Sarah left Abigail's side and walked over to Elizabeth. Elizabeth, dear, how have you been today? Anymore...dreams? Sarah whispered the last part, not wanting anyone else to here.

*Carrie stepped further up the deck and went to find some nearby tavern where she could find raised voices and good rum. She looked back at Captain Jack's hearty grin and her gaze held on him for a while. He was handsome when he smiled. Then she turned from the Captain and walked with a swaggering gait toward a nearby tavern, and entered. She then went up to the bar and said* "I'd like to get meself some rum, and a good conversation if anyone would care to join me. She then sat down at a table in the back corner of the tavern and awaited a response."

Arien walks up to Arayel, “is that what I think it be or are me eyes deceiving me?” She said as she beheld the pearl sitting port in Tortuga. “Well aint that a coincidence we were just talkin’ about that last night. We should scout around and see if we can join the crew...I am willing to swab the deck ifn's they just let me join up and go with them”

:Jack watched the crew depart, a sort of lazy grin on his face, but his eyes betraying his real mood. He was worried. He glanced down at the compass. It wasn't acting odd anymore, but he was sure he hadn't been imagining things. In fact, he was now positive something was wrong:
;With a glance over his shoulder, he put the compass into his pocket then made his way down the docks, watching out for past liasions that might be less then happy to see him. He headed for the local blacksmith's suddenly wishing Will was near. He'd be able to help him with repairs on the Pearl better then any man he knew. He wondered if maybe he should leave the repairs that required a blacksmith until he got to Port Royale......:
:He turned to look at the Pearl, her black sails rippleing. He had to a least fix some of the basic things so He went off in search of a man to do repairs...:

*Will smiled at Abigail as she made sure the twins were careful with their swords. He watched them run around the yard, smacking the trees and furniture with them. Then Abigail went inside to run the bath water. When she did, the twins thought no one was watching them and Catherine caught James off guard, smacking his sword from his hands.* Hey! *He cried, grabbing it up again, he smacked her with it and she smacked him back. Will leaped up from the porch steps and grabbed the swords from them and he frowned.* No, no, no you can't do that with them! I told you not to hit eachother or your mother will kill me. Here, let me show you what you do with them. *Will said, handing the swords back. He went inside and grabbed his own sword and came back out, slowly pretending to parry an invisable person. The twins immitated him, although their attempts were rather flawed. As they worked at it they got better but being young were still off balanced. He smiled as he watched them. Then scooped them up in each arm and led them inside and upstairs to Abigail so she could wash them up. He set them down and walked off.* Abigail, Abigail watch what daddy taught us! *James squealed, then he and Catherine parried, slowly and off cue but none the less, still tried. Then they turned and smiled proudly at Abigail.* I wanna show mommy! *Catherine cried, and they started to run out of the bathroom to their mother.*

After a few minutes,Emma's headache had subsided enough for her to roam the streets again.The salt air did her good;she felt much better as she walked the streets of Tortuga,her long,auburn hair swinging loosely behind her.She walked with a slight swagger,her sword perfectly natural at her side.She was looking for a place to get some food,when she saw two girls walking together.one she didn't know,but she looked like she could be the other girl's sister....That is,if the woman was who Emma thought she was.
She considered for a moment calling out to her old friend,but decided to get a closer look first.The pair went into a clothes store,and as she passed by the door she got a clear look at the one's face.
"Kat!"she said,leaning on the doorframe."Where in the name of God have you been all this time?"

*Tobbs was sleeping silently, when she felt the wind against her face, and she fluttered her eyes and sat up, realizing she'd drifted off to sleep. Yawning and stretching, she stood from the barrel she'd been leaning on and went next to the wheel beside Jack.
She smiled when he mentioned Tortuga. It had always been somewhat of a haven for her since crews were formed there for voyages, but now, she thought as she glanced back to Jack, then the Pearl and the crew members, she'd be apart of this crew until the end of her days.
She noticed a hint of morose and worry in Jack's eyes. As the Pearl was anchored, she watched him head off for supplies, wondering what he was thinking. She sighed and began to check for the supplies for the ship, and noted they'd gotten all the necessities from Port Dantes. Seeing Rose, she approached, and noted she too had a gloom about her.
Trying to cheer up her friend, she suggested a stroll, or perhaps a swig of rum at a tavern, but the gloom seemed not to leave. Now Tobbs grew worried, anxious even. What in blazin' was going on?
She made her way back to the deck, and leaned out over the side of the ship, gazing off into the sea. She rubbed her fingers against the golden charm around her neck as her thoughts roamed and the anxiety grew. At last she could take it no more. She stood straight and was about to leave, when she saw something off in the distance, towards Port Dantes. It seemed not but a speck, perhaps a mirage under the sun. She pulled out her spyglass, which revealed more specks, but again, they were not but specks. Something seemed wrong with the small island afar off, Port Dantes it was.
Sighing again and shaking her head, she decided she'd go in search of the crew to usher them back aboard and then get Jack. She liked it not here in Tortuga, for something, was amyss...*

*Elizabeth had been walking along with her family, enjoying the pleasures of the sunny day, a smile upon her face. But something could be seen in her eyes, the only thing that revealed her worried thoughts. It was Sarah who noticed it first, and when the question was asked, Elizabeth watched Will run up the stairs withthe children before she replied.*
I have been indeed, Sarah, of something unclear, yet I feel it is just before my very own eyes. Tis like a fog hiding it, and then there's that laugh, that familiar laugh, and all this screaming and agony! *She closed her eyes, trying to get the image out of her eyes.* I dont know what it could be, and the more I think of it, the worse it gets!
*She fell silent when she saw the twins rush to her side, hugging her knees on either side of her. Looking to Sarah in a solemn, silent gaze that seemed to say, "Dont share this to Will or Abby yet", she bent down and kissed them both on thei small foreheads, smiling lovingly as she watched their excited faces. Twas James who spoke first. **
"Momma Momma, look what daddy taught us!" *They both began to imitate their father as best they could, a slight awkward off cue ickle sword fight with someone of their imagination. She applauded and opened her arms, hugging them both and picking them up gently.* That was wonderful, the best sword fighting I've ever seen! She gave them an eskimo nose kiss and smiled even more as they giggled, taking them back inside and joined Abby and Will, the cheerfulness returning to her gloomy eyes.*

Sarah listened to Elizabeth's words. As the twins rushed in Sarah's mind went to solemn and sad things. Suddenly she felt some horrible feeling come in her, she was thrown back for a second, then it disappeared. Elizabeth, why don't we go out to lunch? Just you and me. Then we can talk about this without anyone hearing. No one need know. I just felt the weirdest thing...

Rose Glassman
Rose frowned as they entered the port of Tortuga. Sighing with dread, she battled her mixed emotions about landing there as she stepped off the deck, looking around at the docks. They seemed so familiar, as if it had been less than five days, let alone five years, since she left.
She nearly runs into Carrie, whom she sees heading towards the tavern. She notices her looking at Jack and frowns protectively. "Don' waste yer time...'e's too old for ya," she says out of the corner of her mouth as she passes Carrie, then casually resting her hand on her sword, she strolled into Tortuga, whistling.
As she walked, a woman suddenly gave her a rough push. "Rose Glassman!" she said in a loud, accusatory, rough voice.
Rose's eyes widened. "Miss Smithers?"
"Yes, it's me! You ought t' be ashamed of yourself, child! Runnin' off like that...leavin' us all behind, worried to death...what've you been doin'?! Should've become a lady, like your mother wanted...look at yourself! You're a disgrace to th' Glassman name, girl!"
Rose glared at the woman in fury, tears coming to her eyes. "You don't know anything!" she yells at Miss Smithers, anger building up inside her. This woman knows nothing about her...nothing.
Miss Smithers glares at her. "I will be watching you, Miss Glassman...you watch out, or you'll end up like your mother...just even more worthless." She spits at Rose's feet and turns to go, leaving a shaking girl looking after her.

While Saber and Kat had been walking toghether Saber had returned Kat's pendant to her. "You gave me this right before you ran to get help. Do you remember?" Kat stroked the cat pendant and hung it about her neck "Of course I remember, thank you for returning it." The the two had enterd a sort of shop wher they had a bit of clothes to sell. Kat was looking at some old shirts when she heard a voice behind her. She turned "Emma? Oh its great ta see you again." she went to her friend and claped her on the back. "Ive been off on one of my...umm...Jobs." she grinned. "And I hope by now you know what I mean by that. I acomplished it though the whole thing was a set up." she sighed "Oh Emma I want ya ta meet my sister Sarah, or Saber as she is called now. Ya know the one I talk about somtimes." Saber gave a slight bow in Emmas direction. "Pleased ta meet ya Im sure. But who exactly might you be?" she arched her eyebrow in Kats direction.

"Ah,yes.Your jobs."Emma shook her head,though she was smiling."I know what they are,and you know what I think of 'em.But that's surely old news by now,isn't it?" She turned her head to the girl who had been walking with Kat."Sabre,is it?Year,yer sister's told me about you once or twice.As for who I am,the name's Emma Hawkins.But I usually just go by Emma."She smiled,offering her hand for Saber to shake."We'll have to have a bout sometime if you're near as good as Kat says."

Abby smiled as Miss Elizabeth hugged and kissed the twins, James and Catherine. "She really is a good mother" Abby thought to herself. Little James did his best to show his sword fighting skills to his parents. They smiled indulgently at his antics. He would need many more lessons but James showed a natural apptitude for it though. "He gets it from his father to be sure" Abby realized. She decided to make the main meal of the day for the family. "Miss Elizabeth..I'll be preparing supper. If you need me I shall be in the kitchen." Abby went to the large kitchen, started making a hearty stew for the family.

*Will went into the bedroom while the children rushed downstairs to their mother. He slipped off his vest and took his hair out of its ponytail, running his hand through it. Then he slipped off his boots and went back to the bathroom when he heard the kids come rushing up. By now the water had been warmed and poured into the tub. As Abigail left to cook dinner Will managed to round up both the kids and popped them in the water. He leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, letting them play in the water a bit. As he watched them he frowned a little, thinking about his own father. He had been a good man, and a good father...when he was around. But Will didn't grow up with the best family life and he just hoped he was a good father. Finally he knealt down and washed them up. Then Elizabeth came in. He smiled at her and gave her a kiss as they wrapped the kids up in a towel and then dressed them.* Kids why don't you go see if Abigail needs any help in the kitchen. *Will said, then looked at Elizabeth and grabbed her hand, he looked concerned.* Elizabeth, I just want you to know you can tell me anything love, alright? *He said simply then he kissed her again and smiled at Sarah.* Will you be staying for dinner? You're more than welcome.
-Clarion- *As the Cutlass sailed out of the Port, Clarion pulled out his spyglass and watched the ship with his men on it sail hastily towards Tortuga. They would be there soon and he would finally have Jack right where he wanted him. He grinned and looked at Barbossa as they inched ever closer to victory.* This is turning out to be a glorius day indeed. *He said softly, then heard a barrel crash over. His eyes darted in its direction and he stormed over, his pistol drawn. He pointed the barrel directly at the womans forehead who was hidden behind them. He scowled.* Who are you lass? What have you heard? *He growled, grabbing her by the collar and yanking her towards him. He put the pistol to her temple.* You know you're walking down a rather stupid path lass, I have but to pull this trigger, now whats you're buisness on this ship?

[shadow=purple,left,300][glow=teal,2,300]*Arayel Still stood Gaping at the ship as Arien came up behind her and spoke* Aye lass it be what you thinking it be. *She marvelled at the ship, her gracefull lines, and trim black sails, she almost didn't notice when Cap'n sparrow walked right past them, but spun quickly to follow where he was walking too and nearly ran into Arien.* Well there goes our chance lass what do we do? Do we follow him, or go up to the ship herself?[/glow][/shadow]
