OK, here it is, the sequal to The Last Resistance.

Hope that you guys enjoyed that one and will enjoy this :)

-----------------------------------------------------------

The first two weeks in Port Royal was hard.

Angela had a really hard time to establish her self.

She lived in the Governors house, in one of the guestrooms.

That was the first hard part; she was used to taking care of her self and now there were all these people helping her with everything.

And the second problem, the clothes. Sure, wear a dress with a corset in Tortuga was one thing, but to wear it every day?

So the first couple of days she didn't even leave the house. Governor Swann had forbidden her to walk around in Port Royal in her own clothes. And since she couldn't leave the house she couldn't see Jack, he wasn't allowed inside the Governors house. Angela had no problem with that; she needed some time away from him.

But then, on the fourth evening Governor Swann entered her room with some unexpected news. He told Angela about a ceremony the next day. A ceremony where Jack, his crew, Norrington, Will and the navy men would be rewarded for saving Port Royal. No one would know the truth, of course. Everyone will think that the Dauntless was attacked by pirates, pirates on their way to attack Port Royal and the Black Pearl was near by and decided to help. A rather lame story Angela thought, but far better than the truth. But Angela had a hard time believing that Jack and his crew ever would be accepted by the inhabitants of Port Royal.

"Well, sounds like a good lie. Have fun tomorrow." Angela had turned around, thinking that the Governor would leave and let her go to bed, but no.

"But I was hoping, well, expecting you to be there." Governor Swann told her about the idea Elizabeth had. Since neither Elizabeth nor Angela was going to be rewarded, (two young ladies fighting against pirates? No way.) so Angela would pretend to be a childhood friend to Elizabeth. And now when her whole family was gone after a terrible tragedy Angela had come to live with them. This story was even more ridiculous than the one with the pirate attack; Angela figured that no one ever would believe this one. In fact, she wasn't a noble lady and had no idea how to act like one. But Governor Swann didn't want to hear anything of the fact that she was from the future, that she knew nothing of how to behave in front of rich and noble people or that she just didn't feel like going. She was going and that's that!

So the next morning she was awoken by two young maids who helped her get dressed.

"Is everyone ready?" James was standing in the hallway together with Jack, Will and Elizabeth who was all going to share cab with the Governor and Angela.

"No, Angela isn't here yet." Will was dressed up and looked very impressive, and definitely not like a blacksmith. He was wearing a dark blue jacket and a large brown hat, not as big as the day he helped Jack escape, and without a feather, but it was very nice. Elizabeth was wearing a beautiful dress. The bodice was white with flowers and the skirt was orange, except for in the front where it was bone white. Her hair was beautifully arranged, as usual and she was wearing a small white hat.

Jack wasn't wearing anything different; everyone knew that a pirate was getting rewarded, so he wouldn't dress up as anything else. He had washed himself though and his shirt was clean.

Will sighed and looked up the stairs again. He smiled when he remembered that time, he couldn't believe it had only been a year, when he had looked up those stairs and seen Elizabeth. He had been staring, and he was very glad that she hadn't noticed that. That same day had Norrington proposed, Elizabeth had nearly drowned and they had all met Jack for the first time, and their adventure had begun.

Will looked up the stairs once more, and his jaw dropped. So did Jacks, Norringtons and Governor Swanns. Angela was standing at the top of the stairs. She was wearing a white dress with red flowers; there was a red silk ribbon on her waist. She had lovely curls in her hair, which was tied back. She stepped down with an embarrassed smile on her lips and she looked uncomfortable. She sighed when she saw the look on everybody's faces.

"I knew it, I look ridiculous. That's it, I'm not going!" She turned around but Jack stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

"Ye look very lovely Angela. And just when I thought ye couldn't look more beautiful. Well, ye proved me wrong, eh?" He took her hand and kissed it. Angela smiled.

"Thank you. It's really good to see you again Jack." She had been nervous about seeing him again, but now it felt good. At least she wouldn't be the only outcast with Jack by her side.

"But I'm not going."

"And why not?" Angela leaned forward and whispered in his ear:

"I have no idea of how to act around those people. This is a ridiculous idea; no one will think that I'm some rich lady."

"Listen love. Ye look beautiful, and ye look rich. So all ye need to do is be polite and charming." Angela sighed. "Ye can do this Angela. And do ye really care about wha' those people think abou' ye?"

"No, but Weatherby does. Governor Swann", she added when she noticed Jacks confused look. She looked at the Governor, standing over by the door with the other, anxious to leave.

"Look, it's his reputation I care about. He let's me stay here. He lies for me. I just don't want to fail and embarrass him."

"Ye won' fail love, jus' do as I say." He looked at her for a second. "Ye'll get a lot of attention, I guarantee it. Jus' remember, no one is good enough for ye love. A fine woman such as yerself can't pay attention to jus' any man, savvy?" Angela smiled.

"And what happens if I meet someone I really like?"

"I guess ye'll jus' 'ave to break that gentleman's heart." Angela leaned closer.

"He won't be a gentleman." She backed away, and tried not to laugh at Jack.

"Shall we then? Can't be late for a party, right?"

"You look lovely Angela."

They where in the cab and Elizabeth must have noticed how nervous Angela was.

"It's the dress. It's so beautiful." She turned to Governor Swann. "Thank you. I just wish I could pay you back one day."

"Don't be ridiculous, it's a gift." Angela didn't now what to say, so she just looked at Elizabeth who gave her a look that said: don't argue, just say thank you. Then she asked Angela if she was nervous. Angela had to admit that she was very nervous.

"I just don't want to make a fool out of myself."

No one had time to answer her, the cab stopped. The door was opened and Governor Swann stepped out, followed by Norrington, Will (who helped Elizabeth to step down), Jack and then Angela. Jack helped her down, since Angela hardly could move in her dress.

Angela was able to play her role rather well. She tried not to speak to so many people, but unfortunately there were a lot of people interested in her. So she smiled, talked, laughed and tried to be around Elizabeth all the time.

Then was the ceremony, which was extremely boring. Governor Swann held a long speech where he told everybody what had happened, and of course he lied. Then he explained to everybody that Jack and his crew were staying for a short while, as a thank you for their help. Then Norrington, Jack, Will and the rest of the men that had been fighting in the cave was rewarded with a small medal. Angela could hardly wait for the ceremony to be over, it was very warm outside and she could hardly breathe, thanks to the corset. She looked over at Elizabeth who sat next to her, looking as if she wasn't the least bit uncomfortable. But then she turned her head towards Angela and made a face that showed that she felt the exact same way as Angela.

Then the ceremony was over, but not Angelas' trial. An orchestra started playing and people started dancing.

"May I have the honour of this dance?" Angela turned around and saw Jack. He made a small bow and Angela started laughing. She curtsied before taking Jacks hand and let him lead her over to the other dancing couples. Jack was a good dancer, a very good dancer actually. But to stand so close to him, feel his body pressed against hers, his hand on her waist. Why was it so hard? Why did she feel so embarrassed? Angela noticed that Jack looked almost as uncomfortable as she felt; could he be feeling the same thing as she did?

Either Jack or Angela noticed how everybody else stared at them. Some of them stared because they where curious of the new beautiful girl. Others stared because she was dancing with the pirate. And many stared because of both reasons.

Who was she, and why were there such strong energy between her and the pirate?

After the dance Angela hurried away from Jack, it was too painful to be so close to him.

It was afternoon now, but the sun was still strong and the heat nearly unbearable. It was harder for Angela to breathe now and it felt as if she was going to faint. She tried to find a place with shadow, and walked straight into someone.

"Oh, sorry."

"No miss, please forgive me." Angela stumbled forward and the young man grabbed her.

"I think I need to sit down." Angela mumbled.

"Come with me, I'll help you." He helped her over to a bench and they sat down.

"Thank you. It's the weather; I'm not used to it yet."

"You don't recognise me, do you?" He suddenly said. Angela looked at the man's face. He was young, maybe twenty years old. He had sand coloured hair, a lot of freckles and clear blue eyes. She had a vague feeling that she had seen him before.

"I'm sorry, but I can't place you."

"You borrowed my coat while you were unconscious." Of course, he had been in the cave. Now she noticed the red coat and the small medal on the right side of his chest.

"Oh, really. Well, thank you I guess."

"Your welcome. My name is Stephen by the way, Stephen Jones."

"I'm Angela."

"I know." He smiled and showed a row of very white teeth.

"But there is something I've been wondering. I've heard people talk today, about who you are. Are you who they say you are? A close friend to Mrs Turner from England? Because I thought…"

"Why did you even bother to ask? It doesn't matter what I say, since I easily could lie to you. So what do you think? Who am I?"

The young man looked surprised, clearly that was not the answer he had been expecting.

"Well, you are obviously too intelligent to be a pirate, too well spoken to be an unfortunate one and far too beautiful to be anything but a princess." He took her hand and placed a gentle kiss on it. "My lady." Angela pulled it away from him.

"I'm no lady," Angela said with an angry tone in her voice. She didn't like what he just had said about pirates. Then she saw Jack walk towards them. He made a quick ridiculous bow.

"Are you ready to leave miss?" Angela nodded, stood up and placed her hand on Jacks arm.

"Until next time, Mr Jones. Good day."

"I pray that we'll meet again soon Miss Angela. Good day." He made a bow, but gave Jack an irritated look before he left with Angela.

"Well well, looks as if ye've caught yerself a redcoat. When be the wedding then eh?"

"Shut up Jack!" Angela let go of Jacks arm and tried to walk away, but got dizzy again and had to slow down. Jack caught up with her and placed a gentle hand on her back.

"Are ye all right?" Angela nodded.

"I'm just having a hard time to breathe."

"Let's get ye home."

Since that day, Angela refused to wear a corset, sure if there ever is a special occasion then yeah, she'd dress up nice, but not on a regular bases. So the Governor gave her some shirts and trousers that Angela could wear.

Angela decided that to help Jack and the rest to fix the Pearl, she wanted to spend as much time with Jack as possible before he left. Things were a lot easier between them now, sure there was still a strong energy between them, but their friendship was stronger and Angela could really relax and have a good time with Jack. Even though, she couldn't stop herself from blushing every time Jack gave her his flirty smile. And everyone else noticed the way Jack looked at Angela, with the same love in his eyes as when he looked at the Pearl.

But there were so much more for Angela to get used to.

For instance, to use a chamber pot. It felt humiliating and extremely uncomfortable.

And not being able to take a shower, or a bath, or brush her teeth. Angela felt disgusting!

She liked the food though, and was even able to eat meat, which by the way tasted delicious. It wasn't the same thing here. First of all, she was already very strange and no one had ever heard of a vegetarian before. And secondly, the food wasn't really that nutritious so she needed the meat. And thirdly, the animals were not killed in a slaughter house, they were not tormented. Angela did feel a bit guilty though.

And then there were the manners. Angela had to learn the suitable way for a noble lady to behave. What to say, what to do. Angela tried her best, but sometimes she just couldn't stand pretending anymore, and those times she spent with Jack.

It felt really great to have Jack around. She never had to pretend around him, she could always be herself.

Angela had become something of a celebrity. She was beautiful, mysterious and there was something special about her, besides that, something that no one could put their finger on, but it was there.

The men couldn't stop looking at her, and the women envied her.

But everyone was wondering the same thing.

Who was she?

Some said that she was a princess from a land far far away.

Others actually believed in their story, that she was Elizabeth's childhood friend.

But there was a few who said that she was the Governors young lover.

And some thought that she was a pirate, or an unfortunate one. (AKA a whore)

And there was even some who thought that she was some kind of witch.

But Angela didn't know what they said, and she wouldn't have cared either.

She was happy, she had friends, and she had started to love living in Port Royal.
