|  | crates and apples
« Thread Started on Jul 16, 2006, 3:21pm » | |
Kayla walked down the dark alley way with a green apple in her hand with it being half eaten. It was dark outside and she just got over a huge hangover. She currently had no idea where she was but as far as going to a dark place, she conquered. She swayed everynow and then and nearly tripped on a small stick but besides that she looked fairly normal. She had a splitting head ach and the light only made it worse.
Kayla stopped as two large squares caught the corner of her eye. She turned her head and looked at them. "hmmmmm...." She mumbled and staggered over to them. They were upside down so she turned her head upside down to read them. "Ehhhh!" She yelled as she held her head. "Mother of flppin' god!" She managed to read what the crates said:
Liverpool's Finnest apples
In fine lettering it also read: Imported from Liverpool, England. Kayla turned her head back up slowly. She sighed and then a thought popped into her head. "mwhahahaha," She replied.
She began opening the crate as she threw away her old apple. She finnally got it open and peered inside. "Oh my god!" she exclaimed and felt like diving into the crate. "appples!!" She reached her hand inside the crate and grabbed three. "hehehe."

Michael had been heading to the pub when he had seen a rather strange looking young woman stagger into a back alley. His curiousity awakened, he followed her and saw her begin digging through a crate, talking to herself as if she were mad.
Walking quietly up behind her, he put a firm hand on his officer's sabre and looked at authoritative as he could muster, "I hope those are your apples ma'am," he said, making his voice deeper for effect.

Kayla straightened as she heard the man behind her. She closed her eyes and peered over her shoulder looking innocent. "Shit..." she muttered quietly enough not to be heard. An idea popped into her head and she turned around. "Of course not," She smiled and held out her hand with one of the apples and thrust it against his chest. "Just thought you might want an apple or two, you know?" She smiled innocently and put her hand on the back of her waist and lightly touched her hidden pistol. "And I just wanted to ask you, what the hell your doing following me into a dark ally such as this?" She replied walking around him holding out her hands as she walked back up to him. She took a bite of the fresh apple while looking him in the eye.

Michael raised an eyebrow incredulously. "You thought that an officer of His Majesty's Royal Navy would want an apple?" He asked as he tossed them back into the crate. He narrowed his eyes at her question, "I have the authority to do as I please, which is something you do not have, though you might try to steal it. What's your name young lady?"
He was worried, she seemed unconcerned about being caught breaking the law, and carried herself with an ease he didn't see in normal citizens.

Kayla smiled and looked down at the ground. She looked back up at him tilting her head a bit. He almost seemed worried. "Well at least I tried to be nice. Everybody likes apples," She took another bite and chewed as she took a step back. "And if you had the authority to do as you pleased, then why does the government tell you where to go all of the time, and when to go, when in real life, you have families to get back home to," She replied standing still again but with grace and easiness. She realized he had asked for her name. "The name, my good sir, is Miss Kayla Nicole Lea. And what is yours, may I politely ask? Especially since you asked for mine. So it is only fair to ask for yours."

Michael grimaced, the commonors response. "I volunteered for service Miss, the government tells me where to go because I allowed them to. As to my name, it is Captain Michael Howard. Now that apple in your hand is stolen. You're under arrest and need to come with me. I don't want any trouble from you either."
Michael lifted his sword a bit to bring her attention to it, making her understand that he meant business. "When you're aquitted by a court you may retrieve your apples."

Kayla down to the gun again and looked up at Mr. Howard. She looked at his sword and felt of her gun. now who could really win this one? Me or him?.....Me if I'm good. She looked around him and saw how far they were in the ally. It was a good ways but at the corner of her eye was a way to escape. A little climbing sure but the escape ladder was a way better plan than running only to be caught even easier. She knew that if she shot him, climbed quick enough then the ladder and up on the roof would be an easier way to get off. They were most likely next to a bakery which means they most likely had a simple way of getting down after a few hours or so. The hours would make it seem less obvious that she was even there and she could hang out on the top of the roof unseen by people below and unseen by people who would be on the top. That way she could either climb back down the way she came or she could climb to the other side of the building and get down to make it less obvious. If someone came she could just say that she was there for simple matters. She would catch back up with a ship or with Kendra. Kayla nodded her head and looked into Mr. Howard's eyes. She took another step back but didn't look worried at all.
"That sword of yours doesn't frighten me, my good sire. Neither does the fact that you are an army man and can arrest me or even hang me for that matter," She didn't move her hand from her waist where her finger tips touched the outline of the gun handle. She didn't flinch or make any attempts to give out the fact that she did have a gun on her. And a small but sharp knife at her left ankle hidden under her clothes. She would wait to see what happened. She didn't want to shoot him. She didn't like to shoot people, especially people as smart as he looked to be. But for special occasions, she could change that fact.

Michael flinched for a moment, "I'm not an army man... I'm a member of the Navy. He glanced towards the end of the alley, "we're very far from the street aren't we?" He asked, then, without waiting for an answer he bellowed "GUARDS, THIEF, BRING THE GUARDS," and took a step back, as if inviting her to run through the now open exit. He kept a hand on his sword, an undignified common woman like her probably carried a knife up her sleeve.
"I hope you're fast," he said. He could already hear the tramping of heavy feet on the run and the murmurs of curious people just outside the alley.

Kayla pulled out her gun faster than you could blink with a stern look on her face. Not showing any emotion she held it pointed at his forhead. It just barely touched his head. That wasn't part of the plan, but that would be okay. She held his hand that held the sword. "I don't have to be. If that crew of yours comes any time soon, I'm sure they wouldn't want their lovely captain to be blown to bits now would they?" She then couldn't give a rats ass if she blew him to hell or not at that momment. She moved her eyes just enough to see over his head and keep her side vision on his movements. She could hear the feet of civilians comming to see what the bloody hell was going on. She knew that he would fret, but she had learned how to shoot if he did anything to keep her from shooting. one fret and she would pull the trigger and climb. She repeated the steps to herself. The guards were a ways away from here. most definately near the docks. Far ways away.
She leaned in to him and whispered in his ear, "Jus' to let you know, I don't run in expensive clothes such as these," With that she used all of her strength and pushed him to the other wall which made him fall down and she put her gun in her mouth and pulled herself up over the crates and began climbing the window panes. She reached the ladder and began climbing up to the roof. While she began climbing the ladder she took her shoes off and threw them over the top of the bakery which landed with a light "clack!" She smiled down at him and jumped onto the roof.

Michael clattered back against the wall, his head slamming into it with a crack. He fell, dazed, and by the time he staggered to his feet the woman was gone. No matter, she had said her name to him, and that was all the guards needed.
Of course, the tramping feet of the army men coming to take care of the thief grew louder now that the criminal was gone. The men pulled up and examined his uniform, going into a quick salute. "A woman with shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes, 5 foot 6 inches or a bit taller. She's wearing a rather tatty suit. Goes by the name Kayla Lea." He waited impatiently while the men stood, then burst out, "Well, get going you slobs. She's getting away."
Shaking his head Michael made a mental note of her appearance in case he happened to bump into her during his stay and headed towards the tavern to await his officers, a massive headache forming from his bump on the wall.

Kayla just happened to hear what Mr. Howard had said to the officers. "That bastard.." she replied to herself quietly. She slouched against the wall that maintained the roof of the bakery. She sighed as she heard the officers down below scatter everywhere looking for her. She crouched down as she made her way to the center of the building.
Once she was sure no one could see her, she began taking off her dress that was now tattered and pitiful looking than ever, to reveal cacky long pants and a large white poofy shirt. she took the dress and hid it in one of the corners. She pulled up her hair and pulled out a thin string from her left pocket to put it in a mans pony tail. She smuged off her make-up and ratted out her hair a bit, to look more manly. she furrowed her eye brows and took out a rather small mirror that she had stolen from the market in Italy a while back in her more younger years. Pleased with her appearance she began climbing back down the way she came.
She grabbed another apple and walked out of the ally way looking both ways and walking into the streets and back to her temporary appartment after passing five officers who paid no mind to her.
