Chapter Eight
The final drama before the end!

The boat made port at London port Anne watched from the deck searching for Catherine! She saw her standing next to two other woman and behind them stood a man of middle height. "Mr. Jones"! She thought "it seems ether she doesn’t know yet or she took it extremely well" ."She looks really happy as though she just got engaged"! She thought to her self. The captain came and stood by her, he smiled and sad "are those good people your escorts madam"? "Yes Sir she is my sister and some friends". "All very good you may leave any time". Anne curtsied and thanked him for his generosity "tell me sir what is to be done with the prisoners"? "They will be taken to the jail and hanged proper as all mutineers should". "Hanged"! Shuddered Anne "such a harsh punishment"! "It is a hard crime meme"! Said the Captain as the boat docked.

She thanked him again and walked off the boat as soon as she was off .
Catherine came to meet her. They embraced and cried and hugged for the longest time then Catherine saw her brother chained and cuffed marched down the street "oh oh" she gasped "Henry dear what are we going to do they are going to hang him"!
"No they won’t". Said Henry calmly "I have a plain of escape" .
"Yes said his sisters those two boys has always gotten each other out of scrapes".
"I see" said both woman. Henry first said "we are going to need a boat"."Was Criss w on the boat"? "Yes he should still be on".Said Anne. "Good I will go talk to him". And he was soon gone. Anne turned on Catherine "Henry dear"?
She said in a questioning voice .
The three woman laughed and Catherine smiled and said "Come to our apartment and I will tell you all about it".

"No"! Said Anne "this is wonderful if it is true. You are engaged"!
"Isn't it wonderful" said Catherine "he proposed to me on the very day I found out the truth and I said yes right away it was like a dream come true"!
"But how was it finding out I mean your experience must have been much more terrifying then mine"? "After all he changed into a wolf right in front of you and Edward well he may be dangerous all the time but he doesn’t suddenly change into an animal"! "I must admit said Catherine I am a bite frightened but I love him so much love conquers all fear". "I have something to tell you as well", said Anne with a smile "Edward proposed to me to a few days after his imprisonment". "He said once this was all over we would have a double marriage"!

The four of them smiled at each other "those sly men" said Catherine "telling each other that there going to be married I bet they had the escape all planed out"!
"We do".Said two voices behind them .
They all turned with a start there in the door way was Henry and Edward!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

All four woman stood up "how"? Said Anne "There will be time enough for that".
Said both men "right now we have a ship we need to board if we are to be out at sea before dawn so come".

They all left out into the streets it was dark and the streets were deserted we must be extra quit said Henry the streets and corridors are full of guards!
They snuck along "hide"! Was the quite command and they were all pulled into a corridor as guards marched passed them.

Suddenly Edward hissed and spun around.There in the corridor was the tall figure of a man! The man came out of the shadow and Edward pulled everyone behind him when he saw who it was. Nevel! The Vampire snarled as Nevel said I have been all over the world looking for you and now I shall finish you off! Edward snarled Anne and Catherine and the others hide behind Henry but he was sweating and breathing hard.

"Back off"! Shouted Catherine they all did as she told .

A shining white silver light blazed in every direction when it faded in Henry's place was a wolf of immense size it growled with Edward at the vampire and they both lunged! Nevel who at first had had so much courage backed up at the ferrous monsters coming toward him. Edward had his teeth bared and was on hand an feet crouching and growling muscles tensed in position to pounce.
Henry was also crouching and growling sharp fangs showing.
The vampire lost all courage and ran.
Henry ran after it his heart unable to calm down from the anger and excitement. "Come". Said Edward "he can take care of himself".

Catherine looked back into the dark corridor she thought she could hear whimpering but she followed her brother and the two other girls and tried not to think of what was going on back in the corridor. They soon came to a dock where a boat was anchored! "Get on". Said Edward. "He should be hear shortly"!

They waited for a few hours suddenly they saw him he was torn and bloody but besides that he was running as fast as he could although there was a limp in his leg behind him there were guards! "Come on come on" said Edward the three others cheered him on and he leaped and landed on the deck as the boat pulled out just as the guards reached them and fired gunshots!

Soon they were out into the sea and Henry calmed down and went back into his human form all cut up and bruised but alive. Catherine knelt beside him touching him lightly as a silver medallion glowed on his chest he looked at her with dazed eyes as they continued to glow yellow until both his eyes and medallion stopped glowing then he looked up and smiled at Catherine she smiled back he sat up wincing "Linda"! said Catherine "get the medical bag"." Lydia get fresh cloths"!

The two sisters got to work without a word clearly they had done this before.

Anne watched on with Edward at her side holding her hand.
