Scene 12- Kiara Returns

(The scene starts out with Kiara knocking on Will's door. He answers it, when he sees who it is, he pulls her inside.)

Will: Thank-God you're alive!

Kiara: What do you mean? If I can fight your father and survive, I can live through Governor Swann threatening me.

Will: You were immortal when you fought my father. You were not when you almost got killed by Swann. Also, the governor really wants you dead. He doesn't want anything but that.

Kiara: Well then Governor Swann's an idiot.

Will: It's not just him. Elizabeth and some of the towns folk want you dead as well.

Kiara: So who's side are you on? You're the one that saved me from being killed in the beginning, yet, you're married to Elizabeth.

Will: I prefer not to choose sides.

Kiara: Alright then, but I was wondering.

Will: Yes?

Kiara: I want to go and see Nathan again, would you be able to help me with that? But, something different from last time?

Will: I sure can.

(He backs up, letting her in the door.)

Will: Come with me.

(He leads her up the stairs, into the same room as before. Will walks up to the trunk, opens it, and pulls out a blue dress.)

Will: What about this one?

Kiara: It's perfect.

(She takes it in her hands, admiring every last stitch of it.)

Will: I'll call in a couple of maids to help you get dressed with everything else that goes with it. I can also get them to do your hair if you would like.

Kiara: I want to look as different as possible.

Will: Then give me a minute, I'll go get Marie and Katrina.

(He walks out of the room. Then he comes back in a few moments later with two servant girls.)

Will: Will you please help this fine young lady do her clothes, an hair?

Marie: Yes Sir.

(They lead her behind a changing thing.)

Katrina: William Sir, you might want to leave. This could take a while.

(Will leaves the room. The screen fades, then goes to the fort, where Governor Swann and Commador Norrington are talking.)

Swann: Why didn't you want her killed today? She's a pirate, it's what she deserves.

Norrington: I said myself to Mr. Mrs. Turner that I would never kill a woman. Even if she was a pirate. I am not a sort a man that breaks my word.

Swann: She still should have died. If she shows up again, and I see her, she will die.

(Screen fades back to Will's house. Kiara comes out into the hallway. Hair, make-up, and the dress are all on. She looks a lot different. Will hears the sounds of her shoes on the floor and looks up.)

Will: Dear God.

(He walks over to her.)

Will: You look . . . amazingly beautiful.

Kiara: Why thank-you Mr. Turner. Now, you must excuse me, for I am going down to the fort to pay a visit to the Commador and his son.

Will: Good day Miss.

Kiara: Why thank-you.

(She leaves, heading for the fort. She comes up behind Norrington and Nathan. They're staring out into the sea.)

Kiara: Why is it that two fine gentlemen such as yourselves seem so sad?

(They both turn around.)

Norrington: M'lady. What are you doing up here?

(Kiara puts one hand on her hip.)

Kiara: Don't play stupid with me Norrington. You know who I am.

Nathan: Kiara!

(He runs up to her, and they hug.)

Norrington: Kiara? Why did you come back?

Kiara: I had to. I wouldn't be able to live anywhere but here.

Norrington: What do you mean by that?

Kiara: I mean that I can't live without your son.

Norrington: What are you talking about?

Kiara: I'm in love with Nathan.

(Norrington looks shocked.)

Nathan: I love her to father. There's no way that you can separate us.

Norrington: I plan not to.

Nathan: Thank-you father.

(Nathan leans over, and kisses Kiara on the cheek.)

Norrington: Kiara, we were just about to go visit your brother. Would you care to join us?

Kiara: It would be great.

(They head down to the jail.)
