Emma went into the pub with Saber and sat down.Saber ordered two rums,and she turned and stared.However,she accepted Saber's explanation without question and took a sip drink from her mug of rum.She put it down and looked around the pub.She was about to turn to Saber and announce her opinion that it was obvious Kat wasn't here,when someone caught her eye.She stared at him for a moment,then shook her head.She must have had too much rum...after all,this wasn't her first drink tonight..."Yeah,yer right,Saber.I know another place she might've gone too,let's go."
Rick sat in the corner of a small pub in Port Royale,lazily watching the other patrons.There didn't seem to be anyone of particular interest in the tavern tonight.There rarely were.
Just then,two young women came into the room.They sat down at the bar with a pair of drinks.Rick thought nothing of it-until one of them turned her head and looked at him.His eyes grew wide."Emma?"He asked himself."No.No,she's dead.Must be the rum."He looked away from the girl and shook his head,looking into the fire for a while and remembering the last time he'd seen the girl who had died not so long ago...
When he looked up,the girls were gone.

Abby stretched her arms overhead. "Ahhh, me poor back!" She had made so many beds for crew of Captain Jack that she had lost some of the feeling in her arms and back. Little Catherine had been so adorable in trying to help but in actuality she made such a mess of the bed linens that Abby had to redo everything Catherine did. Abby nodded and smiled as Catherine said "Wasn't I a big help Abby?" "Yes you were sweetie!" Abby patted the little girl's head then gave a her a quick hug. "Off you go...I still have some things to do." After Abby tidied up the kitchen, she went to her room, fell fast asleep, tired from all the hard work.

[shadow=purple,left,300][glow=teal,2,300]*Arayel tried to look convinced when Jack said he was fine but she knew better. She also knew she should know what was wrong with him, but couldn't bring it to her mind what it could be ailing him. She sighed heavilly as Commodore Norrington shooed them away from Jacks cell, and followed the others, lost in her thoughts to the Turner home. She spent most of her time trying to dredge up the memory fluttering around the edges of her mind. She had seen symptoms like those Jack was displaying once before, and knew shje should recognize them, but she couldn't remember for the life of her, when or what had caused them. She thanked Abigail as she made up a place for her to sleep and laid down, physically weary, but to much on her mind for her to sleep. Saber and Emma had ran off in search of Saber's sister, and Arayel near wished she had gone with them. She lay for many hourssleep just out of her grasp, before finally slipping into fitful dreams.*[/glow][/shadow]

:Jack had tumbled ot of his cot, shocked at first, then angry as the sea demons themselves:
:It was to dark to make a good hit and the next thing he knew he was on the ground. Jack kicked wildly, hoping to throw off his attacker, or at least connect his fist to his face. He snapped upright, and moved to the back fo the room, hoping to figure out who was attacking him. :
:He couldn't place a name to the voice he heard. But it was vaguly familar. Not bothering to talk, he landed a few solid punches, before the attacker, who, considering Jack had been drugged, was stronger then the Captain, landed a hard punch ot his stomch. Jack doubled over, and crouched on the ground. The cel door slammed shut and Jack was alone:
:He winced and stood slowly.: "Well.....that was interestin...." Jack's eyes glittered in the darkness. He figured that was the someone who had trapped him here. The voice was familar. He needed to get some light in this cel. A candle maybe. He'd ask for one in the morning. :
:He wouldn't let himself sleep for now. He sat down and watched the door, eyes wide open and staring:

A shocked look came over Sarah's. Us...you mean...together?! A smile came over Sarah's face. I've been longing for my pirating days. Just like those wonderful weeks 3 years ago. A dazed look came over Sarah's face. I still have those clothes from 3 years ago...I could get them out. Wait...what exactly were you thinking about doing? I know we can save Jack...together!

*Tobbs heard someone enter and looked up to see Miss Sarah at the door questioning her of who she was talking to. Her expression grew to be likened as a child who's just taken a cookie and hidden it behind his back.*
"Twas no one, just a talkin' to me onesie sevvies 'bout all that's 'appenin'."
*She gave a weak innocent grin, and, as she watched Sarah suspiciously leave, she fell back into her covers, now falling asleep to the waves of what we'd know only as nightmares...*
*A stream of sunlight floated into the room, awakening Tobbs as it landed upon her face. She saw Anna, a maid in the Turner's house, placing food upon the bedstand, which made her stomach grumble in a sense.*
"Good mornin' Anna!"
"You're awake! It's been a while since we've seen you up and about!"
*A sudden anxiety arose in Tobbs stomach and rushed to her eyes.*
"What ye be sayin'? Gone fer awhile? I've been asleep...well...restin that is, fer the night."
"Miss Brighton, its been a grand total of three days since you've been up and about. You caught the Fever and have been in dark thoughts and a troubled rest for some time, and we've had to be on full watch on your condition!"
*Tobbs could've fainted on the spot if she'd been tired. Three Days!? Bloody hell! How could she do so? She felt a sense of shame to her slumber and her worrying the others. She nodded to Anna as she left then stood, a bit wobbly at first, but her strength had been gained. She grabbed her weapons and put them in their proper places, tied her hair back into a low pony, put her raed bandana on, and quickly munched down some food and a sip of juice before sneaking out of her room, then down the stairs...and through the doors...*
*She needed to find that man and Rose, wherever they were, she knew not. Mayhap she'd find Rose with him? or was she at the Turners? Or a tavern? Where, she knew not, but she'd find out!*
*As she went down the streets, she heard a familiar voice...twas the man? and....Snakes! So he'd attacked him? She'd not let that happen! What if Rose was there? Setting her hand on her hilt, she raced down the alley.*

:Jack's eyes were red by morning....he had not slept the entire night. He was still staring at his door with a expentant look in his eyes:
:When the guards noticed his stares, he gave them a half smile.: "hard to sleep without the sea rocking you to sleep, savvy?" The guards shrugged this off, but Jack was still talking. "Did I ever tell you about the lost treasure in Cuba?" He asked them in a very casual manner.:
:The guards, who were , for the most part, still under Jack's charismatic spell shook their heads and turned to him. Jack grinned: "Well...you see....it happened...oh....six years ago...maybe a bit less......"
:Jack once more began weaving the story. Stretching out the battles...and the ships chases. His body moved with the story, almost hypnotically......his hands were expressive as well. His voice changed to a whisper at one moment,then loud as a commodore's order he next. He was into the story. So were the guards.:
:By the time he was midway done, he had them crouched on the floor at eyes level with him. He inwardly grinned. These guards really...were no older then Will Turner.....and anyone liked a good story now and then. Jack didn't mind providing it. He could tell that the action around the Fort had gone stale.....that of course being his own fault.:
:years ago Jack had used his reputation to stem the level of pirate activity in the area surronding Port Royale. So these officers probably hadn't had a good battle yet. He grinned, looking at their eyes, he saw the excitment any person gets when hearing a good battle story.:
"So....we ended up stranded....savvy?" He went on....for quite some time, until the sun was rising high in the sky. Finally he finished. Ending with his capturing of the treasure, and gaining a few new crew members. The officers stared at him. Jack smiled:

* A smile came over marias face as Sarah agreed to save Jack. Sarah then ran to get the clothes from three years ago. Maria chased after her*
" Sarah I'm glad you've agreed. But we cannot do it when everybody's up and alert we must be swift in the light of the moon."
* Maria couldn't see from the clothes Sarah was throwing around.*

*Will had barley slept at all that night and he could tell by Elizabeth who had tossed and turn beside him that she hadn't gotten much either. He sat up slowly as the sun began to rise and figured he may as well just get up. As he started getting dressed Elizabeth sat up in bed and looked at him.* I'm going to go back to the fort again today to see how Jack's doing. I think I might take the twins to meet him just incase they never get- *Will started but immediatly stopped. Of course they'd see Jack again on the outside, Will wouldn't have it any other way and he'd do anything to make sure of it. He slipped on his vest and put his pistol and sword through his belt then went to the side of the bed and kissed Elizabeth on the forehead.* I'll try to be back by lunch so the twins can get something to eat. *He smiled then slipped into the twins room. To his surprise they were both awake, chatting with one another. When they saw Will they smiled and ran up to him. He got them dressed, slipped the necklaces Jack had given him around their necks, then led them downstairs and scooped them up.* Where are we going daddy? *Catherine asked. Will smiled as he made his way towards the Fort. When they arrived he took them to Jacks cell and asked the guards around it to give them some privacy. They listened and went on their way then Will set the children down and faced them towards Jack.* This is a good friend of your fathers. Jack Sparrow. Jack this is Catherine and James. *Will said. The twins eyes grew wide and they looked at Jack with awe. Catherine was a little shy and grabbed Wills pant leg but James put his face between the bars and smiled brightly up at Jack.* You're my favorite pirate! *James said happily, now grinning from ear to ear. Will laughed a little and looked at Jack*

:Jack looked over at Will then the two twins. He smiled and crouched down at eye level with James:
"Is that so mate?" He asked. James nodded. Jack grinned. "Well.....then it a honor to meet you mate..." He said and shook Jame's hand. The kid looked tickled to death. Jack laughed then looked at Catherine:
"And you are the bonnie lass Miss Catherine then?" He said. The little girl nodded and made a attempt to hide behind her father's leg. Jack laughed and then caught sight of the necklaces. He knew how to get them interested.:
"I see you got little stars there around your neck....do you know what the North Star is?" The twins glanced at each other then back at Jack. "Well.....the North Star is the only star in the sky that doesn't move...a sailor's best friend it is...it helps you find your way..."
:Catherine began edging closer and Jack grinned, then sat cross legged on the floor next to his cel door: "I remember a time..." He began telling the twins about a night he'd been lost at sea with the Pearl.: "We were lost....the storm was very bad..and we were sure we'd be dead by the next morning if we didn't find land..." The Twins eyes grew wider and wider. Jack grinned. "But...see.....suddenly there was a break in the clouds....just enough to see the stars..." He smiled. "And I saw the North Star...beautiful thing....glittering like a little jewel. We were saved because of that star...pointed us home it did..."
:By this point, Catherine had come over to sit next to James. and Jack smiled: "You're special little kiddies..you know that? To have a North Star.....real precious little kids..." He looked over at Will, who was grinning. "Did your father ever tell you about the time we met?"
:The twins nodded eagerly: "He said you cheated" Jack burst into laughter at that.

*Will stood there, his arms folded across his chest and smiled as Catherine inched her way towards Jack. Eventually both children were completley rivited by his story telling. Even Will found himself listening intently. Then he laughed and blushed when the kids announced that Will said Jack cheated. He knealt down and ruffled the hair on their heads.* You weren't supposed to mention that! *He grinned. James turned around and smiled up at his dad then quickly spun back around to Jack.* Tell us the story again Mr. Sparrow! *James exclaimed. Catherine nodded her head and both leaned forward ready to listen again. Even Will wanted to hear it from Jacks point of view. Then Will noticed something different about Jack and after a while of thinking realized he may have been attacked the night before. He looked at him oddly for a second but said nothing, it was the twins moment with him now.*

Post by Saber & Kat Tompson on Sept 11, 2003 23:01:28 GMT -5
Saber continued to look for Kat in any and all the taverns. "I dont know Emma, she doesnt appear to be anywhere. Lets go back to the Turners and get some more help." The two turn back to the house.
Meanwhile Kat has found her way to the Turners and unlike her reakless sister waits for Saber and Emma to get back. Knowing that they will turn up eventually.
Flame was lounging about in an ally. Snakes had told them to keep an eyes out for any of Jacks crew, and maybe hassle them a bit. He saw two girls walk past in a hurry. "Thats them." he mutterd. Hiding his face a bit he began to follow them. He decided the smaller one, the one with the blue scarf around her head, would be the easiest. Comming up behind them he reached out and grabbed Saber putting a hand over her mouth and grabbing her hands behind her. He dragged her into the dark ally. He threw her to the ground and put a knife to her throat.
Saber lay on the ground not daring to move. Her attckers face was hidden in shadow and he was much bigger and stronger than she. Her only hope was that Emma noticed she was gone and that she wouldnt be stupid enough to follow her and try to rescue her. he stared up into the dark face trying to keep the fear out of her eyes.

:Jack had grinned at Will, then looked at the twins: "Aye...well....I did cheat a little....." He smiled. "But your father makes things so difficult when it comes to escaping..."
:Jack grinned....then began recounting the story, the adventure when he first encountered Will and Elizabeth.:
:By the time he got to the sword fight, the twins were hanging on every word. Jack left in all the little details...then he got to the part with Will getting him out of Jail, and something sad flickered over his eyes, before he continued.:
"So...yer father and I scuttled underwater in a little boat..to commandeer a ship.....that means...to....take something without asking......savvy? But it's not stealing!" Jack pointed out quickly. He got to the bit about him hanging Will over the side of the Interceptor on the sails, and the twins burst into giggles.:
:He did leave out parts of Tortuga...but contiued at once with the ship and it's crew, sending the twins into a fi of laughter at Jack being smacked. The story went on...he got to the part of being stranded on teh island with Elizabeth:
"Now...yer mummy.....see..she was a smart lass....even if I didn't understand it at the time...but she made a really big fire...and got the royal navy to come and help us..." He grinned a bit. But he went on....until he came to the battle in Isle DeMureta. Oh if the twins were'nt hooked before.they were now. There eyes practically popped out of their heads. Jack toned the gory parts down a bit. Explainging how he took the gold from teh chest. How Will and Eliazbeth fought together, and Norrington, brave man that he was, took over the ships once the curse was lifted. His voice wasn't bitter at all when he mentioned Norrington, as you would expect. It still had a hint of respect in it.:
:finally Jack ended the story......telling how Will had saved him yet again....and Norrington gave Elizabeth up to Will. He smiled and concluded with his return to the Pearl:
:At this point Jack asked the twins: "Do you know the pirate song?" The twins burst into a very spirited version of "pirate's life for me" at the top of their lungs. Jack was sure they'd bring the fort down. Jack joined in with them. and soon the entire fort was alive with the song:
:Jack had caught Will's glance his way eariler. He wanted to ask if he'd been attacked, and very calmly, Jack turned to Will, and looked him in the eyes, then nodded. Which said plainly: "Yes....someone here is going to kill me....but I'm fine right now..." The worst of the injuries were hidden under Jack's clothes. The bruises were he'd been kicked were under the shirt.:
:his face was still pale though, but he didn't wanto t say anything yet. He watched the twin's reactions, as he told them about his crew, and the adventures of the Pearl. He told them exactly what the Pearl looked like and added: "my crew would let you have a look on it if you wanted....it's docked outside in the harbor...just have yer dad look for it...savvy?" He gave Will a small glance and smiled:

*The twins listened to the whole tale with astonishing interest. When it ended and they were asked if they knew the pirate song they sang it as loud and proud as they could, and were happy when Jack pitched in. Will laughed hystarically. Then Jack gave Will a look and a nod and Will understood instantly what it meant. His brows knit together and he frowned a little. Then he smiled back at Jack at the mention of showing the twins the Pearl. They squealed with excitment.* Go up the stairs and wait by the door and then I'll take you to see it alright. *Will said. The twins nodded, said their goodbyes to Jack and scurried off. Will leaned against the bars and gave Jack a serious look.* Jack I'm sorry for whatever happened to you last night. I'll make sure that the guards don't leave their posts for anything tonight. *Will said, then gave a nod to Jack and went upstairs to take the twins to the Pearl.*

Emma nodded."Right.We've checked all the pubs I can think of,anyway..."The two walked in silence for a while,then Emma noticed something.
Saber was gone.She spun around,then abruptly stopped,remembering what had happened last time she had rushed into a fight.She glanced down at her arm and sighed.She would need help.
Emma bent down and picked something up off the street,to make anyone who might be watching think that was what she'd turned back for,then walked as fast as she could back to the Turner house.As soon as she got there,she ran up to Kat,not caring now that she had gone missing (after all,she'd come back,hadn't she?) in her panic.
"Kat,something's happened to Saber!We've got to do something!"
