"In time. You see, if you wish me to help you..."
*He placed hand on her shoulder*
"...you must do something for me."
*He remained standing, feeling her shaking beneath his hand*
"Admiral Norrington", *he continued*, "is going to be brought up under charges of piracy very soon. I want you to testify."

"But I told you, I don't even know him, except by sight!"

"You will testify", *he continued as if he hadn't heard her*, "that as you were walking home one night, you happened to pass by the docks. You were grabbed by several pirates, all learing at your figure and clearly with foul intentions toward your virtue."
*His hand began to stroke her red curls as he continued*
"You begged for mercy, but the scoundrals only mocked your pleas. One held down your legs, the other your arms, and the third, who was obviously the ringleader, climbed on top and had his way with you."
*There was a barely detectable smile on his face*
"Lying in the gutter, crying for your stolen honor, you saw the moonlight pass over the face of the pirate who had ravished you...and saw, to your horror, that it was none other than Norrington."

*Mira stood abruptly, her eyes filled with disgust*
"Your Honor", *she all but spat*, "you have clearly taken me for a different sort of woman. And as it appears you aren't going to help me, I think I'm going to leave!"

"And leave your Victor to the mercies of..."
*He tried to take the note from her, but she wouldn't let him. He took steps toward her, backing her into the corner*
"You must understand what a good deed you'll be doing, putting away a pirate" *he whispered.* "And I do confess, I am glas you came here tonight for more reasons than simply..."
*He looked down at her body and smiled*
"Well, than simply the unfortunate Norrington."

"Let me go."
*Mira forced herself to look as defiant as possible, given the fact that three years of being a Sweeney fan were finally coming back to haunt her*

"That night...the night when you will say you were violated by Norrington, your friends will see you coming home with your clothes torn and tears on your face. They will know what happened. You will only have to change a few details."
*He stood so close to her she could feel his breath on her face*
"It will be tonight."

"You wouldn't..."
He would.
"I'm only seventeen!"
Johanna was sixteen.
*Mira tried to squirm away from him, but his hands caught her, pinning her against the wall. He did not kiss her. But his hands held onto her tightly. She grabbed the nearest heavy object- a random teapot, in this case- and brought it down on his head*

*He ducked, and the teapot caught him on the side of the face. His lip was cut, and for a moment he stared at her in shock*
Struggling? Fighting back?
*No one had ever done that before*
"You little slut", *he hissed, then grabbed her hand, wrenching her weapon away fom her. She responded by shoving her knee between his legs, and he struck her across the face. Hands now free, he began to tare at her dress, ignoring her screams*

*Benjamin had come to turn in a wallet someone had left on the street when he was walking about Paris. What he saw, however, was clearly not supposed to be happening. Poor, naive Ben... he had absolutely no clue what was hapenning.*
"Judge Turpin? Mira?" *He said, a confused look on his angelic face. The only thing he was sure of was that Mira clearly did NOT look happy.*

*In the confusion that ensued, Mira was able to wriggle away form the Judge. She ran over to Ben, heart pounding, her clothing leaving little doubt as to what would have happened. Well, little dobt to most people, anyway. The Judge, meanwhile, was very close to having a heart attack.* Benjamin Barker??

*He looked down to Mira and, not knowing what else to do, wrapped her in a platonic hug.*
"Are you alright?" *He asked after pulling away. Being slightly ADD and having the attention span of a goldfish or perhaps a small rodent, Ben had already forgotten about Turpin and was focusing on Mira.*

"Get me out of here", *she whispered. Turpin was still in too much shock over Ben's reappearance to do anything but stare*
