Jack Sparrow.
:He gave David Lettleby a look over and grinned, recognizing him: "Aren’t you the man I knocked out eariler?" At David’s glare Jack only grinned. "Was for yer own good, mate....savvy?"
:Jack gestured to Rose and said with a small smile: "My Daughter, Rose." he said as if this shouldn’t be a bit of a shock for any of them. There was after all a certain resemblance. The eyes mostly. Something wild and chaotic danced behind both of their eyes, and their presence had that same self confident, graceful ease.:
"Now...about sailin’.......my crew is nearly ready to shove off......and I’m betting Barbossa is on his way to Isle deMuerta....and he’ll be expectin’ us...savvy?"
:He stopped a moment then looked at Norrington and his officers.: "I can lead us there....I can’t promise you the safety of your boats...sorry...ships.....and in this storm....chances are we might not arrive the same time.....I we arive at all...." Jack stopped. "Let me sail ahead of you in the Pearl....then when Barbossa thinks he’s safe with just me and me crew to deal with...then you can come up and blast them with your big shiny cannons, savvy?"
:Jack gave the Commodore and his officers a grin.: "Then you can tell everyone you got rid of the last true pirate problem in the Caribbean......and.."he added with a even wider grin. "If we all come out of it alive...I’ll buy the drinks.....and a really big hat for you,with lots of feathers..... savvy, commodore?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic gapes at him.* We- both? Drunk? Why the bloody hell don’t I remember this? *She sighs.* I hope I did’t do anything stupid. Like I always do. *She mutters and looks back at him* Whate’er I said that day....don’t tell anyone. Please, Mason. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mason Dupont~Jack’s Crew *Mason smiles at Nic and says* I promise you I will never tell anyone *he smiles at her with a look of understanding and added* I don’t think we did anything stupid at least I hope we didn’t *he puts his hand on her shoulder and says* if you remember anything of what I told you please don’t tell anyone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic looks down at his hand on her shoulder, and steps back a little. She shakes her head.* If I remember anything, I won’t tell anyone. *she tries to remember and shakes her head again* I don’t remember this at all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will walks slowly to the front of the boat, leaning against the railing as he looks out across the waters which, with every passing moment, were growing more and more disturbed. He gazed at the blood red sun rise and he glarred. A storm was brewing in the heavens and as he glanced up at them he knew it wouldn’t be long before hell itself came pouring down. Things seemed to just keep getting worse. First his Elizabeth was snatched away and the condition she was in just made things more ill. Will grew furious with the fact that Elizabeth had to be in so dreadful a place. He wouldn’t rest until he had her back, safe and secure in his arms. He sighed heavily and bowed his head, turning from the sunrise. Then slowly he raised his head and caught a glimpse of a woman.* Sasha? *He said quietly to himself. He couldn’t believe it, there she was. He started to say something when he noticed that she quickly walked away, almost as if to avoid him. A look of confusion spread across his face as he moved aside a strand of hair in his face. Figuring that she had her reasons of avoiding him he did not attempt to persue her. Instead he felt if they weren’t going to be leaving anytime soon he wasn’t going to stay on the boat. He would be spending pleanty of time on it quite shortly and decided to go back to shore for the time being. As he got off he saw Jack talking to Commodore and his officers so he paused beside Jack and glanced over at him, laughing at the mention of a big hat with lots of feathers. Then he cleared his throat.* Jack, once we set sail I should hope you don’t mind my company for I intend to stay with you for most of the trip. You are afterall the captain and the captain knows most of what is going on and since it is my wife upon that cursed ship I should know as well. *He looked Jack in the eyes hoping he would take the offer. Then he added with a slight grin.* Savvy? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Lettleby~ Port Royale Fort Captain David grinned tight-lipped when Jack addressed him. He remembered the. . . . circumstances. Jack knocked him out. Twice. As he listened, his eyes widened at the mention of Rose. He tipped his hat to her, out of both surprise and courtesy, mainly surprise. His mind was still on Abigail, and he just hoped that no harm had come to her. The Commodore’s voice cut through his day-dreams, and he inquired of the troops. "All safely aboard the Interceptor, Commodore." David saluted, then went aboard the ship. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sarah Fleming- Black Pearl *Sarah smiled and nodded to Ally.* The Commodor is a very generous man! *Seeing a surprised look on Rose’s face. Sarah leaned close enough to Rose to whisper in her ear.* More like a greedy slug. hehe *Sarah snickered, but quickly straightened her face.* Commodor, how long will you be accompaning us on this voyage? *Hopefully not long she thought to herself.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Saber~Jacks Crew Woman Swinging from a rope Saber caught a glimps of Sasha, wandering around on the deck. Timing it just right, she let go of the rope, and landed softly right behind Sasha. Quietly she began to follow her. The rest of the crew would soon realize that if somone pulled a prank, or was showing off, it was most likely to be Saber. Still standing behind the other girl, Saber waited until the moment was just right. Then all at once she grabed Sasha’s shoulders, and gave a small yell "Avast ye swab!" then ran away to see what the girl’s reaction would be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Abigail Thatcher--Elizabeth Swann-Turner’s maid
Abigail tossed and turned all night. It wasn’t easy to fall asleep in a strange place knowing that her life could be ended at a moment’s notice. She woke up to the sun streaming in through her small cabin window. She groaned as she sat up and stretched. WIthout her usual eight hours of sleep, she felt quite fatigued. She put her fingertips beneath her eyelids. She could tell she had bags under her eyes. "At least Mr. Lettleby isn’t here to see me so what do I care?" she thought quietly to herself. She got out of the bed, if you could call it that. It was more like a thin mattress on a frame just barely off floor. She tiptoed to the door which was locked from the outside. Putting her ear to the keyhole, she could hear footsteps up and down the hallway, muffled noises, and the laughter and camraderie among the pirates. She wondered what would happen today. Would pirate Paul come back and ask more questions about Mr. David Lettleby, the Port Royal Captain? If he did, she was determined to find out why he was so curious about David. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose grinned slightly at the look of surprise on the three Port Royale officers’ faces when Jack announced she was his daughter. "Sounds like a plan t’me, Dad..." She got to her feet and bowed to David. "I remember you, mate...helped Ally ’ere get you aboard th’ Dauntless when you were out, and you showed me here she was." She winks, then sits back down, wondering how Norrington’ll take Jack’s little speech. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul called to Barbossa, "I’m goin’ te get the pris’ners an’ question them one by one; ay Captain?" Barbossa growled what Paul knew to be a ’yes’ and he walked first to Abigail’s quarters, hoping he could talk with her some more about David. He knocked on the door, waiting, and hoping, that she was up. When he didn’t hear anything, he called out, "’ey ye! Abby! Geddup! It’s time fer yer breakfast!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Lettleby~ Port Royale Troops’ Captain David blinked in surprise again, as he recollected having been carried at one point or another in his unconscious state. "Your welcome," he said to Rose, not sure whether to take her words as an insult or a compliment. David kept thinking about Abigail though. Was she okay? Did Barbossa hurt her? Was she thinking about him? He shook that last thought, and now paid attention to the words being exchanged about when to set sail. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Captain Barbossa *The sun was already high over head when the crew of the Dying Sun weighed anchor off the coast of the small island. Taking one of the smaller row boats, the Captain, his crew, and their three captives set out for the sandy shore. They had all been here the year before, when Barbossa had marooned Jack and Elizabeth there and left them to die. The boat slids up against the sand and comes to a halt, allowing the passengers to step onto the beach.* "Shakes, see if ya can’t go find us a good place ta shelter tanight. Take Murtogg ’ere with you, ’e still needs ta shake that ’angover... Me an’ Paul’ll watch these three." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Norrington was not in the least bit surprised at the relation between Rose and Jack...they had the same twinkle, the same fire...however, he saw something else...something in only Jack’s eyes...he’d seen the look before, the look on his mother’s eyes when he was taken away back home.....he understood now
Hmm...sounds like a plan Captain Sparrow. However, I have one last proposition for you...I see your lovely ship there, the Pearl is quite a catch, really...but...take no offence..I find it not the place for a lady so obviously of your daughter’s stature, she’s like a true pearl herself. May I offer her lodging aboard the Interceptor or the Dauntless??
Oh yes, there is another matter, that you may want to hear. When you first left Port Royale so long ago....I sent a courier to England, querying as to what to do with you should you have returned, and what would happen if I did nothing. Well, just today, that courier ship came back....and I am to arrest you forthwith and take you back to England no questions asked....
The Commodore approaches the Captain with three guards behind him....and looking Sparrow deep in the eyes....Sparrow swears he sees a twinkle.... Right then, the unthinkable happens...Commodore Patrick Norrington...Commodore of the British Naval Armada...took off his hat and ranking pins...and then his Commodore jacket....finally, he laid the beautiful scabbard of his newly made sword on the sand...and looked up at Jack
They said if I didn’t arrest you, then I was accused with treason, and would be executed upon return to England.
I am through listening to the English! *Now his original Irish accent comes shining through* Aye boyo, Oi am ’ere to ’elp you retrieve Ms. Elizabeth an’ the outhers, iffen it is the last thing oi do!! Call mah Commodore no more friends...Oi am a simple Captain....and shall it remain....
Hear mah now friends, any offisah o’ this here brigade that dun wanna sail under a traitor to England, leave now, an’ we won’ think any less o’ ya!!
With that, oi believe our business ’ere is dun Captain Jack Sparrow...may oi say best o’ luck ta ye an your crew, godspeed your sails...friend....may oi say it will be an honor sailing??
Norrington turns to leave, Ally right behind him...he had caught a conversation between Rose and Sarah Fleming. With a mischevious grin he hadn’t worn since he was a child, he walked up to the ladies, and bowing low to Ms. Fleming, he said
Aye missie, oi’m glad ta ’ear me generosity is so well known in these circles. Here, m’lady, tis quite chilly....*giving her his Commodore jacket, that which distinguishe his rank..*...take this, and warm yourself, it does mah no good anymore...
Norrington walks back to the Interceptor, a new man, waiting to see if any men would leave, not expecting them to stay....and also waiting to see everyone’s reaction to his brash decisions......

Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose grinned at David...she rather enjoyed confusing people. Her eyes went from him to Ally, to Norrington, to her father, to the Black Pearl, and then to the horizon. She yawned, then tried to cover it...she was exhausted, as well as ravenously hungry, but they’d have to go soon, and she couldn’t show this... As Norrington offers her lodging aboard the Dauntless or Interceptor, her grin grows slightly at his words. She raises an eyebrow, then both of them as he announces hr has to arrest Jack. She moves her hand to her swordhilt...then freezes in surprise as he speaks with an accent and announces he won’t be listening to the English, and will follow Jack. "Well..." Rose says slowly, recovering herself well, but with a shocked sparkle still in her eye. "Thankee for yer words, but...I’ll... be quite all right on the Pearl, thank you, Co - Mr. Norrington. Besides, ’m steerin’." She grins again, her head still spinning from Norrington’s actions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria( Amelia Turner)- Jacks Crew She goes up to rose in need of someone to talk to " Rose how old are you Exactly?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Her head still spinning from everything that’s happened...from Norrington’s compliment (no one’d ever called her a lady before!) to his accent (he was Irish!) to his actions (that she’d certainly never expected in the short time she’d known him), Rose turns and almost runs into Maria. "Ah! Don’t scare me like, mate," she says with a grin. "Me? ’m sixteen...sixteen and a half...though y’lose track goin’ every which way like I do. And y’self?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ally Black-Port Royale Officer *Ally’s mouth dropped as she heard the Commodore’s words. Had Norrington actually just resigned from the Navy? She just couldn’t believe it! And what was this new accent? Was this really who he was? Ally was so stunned that she couldn’t speak, but she felt no anger. Norrington had had to hide who he was, and she greatly admired him for showing his true self. She couldn’t believe that Norington was just a common person like herself, and her words caught in her throat. As Norrington stood to leave, Ally stood up and followed him. She would not abandon him, for she greatly admired his bravery, and she wished that she had the courage to reveal her true self as he had. She remembered his earler words, and as she left, she told Rose that she would be glad to have her on the Dauntless if she so desired. Ally followed Norrington towards the Interceptor and caught up with him.* "Um, sir, I want you to know that I am behind you all the way. If you need anything at all, I hope you know you can always count on me. My loyalty is with you, not the Navy. I will help you in any way I can. *Ally stood still beside Norrington, waiting to her what he would do next.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria ( amelia Turner)- Jacks Crew "Well..." She still has a grin on her face for scaring rose "... I’m only Thirteen. Even though have been on sea most of m life. though Jack couldn’t raise me a bit so I raised myself" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will had been standing there grinning at Jack Sparrow, awaiting his answer about Wills propsoal to follow him like a shadow for the rest of the trip when Norrington took him by complete surprise. Norrington again began to speak and Will turned to face him, listening to his words. When he began talking about how he was told to arrest Jack Will took a single step towards him and glarred. He still was not as fond of Norrington as he probably should be, it was him afterall that stepped down allowing Will to be with his one true love. But all of that was gone now. How could Norrington even think about arresting so grand a person as Jack Sparrow. Captain Jack Sparrow at that! Then Norrington began to remove all that made him a Port Royale officer and Wills deep brown eyes gazed respectfully at the man who was stepping down from so high a position. Will slowly looked back over to Jack and just stood there, blinking, not sure of what to say. Then Norrington spoke more, in his true Irish accent then walked off. Will stood there a moment then trotted off towards him, walking beside him once he had caught up.* Norrington I, I don’t know what to say except... *Will paused and looked down at the ground.* Except it was very respectable what you did back there. It takes a true man to do something like that. *Then Will slowly looked back up at Norrington, their eyes meeting for almost the first time in what seemed like ages. Then he smiled and gave a nod with his head, rushing back over to again take his place beside Jack and Rose.* Well I certainly was not expecting that scene to play out like it did! I thought all hell was going to break loose right here in the docks! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose raises an eyebrow at Maria. "Thirteen? Y’look older, mate." She grins, then raises her head as Will comes back. "You’re tellin’ me, mate! Was ready to defend Dad if th’ worst should happen...but Norrington was a sport, wasn’t ’e? Didn’t expect ’im to do that ’t all...’specially not the accent ’n everythin’." She grins after Norrington, Ally, and David. "Well, mates, now that that’s settled...shall we? Back to the Pearl, and we’ll take right off!" Rose has obviously inherited her father;s enthusiasm and take-charge behavior... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria ( Amelia Turner) " Yes Thiteen I am....Yes I guess we shall return to the Black Pearl" she follows Rose back on the pearl. She whispers to herself." I love being a pirate." A grin comes to her face a begins humming an old time pirate favorite" Yo ho, yo ho a pirates life for me...." but then something distacts her. it was the memory of that bracelette. why it bothered her so much. She didn’t understand. Was it that she now knew who she was or was it that they took it."Poor Elizabeth... and Abigail.. and the gov’na." accent was sweet yet soft. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose hops back onto the Black Pearl, feeling lighthearted despite the approaching storm. She had her father, and she knew he cared about her. She had friends aboard the Pearl, and one in the captain of the Dauntless. She’d be steering the famous Black Pearl shortly. And she’d gotten her first compliment in over a year from such a person as the ex-commodore! Yes, life was definitely improving; and for the first time in 16 years, Rose Glassman considered herself optimistic. Striding across deck, she listened to Jack bellow out orders, and was instantly swamped with people asking her how the "talk" with the Commodore went. "Alrigh’, alrigh’!" she cried out in mock annoyance. "Give the helmsgal breathin’ room, will ya?" She grins and makes her way to the wheel, ready to steer once the ship starts moving. "Norrington’s a lovely chap...’e heard us out, agreed with Dad. Even resigned from the Navy just t’ ’elp us." Her grin widens as she relishes the shocked looks on everyone’s faces. "Alrigh’ now, time to go...y’heard Dad! All ’ands on deck!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will looks at Rose and listens to her, then smiles and nods and then laughs a little, thinking back on the sudden Irish accent that had rolled of Norringtons tongue.* Yes I must admit that was quite shocking. All these years he’s been hiding behind a mask and none of us ever knew. *He sighed.* Well he wore it well. *Then Rose mentions getting back on the Pearl to set sail, something he had been wanting to do for a long time now. For every second they were here on the dock, his dearest Elizabeth, Abigail, and the govenor were getting further from reach. Just thinking about the wicked things that would be happening to the three of them right now tore him up inside, but it was what he was afraid they were doing to Elizabeth that truley was killing his heart. He places his arm about Marias shoulders and smiles down at her. He admired her bravery and skill, considering that she was still very young. He felt a need to protect her, although he wouldn’t say that out loud for he knew the last thing she wanted was an older brother nagging her to be cautious.* Yes, let us get going. The sooner we leave the sooner we can get to my wife. To my Elizabeth. *He said, his voice trailing off near the end. As they walked back towards the ship he glanced over his shoulder at the dock, the last place he had seen her. His jaw clenched as he thought about her being taken. If only I hadn’t entered that bloody ship, I could have protected her. *He thought to himself. He blammed himself for her abduction and if anything happened to her he would never forgive himself. He knew very well that he would probably die rescuing her. But it was a risk he was willing to take and he would not have it any other way. He only hoped that when the time came he was the one to rescue her, as it seemed fitting to him. With that final thought he looked away and gazed up at the Pearl as they boarded her once more.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Lettleby~ Norrington’s Crew David was stunned, but not the least bit surprised. He knew it would be coming sooner or later. As he listened to Norrington’s speech, he was shocked hearing him talk with an Irish accent, and as Norrington left, David followed Ally, making it a line of officers to the ships in dock. "Capt. Norrington, sir; I just wanted you to know that I would be honored, and privileged to keep sail under your able command." David then took off his jacket, removed his hat, and tossed them aside. "Won’t be needing those anymore," he grinned at his two comrades. He felt a little more boyish now, happier than he had been in a long time, although he had no idea why. "Maybe I should get me some pirate clothes, dress the part at least." He walked back to the ship, a slight swagger starting in his legs at the thought of becoming a pirate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack had winced when Norrington told him he was to be arrested, then looked utterly pleased and beside himself when Norrington basically destroyed his rank. He had a feeling the good ol’ commodore might do that. But Jack shook his head and patted Norrington’s shoulder:
"Yer a brave man, Commodore..." He said. "And the Royal Nazy might yet have use for you.....savvy?" Then he turned his eyes towards the horizon and gestured to the Ships waiting them.: "As for my daughter...I want her near me......but...I would be grateful if you kept a sharp eye on her, savvy?"
"Shove off!" He called to the crew aboard the Black Pearl and ushered Rose up the plank towards the decks. He gestured towards Will, motioning him to climb aboard, and grabbed a rope, swinging himself onto the deck with a graceful ease.:
"I want to see not but heels flying on my deck!" He shouted. "To Isle DeMurta!" He walked towards he’s ship’s wheel, looking at his compass, then atNorrington, giving him a wave. "What are you waiting for, Commodore?!" He seemed to be in a rather carefree mood, and he said, and he saw Tobbs coming towards them. He grinned, and reached over the deck to hel her aboard.: "We’re shovin’ off to Sea..." He said with a grin.: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Norrington was glad to see his officers follow his example, and also more that Jack accepted it. He felt free, released in a way....and yelling orders in his harsh Irish voice, he called out.
Aye, Ally, good sailin’s to ya lass, keep ’er close to ya gal, and she’ll be good to ya! David, get those troops secured! Oi down’t need ’nyone gettin’ seasick on us now do oi?
And Jack...that’s Captain Paddy Norrington to you now!!
Steersmen...fallow that sun boyo, follow it to the very depths of ’ell where she came from!!
With that the Dauntless and the Interceptor, two once been British Navy ships, now commandeered by probably outlaws, left the harbor of Port Royale, following in the wake of the Carribean’s greatest legend......the Black Pearl... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Thatcher--Elizabeth Swann-Turner’s maid
’ey ye! Abby! Geddup! It’s time fer yer breakfast." Paul yelled through the key hole in the cabin room door. Abigail quickly stepped back afraid that he would suddenly barge in and catch her eavesdropping. "Abby indeed!" she thought to herself. How dare Paul call her by her nickname! He was a scoundral and a pirate. But deep down she knew that expecting the pirates to call her Miss Thatcher was both foolish and silly. Still, she was slowly coming to realize that Paul had better manners than most of the other pirates aboard the Dying Sun. Abigail straightened her clothes and ran her fingers through her hair. She patted her cheeks to give them some color. "I’m already up!!..I’d prefer to eat in here or with Miss Elizabeth." She hoped Paul wasn’t going to make her eat breakfast with the rest of the crew. She stood close to the door waiting for his response.

Brandy Callahan - [eventual]Jack’s crewmember Brandy looked ahead of her. Finally, the familiar sight of Port Royale. She took out the oars and started to row, adding that force to the wind already gently pushing the small longboat towards the dock. It had been several days since the attack on the Wild Card and Brandy wouldn’t wait to get back to the Sea Spray Inn. Oh, her mother would have a thing or two to say about her appearance, she always did ever since Brandy had cut her hair, but once Brandy delivered the news...that would change everything. Slowly the boat got closer to the docks. A gust of wind from the pirate-gallows made her wrinkle her nose a bit but that was the only reaction. Maybe she’d captain her own ship once her father’s will had been read. Dara wouldn’t approve, but then Dara didn’t approve much of what Brandy did. Suddenly, Brandy felt water on her feet and glanced down. The rag she’d put in to stop up a small hole had already given way. Muttering a few choice words under her breath, Brandy forgot the oars and started bailing. Ahead of her were two ships, one looking about to set sail. She wondered if they had anything to do with the pirate-ship the Card had tangled with. She bailed and bailed, but the water was slowly winning the war. Swearing under her breath, Brandy looked up at the nearest ship. she looked fast, did the ship, and Brandy could read the name painted on the bow; the Black Pearl. She remembered hearing of that ship, but it was obviously under a different captain and crew than the stories said. She could only assume that things had changed since the last time the Pearl had been seen around Port Royale. The water was almost half-way up her shins now and she still kept bailing, hoping to God that someone on the ship saw her before the boat sank. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew *Nic sighs and hears Jack’s words that they are setting off. She grins. Finally. Just doing what ye love now. Sailin’ free on the open sea. She continues grinning, her mood much improved now that they’re setting sail. She sees someone in a small boat not far away. She peers over and calls,* Oy! Need some ’elp, mate? *She yells to Jack.* Cap’n! There’s someone ’ere that could use a bit of help! *She yells back to her.* Try to make it closer o’er here! I’ll hand ye a rope to climb aboard. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brandy Callahan - [eventual]Jack’s crew Brandy nodded and called back "Will do. Thanks!", grabbed the one oar that hadn’t fallen overboard when she started bailing, and started making her way closer to the Pearl. It was slow going, since she had to stop every now and then to bail, but she kept it up, finally pulling up alongside the ship. She was careful to keep enough distance between the ship’s hull and her boat so that the boat didn’t get crushed by being knocked against the Pearl, but she got close enought o be able to grab at something someone might toss down to help her climb aboard. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic yells down at her.* Hang in there, mate! *She searches around for a rope, spots one and runs over to get it. She uncoils it quickly and throws it down. She looks down at her, wondering what she’s doing in a tiny sinking boat heading to Port Royale. She hopes its not another of Jack’s kids. Nic holds lightly onto the rope, allowing her to climb up.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brandy Callahan - [eventual]Jack’s crew Brandy grabbed the rope and started pulling herself upward with practiced speed. Below her, the boat gurgled and went under, leaving an oar and a bucket bobbing on top of the water. Finally Brandy clambered over the railing and stood on the deck, panting a bit. Her cloths, an off-white shirt and black vest and pants, hang slighly loosely off her but aside from that she just looks tired. "Thanks again, mate." she said the girl who’d tossed the rope. "I owe ya one. My name’s Brandy, Brandy Callahan." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic grins.* No problem. M’name’s Nic. So, what’s up with that boat of yers? *She looks down again.* Looks like ye got off just in time. *Nic chuckles.* Well...I s’pose you’d better go on and talk to Cap’n. Jack Sparrow..I’m sure you’ve heard of ’im. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brandy Callahan - [eventual]Jack’s crew "Jack Sparrow?!" Brandy half-yelps. "Sure, I’ve heard of him. My dad was something of a fan. I grew up hearing about him. As to the boat, well...it’s kinda a long story. Basically, my dad’s ship, the Wild Card, got attacked and overrun. Dunno who by, but Allen Deuchar, the first mate, said it was pirates. Anyway, Dad bundled me into that boat and got me off the ship and when I looked back, the Card was in flames. So I started back here, and here I am. Somewhere along the line, the boat started leaking." she shrugs. "So where is Cap’n Sparrow?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic nods.* I see. I’m sorry...about the ship. *She mumbles something about it probably being Barbossa and his crew.* Cap’n? *She waves her hand.* He’s somewhere ’round here. *She grins at Brandy.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shakes~Barbossa’s Crew Man "Aye Captain" Heading towords the trees on the island Shakes looks about "Hmm not much of an Island, go’in to be hard to find shelter." Still he and Murtogg went to the little clump of trees. As they were walking Shakes felt somthing move beneath his feet, he steped again and somthing felt hollow. Bending down he brushed away the sand. "Here Murtogg give me a hand." Toghether they found a trap door. Opening it they discovered the old store room. Shakes yelled back to the others "Captain, I think I may have found a good place to keep the prisoners." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul busted the door open, grabbed Abigail, and shoved her up the stairs. "Yer goin’ on a little trip, lass. Along wi’h yer Missus and her pappy. So get moving!" Barbossa had given Paul strict orders to do that, even though he hadn’t wanted to. Paul softened, and reached his hand out to help her up. "’m sorry about tha’. Listen, d’ye think we could talk for just a bit before we head out? ’m really curious; why is i’ tha’ David never ask’d ye out?" After her answer, they entered the boat, where Elizabeth and the Governor were, and they struck out for Isle DeMuerta, where they all arrived safely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Lettleby~ Norrington’s AWOL Crew David called to his troops, and shouted out, "Ye can go if ye want, but I’m stayin’ here with my Captain. As you may have heard, the captain resigned from his post, and is using these ships to try saving the hostages. You have permission to leave if ye want, and no one’s goin’ to stop ye!" With the end of that, he watched as some of the naval personnel left, angry and bewildered, while most stayed, ready to fight beside the Captain and David.

Aundiul-Jack’s crew Aundiul sees the newcomer and walks towards her. "Hello my name is Aundiul. What’s yurs?" She asks eyeing the stranger. The girl was completely soaked. "Well no matter you can tell me later. You need to get dried off!" She leads the girl off down to her cabin and grabs a towel she throws it to her. "Do you have a change of clothes?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Jacks Crew Woman Saber stopped in the middle of another prank, and stared at Rose opened mouthed. "Norrington did what?" But there was no time for further explinations. Captain Jack came on board and started to issue orders. "Aye aye Captain" Rushing to the rigging, she climbed up to finnish opening the sails to catch all of the wind that was blowing. Even though she was a prankster, she was there when duty called. As she worked she wondered about Norrington. "Well if I heard down there what I thought I heard, I guess I wont have to be worr’in about be’in cought by him no more." She said to herself with a grin. "I wonder if he’ll recognize me in this getup. Must make a mentel note to introduce meself when I get the chance." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ally Black-Port Royale "Outlaw" *Ally nodded to Norrington and David and turned to return to the Dauntless. She walked aboard and called the crew to her, waiting to tell them of what had happened on shore.* Men, Commodore Norrington has resigned from the Navy because he would not arrest Jack Sparrow. Now, Officer Lettleby and myself are behind Norrington, and we shall follow him, but if you want, you may leave and keep your honor. You have yourselves to look after, and no man will be thought less of if he goes. But if you’re going to stay, get ready to sail! *Ally nodded and walked up to the helm. She looked behind her and smiled as the men tried to decide what to do. She saw one or two of them walk off of the ship, but the majority of the crew stayed aboard. Ally smiled. Norrington had always been very good to his crew, and he was now going to be repayed with their loyalty. Ally kept her eyes on the other two ships to watch for a sign of departure.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Those around the girl at the helm of the Black Pearl can almost feel the happiness exuding from her as her hands lightly caress the wheel of the ship. Rose is grinning into the horizon, looking serene on the outside, but ready to scream with exhileration inside. The wind blows her shoulder-length dark brown hair from her face; Jack, next to her, is directing her course, and she follows it, happy to be here with her father, her (hopefully) friends, and the ship she’s steering. "Life is bloody good," she breathes, grinning. Suddenly, there are some yells about someone next to the Pearl. Pricking up her hearing, Rose gathers it’s a girl in a sinking boat. "Seems to be a popular mode o’ transportation nowadays," she mutters, grinning. She hears the girl inquire about Jack and waves a hand. "Ahoy there...Brandy, y’said yer name was? The Cap’n’s up ’ere...you lookin t’ join th’ crew, mate?" As Murtogg and Shakes walked into the store room they looked about in the dim light and found dozens of skeletons without heads. "aye i wonder what happened here mate?" said Murtogg to Shakes. "I don’t know." said Shakes hesitantly. "Maybe we should wait for the rest of the crew before we go acheckin out all those tunnels and all." "Aye i’m witch ya mate." agreed Murtogg as they left the room for the crew. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Murtogg-Barbossas crew
"Come you blokes an’ elp us over ere." said Murtogg. "There’s somethin not aright down there. Shakes~Barbossa’s Crew Man "Well Murtogg judging by the empty barrles and jugs." Here Shakes potinted down on of the short tunnels that had dead end. "It looks like a illeagel rum trade post." He walked over and picked up a jug, which was empty. "And it looks like Sparrow found this place last time we marroned him." He said with disgust. "Well if we get this place cleaned up we can put the prisoners down here for safe keeping." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria~ Amelia Turner-Jaks Crew Maria Comes on Deck and sees t the new comer " well well what do we have here a newcomer. Well It wouldn’t be welcoming them if we didn’t have a little welcoming party. Who says aye?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swann Elizabeth waited to be rescued. For she worried for Abigail and her father. She also longed to see the face of Will Turner again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He looked over at Brady, wondering exactly how many leaking boats there were in the Caribbean. But he gave her a nod: "Welcome aboard......hope you’ll be living long enough to make it back to Port Royale..." He said, and walked up the deck, amused by the resident turn of events.:
:Seemed he was a bad influence on the Royal Navy...what with converting one of their best commdores into a pirate, and parts of his crew. He laughed, and stood next to Rose, guiding her a bit, but the truth was, she looked very comfortable behind the wheel of the Pearl. The open Sea breeze filled the black sails, and propelled them into the open Caribbean.:
:With a grin he watched his crew, then left Rose at the wheel, pating her shoulder as he left. He climbed up towards the crow’s nest, and looked behind his own ship. The pride of the royal Nazy was sailin’ behind him and for once they weren’t chasing him. The HMS Dauntless and the HMS Interceptor, their sails filled with wind and the crews following a now pirate captain. Things certainly changed in the past year.:
Overhead Jack could feel the makings of a storm. A typical caribbean stom, and his brows knit together a moment. There was a chance his own ship would be separated from Norrinton’s crew. For their sack, he hoped the wind would be merciful and guide them to Isle DeMurta in one piece. He checked his compass, then turned his dark eyes to the Sea, looking at the horizon.: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brandy Callahan - [eventual]Jack’s Crew Brandy grins and catches the towel. "Thanks." she says, getting the worst of the wet out of her clothes. She blinks as the girl who tossed her the towel asks her about a change of clothes. "Well, if I did have ’em, they’re at the bottom of the sea now." She replies, glancing over the side and shrugging. "Don’t matter much t’me. At least I got what I’m wearin’." Hearing someone call her name she looks up to see a girl about her age standing behind the wheel and waving to her. Brandy grins and heads up to the girl and the man standing beside her. "Well, I may as well, if it’s alright with the cap’n, seein’ as I can’t ask ye t’turn round just to take me back to Port Royale, now can I? Suppose I’d better introduce myself. I’m Bradana Callahan, but my dad and his crew called me Brandy. Y’can do the same, I prefer it." She brushes a few damp strands of chocolate-brown hair out of her face and awaits an answer.

Jack Sparrow.
;He looked down from thr crows nest at the girls named Brandy and grinned at her: "Welcome Aboard the Black Pearl!"
:He called to his crew: "We’re in for a storm...tie down the cannons!" Jack said, knowing full well this was gooing to ruin their plans for catching Barbossa soon. "Make sure anything that can be lost on deck is taken below!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will boarded the ship and followed Rose over to the wheel. He had to admit he was a little surprised that Jack did not come rushing over, complaning about so young a girl steering his grand Black Pearl. But he had thought too soon for Jack did come over. Will raised a brow when he did but Jack seemed fine with it.* She is more of a pirate even than I am! *Will laughed, looking between Rose and Jack. As Jack walked off he returned to his feet and patted Rose on the back.* Like father, like daughter eh. *He smiled then heard a commotion at the side of the ship. He followed the crowd and went to see what it was. There below, sat a sinking boat with a lady in it.* Good time of year for leaky boats it seems. Shouldn’t surprise me if we come across more! Good to have you aboard Brandy. *He said, as Brandy was pulled on deck. He gave a nod of his head to her then leaned on the railing and looked out at sea. His heart surged with the desire to see Elizabeth again. And now that they were finally on their way to Isle DeMurta he could not have been more happy. Then noticing the storm was inching ever closer to them he looked up at Jack in the crows nest. Sheilding his eyes from the sun with his hand he called up to the Captain.* Jack, how much longer do you guess we have before the storm hits? Not much longer I should guess! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Jacks Crew Woman A head pops up beside Jack startling him "Captain do you want me to trim the sails a bit?" The face looks at him questioningly "Or should we wait a bit, to get the full benifit of the wind before the storm hits?" Sabers long brown hair blows in the wind, and her blue eyes sparkle with the aproach of the storm. It had been along time since she had faced one, and for some reason or another, was looking forward to it. "So Captain, should I? Or to you just want me to help tie the cannons down? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He glanced down at Will, and came down on a rope to land next to his old partner in crime.: "A couple hours...." He said with a grin. Then he gave Will a good natured laugh: "So just how much a part did you have to play in corruptin’ ol Norrington?" He asked. "I wasn’t near this place for a year..so it couldn not have been me...."
:Jack looked at Will a bit more seriously then added: "Don’t worry mate..I told you a year ago I’d help you find your bonnie lass and keep her safe..I’ll do it again, savvy?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Turned a bit startled by Saber popping up from behind him smiled: "Leave the sails as they are....we’ll take as much wind as we can get before we have to worry bout more important things....savvy?" He looked at the expression on her face and grinned.: "Don’t worry...your storm will come soon enough......" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will watched Jack as he decended the rope, landing beside him. Will smiled a little, it felt like those days long ago when they had set out to save Elizabeth. Then he laughs at the mention of Norrington, glancing over his shoulder back towards the mans boat which was following close behind.* I doubt I had much of a part at all. You know, you are more of an influence than you think!*Will looked away then back to Jack. He shrugged.* I honestly haven’t talked with him all that much. Not as much as I probably should have. I know he still has feelings for her. For Elizabeth I mean. But that doesn’t matter now, as long as we have his alliance I’m happy. *Then he nods slowly when Jack mentions the rescue over a year ago, and says he will help again. Will reaches out and gives Jack a pat on the arm.* Savvy. *He smiles then he too spun around, startled by Sabers sudden appearence. Then he sighs heavily and looks around at the crew scurrying around upon the deck.* Well, Jack, when you give the orders I’ll help bring in the cannons. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aundiul-Jack’s crew Aundiul and Saber tied down some cannons with the help of some others. Aundiul was just as excited as Saber. Their eyes sparkled and their hair blew in the wind. Aundiul looked over at Saber and grinned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose grins and salutes Brandy, then grins at her dad as well. As Will approaches, she has to laugh at his comment. "Me, mate? Doncha know, I’m th’ world’s worst pirate!" She winks at Jack as she delivers this line, then grins at Will again. At the mentions of the storm, Rose looks at Jack out of the corner of her eye, nervously. She remembers what he said about going below when the storm broke out. She had absolutely no intention of doing so just now, but she was afraid he’d insist... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shaun Harper - Jack’s crew Harper hugged the mast with one arm, as he stood on the yardarm above the deck. He was on watch, it was the best view on the ship. Anyway, there wasn’t anything happening. Harper took off his cap and sat down on the yardarm, leaning against the mast. His forehead was wrapped in white linen, having taken a nasty gash on the head during the fight earlier, and he had a few other bumps and burises. Nothing too bad. Harper shrugged. He looks down at the new members of the crew..well, some new and some old. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ally Black-Port Royale Outlaw *Ally stood at the helm of the ship, one hand gripping the wheel and the other at her side. The wind was blowing hard through the Dauntless’s sails and Ally was glad to have finally set sail. Although the Dauntless was the grandest of the three ships, she was also the slowest, and so she was bringing up the rear behind the Interceptor and the Pearl. Ally loved being at sea. She loved the feeling of the wind blowing on her face and the sound of the ocean splashing against the ship. And most of all, she loved sailing because it made her feel free. And Ally had never felt as free as she did right then. She had gone against the law, gone against the Navy, and she had left all of her inhibitions behind her. She ran her hand over her head and her fingers felt the tight braid of hair that fell on her neck. Ally realized that she didn’t have to look so proper anymore. She was no longer an emotionless soldier. She was an outlaw, and she loved it. She let go of the wheel for a moment and began to undo her braid, letting her long, black hair spill over her shoulders recklessly. A few of the crew members looked at her strangely, but she didn’t care. She was finally feeling happy, and even though she could see a storm brewing in front of her, she was unafraid.

David Lettleby~ Norrington’s AWOL Crew David was excited. He had never done something like this before! He was glad they were finally leaving, and more estatic that he was going against what his parents’ wishes were for him. He thought about Paul for a brief moment, wishing that he was back there with him so that they could have done this together, but it was too late to worry about that now. He told his troops, now his band of pirates, that they were still heading for Isle deMuerta and going to try saving all three hostages. David had borrowed some clothes from off of one of Jack’s men, now no longer mad at Sparrow, but respectful of him. David had also found a rag lying around, and tied it around his head. He was going all out for this adventure, wherever it took him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will laughs when Rose accuses herself of being the worlds worst pirate. He looks at Jack then smiles and leans in a little closer to Rose.* Well you haven’t heard much about me then. Im good with a sword and fine on a boat...but that accent a pirate has I have yet to learn. *He then turns and looks out at the approaching storm. The wind had already begun to pick up, tossing his dark hair about his face. He ran his hand through his hair and was both regretting and awaiting the storm. He felt a storm would be an exciting twist so early on in the adventure, especially the hellish ones they had here in the Caribbean. However he regretted its arrival as well for it would slow down the Pearl and make it just that much longer before he could slay those who took his love. He just frowned a little then looked back to Rose.* Im going to go help tie down the cannons and ready the Pearl for the storm. I’ll be back in a bit. *Then he whispered.* When the time comes you can just head below deck with me. I don’t plan on going down until I absolutley have no other choice. *He stands back up and walks away, helping to tie down a couple of the cannons. Then he returns back on deck and leans on the railing, watching Norringtons ship as it ripped through the icy waters. He hopped the boats wouldn’t be seperated in the storm, as it would be an ill twist for their rescue.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shaun Harper - Jack’s crew Getting wind whipped on the yardarm, Harper climbed down. His bare feet hit the deck and Harper turned around and ran right into Rose. "Sorry ’bout that, din’t see ya there," he smiled slightly and ran off again, looking back again and tripping over some ropes on the deck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria ( Amelia Turner)- Jacks Crew Maria went up deck to see the whole crew working. She goes up to one of the crew member to ask if she could help " Is there anything I can do mate. I mean I am part of this crew. What shall I do?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sarah Fleming- The Black Pearl *Sarah is slightly confused by the Commodore’s ’generoursity’. And she quickly refuses it.* No, no Commodore, I’m truly not that cold! *Sarah quickly hands him back his jacket and skirts off with Rose, Jack, and Will. As soon as Rose is listening to Will and Jack converse Sarah gives her a sharp poke in the ribs.* Rose, my dear, you haven’t talked to me this whole journey. Actually you’ve been rather ignoring me! Do talk to me, I don’t have anyone else to talk to! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Captain Patrick Norrington---Outlaw....
Norrington had quickly taken off his white haired wig which dignified him as a high ranking officer and respected citizen in the eyes of the British. His short cut brown hair finally matched his eyes...eyes that were looking at a nasty storm rearing its head dead ahead...
Ah no...ya got to be kiddin mah?? DAVID!!! Git tha men batted down, hald on friend, we’re in foh a rough ’un.
Then turning around to the Dauntless, he yelled as loud as he could, hoping Ally would hear
Ahoy Dauntless....Batten down ya cannons....gale up ahead, rough one, ’urry up!!
Norrington turned back, held on to the wheel, and prepared for the worst as soldiers scrambled to fix the deck for a storm... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria( Amelia Turner) - Jacks Crew Maria slipps and slides with the rocking of the boat. She grabs the side and looks straight ahead to a nasty storm. " we better start bracing mates. I see a nasty storm ahead." She struggles to sit next to Sarah hoping to strike up a conversation with her but sees she had asked Rose a question so she waits patiently nearby. Her mind floats back to the braceleet and what it meant to her. Why was it so important. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swann( Turner) " this is it I’ve had enough" Elizabeth runs to the deck and Demands to speak with someone she had had enough adn wanted to go home and see her dear husband Again. She looks down at her wrist seeing the bracelett that cursed pirate gave her seeing Wills Initials on the bottom made her think of will more. " oh I miss you" she sighed and said to her self as she waited for a pirate to come along and asnwer her request. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Lettleby~ Norrington’s AWOL Crew David heard the captain’s request and immediately called for ten men to help secure the cannons to the deck, then told them to get settled in the hold while they rode out the storm. David could feel the wind whip through, his now baggy, stained shirt puffing up. He felt some spray, and knew that it was going to be one heck of a storm. "Cap’n! I’m waiting the storm ou’ here with ye!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul ran into Elizabeth and grinned at her. "Hey, lassie. What are ye shoutin’ fer? What ’tis it ye want?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brandy Callahan - Jack’s Crew Brandy grins, then sets off to help get the cannon secured. The wind was picking up already and it looked to be a real fighter, as her father used to say. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ End of The Red Dawn Rising ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose smiles gently at Will; a true smile, not her usual rougish grin. She likes the young man; likes his unusual mix of pirate and respectable man - it’;s a refreshing change from all the roughness around her. "Sounds like a plan t’me, mate," she tells him, swatting his shoulder gently before turning to Sarah with an apologetic grin. "Sorry, mate...s’pose y’could say I’ve ’ad a lot on me mind." The wind starts blowing harder...Rose holds tightly to the wheel, making sure her slender form isn’t blown off the ship. "You sure the Pearl can ’old, Dad?" Rose calls over the winds; Jack’s reply is his usual one of bravado and pride for his ship. Rose smiles tolerantly and rolls her eyes. "Anythin’ on your mind, mate?" she asks Sarah. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swann Turner Elizabeth ses that one has come forward. "I would like to get off this ship. " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swan/Turner
Elizabeth sighed, and as the pirates nodded their head to her demand, she looked up puzzled. They’d agreed? She then saw why. They were now off to the island, a familiar island indeed, and when she got there, she remembered exactly where she was. She fidgeted and planned as she watchd the island come closer and stepped upon the soft sand. She was led ashore and stopped, then she sa with Abigail and her father, looking hopefully at them. She’d have an idea soon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul laughed. "Get off this ship? Well, lass, we’re on the island ye were before, ye pretty little thing. An’ don’ worry, I don’t bite." He grinned. "Now let me ask ye a question: Is Abby sweet with David Lettleby?" He hoped that would spark something in the woman, seeing as how she was already in a bad situation as it was. But he never expected her reaction to be what it was. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria (Amelia Turner) Maria was trying to brace the storm. "Where are we?!!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:His eyes were as dark as the storm clouds rising on the horizon and soon they were experiencing high gusts of wind, and Jack took over the helm, trusting nobody but his own instincts to guide his precious ship through the storm:
:Lash down the cannons mates!" He shouted over what was now becoming gale force winds. His eyes were wild and glittered dangerously now. This was Jack in his element. Braving storms, and laughing at the danger of it all. He looked around for Rose and shouted over to her: "GET BELOW!" He bellowed. "I DON’T WANT YOU SAILIN’ OVERBOARD!" To his crew, he kept sharp eyes on. Not wanting them to go overboard either. He had a good sense of where i nthe Sea they were. They were near that God Forsaken spit of land Barbosa had marooned him on twice before. They’d be there soon.:
:A over it all...he was singing, howling into the wind really..."yo ho you ho..." Knowing damn well if his crew didn’t think him insane before, they would now: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swann/ Turner She was shocked by pauls Question. " I beg your pardon. What did you say?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew "I ask’d ye if Abby was sweet with David Lettleby. Now is she or isn’t she?" He waited, hoping for a reply soon. They were all ready inspecting a place to put all three prisoners. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria ( Amelia Turner)- Jacks Crew Maria heard Jacks Request and went to go tie down the cannons.She got up and suddenly a jerk pulled her to the side. She nearly fell overbaord. But the crew could only see her hand clinging to the side. She shouted for help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will stood there, his elbows resting on the rail of the ship, while his chin rested upon his fists. He looked out over the water thinking about his Elizabeth and wondering what she was doing at this very moment. Was she okay? Were they treating her well?* Of course they aren’t, they’re filthy pirates! *Will growled, suddenly realizing he had said that out loud. He looked around to see if anyone on the deck had heard him and he suddenly felt bad for his choice in words. His eyes scanned across the faces of the pirates all around him. They were magnificant people who were helping him rescue what he loved most in the world. Elizabeth. He would do anything for her, even give up his life...if it meant letting hers go on. He sighed.* Well those pirates are filthy. *He said, correcting himself. Then he begins to drift into a day dream again when he is suddenly torn from it, stumbling backwards after a large gust of wind swept across the boat. He quickly grabbed ahold of the rail and looked outwards. The waters were growing more and more choppy by the minuet and the clouds were rolling faster, getting blacker as they came. Another gust nearly toppled him over. He rushed over to Jack and looked at him.* The storms almost here Jack! I hope we’re able to ride this thing out! After all we’ve been through in the past I’d hate to think it was a bit of rain and wind that finally got rid of us! *Will grinned, adding a little humor to the situation.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swann/ Turner She was frustrated she was not to answer any questions dealing with her dear friend Abigail. " I will not answer any questions dealing with Abby nor my Father" and with that she ran as fast as she could to Abby. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Just as Will had been waiting to see what Jack wanted done he heard a cry and glanced behind his shoulder, just in time to see one of the crew members fall overboard. His heart sank to his stomach as he realized it was his little sister Maria.* NO! MARIA! *He cried rushing over, prepared to dive overboard to save her. But he saw her dangling there. He quickly grabbed ahold of her arms and began to pull with all his strength.* Maria grab ahold of me, don’t let go you here! *He cried, as he tugged harder. It was harder than he had expected due to the wind but he managed to pull her back on deck. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.* Ah, Maria. Stay away from the edges will you. Stay with me alright. Please. *He said grabbing her face gently as he looked at her, his eyes filled with a parents worry.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria (Ameila Turner) Maria was pulled back aboard by Will She gasped as her heart pumped fiercly. " Alright.. I’ll stay with you." and with that she grabbed his arm and held it tightly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul frowned. He couldn’t get an answer either through Abby or Elizabeth! Out of frustration, he roared, "GET THEM INTO THE HOLD!" He stalked over to the three prisoners, roughly forcing them to walk towards what they had decided to call a "cell" and slammed the door shut. "I’ll be back later," he growled through the slits, hoping they would behave next time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Lettleby~ AWOL Crew David sputtered the water out of his mouth, and held on tight. He had never been through a gale as bad as this one, and he hoped never to again. "Cap’n! Keep after the Pearl; don’t let’er out of yer sight!" he bellowed, hoping the Captain could hear him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ally Black-Outlaw! *Ally had her eyes on the Interceptor sailing in front of her, and she watched as Norrington came to the back of the ship. He had taken off his wig, and she could see his brown hair. Ally was surpirised at how handsome he looked when he wasn’t wearing that hideous wig. He called out to her, and the wind carried his words into her ears. She heard him and saluted as a sign that she understood. She too had seen the storm that was brewing in front of them. She yelled down to the crew to make sure that all of the canons were tied down very securely. The wind was beginning to blow much harder, and Ally hoped that the storm wouldn’t be too dangerous. She gripped the wheel with both hands to keep it steady as she looked on at the oncoming storm.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swann/ Turner Elizabeth was furious. BUt kept her temper hidden. Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose had been enjoying hearself immensely. Steering the ship in the storm only made her all the more ecstatic. She was definitely in her element. Upon hearing Jack’s demand, she groaned, but let go of the wheel, meaning to make her way across the deck and into the cabins below. The wind, however, had other ideas. Once Rose let go of the wheel, her slender form was battered by the wind, and she was blown practically across the deck. She slammed into the side of the ship and let out a hiss of pain. Getting to her feet, she grabbed the side of the ship...but just then, the Pearl was hit with a wave of water so intense, it rocked the side of the ship, and Rose was thrown overboard. Spluttering wildly, the girl decided that now was a rather good time to panic. She screamed and tried desperately to wave her arms enough to be seen by either Norrington’s ships or the Pearl, though that was quite a job in this weather. But weakened by the storm and her previous fatigue, Rose could only manage a few cries before she went unconscious, slowly beginning to sink... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria ( Amelia Turner) She was confused. Why couldn’t she be up here with all the others. " But why do I have to be below. I know for a fact Rose won’t budge. nomatter what you say or do." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will nodded at Maria when she agreed to stay with him. When she clutched his arm he wrapped his arms around her tightly and struggled to move towards the center of the boat. The wind blew the rain around, making it nearly impossible to see anything. The rain bit at his face like small needles as he forced his way to it. Finally he made his way back to the wheel where Rose had been. Then to his horror he noticed she wasn’t there anymore. He scanned the deck but couldn’t see a thing. Will then looked over at Maria and frowned.* I know you don’t want to go inside but you’re too young Maria. I’ve already got one woman to worry about I don’t need another! *He shouted above the wind. His eyes pierced hers as a look of worry went over them. The expression upon his face begged her to go inside where it was safe. He led her over to the cabin door and hugged her tightly before parting. Then he heard a scream.* Rose? *He cried, rushing over to the edge. As he peered over he saw her flailing about in the water.* Jack Rose went overboard! *Will screamed, then he quickly dove over the edge and wrapped his arm around her waist, screaming at the top of his lungs for help.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack who had been watching his daughter let out a cry, then leapt from the helm, grabbing a rope while shouting at Will: "TAKE THE WHEEL!" He tied a rope around his waist, and made sure it was hooked up to some part of the ship, then executed a perfect swan dive into the water after Rose:
:The water was to bloody cold he thought as he hit the frigid dark waters. Swimming furiously in the water, he made his way towards her, then grabbed her around the waist: "I got you!" He said, and then order her to hang on to him. Sputtering water, Jack began climbing back to the Pearl, noting some of his crew had grabbed hold of the rope and were trying to pull him back in. As they made their way up the side of the ship, Jack kept one arm firmly around Rose, sputtering and held on:
:They tumbled overboard with a gasp and Jack lay on the deck a moment confused as to what just happened. then he looked over at Rose, his dark eyes worried: "Are you alright?" He asked her, patting her back, and he grinned: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria ( Amelia Turner) Maria Looked out the cabin Window seeing Will dive down. What had happened. She wondered if someone had gone overboard. She was lucky that she had not fallen in and with that she pushed her cabin door. But it was locked. " I can’t beleive Will locked me in" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber-Jacks Crew Woman Saber quickly tied a rope about her waist as the storm grew harder. She was a little foolish at times but not stupid. As she struggled to tie the last of the cannon down, she heard a faint yell. At first she thought it was just the Captain giving out more orders, but soon she realized it was coming from off the ship. rushing to the rail she thought she saw somthing in the water. Not even stopping to think, Saber dove overboard. She realized then how good an idea it was to tie a rope about her. Seeing a form go under, she tried to go after it, but her rope was not long enough. Saber was being draged with the ship, so grabing her rope huled herself back aboard. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Will Turner *Somehow Will had lost his grip on Rose and got pulled under by the thrashing waves of the storm. He saw a figure dive in and rescue her. He sputtered back to the top, gasping for a breath and trying to stay a float.* Jack! Jack I think you’ve forgotten something! *Will cried then seeing Saber dangling from the side. He cried out again* Saber! *Then Saber hoisted herself back up. He looked around in shock and disbelief, thinking that he was going to die right there in the crule icy waters of the Caribbean.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He glanced over the side, then at the helm where Will should have been then back at the water. He saw Will, laughed and dove back in, swimming over to him he grabbed his wrist: "Hey mate....playing a hero again are you?" He was grinning and pulled Will towards the ship, laughing the whole time: "Thanks for keeping a sharp eye on me daughter...." He said, making sure will could climb back up, he waited, watching to mae sure Turner didn’t lose his grip, he waited: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maria saw her brothe r struggle she finally broke the door open she ran to the deck and with out thinking she tied a rope and dove into the icy waters to help will. But through all that she was pushed down into the water. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria ( Amalia Turner) Maria Sank Lower and lower until she hit the ocean floor.Her whole life seemed to rush by inside her head. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will was still coughing and struggling to stay atop the furocious waves when he looked up and noticed Jack, looking over the edge laughing at him.* Stop laughing and help me up bloody fool! *Will cried. Then Jack leaped in and grabbed ahold of his wrist, helping him get a grip on the ship. He grabbed tightly and began making his way up. Finally he managed to pull himself over the side. He plopped down on the deck floor and coughed feircly. Finally he got to his feet and patted Jack on the arm, looking up at him. He stood up straighter and smiled.* Thats what I get for trying to be a hero. *He laughed at himself.* Thanks Jack. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
Jack nodded ,but looked around. He was doing a head count. Maria? He looked around then without waiting for a reply from anyone he dived over the side again, this time without a rope tied to himself. He left it dangling overboard. He sank, diving lower and lower until he spotted something moving that wasn’t a clump of seweed. What the bloody hell was going on with ladies flying overboard?:
:He grabbed her around the waist, and began swimming, cmuttering curses, and swearng and grumbling he wanted rum badly as his head broke the surface of the water. He swam frantically, not able to get his bearings, then he saw the Pearl looming not far away. He struggled to swim....but he was only human, finally he just clutched hold of the rope he left hanging:
:He clung to it, nearly drowning, and finally he began climbing, the wet clothes weighing him down. He swore and cursed......inventing new words along the way....and swore some more. Beggin god almighty for rum......swearing.....and he fianlly tied the rope around Maria’s waist, then he took hold of the rope. It was ne of the most akward things he’d done and climbed finally crumbling in a heap on the deck, Maria next to him. He just lay still...unsure if he was alive or not: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria She lay unconcies on the deck floor. For she was cold as ice. She tried to wake herself up but coulnd’t. was she dead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will had just gotten ready to rush back to the cabin to see if Maria was inside when he saw Jack fly overboard again.* What in bloody hell was that for? *He cried out, stumbling towards the edge again with the fierce rocking of the ship. As he gazed down his breath caught in his throat when he saw who Jack was holding. It was Maria. He kneeled down beside both Jack and Maria as they lay there, unmoving on the deck floor. He went to Maria first, looking her over. Then he scooped her up.* Jack, get up! Someone keep an eye on Jack, he’s a bit out of it! *Then Will rushed Maria into the cabin and slammed the door behind him, laying her upon the bed he began patting her cheek.* Maria, Maria wake up. Come on now open your eyes! *He said, tears swelled up in his brown eyes as he looked down at this innocent little girl, lying there lifeless. He blamed himself for not keeping a better eye on her.* Maria don’t you do this to me, wake up! *He screamed.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Captain Barbossa *Barbossa, after having sent Shakes and Murtogg to shore, went to find Paul, who was supposed to be looking after the prisoners. He found him wandering around on deck, muttering something about a David...* "Where be Miss Swann? Why isn’t she with you? I told ya ta keep a sharp eye on ’er! ... Arg, no matter. Go an’ prepare a boat! We’re goin’ ashore." *Barbossa goes down to the brig, where the three captives are being held. He unlocks their door, and leads them all to the deck, where Paul waits with a boat.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maria tryed again and again to wake up but couldn’t. She then heard Wills voice and woke up gasping for air coughing out water that she had swallowed when drowning. She then saw will at her side and smiled to him ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He was silently cursing himself. His eyes still closed. He waited a bit before he dared to move. when he did, he simply turned over onto his side and coughed up a fair amount of water then lay back again. He heard Brandy asking if he was alright. :
"Rum?" He asked, prayin to any just and loving god out there, beggin for some rum, for at this moment he wanted nothing more then that. He’d heard Will take Maria and run. Well she was safe. Then he opened his eyes just enough toi see out of them: "Where’s Rose?" He asked, worried, and suddenly he was alert. "ROSE?!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brandy Callahan - jack’s Crew Brandy, who’d taken the precaution of a rope round her waist and secured to a belaying pin, watches the wind take its toll and shakes her head. Carefully picking her way across the deck, she makes her way over to Jack and Maria, getting there just a few moments behind Will. Muttering under her breath, she takes off her vest, which is slightly dryer than either Jack or Maria, and starts making sure Jack’s OK. "Cap’n? You there?" She asks, then realizes something. With Jack on teh deck half-drowned, the ship was steering herself. As Nic came over to see who was flat on deck, Brandy glanced at her. "Take care o’ the cap’n, Nic." she says then, swearing under her breath, she sprints as well as you can on a rocking ship to the wheel, grabbing it and trying to keep the Pearl on course.

Shaun Harper - Jack’s crew Harper watched the action happening on deck, arriving too late to help. He saw Will run into the cabin with Maria and figured that anything that might help would be well..helpful. He ran below and grabbed one of the extra blankets and than ran back up to the cabin. Taking off his cap, being inside and in the presence of a lady even one of the crew, and holding the blanket out. "Begging your pardon, Mr. Will, sir, but I thought that Maria might be wanting to be kept warm. ’Tis a cold sea and would do worse if a body doesn’t get warm after being out in it," the Irishman said quickly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will smiles at the sight of Maria smiling back up at him. He pulls her into a hug thankful that she is alive and a little angry at her for not staying put. But he hadn’t the time to argue with her now, he needed to get back to Jack and make sure everything was alright with him. He grabs some of his own clothes from the closet and tosses them to Maria.* They’ll be rather baggy on you but at least they are dry. Now stay here while I go check on Jack. *He rushed over to the door and grabbed the knob, then he glanced over his shoulder back towards Maria.* Like I said Maria I’ve already lost Elizabeth and don’t even know if I’m ever going to see her again. I don’t want to loose you too. Please stay put this time. *Then he reached on his stand by the doorway, grabbing the small bottle of rum that sat there, still completley full and rushed out to Jack. He patted him on the shoulder and smiled.* You saved her Jack don’t worry. And here, here’s some Rum for you mate. *He said, helping the Captain to his feet.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Snort-Crew of the damned Snort was holding on to the Pearl for dear life. How much longer could his cursed hands cling to the side of the boat during this storm. What a life, no atter what, I’m gona spend a damned life in the botom of de ocean. He had to hang on as long as he can to tell Barbossa of Rose. Opefully I won;t be staken for a man oveboard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic looks over to see what’s going on. She sees a bunch of people jumping overboard and raises her eyebrows.* What the bloody hell is going on? *She mutters. She nods and grins at Brandy as she hears Jack’s call for rum.* Will do, Cap’n. *She runs back to where she had been sitting and grabs her bottle of rum. She walks back over to him and hears Will say he has rum. She shrugs and assumes more than enough rum is good, besides, it won’t go to waste.* You okay, Cap’n? Rose...I think..*she glances over at the unconscious Rose and cringes. She knows Jack won’t want to hear this.* Uh, Cap’n. Rose is unconscious. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber-Jacks Crew Woman Saber sat on the deck panting. After her attempted rescue of whoever had fallen over board first, she had missed all the other action. She groaned as she heaved herself up. "Oooh must have hit me head climbing back on board." She staggered below and threw herself on her bunk, but then rememberd that help would be needed during the storm. Pulling herself from the bunk she scrambled back on deck. grabing a rope she pulled herself towards the rigging. The sails would need to be pulled in, or they would be destroyed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Just as Will was about to rush out to Jack a man stepped in and handed him a blanket. Will quickly handed it back to the Irishman and smiled.* Thank you lad, why don’t you give it to her. Look after her a moment and make sure she’s okay, ive gotta see Jack. *Then Will rushed out* (And did whatever he did in my previous post *g*) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack’s wild dark eyes scanned the deck, taking in what was going on around him and when he saw Will he took the bottle of rum and downed it in a single go.: "Thanks mate...." He said and tossed the bottle overboard. He staggered a bit, trying to breath. His lungs were burning from the salt water and he coughed violently a minute or two before pulling himself together:. Then he began shouting:
"ALL CREW NOT NEEDED ON DECK I WANT BELOW !" His voice was commanding, daring anyone to question him. "Secure the lower decks and yerselves! We’ll be out of this storm soon." He gave Will a grateful, mischievous look, completly back to his old self. He went over to the helm and nodded at Brandy in thanks:
:He had kept Rose in his sight the entire time. but now he called her over and said to her very gently, but in a voice that told her to not argue: "I want you below deck...with Maria and Tobbs...savvy?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brandy Callahan - Jack’s Crew Brandy nodded and let go of the wheel as Jack took over again. Glad to see him back up, she heads back to stand near the rigging. She’s weathered enough storms on the Wild Card to know that when something needs doing in teh middle of a storm it has to be done fast and she intends to do her best to see it gets that way as soon as it’s needed. She tightens the rope round her waist and braces herself against the mast, keeping an eye on the storm clouds. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will watched as Jack downed the bottle of rum in a single go. A large smile smeared across his lips as he watched Jack return to his old self again. He nodded his head when Jack thanked him then rose to feet and trotted over to Jack. When he finished giving his instructions to Rose he placed his hand firmly on Jacks shoulder and looked him straight in the eye, a slight grin still remaining on his lips as he dared the Captains words.* Im not going below deck Jack Sparrow. Not until you do that is. *His brown eyes sparkled and flashed.* Why should you get all the excitment? *Then he whispered as if to defend himself about the entire overboard incident which had greatly involved him.* And techinically I didn’t go overboard on accident, I jumped otherwise it would never have happened! So I think I’ll be just fine right here beside you. *He grinned again and waited to see what Jack would say, although he knew Jack would more than likley cuff him in the head again.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber-Jacks Crew Woman Hearing Jacks command to go below, Saber abandoned her atempts to get to the sails. Though she was like a cat in fair weather, in this storm, moving was difficult even for her. Practicly falling below deck, Saber again makes her way to her bunk. "Well isnt this a beut of a storm, and to think I was lookin forward to it." she said to no one in paticular, with a small grin on her drenched face. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs walked cheerfully down the streets, the salty smell of the ocean floating upon the winds. She looked up at the sky...twould be a bad storm indeed...she would hurry back to the Pearl when she was done.
She too was also unnerved by her hug to the Cap’n. Twas not purposely planned, rather it just happened, which confuzzled her. But for some reason something happy about hugging him made her smile.
She hadn’t really shopped before, nonetheless actually gotten something for herself, other than rum, food, etc., nor had anyone given her anything, so she was happy indeed, though didn’t know what to do exactly...
She had been lookin through the windows when she saw something that caught her eye. When she entered the store, she stood in the midst of dresses and jewelry. She felt the silky fabric and admired the clothing, then suddenly, her mind went into a memory, childish laughter echoed about, and a little girl stood before the mirror, one that resembled herself, in a beautiful lavender dress.
A lady, slim and young as herself, saw Tobbs a bit dazed, and walked over welcoming her. Tobbs jumped, startled at first, then suprised the young woman hadnt seen her clothes and threw her out, for she, after all, was in trousers and a large blouse, and the other in a lovely dress. The lady kept smiling, and called out the names of two others, who, when seeing Tobbs, smiled also and rushed over, one tall and a bit older, the other younger and a bit short and stout. They looked up and down atTobbs, then, looked at eachother and nodded.
Tobbs was suddenly put behind a dressing curtain, and the stout woman and the tall one were helping her put on a ocean blue dress with pearl white laces in the front that crisscrossed. Twas an English dress, but wasn’t required to wear a corset luckily, as they said, and before she could view herself in the mirror, the pretty lady, young as herself, brought her to a bowl of water and washed and timmed her golden, sable hair. Twas all she needed, to se herself before a mirror, but when she was shoved approvingly by the three, she looked at her reflection aazingly. She wasn’t hideous at all, and the others thought her to be beautiful. And she was, but of course, she didn’t consider herself so.
She tried on three others, but the last, a lavender color, needed a corset, and as she sighed and jerked every time they pulled, she was able to mutter something about "the english weren’t taught how to breathe". In the end, she bought three, the ocean blue, the silky maroon, and a dark green. She was given two other hair pieces by the proud trio, and with a wave, she was off, three packages in her hand, though she changed into her clothes and tied her silky hair into a pony.
Tobbs bought a few other things, consisting of juicy red apples, a keg of rum to be shipped to the Pearl for the crew, and went to the blacksmith’s to sharpen her favorite sword and to muster a few bullets with her last coins. She trotted off back to the ship, just as a lightning streak broke through the sky.
Tobbs began to run to the Pearl and boarded as quickly as she could, putting the packages below where her maroon cabin was. She then rushed on the deck and helped prepare the ship for departure.
The winds raged on, and the rain poured unceasingly as the sea splashed upon the deck. She helped put the cannons down and fixed the sails, then was pulled aside by the Cap’n once again to go below and remain on deck. She sadly nodded her head, for the rush of the storm excited her happily, but twas the Cap’n’s orders. She helped those back aboard before she saluted the Cap’n and Will, then walked off below, making sure Rose was safely below in her room. She went into her cabin and shut the door, then opened the packages, her eyes glittering when she saw the presents Jack had basically given her, for twas his gold. She went behind the changing curtain and put on the maroon dress, which was a deep and rich color, and stood before the mirror. She let her hair tumble down, glad the lady had trimmed it and made it silky. She took off the bandana, and as the storm raged on, all she could do, was smile... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Thatcher--Elizabeth Swann-Turner’s maid
Abby walked back and forth, pacing the cell restlessly. She couldn’t believe that Paul locked them all up in a cell just because Miss Elizabeth refused to answer his questions about Mr. David Lettleby. She remembered his angry expression when her mistress refused to provide information about Abby and Mr. Lettleby. Abby was grateful that Miss Elizabeth was a discreet and honorable woman who wouldn’t betray a friend in need. But fear and concern for Mr. Lettleby was gnawed at her. She was afraid Paul would do some harm to the noble Port Royal Captain. She walked back and forth thinking of various scenarios. Abby’s pacing apparently was annoying to Governor Swann for he spoke sharply to her, "Stop that I say!...I am getting weary of the sound of your footsteps." Abigail blushed, mumbled a quick apology before sitting down. She turned to Miss Elizabeth, whispered,"Miss..why do you suppose that pirate...the pirate named Paul..is so curious about Mr. Lettleby? Do you not think Paul has a vague resemblance to Mr. Lettleby?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swan/Turner
Elizabeh nodded her head as Abigail spoke. Twas good to be back with them, though she knew they’d be seperated soon...bloody scoundrels... They do look vaguely alike...tis odd indeed...they look as relatives. But Mr. Letterby would have no association with such a creature, or at least I suppose he wouldn’t, for he’s a respectable person! She sighed, remembering Port Royale, and her Will, and wondered what he was doing that moment. She smiled at Abigail, trying to cheer the already spooked girl, and looked out across the sea. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sarah Fleming- The Black Pearl (aka The Ship with People Constantly Jumping Overboard) *Sarah watches as numberous people fall overboard, and numberous people jump in to catch them. Sarah waits until Will carries Maria to his cabin, before running off in search of a few supplies. Sarah rushes back to Jack and quickly hands him a few things.* Captain Jack here I brought you a blanket and rum. And I’ll bring Rose to my cabin sir, make sure she’s alright. *Sarah runs over to Rose, helping her up while throwing a blanket around her.* Rose, come with me to my cabin. You may sleep there tonight, if you please. But at least now come and lie down, I can fix you some tea if you please. *As soon as Sarah sees that Rose is comfortable, Sarah runs to Will’s cabin and knocks on the door.* Will, it’s me, Sarah. May I come in? I have extra blankets! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aundiul-Jack’s crew Aundiul walked slowy over to Saber a rope tied around her waist, too. (They seem to be the latest fashion ) "Are you ok mate? I know you probably want to stay above deck but you might want to go get a bandage around that big bump before you try to." She helped her friend up and waited for her answer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sasha AKA Sara Turner *Sasha had slipped into the cabin her little sister, Amalia, was in after Will had left it. She sat in the bunk directly opposite of the one the girl was in and just staired at her, wonder in her eyes. This was the life she had run away from, one with an amazing brother, and an adventureing little sister. But she was glade she had left, mostly.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria( Amelia Turner)- Maria ( Amelia) had already slipped on the clothes Wil gave her and saw that her older sister sasha had come in. " Hello Sasha" I’m sorry if I worried the crew much but..." Her mind remebred that rose had fallen as well"...is Rose alright?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack just grinned at Will and laughed: "Aye! We’ll make a full pirate of you yet!" He shouted over the gale, and cuffed Will once more, simply to remind him he wasn’t as intelligent as he liked to think:
:He placed his hands firmly on the whell, and then took out his compass. He knew where Isle DeMurta was......but they’d never make it in this storm:
’We’ll have to make berth nearby!" He said, looking at Will. "The Pearl is a stready ship, but I’d be a fool to risk all our lives when she’s been damaged....." His dark eyes looked around the storm tossed Sea and he frowned. "I know of an island........all to familar with it...but it’ll make a good place to stop......." He watched as some of his crew hurried below deck and made sure Rose was among them, silently grateful the crew was looking out for her when he himself could not:
"How is Maria?" He asked Will, as if this were a perfectly normal cruise. "Hope she didn’t swallow to much sea water...." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sasha AKA Sara Turner *Sasha smiled at her little sister and answered her question.* "Yes, she’s fine. Are you Ok?" *She looked worriedly at her sister.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria( Amelia Turner)- She smiled back gently at Sasha " Yes I’m fine I just swallowed some seawater and got a little salt water in the slit in my wrist. but other than that I’m fine. I’m telling you I was lucky ol’ Cap’n Jack was nearby to rescue me. Aye?".." Um I’m sorry I ran after Will like that its just that I’ve found him and you and I didn’t want to lose it again, I’m sorry I’m a pirate I act on instinct." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jack Sparrow.
:He turned to Will: "I’m going below....I need to check on Rose and me crew....I’m trusting you not to get thrown overboard....." He stopped, thought about it, then tied a rope to the deck, then around Will’s waist. "Actually...I don’t trust you to not get thrown overboard....so just makin’ sure...savvy?" He grinned at Will, and headed below, calling back at him: "Try not to do anything too stupid...."
nce below the first people he ran into were Maria and Sasha. Will’s sisters. Jack was a person of many secrets. He’d know about these girls for a while, but had never uttered a single word about them. Not to Barbossa, Rose......anyone.....the only reason he had told Will he was Bootstrap’s child was because of the incidents suroudning them nearly a year ago. And Will had....sort of found out on his own. He had planned to keep Bootstrap’s children safe from whatever curses their father might have brought down on them, on accident or on purpose:
"Are you feeling alright then?" He asked Maria. "Will’s worried about you...." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria ( Amelia Turner) While waiting for Sasha’s reply Jack Barged in the cabin and asked if she was alright. " Yes jack I’m fine.I thank you for saving my life" She smiles at Jack. But then remembers what Jack had told her earlier. " You said I had no other relatives. you said no one else survived that shipwreck." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack nodded at Maria, then sighed: "Some times, lass....you’re better off not knowin’ some things...savvy?" He gave Sasha and Maria a glance. "O’ course I should have known if you were anything like your brother you’d be to hard headed to take my word on the matter......" Jack smiled faintly, to anyone watching, his expression might not have changed at all. "Well...good to see all of Bootstrap’s children are together again....never could figure on who all of you would meet up....."
:He tipped his dripping wet hat at them, then left, in search of the rest of his crew. He found Rose and Sarah, then making sure they too were safe and sound, he made for the deck, where Will stood. He nudged his compaion over a bit then laughed. "The Pearl’s still holdin’ together I see...." He said. "If our luck holds so will Norrington’s Dauntless and Interceptor....." He turned, looking for Norrington’s fleet in the mess. He thought he might have seen white sails behind them but he wasn’t sure. Hopefully Norington had everything under control.: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sasha AKA Sara Turner *Sasha looked up at her Captain and nodded.* Cap’n, you feelin ok? I think you got worse off then Maria. You sure you don’t need to rest? We have extra blankets." *Sasha looked up at Jack questioningly, wondering what her brother was up to.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will was standing beside Jack, when he happened to glance towards the cabin and see a young girl rush in there with blankets. He assumed that Sarah had thought he was still in there when she knocked and called for him. But he knew that Maria would let her in so he turned again and looked at Jack. Jack laughed and said they’d make a pirate out of Will yet. Will just smiled and nodded slowly.* That you will probably do! I told you, you had a stronger influence on people than you thought! *Then Jack cuffed him again on the head. Will glarred at the captain then laughed.* How did I know you were going to do that! *Then at the mention of stopping on an island to wait out the rest of the storm, Wills heart sank a little and he lowered his head. It would mean yet a longer wait to see his Elizabeth. Oh how he missed her and would give anything to see her again, even his life. Then he slowly looked back up at Jack.* Yes, I don’t think we’ll last much longer in this! *He scanned the deck, noticing that most of the crew had gone below and those were still atop were making their way towards the cabins. Then Jack asked about Maria. Will glanced over at the Cabin she was in and could now see two shadows moving about, silouetts against the lantern on the table. He raised a brow, curious as to who the other was with her.* Shes alright. Shes a strong girl, even for thirteen. And besides it looks as if she has some help. *Then Jack talks about going below deck to check on his daughter Rose and at first Will thought he was going to be left in peace about being thrown overboard but that was not the case. Jack secured him to the boat with a rope and hurried off.* I wasn’t thrown overboard Jack, I jumped! Theres a difference! *Will called after him, a slight laughter to his voice. He just shook his head and laughed slowly then realized there was no one at the wheel. At least he knew how to steer a ship! He grasped the wheel and waited for Jack to get back, in the meantime he glanced about him as the storm raged on and on in all her furry.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack looked at Will, amused: "I know you jumped mate.....but I know you might jump in and swim after your bonnie lass if you weren’t tied down....."
:He gave Will a serious look: "We’ll get her back, Will. You have my word....." He grinned a bit crazily and added: "Have I ever given you a reason to not trust me...?" then thinking about it he turned back to the Sea. "better not answer that..." But he was smiling. "I know the island..and if Barbossa has any sense in him at all..chances are he’s stopped too...." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aundiul-Jack’s crew Aundiul goes down to her cabin and gets a bandage. She fixes it to Saber’s head. "There that’s better," She says. "Thank you." Saber replies. "Your welcome mate. Anytime really." Aundiul answers. She then walks through the strong winds over to Captain Jack. "Captain! Do you need my help?" She asks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Turner *Will sees Jack return from below deck and he smiles at the mention of him jumping in to save Elizabeth. He nods slowly, knowing that Jack was probably right about that. Then Jacks face turns more serious, talking about promising to get her back. Will reaches out and pats the captains arm and he nods.* I know we will. *Then he laughs at the mention of trusting him.* No i guess not mate, but I must admit I was rather taken back when you turned into a skeleton that night we were in those caves. You failed to mention you were cursed. *Will grins, remembering the look on his face when he realized that Jack had been cursed. He had suspected it a time or two by the way Jack acted but never would have believed it was true. Then Will look towards the island as Sparrow speaks and he nods slowly, turning more serious.* Yes, and as much as I despise Barbossa, I don’t believe he is stupid enough to stay out in this. *Then Will lowered his voice, almost to a mere whisper as he scanned the seas.* Barbossa if you’ve done anything to Elizabeth, or even Abigail and the Govenor.....I’ll find you. *He glanced out of the corner of his eye towards Jack who was also scanning the seas.* We’ll find you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sarah Fleming- The Black Pearl *Sarah let herself into Will’s cabin surprised to find no Will, but a Maria and Sasha.* Sorry for just barging in here, but I have some blankets I thought Maria might like. *Sarah quickly hands her some blankets before going on.* Do either of you need anything? I was going to tell Jack that Rose is in my cabin resting, but I’ll be back. So do either of you need anything? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Jack looked over at Aundiul: "I’m hoping most of you stay below deck...but if you’re determined to stay up here, then tied yourself down before we have any more of you taking a swim....savvy?"
:He looked over at Will: Wasn’t cursed until I picked up that coin mate.....must admit it was a useful little curse, keepin’ me alive and such...." He looked out over the water. He had his own reasons for wantin’ to meet with Barbossa. Namely the fact that he wanted to kill him once and for all for his mutiny yearsbefore. He was Jack Sparrow after all.....:
"Will....might not be the best time to bring this up....but I overheard a few people talkin’ a while ago....is it true your lass is expectin’ a little pirate along soon?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
