*Carrie awoke after a short doze on the hard floor of the poop deck. She felt the movement of the ship beneath her. The Pearl was settin' sail with her aboard as a stowaway. She had never ment it to go this far. Now she'd surely have to reveal herself. After all, she was getting hungry and she would die within days if she didn't have something to drink soon.*

:Jack left Tobbs to the helm, trusting her to see the departure of the Pearl safely under way, and he headed below. He needed to get a idea of what they would need in Tortuga. Rum being on the top of his list.:
:He turned when he heard someone moving around. He thought most of his crew was on deck. Wherever the moment was coming from it was behind him. He placed his hand on his sword, and whirled around, tossing it into the plank of wood next to Carrie's head. That trick he'd learned from Will came in handy. When he saw her standing there, clearly frightened he frowned:
"What are ye doing here?" He asked her, not moving. "This is no place for stow aways....we be pirates lass...." His face was fairly stern as he looked at her. He didn't intent to pick up any extra crew.:

*Carrie was frightened by the flying board, but all in all in awe of the presence of the man she had been seeking out for years, Captain Jack Sparrow. But he was looking at her in quite a stern way, and she didn't feel right that she had been caught. She would have much rather revealed herself. But there was no time to fret she had to answer him before she was thrown overboard, or worse.* "I followed to this ship, Cap'n. I'd never seen the Black Pearl before and I wanted dearly see what it was like. I stayed on board, and I was going to reveal myself.. but.. but I feel asleep 'ere and then when I woke up the ship was already movin'! So I figured that I had to stay in hiding, sir and reveal myself later! But now you've found me... and I'll do anything to stay on this ship!! I'll swab the decks, I'll clean your feet, hell, I'd sleep with ye if ye let me stay, Cap'n. So please, have mercy on a stupid nosy stowaway!" *Carrie cowered to her knees and waited for the captain for what doom might face her.*

(OOC: Sorry for the double post! But I have a point I promise!) *Then Carrie comes up with the silliest idea yet, and she tries to act a little more courages. She gets of her knees and she starts singing, and swiveling her hips* "Yo ho, Yo ho,.. a... pirate's life for me. We're thiefs and plunderers, really bad eggs, drink me hearties yo ho!" *Then she slowly builds confidence and sings the rest of the song loudly*

-Clarion- *Clarion was glad the agreement was made. He shoved his mug away from him and stood up slowly then headed casually out of the tavern. He saw Jack get on board the Pearl and then saw a woman go to the wheel and the ship set sail and made it's way out of Port Dantes. The further it got, the bigger his grin grew. Finally it was but a small speck on the horizon. The sky was dark and the moon covered in clouds. The citizens of Port Dantes bustled about, unaware that a horrible crime was about to unfold in their usually quite little port. Clarion went back into the Tavern and stood beside Barbossa.* Captain Barbossa, The Pearls left the port. *Clarion said plainly. He was ready to get started.*

*Tobbs smiled as she saw Jack swing down to Rose and herself. Nodding her head, she went up and took the wheel, humming to herself as she watched the Pearl begin to move forward. Yes, a lovely day indeed...
So they'd be heading for Tortuga, that she was happy about. Tortuga always had the best rum, or at least she thought. But her attention twas drawn away by Carrie's appearance.
Drawing her sword slightly though still at the wheel with a compass, she watched and listened carefully, making sure Jack was in no harm. When the girl spoke of even sleeping with Jack to stay aboard, she sent the lass a shocked and bewildered glare. How dare she say that bout the Cap'n? Or even think that? !?
Jack was the a pirate, aye, but he was truly a good, no great man! She glared suspiciously at the girl as she began to sing, her eyes only glancing down to check the compass once in awhile. Aye, she'd be watchin' this Carrie...*¨(ooc:Carrie, no worries, Im defensive over jack all the time, you'll be seein' that as time goes by! Muahaha!

*She watched lovingly as Will left to where she assumed would be the docks. He'd needed a small break, and she knew he was thinking of the Pearl, and Jack, and the crew.
After cleaning up a bit with Abigail, she noted the time and decided it was to settle the twins in for bed. Walking up the stairs and entering their play room, she granted their pleading wishes to play for "five more minutes", then ushered them off to their room, where she dressed them for bed and readied them for sleep.
As they huddled up in bed and under their covers, she hugged them both lovingly and kissed them on their foreheads. Yawning again, she was about to sit down and read, when she heard Will behind her, a book already in his hands.*
Will! You startled me, I didnt hear you enter! How was your walk?
*She smiled and hugged him, resting her head upon his shoulder and closing her eyes, savoring the sweet moment for a minute before releasing her embrace.*
I see you've brought a...Sarah!!! So glad to see you again! *She hugged her friendly and smiled.* We've much to talk about, new days bring many new things, but I'm afraid I must retire...*She lowered her voice so not to concern Will.* I've not been sleeping too well, nothing in particular, just restless, as if somethings going to happen I know not of, and these dreams I keep having...*She sighed, frustrated and tired.*But we must talk of things tomorrow, for sleep is what I need!
*Turning back to Will, she thanked him for taking over for now and made sure it was alright, before kissing the twins' foreheads once again, then kissing Will goodnight. Smiling once again, she went out of the room and to her own, lying down upon the bed without caring to slip into her night gown. In an instant, she was sleeping softly.*

*Will hugged Elizabeth as well when he had first come in and appologized for startling her.* The walk was fine, I stopped by the fort and visited with Ally. *He smiled then continued reading the story to the twins. Their eyes fluttered as they tried to stay awake but it was no use and they drifted off. He kissed each of their foreheads and pushed the hair out of Catherines face and stood up, placing the book back on the shelf. Then Elizabeth turned and kissed him goodnight and she hurried off to bed. He frowned and looked at Sarah. He led her to the front door and sighed.* I think something is troubling her. *He said, standing in the doorway of the now opened front door. Then he patted Sarah on the shoulder and smiled.* It was nice of you to drop by Sarah, If I hear anything about Jack I'll let you know, you have my word. *He said then waved goodbye and headed upstairs. Elizabeth was already asleep atop the covers. He lifted her gently as not to disturb her, then pulled the covers down, placing her beneath them. Then he simply slipped off his shirt and laid down beside her, although he had a restless night. Tossing and turning and awaking with a start the entire time.*

:Jack watched Carrie a moment, his face didn't change for a long while, but finally he just nodded:
"Aye..you can stay...but none of that stuff you'll be needin' to do......I only ask that you carry yer weight around this ship......" He gestured towards the cabins: "Find yerself a room and eat something...when yer done...come on deck...."
:With that he turned and joined Tobbs on deck, saying nothing for the time being:

Abigail tidied up the dirty table and kitchen while Will and Elizabeth spoke to the visitor. Abby poked her head out from the kitchen to see who it was. It wasn't often that Will Turner brought someone home. Abigial knew most everyone who visited the house. As she peeked out from the kitchen, Abby glimpsed the woman that Will and Elizabeth were speaking to. She recognized the woman, Sarah, from the adventure with Captain Jack and Barbossa nearly three years earlier. Abigail wondered what brought the woman to the house at this hour but she was quite tired. All morning she had run after the twins, trying to keep them from trouble. Abby quickly set the table for breakfast then retired to her spacious room on the bottom floor. She closed the door, fell fast asleep on her comfortable mattress, dreaming of sailing the seas again.

Post by Captain Morgan Barbossa on Aug 23, 2003 2:34:30 GMT -5
(Caution: This post *may* be a little more graphic than some people are used to, so please dont get mad. I'm warning you now....)
~Captain Barbossa
::When Barbossa heard Clarion mention the Black Pearl, he immediately jumped up and ran to the window. Gazing out into the darkness, he could make out the shape of the large vessel as it pulled out of the dock. It was indeed the Pearl, there was no mistaken that. He could only hope Jack was aboard....:: "Clarion...ready ta 'ave some fun?" ::Barbossa suddenly whipped out his pistol and aimed it directly at the back of a nearby man's head. He pulled the trigger, and immediatly following the shot, screams filled the air. Chaos insued, as people began running to the door, trying to escape with their lives. Barbossa met them there, his sword drawn, and slaughtered them one by one. It seemed that his lust for blood and carnage was unquenchable, and even Clarion was a bit terrified of him in this state. Finally, he sheathed his blood-covered sword, and laughed:: "I 'aven't done that in years! Ahhh, it feels good ta be back, mates..." ::His eyes sparkled with a strange fire as he ran from the building, pistol in hand. Screams and shotd could be heard from the streets. Clarion and Hawk exchanged worried glances before they followed Barbossa outside::

*Nic had finished her rum and gotten on board the Pearl again. She watched the confrontation between Jack and Carrie from a distance and eyed her suspiciously. Shrugging to herself, she looked out on the sea, glad to be leaving Port Dantes.*
