Ok this chapter took longer than I thought it would and it made me mad. I still don't know if it is really the way I want it. So I might revise it later. But read it and tell me what you think. All right, well thanks to the reviewer Luna Lupin. I have fixed the little problem of how Commodore knew that Mercedes was quite pretty when he didn't even know Jack had any children. Thank you for telling me Luna Lupin. That was my mistake. Did you guys (and girls) like my little cliffhanger at the end? It probably wasn't that much of a cliffhanger it you read the title. Lol. Yet maybe it was… Make sure to tell everyone about this story. 'Cause I really love reviews. I hope that you all enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I do not own any thing related to Pirates of the Caribbean. (Though I wish I did.) Any characters that you do not recognize are mine and hopefully the plot is mine. Thank you and please don't sue me.

Chapter Four: For Escapes and Plans

Mur ambled to Carrissa's room and stood outside the door, debating whether or not he should go in. The last time he found himself in Carrissa's room she had almost given him a concussion by pounding him on the head with her solid silver hairbrush.

FLASHBACK

but when her eyes came to rest upon his handsome face, she saw that it was Mur Sparrow. She shrieked. Mur of course missed this appraisal of himself as he was looking for the door. At Carrissa's shriek Mur looked at her. "Uh oh," he exclaimed as Carrissa leapt up form her chair, grabbed her solid sliver hairbrush and rushed at Mur. She chased him out of her room and into the hall while pounding him on the head with the brush.

"Get out!! GET OUT!" she yelled.

"I'm going!" protested Mur, while shielding his head with his arms from Carrissa's blows. "OW! You're mental! OW! Get Away!"

As soon as Mur was in the hall, Carrissa slammed the door on him. Then she rested her back against it. Mur did the same on the opposite side.

BACK TO REALITY

"Ohh well," thought Mur, "I'll risk it. I've got nothing else to do. I might as well live dangerously and Jaimy did say I should keep and eye on her..."

He quietly turned the handle of the door and it swung open on silent hinges. Mur tiptoed to the bed where Carrissa was sleeping peacefully, the covers pulled up to her chin. He smiled down at her, she couldn't really be that bad. Plus, now that she knew him she wouldn't freak out as much. Mur pulled a chair from the nearby writing desk and sat next to the bed on the left. For a long time her just sat and watched Carrissa sleep and listened to her measured breathing. Mur slouched in his chair; one arm over the back, his eyes closed and he began to drift asleep.

It was just about then that Carrissa let out a little squeak and jerked awake, this also cause Mur to sit up suddenly, alert and tense. Carrissa sat up in the bed, her covers coming down to her waist, and looked over at Mur.

Her eyes narrowed and she said, "Why are you looking at me?" She drew the covers up to her chest. "Who are you? Why am I here? Where am I for that matter…?"

Mur had begun to answer, "I'm Mur…"

But Carrissa cut him off, "I know who you are! Your Jack Sparrow's son!! AND a Pirate! AHHHH!!! Get out of my room! I remember now…you and Jaimy were going to save that stupid girl!" Carrissa leapt from the bed and ran to her nightstand. By this time Mur had stood up and was trying to calm her down.

"Carrissa listen to me…" It wasn't working so he began edging toward the door. Carrissa grabbed one of the glasses that rested on the nightstand and hurled it at Mur. He ducked and the glass went zooming over his head and collided with the wall, shattering into hundreds of pieces.

"Ahh!" exclaimed Mur. " Jaimy was right…you are satanic when you wake up!" Mur found the door handle, turned it, and ran out of the room, slamming the door behind him and locking it. "Wow. Violent girl, that one!" And Mur made his way back to the upper deck. Satisfied that the lock on the door would keep Carrissa in her room, at least until Jaimy got back.

Little did the poor, unsuspecting Mur know, Carrissa had climbed out one of her windows. She had climbed onto the upper deck and was planning her escape route when she spotted Mur with his back to her, leaning against the railing. She crept to a nearby supply closet and retrieved some spare rope and a cloth handkerchief. She went up slowly and stealthily behind Mur.

Before he knew what had happened, Mur found himself hog-tied and lying on his back on the deck of the ship, looking up at none other than Carrissa Norington! He opened his mouth indignantly to tell her to untie him, but she stuffed the handkerchief into it before he could say so much as "what the…?" So all that he managed to get out was a muffled "Whanun dahelferh noeinffjieon!!"

"Loser," said Carrissa over her shoulder, as she walked away from Mur, swaying her hips. Carrissa ambled back to her room to pack her things and get ready to leave the ship.

Carrissa had no intention to stay on this stupid ship or save anyone, except herself. She no longer had to worry about Mur, he was bound, gagged and writhing on the deck; Jaimy was MIA, so she temporarily forgot about him, and she would be off this ship in ten minutes time. But there was one flaw in her brilliant escape plan; the knots she had tied in the rope were not secure enough to hold a Sparrow. Mur easily wriggled free of them and began slinking around the ship, waiting for the opportune moment to pounce on Carrissa, to prevent her escape.

"That stupid pirate Mur, if he can even call himself a pirate. Worst pirate in my opinion. Even I tied him up!" Carrissa laughed to herself as she gathered up her bags and made ready to get off the ship. She had just reached the gangplank and was starting down it when Jaimy appeared, at the bottom with all their supplies.

"Now where is it you think your going?" asked Jaimy, a handsome smile playing about his lips, as he watched Mur sneak up behind Carrissa. Mur opened his arms and slowly advanced toward Carrissa, while Jaimy came up the gangplank toward her. Carrissa was forced to back up, right into Mur's out stretched arms. His arms closed around her and he picked her up.

"Now, now Carrissa," said Mur silkily in Carrissa's ear, "did you really think I could be gotten rid of that easily?"

Carrissa twisted to face Mur; her face barely inches for his. "Why yes, I did think you could be gotten rid of that easily. You didn't seem very tough. I underestimated you. You can be sure that it won't happen next time." Said Carrissa coldly, as she glared at Mur, her jaw set and her eyes steely. (Wow. If looks could kill.)

Mur let Carrissa go and they stood two feet apart, glaring at each other. Carrissa's hands were set on her hips and Mur's right hand was on his pistol.

"OoooK," said Jaimy, breaking the tension. "C'mon Carrissa, time to back to your room." And Jaimy firmly took Carrissa's arm and dragged her away from Mur. Once Carrissa was in her room, again, the boys nailed all her windows shut.

Let usnow take a peep back to Matt and Mercedes...Where did we leave off? Ohh, yes...

...Matt kissed Mercedes, his hands in her hair as the lightning illuminated the sky and room in great forks. The pitch of the storm reached its height, as did their passion. They were kissing so intensely that they didn't hear the door open and someone enter the room…

The ship gently rocked to its side. Matt, had fallen asleep with his head resting on his palm. When the ship rocked, his head began to drupe and it fell into his uneaten cake. (What a waste of good cake.) But he still slept on, muttering to Mercedes about his love for her.

In his room, still wide-awake was Mercedes. At the moment, she was trying to remember what her father had taught her about escaping.

"Now what did he always say? Something to the effect of…um…Oh YEAH! Make it up as you go along. Improvise. Right. Thank you, Dad." said Mercedes sarcastically as she started pacing the perimeter of the room. A stray hair fell out of its neat place in her elegant style and she impatiently brushed it aside. She kept walking, trying to think of a plan. Again some hair fell into Mercedes' face, she started to brush it away again, when an idea came right under her fingers. A bobby pin!

"I can pick the lock!" thought Mercedes excitedly. "Then maybe I can do a little mischief…" she grinned wickedly to herself.

She pulled out the bobby pin and all her hair fell down from its neatly positioned place. Mercedes shook her head, "This one little bobby pin was holding all my hair up? Wow. Chelsea has talent…"

She looked at the bobby pin and then at the door. There was a keyhole on the inside as well as the outside. Mercedes ran to the door, her long hair flying out behind her, and knelt down beside it. Mercedes inserted the bobby pin into the keyhole and with a few swift movements heard the lock click open. She turned the door handle and opened it...

"I'll never lose you!" cried Matt as he jerked awake. He sat up and looked around. He put up a hand to brush the hair out of his face and his hand rested on the cake and frosting.

"What's this?" Matt looked at his hand. " EWWWWWW!!!!" he shrieked and he ran to the water basin to wash off his face. He scrubbed and scrubbed his face until it was a very flattering pink color. (He always did look good in pink.) Then he made his way to where Mercedes was, so he could try out his new plan to "woo" her.

As Mercedes glanced out of the room she noted the positions of Matt's crew, going about their daily chores to keep the ship in ship-shape. She also noted that her room wasn't guarded; Matt obviously thought she was just a harmless little girl. Ohh how wrong he was…

Ok, well I wonder what kind of mischief Mercedes will get into before matt gets to her…The thing between Carrissa and Mur is fun huh? Lol I liked writing that part. I hope you all enjoyed it. Please review. Please… please… please… I am always open for suggestions and I think I might have another story on the way; well I have some ideas anyway. Thanks all!
