Snort- Crew of the Damned, hidden on the Black Pearl for now Above Snort, in the lass’ cabin, he heard that the Peal would soon be heading for the Sun. Aye, then she should becoming down ere soon, Jack’s Daughter eh? When did this appen, ow? No matter, everythin would go as planned ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic sighs to herself and turns around, watching everyone go about the ship. She blinks slowly and puts the bandana back on again. She overhears talk about the curse, and some people being kidnapped. She wonders how Barbossa is alive, and how the curse is in effect again. What did they want now? Surely they had some kind of plan.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sarah Fleming-The Black Pearl
*Sarah sat in her cabin on her bed, thinking. What else had Barbasso said? Something about not killing Governor Swan, because...because.* I got it! *Sarah stood up so suddenly she fell back down with a swaying of the ship. I’ve got to find Jack! She rushed out of her cabin and almost ran into Jack on the deck.* Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack! I...I’ve got it. *She took a breath.* He told Governor Swan that he didn’t want to kill him because...because... Out with it girl, out with it! because we wanted to have a chat with them, Governor and Liz, urrr...Elizabeth that is. I...I hope that helps. If I think of more, I’ll tell you. *Sarah waits with Jack, to see if there’s anymore she can do to help.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Norrington listened intently to Jack’s plans, and then after he seemed to be finished thinking aloud, the Commodore piped in.
Sounds like a plan Sparrow...If you don’t mind, I think I’m going to prep both the Dauntless and the Interceptor (yes, we rebuilt her) for the sail....you can use all the firepower you can get. Now, if that is going to be all Captain, I must excuse myself as I have two ships to quick prep for dawn launch. God’s wind in your sails Cap’n!...
With that, Norrington whirled around and off the Black Pearl, all the while thinking to himself, we’re going to save them....we’ll do it....as he approached the Dauntless, he looked around and found Ally and David standing nearby...he walked up to both of them, and after a quick salute, began to speak
Alright men, listen up! The Captains have decided that we will need more firepower, so I’m ordering the prep sail of the new Interceptor. The bulk of our troop forces will be placed on the Interceptor, since it’s fastest, and can hold more moving weight, while we’ll transfer most of our cannons into the Dauntless, she’s tougher, but not as fast.
David! I will need you on the Interceptor, you’re the Fort Captain, you know your troops the best. Should it come to a hand to hand fight, they will need you there.
Ally! You know the Dauntless like the back of your hand, better than I know her. I’m giving you an unofficial promotion to Captain of the HMS Dauntless for now, since you’ll be the ranking officer sailing her. I will be captaining the Interceptor.
Now, prepare your men, we leave at dawn behind the Pearl, now move troops!! Dismissed!
Norrington turned from the deck of the Dauntless, told David to round up his best troops, and moved over to the jetty where the Interceptor, virgin to the seas, was preparing to sail... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sasha AKA Sara Turner / Jack’s Crew *Sasha turned onto the deck seeing her cap’n and a few other importaint look’in people. Takin a closer look she saw that one of the men was indeed her brother, Will Turner. Sasha stared at him, fixedly. Suddenly he turned and gave her a look of relization. She turned and walked onto the other side of the ship and sat down to think.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Captain Barbossa *Barbossa straightened his jacket and adjusted his hat again. He wanted to look presentable for Miss Elizabeth. He was just pulling his sleeve down when the door opened and Elizabeth was guided in by a rather gruff looking pirate.* "Ahh, ya look lovely, just as I remember ya. ’Ere, ’ave a seat." *He pulled out a chair at the table, and a rather hesitant Elizabeth allowed herself to be helped into it. Then Barbossa himself sat across from her, and signaled for the food to be brought in. Elizabeth started eating at once, and although Barbossa was once again able to eat, he decided to sit and watch her for a moment. Sensing his eyes on her, Elizabeth slowly stopped eating and looked up. Barbossa was smiling.* "Glad ta see yer enjoyin’ the feast, lass." *She immediately threw down her food and stood up.* "I want to know why I’m here, Captain! I want to know how you escaped from Hell and what you want with me and my family! Tell me now, or I swear I’ll send you right back to the fiery underworld!" *Barbossa’s smile faltered, and he stood up as well.* "Now, now, lass...there’s no need ta get angry. I’ll tell ye why yer ’ere. Ya see..." *He sais moving closer to her.* "After Jack broke the curse, and killed me on that Island, the gods decided ta send me back...Ya see, there was a second part ta that curse, somethin’ me mates and I didn’t know about until it was too late. When Cortez died, he vowed that one day, someone would follow on in his footsteps, as it were, and finish the bloody work that ’e ’ad started...He also vowed that the man ta do this would gain immortality, ’avin’ shed the blood o’ all ’is enemies. Now, considerin’ what ’appened the last time you and I met, I’d say that makes ya me enemy, now doesn’t it. But, ya can help change all that....by dyin’ for me like ya shoulda done before...." *He ran his finger along her cheek, causing her to turn away scowling. Barbossa laughed.* "I expected no less... I’ll leave ya to yer meal, then, lass." *With that, he turned and walked out of the room.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ally Black-Captain of the Dauntless *Ally stood as still as a rock as Commodore Norrington told her of her promotion. She just couldn’t believe it! Captain of thr Dauntless! She was so honored and she bowed humbly to the Commodore.* "Sir, I am so honored by this promotion. I will do everything in my power to live up to your expectations." She watched Norrington leave the ship and, still a bit stunned, she turned around to her crew. "You heard the Commodore, men! We shall be setting sail at dawn, so I want this ship in tip-top shape! Make sure that we have more than enough ammunition. We will most likely be facing those cursed pirates, and we don’t want to run out of ammunition, that’s for sure! And make sure we have enough rations for the whole crew. We may be gone for quite a while, and we’ll need everything we can hold. Prepare yourselves, men, and be ready for anything! Now get to work!" She watched as her crew ran about to follow her orders, and she walked up to the helm of her ship and stared over at the Interceptor. She was glad that the other ship was sea-worthy, for it would be much more help to have another ship, and more canons. Ally sighed, knowing that the next day would bring much excitement.*

Elizabeth Swan
Elizabeth had followed along the pirate, hoping to get some answers from Barbossa. When she entered, she looked down and nervously allowed him to help her be seated. She looked back up, searching his face, but all she got was permission to eat, in which she wasn’t too upset over, for she was starved due to all of the happenings of the day.
She began to quickly eat the food, gulping down some wine and munching on some meat, when she sensed his eyes watching her. She was outraged, no, appauled at him, and she stood up furious. When he explained of what was to become of her, she was in shock, and as his fingers brushed across her cheek, she turned her face away wishing him to be sent back to hell and NOT return, but was scared of him being near, now knowing he could kill her anytime he wished, for her blood, as she thought, need not be spread over the aztec gold. As he left the room, Elizabeth trembled, and her knees gave way, for the glint of hope seemed so far now. She collapsed on the ground and began to cry softly, praying for something to happen. Then it struck her hard. If she was his enemy, then so was Will, and Jack, as well, it seemed, her father, for she loved him, and that would doom him. She thought of her Will and sighed, then began to weep once more, hoping that his love for her wouldn’t persuade him to follow, but she knew twas in vain to wish such a thing, for he had her heart, and she had his. She suddenly, had lost her appetite, and as she sat upon the cold wooden floor, she didn’t feel a single thing, but sorrow, and dread. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Thatcher--Elizabeth Swann-Turner’s maid
Abigail blinked her eyes rapidly to stop the tears from streaming down her cheek. It was quite an effort for her to keep her spirits up after pirate Paul separated her from her mistress, Miss Elizabeth. She didn’t like the glance Paul gave her. He looked her up from head to toe, appraising her appearance. Abigail had grave misgivings about his intentions although she found his appearance strangely familiar. For some reason, pirate Paul reminded her of David. She shook her head. "Why that is preposterous!..Mr. David Lettleby is an honorable gentleman. He doesn’t look anything like this scoundral." she thought to herself. She had no choice but to allow Paul to help her with her wounds. He bathed the cuts, gently it seemed, for a pirate. But she looked at him suspiciously, on alert for any more inappropriate looks or comments. She heard him ask if she could answer some questions for him. "Goodness Gracious!..Why would I want to do that?" she thought to herself. Abigail quickly realized that answering Paul’s questions may give her some information to help them all escape from this predicament. She cleared her throat nervously, "Er..If you ..If you have something... you wish to ask me I shall try to do my best to answer." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul turned back around, surprised at the young lass for accepting the offer. He grinned that roguish grin prevelant in all the Lettleby’s, and sat down, face-to-face, with Abigail. "All righ’ lassie, this is goin’ te be a painless ordeal. My firs’ question is about a fella from Port Royale; d’ye know a man by the name o’ David Lettleby?" He waited, hoping she could answer him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Lettleby~ Port Royale officer David saluted the Commodore and immediately started to round up his crew. It was true as he said; David’s troops were the best trained, and best prepared for hand-to-hand combat. David just hoped it wouldn’t come to that. He started shouting orders to his men, telling them to go aboard the Interceptor and prepare all their weapons. "This is going to be a voyage to test your skills, and brains! Now don’t disappoint me!" he barked at them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose had listened intently to Jack’s plan, and considered...it fit with everything she’d been told about the Black Pearl, and the curse...but what was this about Will and Jack’s previous adventure? That she hadn’t heard about. She stopped a crewmember passing by. "’Scuse me, mate, but could you possibly tell me of the last encounted Da - the Captain and Mr. Turner had with Barbossa?" She listens with interest to the story the crewmember tells her, and thanks him for it. With his words and his story ringing in her head, Rose walks along the deck, thinking. So that was what had happened...and now Barbossa was, somehow, back to life. How could it be? And what did he want with Elizabeth and Governor Swann? Ransom, perhaps? No, something inside her agreed with Jack that the cursed pirate captain had something far more sinister up his sleeve. Moonlight shone on the deck, and Rose realized how tired she was. She hadn’t had a decent night’s sleep for almost a week, and suddenly had an urge to sleep. Yawning, she went below and towards her cabin. Pausing with her hand on the knob, she was suddenly taken over by a wave of premonition. She had an unexplicable sense of doom in her heart...she then grinned. "Rose, girl, you’re goin’ mad...must be your father’s influence." Shaking off the premonition, she opened the door, and had taken one step inside when she froze, remembering the pirate that had been in her cabin before. But he was gone...she’d seen her father throw him overboard. "Just relax," she said aloud, sternly. "You’re sleepy, and it’s makin’ you see things that ain’t there." With a sigh, she threw herself onto her bed, and was asleep almost instantly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Hawk~ Jack’s crew (actually a stow away at the moment.) *Looks around the shadowed hold and warily watches the hatch as she heards the thud of booted feet move overhead, knowing that she wouldn’t be much of a fight at the moment. Groaning slightly she pulls herself behind a stack of barrells containing what smelled like gunpowder. She puts her head against the wall and closes her eyes trying to remain as still as possable and keep even quieter.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Jacks Crew Woman The Captain seemed quite busy, so Saber went her merry way and, started to go below deck. Then she had a thought "why go below deck, you just got on a ship for the first time in over 2 years!" Saber looked around and saw no one was looking, so she made a dash for the rigging. Climbing up like a monkey she settled her self in the ropes. "Ah this is more like it, I dont have to worry about the navy finding out I am pirate, and I dont have to worry about skirts." She made a face and kicked out her legs. "Freedom at last" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Norrington reached the Interceptor, the pride of the Port Royale navy, since the old one was destroyed on the high seas by the same pirates they would be chasing today....aye girl, we’re goin to avenge your mother alright....seeing Lettleby expertly load the troops onto the Interceptor, Patrick remembered why exactly he had made that man Fort Captain. He had one of those commanding presences...not unlike his own....
He then turned to the helm of the Interceptor and yelled out to below deck....Hurry up with those cannons, Captain Black will need them well before dawn to prep!!!,....and Lettleby, give the men the info on what exactly we will be doing, I’ll be in the captains quarters if you need me! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Lettleby~ Port Royale Fort Captain David looked at the Commodore. "As you wish, Commodore. All right, boys, listen up! I’m to tell you exactly what we’ll be doing, and why we are leaving promptly at dawn. Gather troops! Now!" David waited until all could hear him, then began explaining. "All right; we are to prepare to battle the same fellows that came here today. They have the Governor and Miss Elizabeth Swan-Turner as captives. It is also known that Abigail Thatcher is on-board." A few of the fellows smiled, for they knew about David’s affection for the maid. David pressed on, wanting to finish his monologue so they could get going. "These fellows are dead; you must remember that when battling them. You can stun them but that’s about it. You will need all your wits to defeat them, and more brains so that you don’t die." He paused, letting it sink in that some of them might not come back. "Some of you may die, but it is a sacrifice that you must make for the protection of Miss Swan-Turner and our Governor. All right, that is it. You’re dismissed." All of them went to their bunks on the Interceptor and got what little sleep they could. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``

Abigail Thatcher--Elizabeth Swann-Turner’s maid
Abigail could not have been more surprised by pirate Paul’s question. She expected him to ask about Governor Swann or Miss Elizabeth or even the Commodore. She never imagined that he was acquainted with Mr. David Lettleby. Paul’s question only generated more questions in her mind. What should she say, she thought to herself. The question wasn’t a difficult one. Paul had asked "My firs’ question is about a fella from Port Royale; d’ye know a man by the name o’ David Lettleby?" Abigail looked directly at Paul, something she found difficult to do for she was quite intimidated by him. She nodded her head silently in response to his question. She found it difficult to continue but her curiousity got the better of her. "Sir, if you pardon my asking....why did you ask me this question? Surely you are not acquainted with Mr. Lettleby?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul accepted her nod, then frowned with her question. "I do happ’n ter be acquainted with the fella; an’ I’m not tellin’ ye how, either. Now, I got one more fer ye right now. How well do ye know the fella?" Paul waited, hoping that his brother had the class and the respect to have a good, if not well, relationship with such a woman as this. When they were younger, they had the same taste in women, and he hoped that had continued. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Mason Dupont ~ Jack’s Crew *Mason walks to where Nic stands and says* I know what your wondering and I wish I could answer but I myself am still not sure about all of it *he puts his hand on her shoulder and says* I’m gonna go ask the captain, I’ll come tell you if I found out anything *he then walks over to the captain and asks* Captain I had some questions for you, do you know why the curse is in effect again? and do you know what Barbossa wants? Snort-Crew of the damned ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman-Jack’s crew The lass was back in and fell upon the bed. Snort moved out of the shadows. Time to get up missy! He picked her up waking her instantly----OOC: If you read me last posts in the previous thread, you’ll understand how I got back in and this will keep the plot runnng and the same it needs to be----What do you want? Only a small chat. Snort drew his pistol and pointed at her, scream and you’ll be dead before your over. What is it you want with me? All will be revealed in time but first. If you go and tell yer "father" I’m here, I’ll kill im and thee ole crew so fast, it’ll turn yer skin to bones. He said this and went in front of the window revealing his true self. And you see, I can do it. He drew his dagger and stabbed himself in the heart. You see, ye will loose your loved ones if you say anythin. Now go to sleep and all will be fine... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He’d been thinking hard on deck, listening to his crew and gave them a bit of reassurance that they’d recover for the night and sail in the early morning. With a nod to Norrington he began pacing the decks again, thanking Tobbs for the rum and took a deep drink from the bottle. He welcomed the new help aboard the ship, including the one that had jumped aboard in the middle of the night.:
:The feeling of forboding did not leave however and it did not slacken when he walked across the deck and found a trail of blood and water leading downstiar.s He was silent and looked around. None of his own crew were injured this severly. Pistol in hand he followed the trail, and slammed the door open, coming in on Hawk:
"Who are you?" He asked, his gun drawn and aimed: But at that moment, he simply stopped. Rose’s voice could be heard, fainty but he coud just make it out. Unless the young lass was talking in her sleep there was someone else aboard he did not know of, and on a night like this....it was no time to be taking chances.:
:He crept slowly to her cabin and listened. Someone was there....it wasn’t a member of his crew. He wasnt aboutto open the door just yet either, he had a feeling Rose would be in more trouble if he did. So he waited, thinking: He’d have to be fast. Very fast. If Rose was in his line of fire she’d be hurt. Or worse. Surprise was his best shot. He kicked open the door, with a shout of: "ROSE GET DOWN!" And fired.:
:The pirate looked up, a bit shocked, but once more angry and Jack blinked, but steped in front of Rose, who was crouched down: "I thought I kicked you off me ship eariler.....why are you still here, mate? Barobssa’s left you in bad position...sailing off and leaving you...." He drew his sword slowly.: "Whats your business on the Black Pearl?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose woke almost instantly, terrified as the pirate threatened her, and even more so when he showed her that he couldn’t die. Biting her lip, she looked down and muttered, "I am the world’s worst pirate." Then she heard Jack’s yell; without question, she flung herself to the ground, hearing the bullet whizz over her head. She got to her feet behind her father, hoping he wouldn’t get hurt protecting her. "Think I’m entitled to know that as well, mate, as well as what you want from me..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack looked on at the pirate, knowing damn well he couldn’t kill him. And clearly this one wouldn’t stay off his ship. Perhaps he liked the singing?:
"Listen, mate.....you’ve put us in a bad situation here....see this here is me ship....and thought I made it clear we didn’t take none of Barbossa’s crew aboard...but you don’t seem be savvy with that......do you?" He inched back a little, moving Rose towards the door:
"Now we can do two things here mate....and try o follow me...We can have a fight here......the two of us.....and fight it out til trumpets sound..and I assure you I do’t tire easily.....Or you can jump off this ship and swim back to your Captain.....either way...." His back was nearly to the door now, and his nudged Rose out of the room: "I’m goning to let you sit here and think about it!" Leaping back, he slammed the door shut, just as the pirate realized what was happening. With a yelp Jack looked around for something heavy to bar the door:
"That plank...." He said, pointing at it. Together him and Rose managed to bar up the door, as the pirate yelled curses at them through the door.: "Yer not hurt are you?" Jack asked suddenly, his back pressed againest the door.: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose, holding the door with all the strength she could manage, shook her head. "Wonder what he wants me for, though." She bit her lip, slightly disconcerted by the pirate’s double attempt to attack her. A thought suddenly hit her. "He knows I’m your daughter...somethin’ to do with Barbossa’s grand plan, maybe?" She shook her head. "Whate’er it is, I don’t like bein’ in the middle of it." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He looked at Rose, concerned: "He knows yer my daughter does he?" Jack winced at the door pounded into his back, and the pirate’s cursing, shouting and kicking was getting louder:
"Well.this door won’t hold him back to long....." He looked around, trying to think of a way to get this pirate off his ship. "and he won’t get you....." Back againest the door still, he reached out with his leg and pulled a wooden chair his way, jamming it againest the knob of the door. Still he staed backed againest it.:
’I swear on pain of death Barbossa won’t get you, savvy?" He said with a smile. "Barbossa will never get the better of any Sparrow...." Aundiul-Jack’s crew. Aundiul heard sceaming and yelling and ran towards the noise. Her eyes looked over the scene. She saw Jack and Rose leaning against against a door with the plank across. "Cap’n?...What...?" She asks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sasha AKA Sara Turner *Sasha heard all the yelling stood up from where she had been thinking about her brother. She rushed down to the cabins and sway Jack and Rose leaning up against the door talking.* Cap’n, What the bloody hell’s goin on??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose smiled at Jack and nodded. She was beginning to appreciate the note of concern always in her father’s voice when he spoke to her, and it made her feel a lot better that there was someone who still cared about what happened to her...despite the fact that she’d only known him for a day. She grimaced inwardly at the way she’d treated Jack before...then again, she still wasn’t entirely sure he hadn’t deserved it. One day, she thought grimly, wincing as the cursed pirate hit the door harder still, one day I’ll get the whole truth out of him. And once I hear his side of the story, I can forgive him and finally rest. Mom would be happy to know I can do that. A small smile of contentment on her face, Rose held the door with renewed energy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack looked up at Sasha and Aundiul, as they came in, and gave them a classical "Sparrow" grin, which gave him the apperance of being plesantly drunk and carefree:
"Barbossa left us a crew man behind..." The door shook as the pirate behind it pounded and cursed louder then before. "We’re going to have to find a way to get him off.." He was cut short as a fist slammed through the wooden planks, and grabbed Jack around the neck. Sputtering and cursing Jack tore himself loose and grabbed Rose, heading for the deck:
"Tobbs! Sasha!" He shouted: "Get Norrington! We can lock him in the Fort!" He gave Rose his pistol. "Shoot him if he gets near you.." He said, and drew his sword. "Run to find Norrington or Will if all else fails...savvy?" He turned to his crew, which were gradually becoming aware that something was going on. "We got a stow away curtesy of Barbossa!" Jack called: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Aundiul ran off with Tobbs and Sasha to help them. They soon found Norrington and told him what was going on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose finds herself tearing to the deck with Jack; slightly numb at how fast things are moving, she listens and nods to her father. "But...it won’t do anything, will it? I mean, he can’t die..." Still, she takes the pistol; better to be armed than weaponless, even if the weapon wouldn’t be effective. For precautions, she flicks her left arm downward, dislodging the dagger strapped to her arm. She miscalculates, however, and the dagger pricks the tip of her finger. "Ow!" she hisses, putting it to her mouth to ease the sting. As she takes it out and wipes it on her shirtsleeve, she mutters audibly, "I am the world’s worst pirate." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Sasha nodded to her cap’n and ran to the head of the ship. She found Norrington barking out orders.* "Yo ho, Norrington, we be needin ye help on the ship. It seems that Barbossa left us a crew men and we need a place to stow him out side of our ship. If’in Ye knows what i means." *With that she turned around leading Norrington back to the ship.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Jack Sparrow.
:Jack only nodded at Rose, and laughed very softly at her comment, thinking of how many times he’d heard that. But he didn’t voice his opinion out loud. Instead he took her hand and kept her as close as possible to his side. Soon cursing and the splitnering of wood could be heard from below the deck, and Jack looked around, muttering;
"Everyone’s always blastin’ holes in me ship!" Annoyed he looked at his crew., who were now arming themselves. true their was only one pirate on the ship...but that was enough to give them all a hard time: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Jacks Crew Woman Hearing the yelling, Saber turned from her sitting place in the rigging so she was facing the deck. When she heard of the stowaway, and people burst from below deck she yelped and fell overboard. Which was most deffinitly the most undignifide thing a pirate can do. Quickly she got back on board, and suppressed any snickering with a glare. then she ran to Jack "Capt’in what do ya want me ta do, you say the word an I’ll do it." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow
:Jack looked at Saber, giving her a curious look, wondering why on earth she was dripping wet but nodded, and said simply: "Protect the Black Pearl and Rose." His voice was grim. But he wasn’t going to lose his ship to any of Barbossa’s crew. Nor was he about to lose his daughter. Yes. He’d come to terms with the idea that he had a daughter. And when he thought about it he shouldn’t have been surprised. He looked at all of his crew:
"Whatever happens.....don’t let them take the Pearl.....or Rose." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aundiul drew her sword and walked over to Saber. She said "Here let’s fight together! Like we used to!" She tells her and together they wait for the bloody skeleton to show himself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Jacks Crew Woman "Me name ain’t Saber for nuth’in Capt’in." Came the girl’s curt reply "noth’in will happen ta Rose, I give ya me word." Saber swiftly went to where Rose was standing. She looked at the girl who was fumbuling with a pistol and had a pricked finger. "hey missy do ya know how ta use that thing." She said nodding to the pistol "because ya may need it" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hawk *Recovers from the shock of being found and then not killed. She lets herself slowly relax abit until she hears the splintering of wood from a cabin somewhere above her. She reaches up and grabs a large nail sticking out of the wall and painfully pulls herself up. Clutching her leg she staggers out of the hold leaning on the wall for support. She stops at the half open door and drawing her sword looks out at the scene beyond, unsure wether to help the crew or not.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He nodded at Saber, grateful for her help. Then his eyes settled on Hawk or a single moment. He raised a eyebrow, almost having forgotten about her and called to her:
"If you be wantin to stay alive, and yer injured, I suggest you stay below,savvy?" He said, and turned back to the problem at hand.: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hawk~ Jack’s crew woman *Shakes her head and pushes the door open and takes a step out into the light.* You were kind enough to spare my life, I am not as worthless in a fight as I may appear. *Draws herself up to her full height and levels her silver eyes on him.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
;he gave he new comer and steady glance, and he nodded: "we have a accord...." He said slowly, as yet another crash issused from below, he winced, knowing his ship was goingto be worse for wear ina short time. he called down:
"Mate! Stop punchin’ holes in me ship!" He bellowed at the top of his lungs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Hawk~ Jack’s crew woman Nods in aceptance and takes a step closer to the captain she lowers her sword and looks down to where the crashes are coming from. "Ya sure there’s no way to stop that thing? I saw what they really are, but there must be some way to slow them down..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew *Nic shrugs and assumes the rest of the crew must be thinking the same thing.* I doubt Cap’n’ll know, but you can try. *She then hears shouting from somewhere on board and turns around, trying to find out where its coming from. She also walks over to Jack.* What’s going on? *Someone tells her one of Barbossa’s men has gotten on board and everything that happened and she begins to worry again. Now what are they going to do? What is it that Barbossa wants? The question was burning in her mind more than anything now.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Saber~Jacks Crew Woman Still recovering from the surprise that the Black Pearl had two stow aways, Saber looked at the new comer. She looked as if she was wounded, but ready to fight. "Hmm i wonder whats shes do’in here?" she mumbled to herself. Hearing more crashes from below, Saber’s blood began to boil. She wanted to get down there and fight, but had promised to help and watch Rose. She also realized that if the Pirate got free she would have hands full defending Jacks daughter, altho she had seen for herself that the newly aclaimed pirate (Rose) could fight for herself. Drawing her saber and one of her pistols The young pirate set herself in a fighting stance, she would keep her promise to Jack. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He actually laughed. : "I tried a bullet in the heart for the Captain.and it seems as if that doesn’t help matters much....only makes them more bothersome...springing up when you least expect them and such..." He gave Hawk and amused look then added: "The only way to make them mortal again is removing their curse...."
:He winced as he heard the pirate howl: "and we ain’t nowhere near where we need to be...savvy?’ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So here be the day of TopSword Tobb’s death, eh men? She can go off and stay with the other scalliwag! You bloody twit! Like you could kill me? Son’t talk to the Cap’n like that miss! Ye think ye can betray ’im and get away with it? How’d do ya think the other was dealt with? Aye, and may god rest his soul, twas a good man he was, and he stood for the truth! He didn’t follow a traitor, and nor will I!
Tobbs woke with a start as she heard a scream. She lost her balance and fell into the water, the chill of it all around her. She tried to swim up, but twas difficult with her injured arm that had now re opened and the current. She finally made it, dripping wet with a blood soaked arm. She cursed under her breath at the thought of falling asleep while the Pearl needed her help, and as she started to walk slowly aboard to hear what the hullabaloo was about, Aundiul wizzed passed her, luckily grabbbing her good arm and explaining they needed to find Norrington. She sighed, hoping this confrontation would be better. When he was notified, she raced back to the ship, wondering what in bloody hell was the matter with everyone. She hobbled up the deck and almost collapsed before the Cap’n, pale and weary. She wrapped her arm up to try stopping the bleeding, then straightened and saluted the Cap’n.
Cap’n, I’m here to help, I think ye wil tell me to help defend eh? She drew out her sword. Well then, aye aye! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Abigail Thatcher - Elizabeth Swann-Turner’s maid
Abigail was puzzled. Why was this ruffian interested in a Port Royal officer, she wondered. She looked Paul squarely in the eye. At this close range, he looked even more like David’s double. "My eyes be playin’ tricks on me" she thought to herself. She cleared her throat, a nervous habit that popped up whenever she was anxious. "Well..I only have a passing familiarity with Mr. David Lettleby. I am but a lady’s maid and not one to travel in high society with the likes of Mr. Lettleby." This was not quite the truth but she did not want to confess her relationship to a man without any scrupals. Feeling a bit bold, she decided to ask her question again. "May I once again inquire why you are asking me about Mr. Lettleby?....Did you once work for his family?"

Sarah Fleming- The Black Pearl *Sarah heard some yelling going on on deck and let herself outside for the second time that night. Suddenly she heard curses coming from upstairs and a lot of banging.* Best find Will, or Jack. *She ran across the deck to a little huddle of pirates.* Jack, Will?! What’s the yelling for? I can’t sleep, is there anything I can do? Why Jack, Rose you two look like something awfuls happened! Now someone do tell me what’s happening, what are we going to do, and where’s Will!? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs nodded her head and began to stagger away, hinting that the Cap’n was thinking of something, of what she did not know. She saw out of the corner of her eye him nodding to those in the way of the stairs that led to the cabins. She dismissed this, but suddenly felt arms around her waist, dragging her towards the wooden stairs, and suddenly knew what was being done. But I can defend! I’m not weak! I won’t go down there and be locked up! Arrggg!!! But apparently the person who kept dragging her didn’t hear, and she tried to twist around to see who it was, but between trying to get away and make sure she didn’t hurt her arm, she couldn’t do it, much less struggle or stay conscious. She gave one last push, then collapsed into their arms, now unconscious.
Tobbs slowly opened her eyes, looking around at where she was. She saw she was indeed in a cabin, and felt her hair had been taken out, her bandana was off, and her wound was dressed and cleaned. She sat up and peered out the window, and, realizing it was near dawn, she quickly stood up and was about to leave when she realized her old, worn, bloody blouse had been taken off, and she wore her undershirt in which she usually slept in when she had the time to sleep. Upon a chair was a new, clean blouse, brown trousers/pants, and a new red bandana. She grinned and shook her head, then dressed and put her hair in a pony, and took a small group of her sable hair and put three beads at the bottom of ’em. She then walked out and went up to the deck, then stretched her arms. She sighed, wondering what had happened as she slept, and went to find the Cap’n to ask... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack had ushered his crew back a fair ways the stern of the ship, sitting Rose in the middle of the lot of them. He figured she was safest there. When Tobbs came on deck though, he wrapped a arm around her:
"You’ve done enough now....no fighting for you now...’ He said, and half carried her to the others. "Nothing for you to worry about...." He added. "Barbossa left us a stow away is all. Sarah Fleming was another he had to worry about.:
"You...I want you to stay out of harm’s way....I have a feeling Miss Elizabeth will be after my blood if anything happens to you...." He turned to his crew.
"This pirate is mine...." He deposited Tobbs near the others. "I’ll handle this.....just keep the pearl and Rose safe...." He moved forward, sword in hand. "I need to have a talk with this one anyway......" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sarah Fleming-The Black Pearl *Sarah edged closer to the group as Jack walked towards Tobbs. She was nearly a foot from Rose when she whispered.* What will Jack do to the pirate? He won’t...kill her will he? I know I’m not a pirate, but I must save Elizabeth, her and Will are dear friends of mine, I...I must save her. Even if it is for my life, she does have a baby on the way, I...I must save the both of them. *A tear falls down her cheek.* Please, let me help you. I could be like an apprentice pirate, maybe I’ll even enjoy myself! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs smiled thankfully as Jack basically carried her across the deck to the others, and listened intently on all he said. She was about to protest, as usual, about her not fighting, but she saw the concern in his eyes and held her tongue, realizing that maybe someone could care for her and be concerned about her. When she heard of the stowaway, she wished she could cut his bloody head from his body, but paused at the mention of a Sarah Fleming. And as he set her near the others, she nodded her head and smiled yet again, promising she’d protect the crew and Rose, as well as the ship. When she saw him draw his sword and speak of going to the cursed creature, she worriedly watched him leave, for she wished nothing ill for the Cap’n. She knew he could fend for himself, but still, she had something knawing at the edge of her soul. She kept her promise and leaned against the railing, making sure Rose was in sight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow
:Jack wandered below deck, where he heard the pirate cursing up a storm: "you know mate......you can’t just wander onto another Captain’s ship and go ’round knocking holes in it..."
:The pirate turned to him, growling, ready to kill. Still Jack didn’t move: "You’d be very foolish to try and kill me......if your captain couldn’t do it...doubt you’ll have much of a chance mate......." In Typical Sparrow humor he sat down in front of him. "In fact....I don’t even want to fight you...just want to talk to you...." He leaned back comfortably againest the wall.:
"So mat....how’d you all come back dead and alive again? Thought we rid you of that problem long ago...." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs wished she could pace around deck, and attempted to do so, but only ended up leaning against the deck where she was. She couldn’t stand this! Where was the Cap’n? What was taking him so long? She made sure Rose was where she was, in the center of the rest of the crew. She silently hummed to the ole pirate tune, wishing she could do something other than lean on something. She looked around and saw that Norrington’s soldiers and crew were getting ready to set sail. She hoped the whole truce thing would work, for if not, she wouldn’t be weak for long. She began to think about the Cap’n again, which again made her want to pace. She sighed and stared at where Jack had disappeared below deck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Snort-Crew of the Damned
Snort smiled. So ye think ye smart don’t ye? He drew his pistol and aimed at his head. Ye know ye can’t do anythin to me so I suggest ye stay and listen. Ye don’t have buisness between me and yer lass. I have what I cam fer. Only made thins better. Now turn around. Jack does so. Tata papa. Snort fires at his feet making Jack hesitate and fall. When he gets up the pirate is gone and a splash is heard. Fool he says to himself and walks back out... ...Snort like before grabbed on to the boarding and quickly through down hi pistol into the water. That should keep im satisfied. Snort now had to just ride the Pearl untill it caught the Sun and there he could give the captain the information and immortality would be theirs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul was a little tense at the lass’s inquiry yet again of his connection with David, but he wasn’t sure if he should tell anyone, especially Abigail. "Y’could say that," he said, answering her question of ’Did you once work for his family?’. "But I swear; I knew David like a brother, and he’d’ve up and asked ye te walk with ’im or summat like tha’. Ye sure ye ain’t more than jus’ friends wi’h David?" Paul knew she was hiding something, and he aimed to find out what it was. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs) Tobbs was now irritated. He shouldn’t be bloody gone for so long! She was about to find some rum when she heard a gun shot, and knew it not to be the Cap’n’s. Horror struck her as she heard the sound echo loudly. Forgetting of her weakness, her cut, about everything basically, she flew down the steps and to where the Cap’n was, just after she she heard a splash. She first thought him to be dead, for she saw him on the floor and heard a splash from the sea. She rushed to his side and was overjoyed as he stood, muttering something about fool. She gave a cry of joy at hearing him muttering, but stopped to make sure he wasn’t hurt or shot. When he gave her a curious glance, she blushed, then grinned, but soon returned to her worried face after a pause. Cap’n, what happened? Are ye alright? Are ye hurt? Twas that bloody cursed creature! I’ll put him in his grave one of these days, I vow it!
She suddenly had an ache which shook her body, and the pain came back to her. She curse under her breath, but tried to ignore it, watching Jack for his response of if he was hurt or not. She tried to see if he needed help or support, and rushed over to his side, offering a hand if he needed her help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Captain Barbossa *Barbossa paced the deck of the Dying Sun, every now and then checking the small black compass he always carried. It was more out of boredom than real need: he knew the route to Ilsa Muerta like the back of his hand. He sighed, and looked back at the room where he had left Elizabeth.* Women.... *He muttered under his breath. He looked out over the cold waters, hoping that Sparrow and Turner were falling for his trap..* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Will Turner *Will, who had been sitting in the cabin thinking about nothing other than his beloved Elizabeth, had suddenly seemed to snap out of his trans which he had been on most of the trip for he had hardly said a word or lifted a finger. It was the sounds of shouting that ripped him from his thoughts and dropped him back into the lap of reality. He jumped up from the small wooden stool and burst through the cabin doors, looking all about him. Confusion filled his face and he wrapped his fingers around his swords hilt, ready to defend himself and the Black Pearl and all those aboard her. He rushed over to Jack, who he figured would know best about what was going on upon the ship.* Jack, what’s happening? Is something wrong with the ship? *He asked then he blushed slightly.* Sorry about my day dreaming, I think I will be of some use now, Or I should hope so in the least. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ally Black-Port Royale Officer *Ally sat silently on the top deck of the Dauntless. Everything around her was quiet, and though she was tired, she could not sleep. She had run the crew ragged, and knowing that they must be exhausted, she sent them off to have a few hours of rest. Ally had taken off her jacket and was using it as a pillow, but not even the softest pillow would have helped her to sleep. There was just too much going on in her mind. She didn’t know whether it was nerves or excitement that kept her stomach jumping, but it was definitely something. She was worried that she would somehow let Commodore Norrington down, and that was just something she could not do. Ally hated worrying about her job. All the other girls in town worried about love and marriage. She wondered why she had never thought about those things. Was she really that caught up in her job? It sure seemed that way. But her job was all she had. She had no parents, no siblings, just a kind old aunt who could barely take care of herself. Ally shivered a little in the cool night and she wrapped her red jacket around her shoulders. She sighed and closed her eyes, hoping that exhaustion would take over her body and force her to sleep, but the hours just kept rolling on.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew As she was approached and practically surrounded by at least 5 other crewmembers, Rose began to suspect Jack had told them to protect her. She appreciated his concern...it’d been so long since she’d been shown any care...but still, she could take care of herself, and she didn’t want anyone, especially Jack, getting hurt in her name. She hears a shot from below deck, then a splash. Fear seizes her - she whispers "Dad", and tears for the direction of the shot, ignoring the protests of everyone assigned to protect her. Running down the stairs, she sees Jack on the ground and lets out a sigh of relief...at least it wasn’t he who’d gone overboard. She runs to the side of the ship, checking for who it had been...hopefully the pirate...but she sees nothing. When she turns back to her father, she sees Tobbs next to him, looking concerned. Rose’s eyes instantly go to Tobbs’s wound, and she shakes her head, approaching the older girl. "You shouldn’t be doing anything in such a state, Tobbs, mate," Rose says with a smile. "I know you’re worried about Dad, but let me take care of it...you really need rest." As Tobbs begins to protest, Rose cuts her off, trying to put it in terms she’ll understand. "If you don’t get your rest now, and we get into a fight later on, you won’t have the energy to be a part of it. Can;t defend the Pearl if you’re unconscious, mate..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Jacks Crew Woman Saber sighed her relife when the cursed pirate went overboard. She recognised that it was the same one, who earlier, had threatend her. She moved away from Rose and sheathing her sword climbed the rigging again. As she looked about, se thought she saw somthing hanging on the side of the ship. "Saber your eyes be playing tricks on ya" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shakes~Barbossas Crew Man The old pirate was still thinking and recovering from the shock that his daughter Saber was alive. After she had slipped the ship two years ago, the crew had been able to find no trace of her. So Shakes had settled on that she must have died. He saw his Captain pacing the deck, and then the Captian stopped and turned facing out to sea. "Capt’in sir, be ther anyth’in I can do for ye?" he looked at Barbossa and wondered if he should tell him his descovery. "Naw let it be for tonight, its not that important" He thought to himself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack stood up, and rushed himself off, acting as if nothing had happened, and he glanced up at Tobbs and his daughter.: "Seems he’s decided to leave of his own accord..." He looked at Will, and grinned: "S’alight mate......our stow away left..." Jack looked over his crew, and walked back onto the deck. Had night really gone and left so quickly now? His eyes when to Tobbs, and saw her injury, then said ina low voice. "Go take care of that Tobbs....." Then turning to Rose he added: "I want you in me plain sight at all times....savvy?":
:With a look about, he checked the horizon and saw it was indeed lightening up. But there was a faint chill in the balmy air. A tropical storm would be coming there way soon. He whistled loudly: "Make ready to sail......." He gestured towards the Dauntless and Norrington’s crew. "Seems they’ve gotten up a might eariler then we have....."
:Moving towards the Helm with a graceful swagger he turned to his crew: "This journey will be no fancy tea party.......we’re facing men that can not be killed...anyone wishing to stay behind in Port Royale.....may stay..." He looked over at the horizon. "and you won’t be counted as cowards for doing it neiher......" Taking out his compass...the one that never pointed North he checked it, then stared at the Sea a bit, not beliving he was doing this again. "All those willing to stay......We’ll sailing in one hour!" Norrington was writing in his memoirs when sudden shouts from outside alerted him to a problem. However, when the messenger did manage to get there, he informed the Commodore that the presence had suddenly disappeared off the boat. Norrington decided that he should probably go and see if Jack and Rose were okay, so striding off the boat, he told David he was in charge until the Commodore returned, and went on the Pearl
I’m sorry I couldn’t have gotten here sooner Captain, but word travels slowly, and ship walls are nearly soundproof. I gather the intruder is gone, but are you and yours alright, I can have Port surgeons here if there are any wounded? I can also send a search for your stowaway if you think one is warranted? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Maira- I need to talk to will ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He grinned at Norrington, then put his hands together in a sort of humble prayer and nodded his head: "please have someone look after me crew, savvy?"The tone in his voice was one that was truly grateful and sincere, very unlike Jack, who normally made light of every situation. Dark eyes, nearly black as the night itself searched the ship. It was true that he still had a chill in his heart from that encounter, as one always had dealing with the cursed men, but he sighed. He did not want to risk another encounter, espeically one that put more of his crew in danger:
"Search if you deem in nessesary, Commodore......" Jack said calmly. "But do it at your own risk to your own officers...." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Mahaeret- Jack s Crew She runs up to jack who is talking to the Commodar. She runs up begging for some attention, which she hacsen’t been getting in a few days now. " Jack Sparrow... First you raise me from a child then you expaect me to just be on my own. What amn I thinking You have a daughter here don’t you. Well anyways. I’ve been wanting to ask you... where there any other survivors except for me on that ship yo found me near?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Norrington senses the seriousness in Sparrow’s eyes, and sees that the sensible Jack is finally beginning to show his head. Aye Captain, I’ll dispatch some medics right away. As for the stowaway, if you’re not looking, I have no need to. So with that sir, I’ll be away, meet me on the shore at dawn with your first mate, I want to discuss some tactics with you!
Norrington turns from the Pearl yet again and heads back to the Interceptor, hoping but knowing that he will not get any sleep tonight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose, relieved to see that Jack’s all right, follows him to the dock, after shooting a worried glance at Tobbs. Hoping she’ll be alright, Rose turns to see Norrington come aboard. She executes a sweeping bow to him, then turns back to her father. "I think ’e’s gone...’eard the splash, but I didn’t see anything in the water...y’never know, may not hurt to ’ave someone look for ’im, just in case...much thanks at any rate, Commodore." She bows again, then asks of her father, "Anything I can do to ’elp the situation?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He looked at Maria, concerned and gave her a sad glance, not sure of why she was asking this: "No Maria...there were not any survivors....only uou as a child...." He turned back to the Sea a moment later. "Why do you be wantin’ to know now?" He asked curiously, walking slowly up the deck: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maharet She walks up to jack " Because. That Bracelett. Its Initials W.T. the same as mr. Will turners. You were sure tere were no others?" She gives him a glance ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saber~Jacks Crew Woman Saber whatched breathlessly as Norrington came aboard. Having been on shore for two years, the girl had seen and even talked to the Commodore. But that was when he had chided her for going to near the docks. She hoped He wouldnt see her and recognize her, even though they were all on a kind of truce on couldnt be too careful. When the Commodore had left Saber swung down from the rigging. She made her way below and lay on her bunk, soon she begn to sing in a clear saprano voice "Yo, ho yo ho a pirates life for me." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Giving Norrington a nod he remained silent a moment thinking. It was one thing to put himself in danger, in harm’s plain reach, but another when it concerned his crew that had seen him through so much. He closed his eyes, knowing perfectly well, any fool looking at him while he was thinking would see that in his eyes.:
:He opened his eyes towards the glowing pink sunrise and answered Maria, calmly, thinking it best that she didn’t know right now: "No...there was nobody else but you......"
:Taking his eyes from Maria he looked at Tobbs, and his crew: "Anyone who is wounded...see Commodore Norrington’s docters.........no need to go sailin’ off looking worse then Barbossa’s crew..." :He turned to Rose lastly and shook his head: "Right now...you’re coming with me....You get to steer the Pearl...." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maharet " Oh" She went down to the bunks to join Saber. She had no knew answers and didn’t hear what she wanted ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose stares at her father for a few seconds. "I...I do?" she asks breathlessly. At a nod from him, a delighted look crosses her face. Ever since she first heard of the Pearl, she’s dreamed of being aboard it...when she first saw it, her breath had been taken away, because it was everything she imagined it would be. Steering it would be an honor...a priviledge...she couldn’t wait. Grinning broadly, she went after her father. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
In a frustrated sigh, Tobbs listened as the others spoke of helping her, for she needed to help the Cap’n and the Pearl. Tis nothin wrong with me bloody arm! I’m just weak fr loss of blood...and rum. But Cap’n, I’ll be fine! Look, I can defend! She stepped away from the Cap’n and drew her sword, but feebly lost balance and barely collapsed, but was saved by the arms of those around her. She muttered under her breath, and looked up at Jack, searching his thoughts. So he did seem to care for her, and seeing that, she smiled to herself. But as she was helped off towards a cabin, she shook her head and wondered why she was so overjoyed. Tis a Cap’n concerned for his crew member, that’s all. But what if...? She shook her head and turned to smile back at Rose and Jack, and as she turned the corner, the halls echoed with a muffled voice then a door closing- Bloomin arm! I should be fightin with the others, not shut up in a cabin! Why, I’m TopSword To- But thats when her voice drifted off and the door closed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
;Walking to the helm he directed Rose tothe wheel and placed her hands on it: "We aren’t taking off yet....clearly...but when it’s time...you’ll be guiding us...until we hit ourselves storm...which we will..." He said, once more glaring up at the sky as if he were sure it had turned on them.:
"And when that storm hits do us both a favor and stay below, savvy? you may be part Sparrow, but Sparrows can sink just like any other person, savvy?"
:He took a few steps back from her and watched his crew, and Norrington’s ship prepare to sail. The mist over the Sea grew thinner, and golden, as the first rosy light of dawn sped over th horizon, turning the Sea itself pink and glittering golden. The air was clear now, with a hint of gunsmoke.....evidence from the night’s battles. and faintly very faintly the smell of coppery blood clung to the air, refusing to part:
:softly he began singing to himself: "yo ho yo ho..." as he paced the deck: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs was taken to one of the doctors and "patched up" as they had said, but as she heard of the soldiers discussing the Pearl leaving, she jumped up and bound past the doctors and those that would keep her there (for someone had told them she wouldnt stay without force) She raced down the docks and aboard the Pearl, pain gone, though her breathing was heavy. She went to the Cap’n, saluted, and smiled as he looked curiously at the doctor and those that were supposed to keep her there running and skidding to a halt right behind her. Cap’n Sparrow, I’m fine, fine, really! I can fight now, this bloody twit fixed me right up! Look, I can defend now! She did seem not to pale, and she could hold the sword with her uninjured arm. She swung at a board and "fenced" with it, then put it back in its sheath and grinned. Cap’n, I’m TopSword Tobbs, ya think a blazin scratch could keep me from sailin? Now she stood proud, but when one of her keepers ahemmmed, she looked pleadingly in his eyes. Cap’n Sparrow, please, I’m not that hurt! I can fight just as well as any man aboard! Tis the truth! I wish to tear those cursed apart, I vow it! Now, Cap’n, please? She once again searched his thoughts, begging him with her own eyes to let her stay. She could tell he was pondering, and a glint of hope burned in her eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose’s finger slowly closed around the wheel...she felt the wood beneath her fingers and her grin grew. It was wonderful to be at the helm of the infamous Black Pearl...heck, it was wonderful to be at the helm of a real ship at all. She’d studied navigation briefly, and understood how to steer; she was glad she’d finally gotten a chance to do so. Listening to Jack, Rose nodded. Frowning slightly, she was about to protest as he insisted she stay below when the storm started, but she nodded, not wanting to get herself into trouble and risk getting Jack hurt again. "Alright...but if you need anything, or if trouble comes ’bout, I’ll be here...savvy? I can’t seem to leave you to fend for yourself, you always get into trouble." She grins and turns back to the wheel, wondering how Tobbs is doing... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow
:He looked at Tobbs, concerned. But he nodded. She loved the Sea almost as much as he did, and the life of beign a pirate. He felt it in most of his crew. Most of them loved the Sea, the ship and their life to much to be left behind So he nodded:
"No worries mate...I supose if you can out run a handful of Norrington’s men just to be back here.....you’re stayin’ aboard this ship....." He laughed softly, and grinned.:
"The only ones stayin’ behind are those who will be wantin’ to be left behind...savvy?" He patted Tobb’s good shoulder. "but I would be feelin’ better if you rested...."He worded it as a suggestion but it was really a gentle order. One he expected her to follow. "Go below, and recover yourself.......we’ll be able to handle the Pearl while you’re resting, savvy?" Jack Sparrow.
:Turning to his crew he simply watched them, keeping a sharp eye on Rose. There were precious few things he held dear. One of them was his Ship. The other was the Freedom as a pirate. Third was his crew. And now Rose.:
:True he’d never been the type to be a father....or any sort of role model at all. Bt he did feel the need to protect, as he felt towards all his precious treasures. And he would defend her......with his life. As he’d promised her. He watched the sun rise. Glad for the night to be over. Well.....no time like the present to catch a nap in the crow’s nest. Climbing in a oddly controled yet chaotic crawl up the ropes, he sa himself down in the crow’s nest, tipped his hat over his eyes, and assumed a steady and comfortable stance. Before promptly falling asleep, calling down only once:
"Wake me when Norington is standing waiting on the docks!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Captain Barbossa *Barbossa turned to face Shakes, wondering why he was being bothered. He curled his lip a bit at the sight of the pirate’s fleshless face. Shouldn’t he be used to that by now?!* "Aye, go make yerself useful and see if ye can’t make a proper room fer our guests. An’ tell Paul ta bring the other two back up ’ere! We don’ want miss Elizabeth gettin’ angry again..." *He watched as the pirate shuffled off, and stroked his beard thoughfully. The weather was changing. Looked like a storm was coming in....*

Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew *Nic listens to Jack’s words. There was no way she was leaving the ship and staying in Port Royale. She wanted to fight theses bloody pirates and get rid of them once and for all. She was staying until they did, and perhaps even later. She was a member of Jack’s crew for years, she wasn’t leaving now. Not when he let her join his crew six years ago, when she left France.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hawk~ Jacks crew woman Wraps her arm around the rigging near her head in a valient effort to stay upright, she leans againts the railing and closes her eyes letting the sharp sea breeze blow her hair off her face and for the first time revealing the scars that mar her face. Though thankfull that she is still alive she will be far happier when Port Royal begins to shrink further into the distance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jacky, Jack’s Crew Jacky was standing on the deck and listening to their Cap’n. She was very tired after this long night, and when the first rays of the sun showed up onto horizon, Jacky was glad, that the night was over. She thought ’bout Captn’s words, but didn’t say anything cause knew that probably all the crew will stay on the Ship and will fight untill death for their Cap’n...She looked around and read the same thoughts in Nic’s eyes... Aundiul is probably the only one that didn’t feel tired. She could go one week without sleep but then she’d need it on the 8th day. She started pacing the ship thinking about last night’s events. Why was a ruddy skeleton-pirate on board trying to kidnap Rose? She walked over to Jacky. "Jacky what’s been going on here? I mean with Barbossa." She asks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul grimly, but directly, obeyed Barbossa’s orders, and took Abigail and Governor Swan to the deck. He was a pirate; not some ruddy bloomin’ naval officer anymore. He had to remember that. As he took them up, he whispered to Abigail, "Start cryin’ or they’ll think I wasn’t doin’ me job." He roughly shoved them up the stairs, hoping she would do her bit to help keep both of them alive. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Lettleby~ Port Royale Fort Captain David couldn’t sleep either. He saw Ally up on the ship, looking at the sky, and decided not to bother her. He also knew that Commodore Norrington was awake, simply because they were aiding the Black Pearl, and Norrington didn’t want to lose sight of her or have them catch him off-guard. David made sure all his troops were resting, and he finally, wearily, sat down to rest his eyes, and instantly fell asleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs gave a cry of joy and threw her arms around the Cap’n, hugging him happily, and as she stood there for a few seconds, she suddenly felt a small sense of shock, for she hadn’t hugged anyone in so many years. She withdrew her arms and looked down, smiling and blushing at the same time, and realized that when the Cap’n was around, he seemed to make the painful memories of the past disappear, and a sense of joy for the present occured. She turned and sent a mocking glance to Norrington’s men as they tried to figure how to get back to the port, and then she turned back to Jack, watching his eyes as he spoke. She wanted to stay a deck and help, but something in his gentle words made her smile, salute, and head for one of the cabins to rest. The cabin she entered was a pretty one indeed. It had a maroon border, a smooth wooden floor, a small table and three chairs to her right with a vase and oleanders in it, a closet and chest to her left, and near a window that overlooked the sea, a bed lay with maroon covers too. When she got to one of the cabins, thoughts were whirling in her head. She wanted to stop and ponder about the memories, about the present, and, about Jack, but she was indeed tiread, so instead of thinking while she changed for sleep, she took out her hair, setting her weapons on the table, and curled upon the bed, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she drifted off to sleep, the lullaby being the soft rocking of the ship, and the wind’s tuneful song. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Maria Maharet- Jack’s Crew Maria Walked up onto the deck and saw only few of the crew. So she screamed loud and clear for everyone to hear. " It has come to my attention. That I haven’t met you all and’aven’t had much time to talk with you so. If its all right wit’ the Cap’n. I would like this time for every one to share thier history.. yes including mr. Norringtons crew" She glances at norrington and her crew and gave them a smirk, but then sudden change of smile to sorrow. " but if its ok I willl go last" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ok" Aundiul says clearing her throat, "I will go first. I grew up hearing about Captain Jack Sparrow. And one day when I was 11 my parents were killed by Barbossa so I’ve always hated Barbossa. From that day I’ve set meself to sailing after Captain Jack Sparrow to become part of his crew. And now after 5 years of searching I’ve found him. Nothing real exciting I know but oh well. Oh and Saber and me ’ve been friends ever since i can remember." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Jacks Crew Woman Saber awoke to somone an deck screaming like a girl. She turned over and promptly fell off the bunk. "First I fall overboard and then I fall off me bunk! I must have forgotten ’ow to live on a ship!" She picked her self up and ran up on deck. "Wot the blazes be goin on up here?" she asked. After hearing from Aunduil her past Saber figured what was going on. "Well I supose I can tell you about me." she said to Maria "My first memories are, at the age of six I believe, climb’in the rigg’in of this here ship. I have no recolection of ’ow I came to be on this earth, never knew me mother." here she sighed. "But my father was a sailor aboard this ship. Living like a true pirate, I soon became an able crew man...um woman. But when Captian Jack there." here she nodded towards him. "Was marooned, I left ship. Never in all me born days would I ever go against the captain. Now for the past two years I’ve lived like a landlubber, and I can tell ya it be hard avoiding Norringtons men." Then she looked at Aunduil "Mate I’ve plum forgotten how we met, when where and why." Here she laughed "Must have been that time I spent on land."

Will Turner *Will, upon seeing that everything seemed to be fine with Jack and the crew went up to Tobbs but it was quite clear she was getting all the help she needed so he let her be and went to find Maria. He had just gotten word that she needed him for something, what the something was he did not know. As he started to approach her he heard her mention something about a braclett with what appeared to be his initials on it. He was slightly confused and didn’t remember any braclet. He was about to speak with her when she made a sudden announcement. Her sudden shout startled him for a moment and he listened.* I think I shall go near the end as well, seeing as to how im quite positive everyone knows mine. *He grinned then walked up to Maria.* Maria, you wanted to speak with me? Or so I have heard. Is this still your wish? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Thatcher - Elizabeth Swann-Turner’s maid
Abigail wondered how a pirate like Paul could have been in the service of David Lettleby’s family. It didn’t seem likely that a respectable family like the Lettlebys would be associated with the likes of Paul yet there was a note of truth in his voice as he spoke about David Lettleby. She felt Paul was being honest with her when he replied that he knew David like a brother. She heard him again asking her if she knew David well. "I don’t know him that well...Mr. David Lettleby is an acquaintence of my employer, Miss Elizabeth. That’s all." Just when she was beginning to think Paul wasn’t as bad as he appeared, he grabbed her arm, started pulling her to the deck. Governor Swann was not too far behind. She kicked and struggled. It was in vain. He had a good grip on her arm. "Start crying or they’ll think I’m not doin me job." Paul whispered to her. It wasn’t hard for her to cry. She was in low spirits anyway. Abigail eyes teared as she thought to Mr. David Lettleby. She would now be forced to walk the gangplank and she would never see him again. The tears gushed down her face making it difficult to see anything. She sobbed and sniffled loudly not caring that she was making a mess of herself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hawk~Jack’s crewwoman *Looks around then says softly.* I was born on her fathers ship. My mother died in childbirth so I was raised by my father and his crew as a pirate. After my father was murdered I inherited the ship, It was called The Morning Star. Unforchuntely after several close calls with the English Navy my crew decided that it was unlucky to follow a woman captain. I was left in Port Royal to hang, but thanks to the pirates who attacked I managed to escape. Got shot in the leg running down to the pier, and eventually swam out to this ship. I climbed up the forsaken anchor line and hid in the hold, where your Captain found me. So there you have it, my lifes history. *mock bows and says bitterly.* Call me a crew member or not, I’m stuck in the middle of this now, so take a good look at me mates, Captain Fallon Seahawk at you humble service. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic hears the request for her life story. There is bloody no way I am telling them the truth, she thinks. She turns to Maria.* My names Nic. That’s all you need to know. *She shrugs and leans on the side of the boat, crossing her arms.* ~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose, standing near the wheel of the Pearl, smiles slightly as everyone goes around the circle, telling their stories. She figures now’s as good a time as any to tell them what happened, so she clears her throat slightly. As everyone turns their attention to her, she leans back on the railing and speaks softly, gazing into the horizon. "I was born in Tortuga..me mother’s name was Katarina Glassman. My father, ’s you all know, is Cap’n Sparrow. I...don’t know why, but he left Mother before I was born...she was ’eartbroken. I...grew up on stories about ’im an’ the Black Pearl...I ’alf-idolized him for being such a famous pirate, and ’alf-hated him for leavin’ Mother." A faint smile plays on Rose’s lips. "Ever since I c’n remember...I always wanted t’ be a pirate. I hated polite society...hated rules...hated order. Wanted to find me father and join ’im..." She laughs softly. "Mother didn’t really like that idea. She was poor...didn’t ’ave much to s’pport herself, let ’lone me. But she did s’pport me...she always put me first. Even when she got sick...’twas always me she took care of first." Rose’s voice threatens to break as she mentions her mother’s illness, but she continues. "She...she died almost a year ago. That;’s when I left ’ome. I wanted to find Dad, give ’im a piece of my mind, and join ’im." She turns back to the crew, the smile on her face again. "Y’know the rest. Three days after stealin’ a leaky ship from Port Royale, I found the Black Pearl, found Dad...and decided ’e wasn’t so bad after all. Now I’m part of a crew with all of you, mates...and for the first time in me life...I’m ’appy." A note of true warmth creeps into Rose’s voice, and her face lights up. Unused to showing this much emotion, she quickly stiffened and turned back to the wheel, gazing into the horizon again. But the faint smile lingered on her face. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jacky, Jack’s Crew Jacky heard the question ’bout their lives and walked closer to Maria and other members of the crew. When Nic finished, Jacky said: I’m Jacky...As far as I remember myself I was a pirate and Jack Sparrow was my captian. I grew on his ship...Once he said that his crew saw me in the ocean in a small boat (everything that left from the shipwreck). They picked me on the board and since that day I always was in Cpt’n Jack’s Crew... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:The Sea had lulled him into a state of semi sleep...but he was alert. Listening to the crying of the gulls, and the dull roar of the waves. Jack could hear his crew faintly from the crow’s nest, and he kept his eyes closed, just staring out to Sea. He hadn’t said anything when Rose mentioned Katrina dying, but he did feel ill from it. In all truth...he had loved Katrina......as much as a young foolish boy could. He’d loved her but he’d loved the Sea more. And Katrina hadn’t been willing to join him in open waters. She wanted a home, a family.....and he’d been to wild for that.:
:With a yawn, he stood in a single fluid motion, and called down to his crew: "If yer done swapping stories....and all of you are stayin’....we’re shovin’ off soon!" He grabbed a rope, and swung down effortlessly to the deck, and landed with a dull thump. He turned to Rose, and waved her over:
"I’m going ashore to talk to Commodore Norrington soon....you’re coming with me, savvy?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maharet-jacks crew She Excused herself from the circle of crew telling their stories and went tup to Will She had a face of sorrow and asked quietly to not diturb the othre and spoke to will " Will . Do you know anything of a bracelett or better gold. does that ring a bell?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mason Dupont ~ Jack’s Crew *Mason hears the request for their hitory and turns his to look at the sea saying* I only ever told one person, and I only told her cause I trust her *he quickly looks over at Nic and smiles then turns back to the sea and stares out at it* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hawk~ Jack’s crew woman *Having told her story and still not been shot she begins to look around the ship but still keeps an eye on those close around her. She looks down at the wounded leg and loosens the bandage so as not to totaly cut off circulation. Then, gingerly unwinds her arm from around the rigging that had been suppporting her she sinks down to the deck and drawing her knees up to her chin and wrapping her cloak about her attempts to go to sleep but still keeps a hand on the hilt of her sword. These people hadn’t killed her, but she that didn’t make her trust them.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
;Jack walked up behind Hawk and tapped her shoulder, when she whirled around Jack held out his hand: "Captain Jack Sparrow......welcome aborad the Black Pearl...." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hawk~ Jack’s crew *Looks at him warily but sences no threat, she half grins and takes his hand shaking it.* Captain Fallon Seahawk. Thank you for letting me stay. *Her eyes convay the gratitude that her pain filled vioce lacks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maharet- jacks crew Turning slightly from Will she looks at Nic and Mason. " you both can trust me. there is nothing to hide. Besides who would ever listen to me" Her voice lowers and she turns back to will awaituing his reply ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He nodded at her then gestured to the cabins:
"Find yerself a bunk below....and make yourself as at home as you can. I want you to let one of the Commodore’s docters to have a look at you before we shove off, savvy?" And as always his voice was casual, but held a hint of a order in it. He expected it to be followed. He wasn’t about to sail with wounded pirates.: "we’re in for a unplesant trip...and if you don’t want further trouble...I suggest you stay in Port Royale...savvy?" He turned and began walking back up the deck, stopping Masn as he went:
"I want you to keep an eye on the wounded crew...savvy? and when I’m not at the helm...or Rose....you’re steering us...savvy?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roquen~Jacks crew
Roquen was sitting quietly in the circle of pirates who were all sharing their stories with their partners and such, not much happening at the moment but he didnt really care if there was or not. Roquen was of medium build, had both arms and legs he was happy to say, he had a sword and a gun, he didnt use his sword much but he had enough skills to go on. as for the gun it was his favorite weapon. he often would practice and shoot bottles, or sometimes throw a coin in the air and see if he could nail it, he was getting better at that
so overall normal pirate, good hand eye quardination and was not very intrested in anything unless it had to do with gold, his friends always wondered why he didnt end up with Barbossa but that was the way it was. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ End of Recovery and the Chase ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Start of The Red Dawn Rising ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He walked along the deck, still staring up at the sky. They were in for bad weather as well. A storm. Why wasn’t he surprised? More importantly why did storms always seem to pop up when he was in a bloody hurry?:
:He placed his hat on his head, and looked at his crew a while, just thinking and nothing more, waiting for Norrington to appear on the docks: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hawk~ Jack’s crewwoman *Nods to her new Cap’n and gritting her teeth together pulls herself up. She leans on the rail with her eyes closed for a minute then straightens up and with as much pride and dignity as she can muster limps across the deck to the cabins. As soon as she gets below out of the view of everyone she staggers into the wall breathing heavily agianst the pain, keeping her shoulder still against it searches for an empty bunk. She eventualy finds one and colapses on it. I can’t go back to Port Royal she thinks to herself there is a noose waiting for me.. no, no matter how much it pains me, I have to go with them. slips into an exhasted and pain filled sleep.* (continued from the last thread.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic looks back at Maria.* Look, I know I can bloody trust all of you. Perhaps there is something to hide, but I’m not going to run around telling everyone who I am, why I’m here, where I’m from. My buisness is my own, not anyone else’s. I’d appreciate it if ye’d keep yer nose out, mate. *She wasn’t going to tell the entire crew that she was bloody rich girl from France who stole a ship to get here. And was being searched forin Paris. She had no pirate blood in her. This was all something she had confided in Jack alone when she joined up with him six years ago when she came to the Caribbean.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Mason Dupont ~ Jack’s Crew *Mason smiles as Nic says this cause he knew what she was thinking about he then turned back to Maria and said* I know I can trust you but I have no reason to go around telling the whole crew my life story and I’m not about to do it *thinking to himself about how his life had been before he joined Jack, how he had been so poor and stolen a ship to run away from France, he only had two peopl he ever told and wanted it to stay that way* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack glanced at Nicolette and sort of grinned at her. Poor lass had must have gone mad in france with all that fancy pomp and ceremony and stole a ship to sail to Freedom:
:He walked past her and whistled gently; "you know mate.....sayin’ you’ve got yer own business only makes people try harder to find ou what it is.....savvy?" He patted her shoulder. "Don’t worry about it...was only a innocent question.....she means you no ill will....." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Aye, so you think ye to be invincible? Did I say that? Tell her Cap’n! Tell her what we did! Tell her what we’ll do! Aye, ya mangy twits, quiet now! Now, youung Tobbs, we’ll be havin yer gold back. Aye, ye can take it ye filthy scalliwag! But what can we do with ye now, young lass? Throw ye in the sea for the sharks? Tie ye up? Kill ye now? What be your wish?
Tobbs muttered under her breath, tossing and turning as she did so. Sleep never did come easy for her, twas a blessing when she could catch a wink without little disturbances from the past. Then, as it had been five hours since she laid down, a tiny ray of sunlight shined through the window and landed upon her cheek, as if the sun was waking her. She opened her eyes dreamily and laid there, looking out the window at the sunlight that now faded away behind dreary clouds. Twould be a storm...what luck. She sighed and sat up, stretching as she did so. Twas about dawn she supposed, and she could hear the faint footsteps of those on deck, rustling about. She then leaned against the bed baackboard, letting her thoughts roam...would they rescue the captives? What was Barbossa’s plan? Would the crew be harmed? Would Rose, or Jack?
She soon realized she had drifted off to sleep, and wished she had some rum with her, but found an apple suitable enough. She munched it quietly, still listening to the sounds of the sea. She finished it, put her hair back in the pony and beneath the bandana, then stood and stretched again, though was careful with the injured arm, for twas sore, but would assuredly not break open, which she was glad indeed for. So Norrington’s men did have a use...
Tobbs decided to check on the supplies first, hoping nothing had happened once again. Though she was weak still, she wasn’t as weak, and had gained some of her strength back, as well as not being pale. She walked along, checking the cannons, making sure they had supplies, then began her journey up the stairs.
She stepped abboard and cheerfully listened to the sound of the sea, loving the noise of the gulls, the ocean, and the bustling of the crew. She spotted Jack patting the french pirate, Nic, as she thought, and went over to them, saluting to the Cap’n and nodding her head to the other. She smiled as he looked concerned as if to make sure she didn’t look ill enough to send back down below deck, but she nodded her head once again and was cheerfully off to climb to the top of the ship before he could protest, her spyglass in hand.

Jack Sparrow.
:He eyed Tobbs carefully. but she seemed to have her sea legs back and he nodded at her:
"Glad to see yer back to yerself mate..." He looked at the now quickly rising sun, and noted that though the sun was rising, the sky still remained a deep crimson and pink, instead of turning blue as it normally was this time of day. Sure sign of stormy weather:
:He watched the sea, then looked back at the docks. Where was Norrington?: Roquen stands up from where he is sitting and walks over towards the cap’n holding out his hand and sayin "hello cap’n me names Roquen happy to be back aboard the black pearl, i hope you gave Barbosa what he had coming to him that slob, taking the black pearl i always loved this ship but i would never be on it under Barbosa’s command. good day savvy" He smiles towards Jack and walks away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic sighs and says quietly to Jack.* I s’pose you’re right. *mumbles* Maybe I should jus’ tell them now. I know she doesn’t...but still..I’d rather not tell everyone. *She sighs.* Know what I mean? Jack Sparrow.
;Jack looked at Roquen, and stood there a bit confused for a minute. rather, he looked confused but really wasn’t. then again.he always looked that way....paranoid, and confused......inside...he was....ok...so inside was a mess as well, but he wasn’t about to let on:
"Glad to have you aboard.." he called to Roquen’s back as he walked away. He began humming "his" song again......waiting for his crew to start begging him to shut up: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack turned back to Nic, and raised a eyebrow: "Up to you lass...up to you.....either way...I’m never askin’ you to leave this ship...and nobody can make you but yerself....savvy?"
:He looked back to the helm of his ship, where Rose stood, being sure to keep her in his sight. He’d never let harm come to her. It was the least he could do for Katrina. She was her mother’s daughter, that was a sure thing. And she was his daughter. Nothing would hurt a person with a drop of Sparrow’s blood in them: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sarah Fleming- The Black Pearl *Sarah yawned and got out of her bed. She tiptoed to the door and slowly opened it, then tiptoed out to the deck and quickly skirted across it. She hid behind some barrels as Jack and some other grew members crossed by, then she ran to Will’s cabin. She knocked softly.* Will, it’s me, Sarah. May I come in? *She heard Will grumble, but then call her in.* Will, do you know, are we very far from Elizabeth’s ship, the Dying Sun. You do know the baby’s due soon, and it just can’t be born on that ship! Oh, I’m so worried! *Sarah broke down, crying. Will put a arm around her, comforting her.* Will, Elizabeth always calls you a pirate. You must teach me how to be one so when the time comes I can fight with you to save her. Although I will admit, when the time comes I rather be the one bringing her to safety, while you and Jack fight so that we are not noticed. But I will do whatever need be. Will you help me? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will raised a brow at Marias mention of a braclet. He began searching his mind in hopes of finding some memory that dealt with such a thing but he did not have that sort of luck. He couldn’t think of anything. He looked at Maria and sighed heavily.* No Maria, im afraid I know nothing of a braclet of that sort. Tell me more about it, maybe that would help my memory. *Then he looked out across the glistening ocean, her waters waving rythmically as the breeze blew about him, sending wisps of hair across his slender face. He could think about nothing more than saving Elizabeth. Oh how he loved her and to loose her again made him feel like he was not any good at protecting her. He looked back at Maria.* Im sorry I cannot help you out more with the braclet. I have so much on my mind right now its hard to think of anything else. *Then suddenly a rather crude voice came across the breeze and Will instantly recognized the voice and song to belong to Jack Sparrow. He laughed and waved his hand at the captain to quiet him.* Jack, i should think if you do not cease your singing that soon you will not have a crew left, for they will have thrown themselves overboard to rid them of the pain! *Will teased.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack cuffed Will on the side of the head and burst into a more whole hearted version of the song, waving his arms as if conducting a band:
;At Will’s embarassed glance he only grinned and walked off, still singing plesantly, daring the crew to join in with him: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will is surprised by the sudden cuff on the side of his head and even more surprised at the even louder outburst of Jacks song. Will just grins slightly embarassed and watched at Jack strolled off. daring the crew to join him.* He hasn’t changed a bit. *Will laughed beneath his breath then he headed into his cabin to retrive a bit of a light snack when he heard a knock on his door. He grumbled but answered it, seeing Sarah standing there he welcomed her in.* Why hello Sarah, step inside. *As she began to ask him questions he began to answer them.* Im afraid I know nothing of how close we are to the Dying Sun. I can only hope we are not too far away. *Then he frowned and swollowed hard.* Yes, I know the baby is due soon and I do not wish for it to be born in the presense of so hideous a crew and I certainly wish to be there myself. *Then Sarah broke down crying. He wrapped his arm about her shoulder to comfort her and he tried to bring more of an uplifted tune to his voice as if hoping to comfort her more.* She calls me a pirate does she! Well Im afraid the better person to learn from would be Jack, he’s lived the life far longer than I and I’m afraid Im not what you would call...a proper pirate per say. Do not worry yourself Sarah when the time comes to save Elizabeth and those with her, all things will fall into place. They always seem too. *Then he walked back towards the door and grabbed up a small bowl filled with grapes. He turned to face Sarah again and smiled.* Come now, join me on deck. If Jack is going to sing then I think we shall too! *And with that Will rushed back out onto the deck, strolling over to Jack as he chimed into the song, his voice booming and for a moment, but no matter how laid back he tried to act he still had Elizabeth in his thoughts.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sarah Fleming- The Black Pearl *Sarah scurries after Will, her mind and heart still with Elizabeth. She soon forgot her worries for a while while she joined in with the crew, singing Jack’s song. She soon noticed Rose at the helm of the ship, standing alone. She looked about her age and Sarah thought it might be good to have someone to talk to. She walked up to Rose and stood next to her for a while, staring at the ocean, before she said anything.* Hello, I’m Sarah, Sarah Fleming. One of Elizabeth’s friends. How do you do? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic shakes her head at Jack when he mentions leaving.* No, never. *She sighs and looks around at the crew, hoping they had not taken her comments the wrong way. She just didn’t want them to know, it was as simple as that. Nic rested her arms on the side of the ship, and closed her eyes, the breeze blowing gently in her face. This is the life she always wanted. The open sea, and true freedom.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maharet- Jacks Crew Maria sighed once more and told Will she would tell him more later. She then wentv to Stand by Nic. There she rested and sat down against the side. Closing her eyes she said in a soft voice to Nic: "I’m soryy that I asked, I’m just inyo history and otheer peoples memories. For I don’t have many." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul awoke refreshed and with raring energy. "Cap’n, I’m ready te fight me way onte the Pearl an’ take’er back," he proclaimed to Barbossa. He had gotten his hair trimmed so that it was even, and cursed Tobbs yet again as he had to trim it shorter to match the shortest hairs she had cut. "I’ll get tha’ bloody woman soon enough." He hoped that Abigail was all right, and he was especially anxious to get her alone so he could ask her some more questions about David. She knew him all right, and better than she said she did. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Lettleby~ Port Royale Fort Captain David felt the sun slowly beating his face, and he awoke slowly, keeping his eyes closed and savoring the dream he had been in. Abigail was there, and they had taken a long walk down the beach together, hand in hand. As he opened his eyes, he saw the crimson dawn and frowned, knowing that meant a storm was brewing. He aroused himself out of his stupor, and went to check on his troops to see if they were up or still sleeping. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ally Black-Port Royale Officer *Ally had sat up the whole night for she had not been able to fall asleep. The crew had arrived almost an hour before dawn as she had commanded them, and the ship was almost ready to sail. The ship’s armory had been loaded with extra ammuntion and the crew was working hard to make sure that the Dauntless would be at its best on the sea. Ally walked to the helm and looked over at the Interceptor, where she could see that David’s men were also preparing the Dauntless’s sister ship. She wondered when Commodore Norrington would come and tell her of their plans. She figured that he would be discussing things with Captain Jack Sparrow, and Ally wished that she could be a part of those discussions. She had never met Jack face to face, but she had seen him. He seemed to be quite an interesting character. She could feel a light breeze heading from stern to bow, and she hoped that it would keep up, for it would help the ships with speed. Taking a deep breath, she went back down to watch over the crew.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic sighs at Maria. Now she was feeling a tad guilty.* Its alright. I s’pose I could’ve kept my temper better...its just that I don’ want all of you knowing my past. Its not something everyone needs to know. I hope you understand. Its not about trust, either. I’m sorry, mate. Would you rather I lied? Maria Maharet- Jacks Crew " no its alright Nic. For now I trust you you mind If I tell my history to you ?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Captain Barbossa "Aye, Paul. Yer not the only one who wants the Pearl back, mate. But if all goes ta plan, Sparrow will deliver ’er right to us, and we’ll go back ta bein’ the most fearsome crew in the seven seas!" *He gives Paul a slap on the back, and laughs.* "Now, prepare to weigh anchor before long. A storm’s blowin’ in, and it’s lookin’ bad. There’s an island not far from ’ere. If I remember correctly, it’s the same little godforsaken spit of land we marooned Jack on before... But it will have to do. Quickly, we ’aven’t got much time." *Barbossa took the wheel and began steering the ship toward a small patch of land not far off.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs had climbed atop the ship, looking down below to see the crew scrambling about, and Jack talkin to others. She saw a far off streak of lightning, and sighed, for twas never good to sail in storms in fear of damages, but twas always good to have the excitement of the boat’s rocking and the mist of the sea upon the deck.
She saw Will smile in a slight embarrassment, and laughed softly, then heard Jack singing as he walked pleasantly away. She climbed down, joining in the wonderful tune, her voice floating upon the breeze as the words rolled off her tongue. She did indeed have a melodous voice, and as she sung the familiar song, she had a skip in her steps. She went over to the Cap’n, smiled, and remembering the hug, decided not to suprise him with a hug, but patted him on the shoulder gleefully.
Cap’n, what shall I do before we set sails? I’ve checked the supplies and the cannons, and they’re ready for sure! So, what say ye? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic smiles and shakes her head.* No, if you’d like to, go ahead. I’m glad its alright, I’m sorry ’bout that, mate. *She turns around and sits down on the deck next to her.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose was extremely surprised when Jack approached her. Had he heard what she’d said about her history? She’d have to talk to him about it later, when matters weren’t so urgent. She’s also surprised at what he says...she can’;t wait to go and discuss tactics and such, and it makes her feel extremely good about herself that Jack trusts her enough to let her in on a meeting like this. Leaning against the railing, she keeps an eye on the docks and whistles softly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Norrington never got an inkling of sleep that night. He had been up writing his memoirs, not sure if he would ever get to do it again. However, as dawn came, he knew that the time had come to face the future, stare the sun in the eye and set sail. Norrington stepped outside in his decked out Naval uniform, however, this time he felt a bit uncomfortable in it, as if it....wasn’t fitting anymore......ignoring the feeling, he strode off the deck of the Interceptor, with a nod to David, and made his way to shore. As he passed the Dauntless, he beckoned for Captain Black to join him. As he made his way to the center of the shore, where three chairs and a map had been set earlier, Norrington sat down with the other Captain, and with a wave to one of Sparrow’s crew, awaited the arrival of his comrade....

Will Turner *Will sings on a little longer but after growing tired of it he strolls back into his cabin and sits down upon a stool and props his feet up on the table. Then he leans back a little, putting his hands behind his head as he gazes at the ceiling and thinks, trying to remember some braclet. When suddenly he thinks he remembers something about it. He leaps up from the table and rushes to the cabin door, scanning the deck for Maria. Then he rushes out to her.* Maria, I think I may have remembered something about that bracelet of yours you were talking about. Follow me to my cabin where we can talk without worrying about a thousand ears listening in, at least for now. *Then he glances beside him and sees that Maria had been busy talking with one of the crew members when he interupted.* Oh Sorry Mic. I missed you standing there, I’ll let the two of you be. But Maria when you do get the chance meet me in the cabin. If im not there just call for me I should hear you. *He gave a nod of his head to the two of them and then trotted back to his cabin, returning to his seat with his arms behind his head and his feet proped up.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Captain Ally Black-Port Royale Officer *Ally was standing on the deck of the Dauntless when she saw Commodore Norrington walking towards the ship. He beckoned her to come with him, and she placed one of her crew in charge until she returned. She caught a glimpse of herself in the water and realized that she was a mess. Her hair was very dishevelled and she didn’t look at all like the captain of a ship. She took a moment and re-braided her hair. She straightened her jacket and rubbed a spot off of her boots. This would be her first meeting with real captains, and she wanted to look the part. She followed the Commodore and took a seat beside him.* Good morning, Commodore. The Dauntless is in perfect shape, sir. She’s yearning for the sea.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose gave a start as she noticed Norrington arrive on the dock. "Hoi, Dad! They’re ’ere!" Knowing Jack will be right behind her, she walks briskly off onto the dock and throws a sweeping bow to Norrington. "G’morning, Commodore..." She then gives another start of surprise. "Ally, mate!" She salutes the older girl, grinning broadly. "Didn’t tell me you were an associate of the Commodore...suppose I shouldn’t be surprised." She gins again, then adds, "Oh...I never introduced meself, did I? Rose Glassman, at your service." She bows again, feeling a lot more cheerful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Captain Ally Black-Port Royale Officer *Ally smiles as she sees the familiar woman approaches her.* Ah, well, it’s very nice to finally know your name, Rose. Yes, I am indeed an associate of the Commodore. I am captaining the Dauntless actually. I didn’t know that you were with Jack Sparrow. That must be very exciting. Please do have a seat beside me. It is always a relief to have another woman around. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria She glances at nic. "Oh I’m so sorry But I will tell you later.Thank you for listening though" She goes to follow Will to his cabin What is it you have got to tell me? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose’s eyes widen. "Captaining th’ Dauntless? Wow," she says in awe as she sits next to Ally. "Sounds exciting...and aye, I recently met up with Captain Sparrow. ’E kindly accepted me into ’is crew." She briefly considers telling Ally the truth about being Jack’s daughter, as she finds herself trusting the Dauntless’s captain, but decides against it...you never knew who may be listening. Instead, she just grins again and says, "Aye, ’tsi exciting...and dangerous," she adds, remembering the pirate that attacked her twice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will sees Maria come into his cabin and it startles him from his day dream. He quickly removes his feet from the table then gets up and goes to the doorway. He glances about then slowly and quietly shuts the door. He once again, takes his seat upon the stool.* Here take a seat. *He says, motioning to the stool beside him. As Maria sits down he leans in closley, starring at the young girl intently. Then he takes a deep breath and looks away.* This braclet of yours, did it have the initials W.T. on it? If So I think It may stand for Will Turner and if it does then I have something very important to tell you. Its a very serious matter and I don’t want to get into it unless I’m sure this is the braclet. *He gazes at her, awaiting her response. The whole time his heart is thumping in his chest as he thinks of a dream he had only a few nights ago. Then he thinks of something else which caues his heart to jump. If only he could see the bracelet it would make matters much simpler.* Maria, do you happen to have the bracelet with you? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria her heart jumps as well.but a sign of resentment comes across her face as she answers will " A pirate took it from me when they were attacking port Royal. He threatened me and slit it off my wrist. He said he would give i to Elizabeth" She startles at what she said" Elizabeth has it." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Jacks Crew Woman Saber had once again retreated to the rigging. But this time she was on the side close to the docks, watching the meeting of the Captains with intrest. But as She cant hear a thing she soon gives up. "I guess I’ll just have to wait, and hear it with the rest of the crew." She mumbled to herself. Swinging down like the monkey she was, the young swords woman landed on all four of her limbs on the deck. Only to spring up again catch a rope and climb up the mast. Then quickly she pushed herself off and landed on the deck once more, but rather far away from where she started, on the other side of the ship near the rail. "Yep I still have it" she said to herself. The whole opperation took about 30 seconds. Then without warning she fell overboard again! "Man can a girl get nothing right?" she said climbing back on the ship. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *A smile smile grows across the lips of Will as he hears mention of Elizabeths name and his mind momentarily wonders back to her and all her grace and beauty. He missed her dearly but he had to focus on other things for the moment, thus he shoved her thoughts into the back of his mind.* I wonder why he would give it to Elizabeth. *He states now more confused than ever. He raised a brow and continued on with what he had to say for he was now certain that his bracelet was the one he was thinking of.* Maria, Im not sure if you already knew this, I know how dim your past is but...*He paused and looked away from her for a moment. He couldn’t believe it, there she was sitting right in front of him after all these long years.* But you are my sister. When I was very young, only slightly younger than you are now I had that bracelet. Mother had given it to me and I gave it to you only a few short days before I was ship wrecked and rescued by Elizabeth. *He smiled again and reached out, placing his hand upon the girls shoulder. He looked at her for a long moment and laughed warmly.* I thought It was you when I first saw you but it wasn’t until you mentioned the bracelet and I thought more about it that I knew it for sure. *Then he waited a moment, to see how she would take the news. He hoped with all his heart that she would take it well.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maharet( Turner) She smiles and tears come to her eyes. she couldn’t beleive that it was infront of her all along. For will was her brother. "Will. " she smiles again and hugs him tightly Her eyes closed and takes everything in. she puts her hand on his cheek.as if she knew all along.But then remebering her bracelett. " but what would they want with my bracelett?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Will Turner *Will laughs and smiles as Maria hugs him tightly. He wraps his arms around his long lost sister and then slowly pulls away. When she asks what they would want with her bracelet he rubs his chin with his finger tips as if to signify that he was thinking.* Im not sure what they would need it for, nor why they would give it to Elizabeth. Unless they know that it once belonged to me and are using it to lure me in. *Then he pauses for a moment longer and then quickly shakes his head, looking over at Maria then back at his hands which were now fumbling around with a spoon that had been upon the table.* No that couldn’t be it. They knew by kidnapping Elizabeth that I would come, so they wouldn’t need the bracelet for any purpose that has to do with me I shouldn’t think. *Then he slowly looks back over at Maria. A look of caution flickers in his deep brown eyes and he frowns.* They probably took it for purposes involving you. *Then he stood up slowly and walked to the doorway, opening it slowly as he glanced over his shoulder at her. He ran his fingers through his hair, thinking that maybe Jack would know something.* Just be on your guard Maria, and when we meet up with Barbossa and the rest of the cursed crew be more alert than ever. You may even want to talk to Jack about it. *With that he left the cabin and walked back on deck, putting a smile on his face as he passed the other crew members, giving them a wave with his hand as he walked passed them.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He waited for his daughter to go bounding towards Norrington, almost laughing at her apparent eagerness to get there, and walked casually after her.:
:Next to Norrington, Jack looked....well...out of place. Where Norrington was neat, trim and clean, Jack was chaotic, fluid and messy. But it suited him just fine. Jack knew, had a inkling, that Norrington wasn’t as pompous as he looked. He was a good fellow...just bound by the law a bit to much. The man needed to go pirate for a week or two to loosen him up a bit:
:Has he appraoched he was still merrily humming his infamous song, putting up the apperance that he considered this meeting no more then a dainty little tea party in a rose garden.: "Looks like themorning of judgement as come...a red dawn.... eh?" He said, giving the Commodore a smile. He turned to Ally Black and gave her a surprisingly graceful bow, something nobody would have guessed from his normal swagger.: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "And a good morning to you as well lass...." He straighteed himself in a instant, completly alert and wary now, ready to talk busniess. His eyes were dark as he gestured towards the horizon. "Just thought I’d let you know....we’re in for one hell of a storm....savvy?" hmmm it seems our ship is filled with greetings and softies, we gunna set ail er what?
muttered Roquen as a choked a laugh from the rum he was drinking, he had been pacing the deck giving greetings to all of the crew members. Insanity, constant hellos all so polite and happy, ugh i just hate the atmosphere... Roquen thought silently to himself, he was used to the Black Pearl being filled with rotten toothed treasure hungry pirates
He had previousley been on the Black Pearl with Barbosa but after a while he knew the man as bad news and was tossed over next to the pirates island, he had to swim for almost two miles straight in waters with sharks in them! he was lucky he lived although once on shore he had fainted of weariness.
He would have his say in Barbosa’s humiliating defeat, even if Jack was the captain he didnt care, one way or another he would humiliate Barbosa! A smile came to Roquens parched lips, suddenly he produced a flute from inside of his cute and began playing a melody he learned during his childhood. the smell of the ocean always inspired him to play. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs laughed softly as the Cap’n stood next to the Commodore, for they were indeed different, but she seemed to like the pirate look better, for Norrington and his men seemed to...pretty...
She listened intently on his words of the storm and nodded her head, agreeing that the storm would be a fierce one. She inquired what she should do and that she had checked the supplies and firearms, and they were indeed in stock and ready for the voyage. She smiled, happy to hear they would be sailing soon, for she loved the sea, loved the smell of the salty ocean. She sighed happily, and waited for Jack’s reply, almost fidgeting in anticipation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swan/Turner
Elizabeth had stayed on the floor for about five minutes when a pirate came ion to escort her back to her room. She sighed, wiping her tear stained cheeks, and got up as gracefully as she could do at the time. Her head ached in pain, and she decided to grab a few apples as she was led away, for she knew her appetite would return, after all she was eating for two.
At the thought of her coming child, she rubbed her tummy as she entered her room, and walked to the window, wishing Will could be with her. She didn’t want him to follow, for twould be his doom most likely, but she had a longing to see his wonderful face, listen to his voice, just to see him again would be an accomplishment. She sighed and laid down upon the bed that neared her window, still looking out at the hazey clouds before her. Slowly, she drifted off to sleep... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack looked at Tobbs, noting she was getting pretty twitchy about the whole matter. He gave her a mischivious grin. A grin that said without saying that no matter what happened, he had completle confidence his crew would make it out in one piece.:
"Tobbs....come with me a moment." He led her away a bit. "We aren’t sailing for a fair time now.....and the Pearl is as ready as she’ll ever be....go to Port Royale.." He plunked a small leather purse in her hand. "and find yerself something...consider it a gift of thanks.....savvy?" He patted her back, and turned to Norrington. "We should leave before the sun is to high.......better to be out to sea before midday........savvy?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs was about to express her sorrow of not sailing as she was led away by the Cap’n, but when he put the purse in her hands, she was overjoyed enough to throw her arms around him again, her second hug in many years. She had never been given anything before, she had to "borrow things without the owners knowing" usually, and twas an utter suprise he had done so. She withdrew her arms, and before running to the port, she quickly kissed him on the cheek merrily and rushed off. But before she walked away to the city, she looked up at the Pearl, unsure as if to leave it. But, in the end, after a minute or so, she was too excited, and she almost skipped off into the distance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic smiles understandingly at Maria and watches her walk away. She sighs, flustered and automatically reaches for her bottle of rum. She gulps some down. How is Barbossa alive? The question still burning in her thoughts. Nic wants to know. He was bloody dead...he can’t just walk back from the grave, she thinks to herself. Her thoughts drift back to Maria and then back to her life in France. No...no, you aren’t that person anymore...you’re Nic...you’re not Mademoiselle DeLoncre, not Nicoletta...Nic, you’re a pirate. She decides to put the rum away and puts her head in her hands. Nic hears faint thunder in the distance, and looks up towards the sky.* Oh..a bloody storm...*she mutters to herself* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He was a bit unnerved by the hug and wasn’t sure how to react, so he just smiled and watched Tobbs skip off and looked at Rose, Black and Norrington.: "Well.....do we have a accord?"
:He moved closer to Rose, and looked at Norrington. When Rose was not within ear shot, he was planning to ask Norrington to watch over Rose. He always put himself in harms way....he didn’t want to risk Rose’s life either. He waited, tryingto catch Norrington’s eye, to make him understand what he wanted, without having to admit this. He was afriad...for his daughter’s safety: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Jacks Crew Woman Sopping wet Saber made her way across the deck. She saw Nic standing by herself by the rail. The girl appeared troubled, and then looked at the sky. Saber did as well and looked at the approching storm. Nic had put her rum down, and ever the trouble maker, though when need be she was ready to die for her friends, she quietly walked up and took the jug. Now Saber was probably the only pirate on the ship who did not drink. "It ruined her sword arm, and took away her skill" she used to say. But still the prospect of taking somone else’s jug was to good to pass up. So In Sabers mind it had to be done. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic’s thoughts are interrupted when she sees Saber take her rum.* Hey, mate. Are you gonna drink that? *She narrows her eyes a little at Saber, half hoping she is, and if she isn’t, wondering what she wants with it.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sarah Fleming- The Black Pearl *Sarah raced across the deck at the announce that the Commodore was here. As she near him she walked, gracefully the rest of the way to him, than curtsied.* Commodore, what a pleasure to finally be meeting you, Governor Swan speaks highly of you. *Sarah then notices Ally for the first time.* Greetings Miss! How did you come to be on this journey?

Mason Dupont ~ Jack’s Crew *Mason walks over to the side of the ship and leans with his arms on it staring out at the sea he looks over and says to Nic* I know yer history but I swear on my fathers grave I’ll never tell as long as yyou don’t want people to know *he then looked back out to sea and was glad nobody had asked him why he wasn’t telling* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aundiul continued to pace the deck. She walks over to Nic and Saber. "Hey mates! Saber why do you have that drink in your hand? You don’t drink! Well anyway can somebody tell me what’s been going on here before a came? You know with Barbossa?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hawk ~ Jack’s crew woman *Wakes shortly after dawn and looks around at the unfamilar cabin startled at first before she realizes where she is. She glances down at her injured leg wondering if she’ll able to ever use it again, and sits up abruptly when she sees that her leg is bandaged and barily causes her any pain at all. After checking her dressing she gingerly swings her legs over the side of the bunk and lightly puts weight on her leg. Besides a slight stiffness, it seems fine. She limps over to a nearby window and looks outside at the still blood red dawn. She frowns knowing that they were in for an even rougher journey. She runs a hand through her long black hair and goes up on the deck. She lifts her face to the sun and inhales the sharp sea air, for the first time in months actually enjoying being alive.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Lettleby~ Port Royale Fort Captain David gave a nod back to Norrington as he walked over to the table meant for him and the captains. He saw Sparrow come, bow at Black, and also noted the girl that was with them. "What a pathetic-looking girl!" he muttered to himself. "I wonder what connection she’s got with Sparrow." He then turned his attention back to his troops, and started barking orders at them. "Remember your guns, your swords, and your wits! You will need them all on this trip! And also, there a storm coming, so be prepared for that as well! Get moving! Start filing on-board! NOW!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Jacks Crew Woman "Ummm..me mate? Drink this rum? Uh no I was just, umm, having, umm." Saber sighed with relief when Aunduil came over. Nothing was worse than being caught in the middle of a prank, well except maybe hanging. Quickly she shoved the jug back into Nic’s hands. "To answer your question mate" she said to Aunduil "I once sailed with Barbossa as you may well know, but after I left the ship, I havent a bloody clue. I heard he died, but thats about it...I guess he didnt die after all." and with that she was gone dashing across the deck, leaping on barrels like a cat and climbing the rigging like a monkey. She heard a few people mutter "show off" But the girl couldnt help it, this was her idea of fun. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Captain Ally Black-Port Royale Officer *Ally smiled at Rose and looked up in surprise as she saw Jack Sparrow. She was even more surprised when he bowed in front of her, and she nodded politely to him in return. She listened to the talk of the other captains for a moment and then watched as Sarah Fleming rushed towards them* Ah, hello there. Sarah, isn’t it? Well, I came to be on this journey because I am an officer under Commodore Norrington, and he has so graciously allowed me to captain the Dauntless. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sasha AKA Sara Turner *Sasha was walking around the ship, making sure she had every thing, when she spotted Will, and her little sister, Maria. ’What was this?’ she thought. ’A family reunion.’ There was her younger brother and sister, her sister being to young to remember her but her brother, having his wonderfull memory, recognised her the minuet he saw her. She was carefull to avoid him from that moment, this was not the time for this, she had to find her sister inlaw.* *Sasha smiled and continued packing. She then joined the group of fellow pirates around the mast. She tried not to think of her family, she had been safe with her sister, her not being able to remember her and all, but now with her brother here, she would have to watch out.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maharet( Amelia Turner) The smile on her face is unbeaeable. But she can’t let Family matters get intoi Piracy. For she had been one all her life. Her memory floats back to the bracelette. " I still don’t know what they wnat with the bracellete." Her mind suddenly jolts. thinking back to the old ghost stories, which were told by Jack. " They need the last piece and the blood repaid..." She now knows why." I have a piece of gold and blood to be repaid.The bracelette was aztec gold and I am a turner.But they don’t know I’m a turner yet." She hopes her now sister Sasha didn’t hear that ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Snort-Crew of the damned Snort still clinged hard to the bottom of the boat, he had to stay as close to the water as possible so he wouldn’t be spotted. No one had notice him and no one would in the position he was in. C’mon c’mon can’t these damn pirates go any slower. Snort had a good mind to climb aboard and slaughter everyone in the crew and take over the ship. And then he’d be captain. But Snort would get lost at sea due to horrible navigation. Well I got no choice then but to wait Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Nic turns to Mason.* Er...I told ye? *She shifts a bit uncomfortably.* Was I..drunk when this happened? *She cringes, hoping she didn’t do or say anything stupid like she usually does when drunk. Nic takes the bottle of rum from Saber, and raises her eyebrows at the girl.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Mason Dupont~Jack’s Crew *Mason chuckles and says* to tell you the truth we were both a bit drunk, and I told you everyting about me too, I can’t remember everything that happened, but we told eachother alot can’t remember what else happened *he looks out to sea and chuckles lightly* maybe we shouldn’t have drank so much. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
