The Crossing
Chapter 6: Let the games begin!
A/N:I know this is late. I will have a quote from Beekeepers Apprentice in every chapter.
Quote One-I was fifteen years old when I first met Sherlock Holmes, fifteen years old with my nose is a book as I walked the Sussex Downs and nearly stepped on him.
Disclaimer I own Aurora, Ri, and Phoenix Song.
We decided to start, as Aurora called it, "Operation Laughalot", yup, she called it that, as soon as we approached the ships.
"What's the plan again?" I asked.
"We walk under an upturned boat that forms an air pocket." That was Aurora.
"What if something goes wrong?" Will asked
"Like someone steps on a lobster trap?" I murmured to Aurora. She glared, then asked an unspoken question.
I nodded. A little role switching would be interesting.
Aurora kept Jack looking up so he wouldn't see anything below. I had to subtly guide the rowboat. Thankfully, our plan worked. It was fun, and Jack invented a new shade of red!
"I don't know if this is madness or brillience," Will said.
"Probably both, because he-who-tried-to-pick-a-lock-with-a-bone came up with it." I smiled evilly under Jack's glare. Aurora wisely decided to keep her mouth shut, and NOT be vivisected alive.
We got to the ship otherwise uneventfully. This part would be difficult. I had to get a small fireball that would stay in my hand. I groaned inwardly and concentrated on a small dot of ember. I got a ball of golden fire slightly bigger than my hand. I focused on keeping it alive and stable. Surprisingly, it worked.
I had entered from the other way, and melted a handful of chains. Sneaking up on a sailor, I singed his wig. He yelped and spun around. Looking around, I saw no one had noticed me. Puzzled, I looked around. Aurora was whispering words I could barely hear. In fact, I shouldn't be able to hear her at all. Then I remembered the wind bit. This was going to be a long day.
"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy?" I rolled my eyes.
"You forgot about us," I grinned slyly and uncoiled a wound ball of fire, making a golden fiery snake coil around Gillette's feet.
Aurora appeared right behind me. Several soldiers started sweating. "Leave!" she yelled in this creepy voice she perfected.
As soon as the soldiers from the island came on, Aurora flung out her arms dramatically and time froze.
"Nice work, lass," Jack commented. I rolled my eyes. I thought I had something from my last visit to Aurora's.
"What was that thing?" Will asked as we pushed over the boarding planks.
I groaned as I felt a minute shift in the air. The freeze was coming undone. "Permanent markers, they'll last a week or two. The magenta will fade to pink first, though." I remembered something.
"Aurora, that outfits odd, even for you." I commented.
"Dress rehearsal, remember. Director wanted me to wear my outfit there?" she explained.
"The Gypsy Strangler?" Aurora had gotten a part in it, I forget which one. Aurora scowled. Note to self : Stop saying what's on my mind. I get in trouble.
"The lead, you idiot1 Honestly you have the memory of a fly!" I snorted. I forget the littlest thing, and she goes ballistic.
"Since flies only live two weeks, thank you!" Now I remember, she's supposed to play Miranda Todd in the play.
"What are you talking about?" Will asked.
"Aurora's an actress, or at least thinks she is," I explained.
"You're in it too!" she yelled.
"Oops."
"What part do you play, Miss." Will asked.
"Call me Ri. I'm. the Strangler!" I said dramatically. Will looked nervous. This was going to be a very long trip.
"Don't worry, I'm the sane one, Aurora's insane, honestly!" I explained. He still didn't look convinced. (Deleted!)
"Hey, why don't you go talk to Jack?" Aurora asked. I looked at her. "What?" Wordlessly Will got up. This would be intresting.
