*Tobbs looked up graciously at Jack as he helped her stay up. She felt as if she could collapse right there on the spot, but she was able to muster up a weak grin as he concernedly looked for injuries.*
Aye, tis naught but a scratch as always....
*She smiled at Saber and Kat, glad they were alright, and then she turned to Rose, nodding her head to the question. As they began their way back to the Pearl, she recalled the conversation she'd just had. Brother? Why would he mention that? What in bloody hell was he talking about? Then she suddenly realized she'd needed to tell Jack something, something she'd seen...Bloody hell, what was it!! She knew it was important, indeed really important, but she couldn't remember.... sighing, she brought her free hand up to her head, where she'd felt the thing slam into it, and, twas just up at the left corner of her forehead, just where her hair was, where she felt something....she brought her fingers down, and saw twas a bit of...blood? What in blazin? Closing her hand and looking down, she knew not what to do, for to worry Jack would be a crazy idea! He'd want to hunt for the bloody fools who did it, and that she couldnt let happen, as she remembered the voyage they'd had before. So, trying to act as best she could, she with the help of Jack managed to get aboard. On deck, she smiled and stopped just before her cabin.*
Thank ye Jack, I think I'll take a small nap, try to gather some 'o my strength back...*She noted his suprised expression, as she'd always protested about resting, and, managing a grin, she hugged him yet again, then opened her cabin door and lightly shut it, using the wall for support.
She reached her bed and pulled out some small cloths from the small nightstand, then applied pressure to the wound. Sighing, she laid back and closed her eyes, trying to get the dizzyness out of her mind and the thing she needed to tell Jack in her mind. But twas no use. Soon enough, she was resting lightly, though she stirred occassionally, her dreams dark and foreboding.*

Abby served the children small servings of food. She made sure to cut their food into small bites, knowing their little mouths couldn't chew on the big pieces of vegetable and meat from the stew. Master Will's abrupt departure to the Fort after the messenger arrived left Abby very worried. She heard a bit of Master Will's conversation with the messenger. His information was ill tidings indeed however she got distracted from her dark thoughts when the children started throwing pieces of food at each other. "Now, now!! There shall be none of that. James and Catherine, I want you to stop wasting food. Start eating like proper English ladies and gentlemen!" The twins smiled impishly but returned to eating their food in a civilized way. Abby tried to put on a good face, hiding the fear she felt. A massive slaughter at Port Dantes was bad news indeed. She wanted so much to tell Miss Elizabeth but Abby didn't want to leave the twins while they were still eating. She turned to Sarah, "Would you like some more potatos and chicken? I made a lot of food tonight knowing you would be staying for dinner."

~ Richard Jenkins-a.k.a. Patrick to some, and Richy to others...though he despises both and likes to be called Snakes by some, as it matches his nature. ~ (Muahaha! BBB, he's one of yers! ;D )
*Snakes ran as fast as he could down the ally, only stopping once to catch a breather and see if the others were alright. Bloody Pirates! They'd always messed things up! And now Kat had escaped!
He grimaced as he saw one of his men pull something out of their arm. Twas a dagger in the other's arm. Foolhardy Tobbs! She'd be taught a lesson soon enough!
Now he looked towards the ports and saw something in the distance...if he'd been correct, he knew Port Dantes had been utterly destroyed by news of one of his men on a previous ship....twas a man, a pirate captain, and a pirate himself...so why was a royal fleet headed their way? For thats what was coming over the horizon!
He shifted uneasily. What was going on? He'd known it wasn't Jack Sparrow, for thats who was with Kat...but then why where they headed here? Sighing, he decided he cared not and summoned his men to the docks to await the fleets' arrival. Perhaps they could get answers...

Sarah smiled at Abigail and nodded when she asked her if she would care for more food. Yes please, though just a little. Sarah put her hand on Elizabeth's, and quickly whispered. Don't worry, Will will be back soon.

Rose Glassman
Rose got on board the Black Pearl, sighing with relief - it was so nice to be away from Tortuga, even if it was just a plank that stood between her and the ground. Looking after Tobbs with some worry, she finally decided to pester her friend in the morning and contents herself with taking her usual pose at the side of the Pearl, leaning over and staring at the ocean, her eyes distant, her face calm.
Hawk Aureye
Hawk raised an eyebrow at the lass. She was getting better by the second, and she looked familiar. Then she spoke, and he snapped his fingers in recognition.
"I know 'o ye are! Yer Jacqueline Raven, captain o' th' Eye! Or ex-captain now, I should say..." he adds with a snicker, but his mind is whirling. He stowed away for two months on The Eye when he was 18, and still looking for Barbossa...his mind was whirring now. He looked pretty much the same as he had two years ago; would she remember him?

Emma followed everyone else back to the Pearl.As she didn't know many people there,she stayed close to Kat.
"You still haven't answered my question,"she said,sitting on the ship's railing and looking out to sea. Her eyes were a perfect bluegreen,the same color as the waves they were fixed on.Emma squinted over the haror,her hawk-like gaze settling on one ship.She didn't know why,but it gave her a bad feeling...

*Will walked along quickly with the royal guard, neither saying anything, both their faces filled with a grim frown. Once they arrived to the Fort Will was led inside where a group of the higher ranking officers were discussing various things.* What's going on? What happened at Port Dantes exactly? *Will asked. An officer, not much older than him, stepped forward and they shook hands.* Mr. Turner, I'm Daniel Stewart. I'm afraid the slaughter at Port Dantes was one of the most massive we have ever seen. It was a brand new settlement, poorly guarded and now their Captain, Clarion is reportedly missing. *Daniel explained. Will furrowed his brows.* Do they know anything about who may have done it? *Will asked, highly suspecting Barbossa.* The reports we were given were very unclear, they believe it was only a few people who did it, but are certain they're pirates. A small fleet was sent out from Port Dantes to Tortuga where the pirates who did this supposedly fled. *Daniel said. Will nodded slowly then glanced about.* What about Port Royale, have we sent any aid to the surviors, or a fleet to Tortuga? *He asked. Daniel nodded slowly.* Yes we have sent both a fleet and aid, although theres hardly anyone left to give aid too. The fleet should be arriving any moment now. *Will sighed heavily then nodded his head slowly. The guard in Port Royale were now keeping a good watch on their docks. As Daniel had spoke to him he sort of doubted it had been Barbossa who had done the crime. Then he cleared his throat as a horrible feeling swept over him.* Thank you for letting me know. I think I'll go keep an eye on my family for now, please let me know if anything else happens. *Will said, then quickly rushed back home. He came in through the door and sat back down at the table. He said nothing and ate slowly, avoiding the eyes of those still at the table.*

-Clarion- *Clarion listened to what this woman had to say. He grew infuriated with her. 'How dare a woman speak to him with that sort of tone' he thought to himself but did nothing except give her a cold hard glare. He stepped away from her, too tempted to finish her off with a bullet. He looked at Hawk as Hawk seemed to know who she was. He raised a brow then glarred at Hawk, wondering how on earth he knew this woman. Standing firmly beside Barbossa, he had his pistol still in his grip, ready to shoot either of them if the moment called for it. With every passing moment they were nearing Tortuga, it wouldn't be long now till they had Jack in their grasp.*
-Clarions men-aboard the Blue Diamond *The Blue Diamond was nearing Tortuga. The men aboard could clearly make out its shores and ships in the docks. Ahead of them a ways, even closer to the wild island were a fleet of ships belonging to Norrington. The crew aboard the Diamond was happy to see they wouldn't be the only ones going in for the capture of this fugitive.*

Saber looked at Emma "Wha...? oh about the sailin'. Yes Im sure Jack wouldnt mind if ye came along with us, as long as you....." she trailed off and looked over Emmas shoulder. "Oh no...I hope thats not what i think it is. Kat?" Kat looked as well "If I know anything its a small fleet ....from the british ....NAVY!" she yelled. "Oh great Ive had a run in with them before, and I bet they still remember me. This not what I need right now." The color drained from Sabers face. "I thought we had settled things with Norrington, the navy never comes here unless something is really wrong. I dont like the looks of this, and especialy since they are headed towards this dock." she looked at her companions "We didnt do nothin'!" she said with a look of shock on her face.

Emma swore loudly and admirably."The navy?In Tortuga?They've seen my face more'n once,and aren't likely to soon forget it."She looked around."Who're they after?That's an awful lot of ships..."As she watched the ships draw nearer,Emma's knives found their way into her hands...She hadn't know the crew of this ship long,but if it was one of them the Navy was after,they weren't getting them without a fight from Emma Hawkins.

-Norringtons Men- *There were three ships that pulled into Tortuga, carrying a large group of Norringtons men. They piled into the streets of Tortuga like an army of ants, going in search of Jack Sparrow. They noticed his ship in the docks and rushed towards it, every single one of their guns loaded and ready to go. Then a handful of them spotted Jack and a young woman walking towards the pearl.* You there, both of you stop this instant by order of the Royal Navy! *A man cried. Then he gave a nod to the four men standing around him and they rushed towards Jack and Rose. Two of them grabbed either of Jacks arms while the others, as the numbers of the men surrounding Jack had grown, all had their guns pointing at him. Another two had ahold of Rose to keep her out of the way.* By order of the King, Jack Sparrow is to be arrested upon the spot and taken back to Port Royal for imprisonment and punishment where he will be held until death for his brutal crime upon Port Dantes. *A man read, then looked slowly up at Jack. Most of the men were surrounded around Jack by now and they all waited to see what he would do, hoping he would go back to the ships without a struggle.*

Rose Glassman
Rose saw the Navy ships dock at the port, but it wasn't until they started running towards her and Jack that she started to get a sinking feeling in her stomach. When they yelled at her and her father to stop, Rose bit her lip, looking to Jack for advice on whether they should stop or run.
Before she had a chance to do anything, Jack was being dragged into a circle of armed Navy officers, and her arms were being grabbed by two officers to stop her from following. "DAD!" she screamed, fiercely struggling in the grip of her captors. "Let - GO - o' me! What th' bloody 'ell is going ON here?!" She frowned deeply as the men aimed their guns at Jack and struggled even more. "LET - GO - OF - ME!!!!!" With a yank, she forced herself out of the mens' grips, then stepped on one's foot, kicked the other in the shin, and with a small flick of her wrist, had daggers in both of her hands and placed them at her captor's throats.
"You move an' I slit," she hissed at them fiercely, then turned to hear what the men were saying to Jack.
Her jaw dropped as she heard the charges again him. "ARRESTED FOR WHAT?!?!?!?!" she demanded in horror, staring at the men. "There - was - what - the - where - " Managing to get herself under control, she started yelling again. "Are you lot insane?! F'r one thing, I know nothin' about ANY 'brutal crime' on Port Dantes...we weren't there long enough t' do anythin'! F'r another, 'ow th' 'ell could ONE man do anythin' that bad? And f'r a third...'E DIDN'T DO IT!!!"
Hawk Aureye
Hawk was still studying Jacqueline's face when he heard distant yells. Turning, he saw Tortuga, getting closer and closer...and there were three Navy ships at the port.
He snickered. "Perfect," he drawled. "Norrington's men are playin' righ' into it..."

*Jacqueline gave Clarion an innocent grin in return of his cold glare. She knew she was playing a very dangerous game here and when he stepped back her first instinct was to duck away. But she controlled herself to a small motion of her hand to her face, quickly continued to wipe away an imaginary string of hair. Then suddenly Hawk showed her recognized her. Jacqueline glared long into the young man's face and then suddenly enfuriated she recognized him.* "YOU! You filthy little...I should have keelhawled you when I had the chance! If you have survived my revenge...so could others...Hmmm, so have you been promoted from a cookshelp to a deckswapper? Or is yer captain smart enough to recognize a lazy arse when he sees one? Ex-captain you say? You're behind on yer information...trust me on that!"
*At that moment they finally reached Turtoga...Jacqueline saw the excited reaction of Hawk and followed his glance to three royal ships docked there. She frowned, following from Hawk's reaction that this should be a good thing and not a case of run and come back later...*

Emma growled deep in her throat as the Navy men streamed onto the streets of the city she called home.Her eyes grew wide as she saw Jack and Rose,nearly back to the ship,and the Navy officers gaining on them from behind.
"Jack-Rose!Watch out!"Her cry went unnoticed;it had been too late.Kinves in hand,she ran forward,ready to give the Navy members the fight of their lives.
"...held unto death for his brutal crimes at Port Dantes."
Emma stopped,just outside the ring of Officers.She looked questioningly at the other crew members,seeking some sort of explanation of verification.Rose's indignant shouts and protests were good enough for her.
Shouting wildly,long auburn hair streaming behind her, she charged into thecircle of men,slashing and stabbing anything in a uniform.

Saber and Kat watched in disbeliefe as Norrringtons men surrounded Jack and grabbed Rose. At first Saber started forward. Out of the three friends Saber, Kat and Emma, she was the one who really knew Jack and Rose and she couldnt stand to see them like that. Kat placed a hand on her shoulder. "Nay you will only cause more trouble lass." Saber sighed she knew her sister was right. "Oy, wheres Emma got to?" the two of them looked down. "Stupid girl she gonna get them all killed!" Saber shouted. She rushed down and grabbed Emmas arm "Stop! You just gonna get yourself and Jack killed acting this way!" Then Saber realized that now she was standing in a small circle of men. "Saber Tompson isnt it?" Saber groaned."Your lucky our buisness isnt with you." The man who was speaking nodded and something hit Saber in the back of the head. She fell senceless to the ground.
