* Maria had been fighting the whole time. She saw That Kat had been captured and Saber was unconcious on the floor she screamed for kat to wake up but she didn't manage to. She turned around too see a man grab her behind the arms he led her to the side. She tunerd to him and spit in his face. her took his knife out and threatened to slt her throat. Before he could she screamed for Saber.* " Saber!" * He place the knife over her thraot her heart pounding like a drum. But suddenly he placed the knife on her stomach and whispered in her ear that the crew would die. She shook until she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. the bloody pirate had stabbed her. He let her lie at the edge in pain in agony. She tried to shout to Emma but could't makeher voice tavel that far. The pain was too much she slid over to Saber and drahged her to the side. Maria tried to reveive her once more but fell unconcious before she could wake her.*
( Hope that wasn't to long. That was for Kat Emma and Saber)

*Tobbs twirled around when she heard Rose shout a warning to her. She saw the vile creature who had threatened her before and mention her brother lurk away back into the shadows, a dagger in his shoulder. She smiled and mouthed thank you, then continued her fights. But everything stopped when Jack offered himself to the officers. She froze in her tracks, letting a nearby officer grab her saber from her and grasp her on the arm so not to let her fight suddenly.
She shot Jack a sorrowful, baffled look, not wanting him to go, not wanting to even let him leave with those officers. Norrington would be in for it...indeed he would...
She gave a pleading look first to Jack, then the man in charge, a defeated look to Rose, and then her eyes fell to the ground, those salty tears of the sea filling to the brim of her eyes. When they began to drag Jack forward, she looked up, newly found anger in her eyes, the everfamous glow returning a little, and, without warning, slammed her elbow into the nearest officer's side, shoved her knee into one of their stomachs, painfully hit one in the head with her own, and stubbed a man's toe before charging forward after Jack in hopes of getting him back. But alas, the free officers grabbed her arms and would not let her go, holding her back from runing, and all she could do was shout a pitiful cry, and call loudly Jack's name, though she knew there wouldnt be a response.
Collapsing to the ground, she tried her best to keep the tears in. Aye, the three years had been a dream...she knew it would end, but why now? Why so soon? Wiping her cheek, she stood slowly and snatched her saber back, sending an icy glare in the direction of the officers. Her eyes went to The three bodies on the ground...Saber was unconscious, Maria was stabbed, and Emma, not on the ground, was wounded, all three bloody. Kat...kat was being dragged away! Moving quickly, she ran forth and snuck behind him, then slammed her hilt into his side, hoping she broke a few ribs whilst she was at it. Grabbing Kat by the armn, she raced her to her sister and Maria, and giving one last glare to the officers, a sad glance to Rose, and a sorrowful gaze to the now moving ship Jack was on, she picked up Maria and made sure the others were alright, Saber being taken and Emma followed, as well as Rose, and the others, before she was off to the grand Pearl...*

*Will continued to keep his eyes away from those around the table. Then Sarah asked him how the docks were and if he'd heard news of anyone. He pushed his plate away from him and leaned back in his chair. His eyes looked up slowly and met Sarahs and he frowned.* No, I haven't heard anything. *Will lied, then he stood up from the table and watched the twins scurry upstairs. He went over to Elizabeth and grabbed her arm gently and whispered in her ear so that no one else could hear what he had to tell her.* Elizabeth, when we’re alone I need to talk to you about something, about Port Dantes. *He whispered then rose and tried to put on a smile for everyone, then looked at Abigail and frowned just a little.* Abigail, Im sorry I made this a bleak dinner. *He apologized then gave a bow with his head and turned to go upstairs. He took off his vest, shirt, and shoes and walked over to the window, glancing out at the docks. Something was terribly wrong, he could feel it. Sort of like that day nearly 4 years ago when he leaned out his blacksmith shop and saw the deserted street.
-Norringtons Men- *The officers knew that Sparrow wouldn’t go down without a fight, and then his crew joined in. The officers fought back just as hard, they weren’t letting Sparrow get away. Then to their surprise Jack said he would come quietly if they left the crew unharmed. One of the higher ranking officers looked at him for a long moment before holding up his hand. The officers ceased their attacks on Jacks men.* All of you back to the ships, Sparrow you’re coming with us like you said. And as for the lot of you, it would be in your best interest to let us take this man to where he needs to be peacefully, or the outcome will be bleak for all of you. *He said glancing about at the crew, then they led Jack onto one of the ships and put him below in a cell. The two guards standing there just looked at him when he asked about rum. Then exchanged glances and laughed.* You won’t be tasting anything but warm water and stale bread for the rest of your life Mr. Sparrow, not after what you’ve done. You’re going to spend the rest of your life rotting in a jail cell in good ol’ Port Royale mate.*One of the guards said slowly. The ships were now ready to make way back to Port Royale.*

*Elizabeth knew something was wrong from the start. When she Will gone, she didnt know what to think. But slowly, she began to feel anxious, worried, as if something was going to happen she knew not of, yet had felt for these few days.
When Will returned, she was confirmed on her guesses. Something had gone wrong. Though the table was silent and a restless tension somewhat filled the air, she smiled as best she could, her appetite long lost. When the twins scurried up the stairs, she stood and was about to bring her plate in the kitchen, when Will gently whispered in her ear of something of Port Dantes. Immediately she grew even more worried, and, as she watched him head up stairs, she stopped by Sarah.* Sarah, perhaps we'll talk more tomorrow, for now I think we all need rest, your chambers should be ready. Goodnight! *Turning to Abby, she smiled and complimented on the food, as it was delicious as always, and, thanking her once again, she turned and headed up to the twins' room. There, she cchanged them and tucked them in, reading them a bit before kissing them on their foreheads goodnight and tucking them under their covers.
As she headed for the room and opened the door, she saw Will standing near the window. Clsing the door softly, she approached quietly, and, as he turned when he heard her footsteps, she slid her arms in his and looked up in his eyes, the worry returning. *
"Will, love, whats happened? I knew there was something wrong...ever since those dreams...*She caught herself in her words. Glad they were talking now, she could tell him of her restless sleep.* I've not been able to sleep of late, there's this foreboding darkness and terrible cries. *She watched his eyes drop down* Will, what's happened?

(ooc: ok I'm gonna try and catch up here, note the word TRY *smiles*)
[shadow=purple,left,300][glow=teal,2,300]*Arayel had just left Arien behind, and was following Cap'n Sparrow at a respectful distance when she was intercepted by a young woman introducing herself as Carrie. She promptly and politely introduced herself then noticed that Sparrow was coming back to join them. Carrie introduced her and Arayel made a sweeping bow then sideways galnced the woman when she said Arayel was one of his "admirers".* Tis a pleasure to meet ye Cap'n Sparrow. *She decided to let Carries comment pass, then odd looked her once more when she made another comment that made Areyel blush a slight pink. Suddenly there was no more time for introductions as it seemed that one of Jack's Crew had been accosted. Without waiting for an invite she followed along and joined the fray. The struggle was brief but succesful and they all seemed to be heading back to the ship, so Arayel followed quietly. Though she noticed the one they called Tobb's seemed slightly injured. She looked at the woman in concern, but said nothing. Just when they were all back to the Pearl they were suddenly surrounded by British Naval officers. Arayel looked about frightfully, certain she had done nothing amiss during her brief stint in Port Royale, she had even paid for her room at the inn! But then she realized it wasn't her they were after at all it was Jack. She listened carefully and nearly flipped at the words, "held until death"...* For what a crime he didn't commit? All theses people seem sure he did nothin' wrong an' I for one believe 'em! *She near shouted launching herself into yet another fray. After a few moments scuffle, adding yet more bruises and scratches to herself, things quieted down and the Naval officers took Jack away. Leaving her and the others standing in a wide, and somewhat confused circle. Arayel looked about at the people half of whom she didn't know. Her breathing was fast and her words ragged when she said.* Well what're we gonna do? They just took Cap'n Sparrow! Are we gonna let them get away with this? There's gotta be some way to prove he's innocent! *She said unconciously including herself*[/glow][/shadow]

*Will continued to stare out the window, feeling anxious and worried. Then he heard footsteps coming towards him. He turned slowly and saw Elizabeth, she put her arms throug his and as she spoke he lowered his eyes.* Nearly everyone in Port Dantes was murdered, the whole town was destroyed. *Will said softly, then he looked back up and his eyes met hers.* I just feel like the officers at the Fort were hiding something from me. They know who did it and they wouldn't tell me. And I think I might know why. *He said, shaking his head slowly. Then he led her to the bed and sat down on the edge of it. He sighed heavily.* I've been having dreams of late. Somethings not right. And Im...I'm worried about you and Catherine and James, and Jack for whatever reason. And now that I know im not the only one with those feelings, it makes me all the more worried. *He stood up slowly and walked to the door, then paused and looked back at his wife.* I think I'd feel a little better if the twins slept in here, until all these strange feelings go away. *He said, then crept into the twins room, scooped them up and brought them back in with him and Elizabeth. He laid them in the middle of the bed then laid down, looking at Elizabeth.* Come love, lets try to get some sleep. I wont let anything happen to us or to anybody else if I can help it.

:Jack's dark eyes went to the officers near his cel. His stomach lurched when he heard about the apparent rum veto. He grew a bit nervous about this, but wasn't to troubled by their treat just yet. Norrington knew him better then that:
:He sighed and went to lie down on the cot in the cel, and hoped Rose or Tobbs.....or any of his crew for that matter would figure out the reason for this attack on him and his crew. As long as his crew was alright....he'd be alright:
:Frowning, Jack took out the compass and watched the needle, saw it spin crazily as it had before, then went back to normal. Jack's eyes went back to the two officers. Then to his cel. Wasn't bad...he'd only be here a couple nights....and he could live off of bread and water.......but the lack of rum for the moment was what was getting to him. No rum! That was cruel and unsual punishment for anyone:
:Tipping his hat, so the rim fell over his eyes, Jack leaned againest the wall of the cel, one leg falling off the bed, the other bent, and tried to sleep. He had to sleep. He had nothing else to do for the time being. He'd been in worse scraps then this....namely a number of year back....being stranded on some God forsaken spit of land....but rum was plentiful then too.....damn he wanted rum.:
:Finally, he went over to the officers: "Look maties...I might not live without some rum....even if it is a few days.....don't think you can manage a glass? I promise I'll behave like a good little pirate if you do...no escape attempts...I swear.." He gave what he hoped was a convincing grin, gold teeth glittering brightly: "Savvy?"

Abby went to the children's room, looked in on them after Miss Elizabeth said good-night to James and Catherine. Abby sat by their bedside, sang a soft lullaby until they fell asleep. She pulled the blankets up, quietly snuffed the large candle then tiptoed over to Miss Elizabeth and Master Will's bedroom. She leaned against the door, quietly listened to their conversation. She wasn't in the habit of listening to her employers' conversations but tonight was different. She knew that something was up from after Master Will said Miss Elizabeth that he needed to speak to her urgently. Abby moved her ear closer to the keyhole. She could make out the entire conversation! "Nearly everyone in Port Dante was murdered." Abby stifled a gasp by putting her hand to her mouth. She listened some more. Master Will was still speaking, "I've been having dreams of late. Somethings not right. And Im...I'm worried about you and Catherine and James, and Jack for whatever reason. And now that I know im not the only one with those feelings, it makes me all the more worried. "
Abby realized that she wasn't the only one having bad dreams. She stood up but didn't move away from the door. Her mind was running a mile a minute thinking of what happened at Port Dante.

*Elizabeth gasped when she heard of the news of Port Dantes. All of them, murdered?! She wondered what Will suspected the officers were hiding, but when he mentioned his worry for his family, and Jack as well, she understood completely.
As he got up to get the twins, she nodded her head in agreement, still speecheless from the ill tidings. Changing into her night garments, she went to the window and sighed once again as she looked out. So much death...but why would they ever think it was-
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Will with the twins, and, as he tucked them in the center and laid down, she smiled and laid down as wel, though five minutes after, she felt a tear slide down her cheek and she sat up, the flickering candle shining brightly. She looked over at Will as another tear streamed down. Her voice was barely a whisper.
Will, I...I...this is all too terrible! Somethings going to happen, somethings deathly wrong, I can feel it, but I cant see it. *She looked at the twins and back at him.* I couldnt possibly live without you and the twins, and I couldnt bear knowing they'd away from us, nor you gone again...I just...its just...*She sighed and kept in a sob, her mind racing with thoughts, fears, and alltogether worry. She knew sleep would not find her easily, and she dreaded hwhat her dreams might be.*

Kat shot a greatfull look at Tobbs. "Thanks I needed that mate." She could tell that Tobbs was going through somthing dreadful, just like she had a few minutes before when Saber...Saber! Quickly she rushed to where her sister was and scooped her up in her arms. She lifted her as if she was a small child and carried her back on board the Pearl. Takeing her below deck Kat layed her on her bunk. "by the powers let her be alright." Kat said as she again took her hand from her sisters head and found it coverd in blood. She began to bind the wound with strips of cloth and then she knew there was not much else she could do. She went back up on the deck and stood by the rail. The first real honorable captin she knew was gone, her sister lay wounded, and she had seen another and her friend Emma recive serious wounds. Kats world was slowly falling apart. Tears fell as she thought "None of this would have happend if they haddnt been looking for me."

*Jacqueline glared to Hawk when he drew out his sword. When the captain stepped in she almost felt like sticking her tongue out to him, but she putted all her attention to the captain. When he said she was indeed under the protection of parley she looked sideways to Clarion and turned to the captain.* "Ah, yes what I want...I wish to join yer crew! To work on deck...not as a deckswapper, since you already have one." *With that Jacqueline's eyes moved to Hawk mockingly and she continued:* "And I want ye to make sure I'm not to be touched...by any of yer crew!"
*She added, remembering the remarks that were made and the simple fact how dangerous it could be being the only woman on a ship of..."bad" pirates.*

Emma followed Kat until she went below deck;then she went and stood by the railing of the ship,knowing that her prescence would be little or no help,possibly even a hindrance,to her friends.She sighed...She'd done it again,rushing into a fight without bothering to think. She found herself hoping fervently that she didn't deserve too much blame for the Captain's present state. Kat came up from below deck,looking shocked and numb,like one whose world was coming apart at the hinges.Emma bit her lip.And silently she promised to stay with this crew until they could get Jack out of whatever he'd gotten into.
She owed it to them.
She looked once more at Kat,then at the other crew members standing about in various states of physical and emotional pain,then went off to see if she could do something about her arm...

*Carrie watches as the navy officers take Cap'n Jack away. She says nothing but pummels one of the officers into a corner and steals his uniform so that the man is left in just his skivvys. She creeps up toward the other officers and blended in nicely. She then followed them to the jail and saw where they had stowed the Captain away. She smiled and contained herself when she had asked for rum. Then one of the officers told her that she was on guard duty, she nodded and stood next to the cell, she knelt down and showed the Captain her face* "I'm 'ere Cap'n, and I'll get you out as soon as can be, savvy?"

:Jack blinked at Carrie's appearance in front of him, but nodded: "Aye....I'm thankful for that mate.....Don't get yerself caught mate...I'll be fine...Norrington will let me loose...he knows me to well....." He looked around then beckoned her closer:
'I need to ask you something really important..." As Carrie leaned closer his whispered urgently: "Can you get me some rum? I don't think I'll survive the trip sober...savvy?"

*Carrie nodded at this new information and decided not to do anything. But she reached into her pocket to reveal a flask. She tossed it at Jack and smiled* "That flask is full o' the finest rum from my town. Perhaps this will help you to make the trip more safely." *She then spots a guard and turns from Cap'n Jack and remains "at her post".
