Chapter One
Port Royal was such a boring town, even if there were many people living in it. There was no adventure, excitement or danger in the town. It was nothing but old, stuffy rich people who thought they mattered more than God himself.
That was why Lady Kea Renee Arthington and Lady Calandria Nerissa Morgan relished in shaking things up a bit. They'd first managed to ruffle some feathers when they bought a large mansion and moved into it together. Then again when everyone realized that they planned on living as two single women together since they were best friends and had no certain man who was courting them.
As it so happened they were on their way to a ball being given by the noble Commodore Norrington or Borrington as they secretly called him. Neither of them really wanted to go to the gala, they'd rather be sailing on the Caribbean Sea than making small talk with men who ogled at them and didn't care a bit for any of their opinions.
Arriving at the door in the carriage, a footman helped them out and they headed towards the party. On their way to the house they caught a few stares from the gentlemen that were also walking inside. Not that they could help it but the two were naturally very pretty twenty three year olds. Kea, standing at 5'4", had smooth fair skin with nary a blemish, her hair was soft and shoulder length, a strawberry blonde. Her eyes were feline shaped being a jade green color; full lips that most females where envious of and was known for her quick wit and extreme charm. She was very level headed, polite and loved to laugh, and her voice was soothing and kind. Then there was Calandria with her mid back length, silky caramel color blond hair, golden speckled smoky blue eyes, and a small mouth. This was often seen in a smile with such an infectious belly laugh escaping it that many would look her way. Standing at 5'5" she was considered taller than most men liked women to be, but she still attracted them because of her personality that was always sunny. Nothing seemed to get her down, although no one but Kea knew that Ria had a fierce temper that was quickly provoked when she got ticked off. Bad things could happen if Ria got mad. Altogether the two were great friends that clicked very well. On their free time they would throw French insults around the room, giggling whenever one was utterly hilarious.
"God Kea, can you believe that we somehow convinced ourselves to go to this," Calandria or Ria whispered to her friend as they walked up the front steps of Norrington's mansion. She was dressed in a dark blue dress that was low cut exposing her cleavage and had sheer silver over coat.
"These people don't even really like us." Kea, who had on a jade green dress with gold leaves sewn onto the hem and sleeves of it which, was also low cut, stated out of the corner of her mouth while looking around the room that had gone silent as they were announced. The guests were giving them glares with a few whispers heard too. "Blast, here comes Norrington. I guess we should look happy to be here. Or he shall be gravely disappointed." With that Kea fixed her face with a smile as the man walked up.
Taking Kea's gloved hand he kissed it extravagantly while bowing slightly, "Lady Arthington, I am so pleased that you made it. It wouldn't be the same without you here."
"Indeed? Then I shall make it a point to please you more." She commented, though the sarcasm was lost on him. Ria caught it and rolled her eyes as she stood watching the two.
"I'll be looking forward to it."
'I bet you will.' Kea thought to herself.
Ria snorted softly into her gloved hand thinking, 'Good lord! Can the man be any less noticeable? Doesn't he realize we're undesirable company? Of course not! He's so in love with Kea he can't think straight.' She chuckled again but louder making her friend and the Commodore glance at her. "Sorry, I think I have something in my throat, I'll go get a drink." And with that Ria went to the refreshment table leaving Kea glaring at her back.
Turning back to the Commodore, Kea pasted a smile on her lovely face, "It's my pleasure to be here, James. I don't mind spending an evening dancing and chatting with good company."
"Then you have no objection to a dance then?"
"Most certainly not." Kea lied suavely, so not wanting to dance but not able to decline. James led her out onto the dance floor and swept her into the steps of the waltz. With a desperate look around she spotted Ria smirking at her while nursing a glass of champagne. She stuck her tongue out at her then grinned when she saw Gillette making his way over to Ria. The man had a incredibly, obsessive crush on Ria, about as bad as the one Norrington had on Kea.
Ria smirked over the glass at her friend being stuck in the arms of James, but that smirk disappeared quickly as she saw Kea's eyes mischievously glance to her right then back again and smile meanly. Wondering what her friend was looking at Ria turned and nearly choked on her drink when she saw Lieutenant Damien Gillette making his way towards her. Swinging around Ria tried to make a quick escape but had no such luck when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Calandria, my sweet! Where were you running off to? You naughty girl. I've been waiting for you to show up." Gillette said wagging a finger in her face as if scolding her. Ria frowned in response and resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him. "Ah, I see, not to talkative tonight are we, my dear? If we danced we have no need to speak so shall we?"
"It's nice to see you to, Lieutenant Gillette." Ria responded demonstrating that she was able to talk. "Darling, how many times must I ask you to call me Damien?" He murmured at Ria while looking into her eyes. "At least one more time, Lieutenant." Ria half-heartedly joked, looking back at him, as he offered her his hand to dance. Swallowing her pride Ria took his hand and followed him to the dance floor. As she and Damien danced she made faces at Kea every time she saw her. Trying not to laugh Kea did the same back to Ria as her and James continued to swirl around the other couples on the floor.
Suddenly the party was interrupted when a thunderous BOOM was heard. The doors crashed open revealing Mr. Murtogg from the fort.
"Pirates! We're being attacked by pirates!" He yelled making the crowded ballroom explode into action with the guests trying to get out or hide. To Kea's annoyance the women began screaming which annoyed her because she had no patience with women who were afraid of everything.
Upon seeing Norrington, Murtogg ran over to him, "Commodore, pirates are attacking the fort!"
"Is it Sparrow again? If it is then I will be showing him no mercy even though the Turners would object. It's not unlike him to still try to attack this fort once more."
"No sir, it's a ship we've never seen before."
Realizing he was really needed Norrington let Kea go but warned her to stay put and safe as he left to deal with the attack. Gillette silently followed his superior knowing he must help, leaving Ria standing on the dance floor trying to get to Kea.
"Kea! We have to help!" Ria said grabbing her friend's hands in hers when she finally found her.
"How about fighting them all by our onesies?" Kea asked, a bit distractedly. She felt the ruby pendant around her neck get warm, but it was not from her body heat. Just like her mother had told her, before she died, it would do whenever something in her life was about to unfold.
Calandria's voice cut through her thoughts, "No, our ships aren't far from here. We could make it there really fast on horseback and sail to the rescue. It would help us become infamous like we want! And it wouldn't take us more than forty five minutes to sail back here to save the town."
Kea considered, "You're right let's go!"
With a rustle of their large ball gowns the two women took off through the house making their way towards Norrington's stables. Reaching it they tiptoed silently to where the horses were. Quietly they removed the dresses, taking billowy peasant shirts out of the pockets in them. Kea put on her grass green one and Ria her midnight blue one then each stood in the breeches and scuffed sea boots that they always wore under the dresses. Moving as fast as they could they saddled two horses and took off galloping into the night. Ten minutes later they found themselves at a secluded bay where their two magnificent ships sat waiting in the water. Their hearts swelled with pride as they looked upon their ships. Kea's named Le Clarion and Ria's, The Golden Lark.
Now off the horses the two ran down to the beach where a small row boat sat. Getting in they quickly rowed first to Kea's ship, Le Clarion.
"Ria, we'll sail right away for the town. When we get there we blast them down to Davy Jones' locker. Savvy?"
"Savvy. See you in a bit mate." Ria yelled as she rowed over to the Golden Lark. Once upon deck she called her crew and ordered them to set sail immediately. Twenty minutes later the two opposing pirate ships sailed into Port Royal's bay. Seeing the threatening ship still firing upon the town the women let loose their cannons upon it. The enemy ship, realizing it was being attacked, began to fire upon Le Clarion and The Golden Lark.
After a bit the unknown enemy ship turned quickly and fled from the scene with a considerable amount of damage to it. Loud cheers rose from each of the victorious ship's crews.
Back at the fort, Norrington and Gillette stood on the battlements with stunned looks upon their faces, swords resting at their sides.
"Commodore? Who are they?" Gillette questioned, confused after watching the fight that went on in the water below.
Norrington shrugged, "I have no idea. But they have got to be the best pirates I've seen help us in a while. I wonder who they are."
The two became silent once again as they watched the ships sail away, both wondering who it was that had just saved the town of Port Royal from the mysterious pirates that had attacked it. And if Sparrow had any connection with any of them.
