I still dont own Pirates of Penzance I got a little carried away with the whole death thing, but just go with it, it gets really good!
----------------------------------------------------------
The door flew open and we came into a small room with a handful blue clad guards in it. They all stared as we entered, either stunned or drunk. We reached for our cutlasses and drew them, ready to strike. They looked at us like we were crazy, and taking the moment to our advantage, we swung.
They were very unsuspecting, still in slight shock of our appearance and the fact that we were women in men's clothes. I don't exactly remember what happened, all I know is that Charity and I slashed at then, bodies dropping to the floor and blood seeping over the stone. Filling cracks with the warm liquid that dripped from the lifeless owners. It all collected in one place in the floor, a pool that was the red of hatred.
Killing is far too easy; it comes without a piece of mind and is fulfilled without a single thought. No one really stops to think about them, who they are or what they still have to say in what would have been their life. It turns you into some person you do not know, trapped within yourself.
I looked down at what we had done, and turned away at the gruesome sight. My heart was pounding in my chest and my hands, face, and clothes were covered in sticky, warm blood. I was unsure if it had come from me or the men that we had killed.
Charity fiddled with the keys for the large wood door that lead to the cells. I took my cutlass and knelt down to one of the men. I ran my hand over his still warm cheek, and a tear fell on his bloody body. I was still numb, but we were on a mission that had to be fulfilled. I took the blade of my cutlass and wiped it clean on the man's shirt.
I straitened up and scanned the small room. There was nothing really, only a small wood desk that had nothing but a few sheets of paper with a handful of unfamiliar names. Behind me, I head the lock click.
As soon as the door flew open we started down the long hall of cells, each one had only one person. They all looked miserable and sad, crying or clutching the bars, trying to reach out to us as we walked down the hall. Scanning people for a familiar face, a black top hat caught my eye.
I skid to a halt on the slippery floor and peered through the bars. Alastair was huddled in the corner, eyes shut and sitting so still I was afraid he was dead. As I unlocked the door and flew open the cell, he opened them and stared at us with a lifeless expression on his face. I hurried over and ran my hand over his cheek.
As if awaking from a nightmare, he blinked many times but arose. He was very pale and slightly wet, but his face was lighting up like a Christmas tree. He pulled us both in a warm embrace.
"I have never been so glad to see you two in my life! How did you-?" Charity cut him off.
"We need to find the rest of the crew, and fast. Do you know where they are?" He shrugged and motioned down the long hall.
"They could be anywhere. The guards are pretty lazy, they might be somewhere around here," we made our way down the hall, looking in between the bars and occasionally finding a member of the crew.
We had collected Bram, Vester, Jack, and Cedric before we heard the shouts of more guards from the floor above. Working quickly, we ran quickly through the countless halls, looking over sad, bloody, and occasionally, dead people before we came to the cell where the Pirate King was.
He was sitting on the wooden cot and scratching something illegible on the stone behind him. It wasn't until we threw open the cell before he even looked up. I almost yelped aloud when I saw his face. It was shrunken and pale, red scratches and purple bruises decorated his face like some sort of twisted jigsaw puzzle.
He smiled slightly and straitened up, opening his arms wide as if to welcome me into them. I took a couple steps over and he jumped to me, wrapping his arms around me and crying quietly onto my shoulder. I awkwardly patted his back and he pulled back.
"Thank you so much, I had no idea two...um…"
"You can save that for later, right now we need to go," Charity cut in and grabbed his arm, pulling him into the hall.
We only made it a few cells over before I saw Cecil. My heart broke when I saw him, slumped up in the side of his cell and playing with a fray on his tattered shirt. I found the key and slid it into the lock. He looked up at the sound and his face lit up when he saw me. I dropped the keys in the Pirate King's hand.
"Go find the others, I need a moment," he seemed to understand and took them, beckoning his men down the hall. I slid open the door and we just stared at each other. I stared at the soft hearted pirate that I had fallen in love with, with his long hair and short stubble, his six foot frame and shocking green eyes.
I took one step foreword and he did the same. The tension between us broke, and we jumped together. He hugged me hard and lifted me off the ground, his sobs in my ear and my cries on his shoulder. Our kiss was wet with tears.
"I thought I would never see you again," he kissed me again "I was heartbroken that someone doubted us, and they locked me away for it," he kissed once more.
"I feel so bad! It was me that got you in this, me and my unpredictable heart. I am so sorry!" My face was wet with tears and he kissed me a fourth time.
"I would never blame you for something like this. I almost knew this would come out right in the end!" We kissed a final time then broke apart. He looked at me with his tear streaked face. "How many people are out so far?" I listed all that we had broken out so far.
"But the Pirate King has the keys and I sent him to find more of the crew. I think the soldiers have been alerted, so we should be careful," As luck would have it, I heard a shout from behind me and whirled around. Three soldiers were standing there, one with a pistol pointed right at us.
