-Clarion- *Clarion gave up his search for Barbossa and headed back to the fort, cursing beneath his breath. He wasn't paying attention to where he was going and ran right into a little boy, knocking the child to his bottom. The boy looked up at him and frowned then stood up and grabbed his fathers hand. Clarion looked surprised to see Will standing there. He couldn't very well do his usual and make the kid sorry for getting in his way, he had to keep his cool. So he simply smiled and patted the child on the head.* Sorry about that little master. G'day sir. *He said, tipping his hat at Will. Will raised an eyebrow then just walked off. Clarion glarred then prepared some food, lacing it with the poison and handed it to a guard. He smiled.* Could you take this to Mr. Sparrow please? *Clarion smiled as the guard delievered the food to Jack, then he went on about his way again.*

:Jack had nodded when Will said he'd see to the guards. He reached out and touched Will's shoulder: "Thanks mate....." He watched his friend go and frowned.:
:The problem here was that the guards just might be the attacker. He sighed and sat down on the cot. So..those were the twins. Will would have his hands full soon enough. James looked like the spitting image of his dad...Catherine had her mother's beauty and some of Will's blanet shyness in her eyes. He smiled, glad to have seen them again. Last time he'd seen them it'd ben when they were babies.:
:He wondered how Elizabeth was doing. And the others. He had a feeling his crew was with the Turners. He wondered if Tobbs had spontanously combusted out of anger at his capture. He hoped Rose was safe.:
:With a frown, he closed his eyes, and just listened to the sounds around him, intent on catching anything strange. Or a match to the voice he'd heard during the night. the guads were still outside, and Jack closed his eyes, and fell into a very light sleep:
:He woke up when the guard brought him food shortly after. He just stared at it. Not sure if it was safe. So he let it sit a while. He'd think about it later. Now he was tired. So he went back to sleep:

(Im guessing its become nightfall now, right? Ill go off of that, and if tis wrong, Ill edit me post!)
*Snakes muttered as he heard Flame's mocking voice. But, as always, he did nothing, as each of his pals, or so they were called, were a "valuable asset" to him.*
*For the day that followed, as well as the next, he warned to watch for Jack's crew and hassle them a bit. Keeping a keen eye out as he boarded at the tavern, he made sure his visits were only to sleep or drink, and that was all...*
*Snakes grinned. He'd met up with Stephen and had been working out more arrangements in a nearby alley, mostly talk of the money being paid to him. It had grown shadowy in the streets, and night began to fall, when Snakes heard a scurry in the corner. Looking over, he saw Flames with someone....aye, Flame had always been a mocker, but he always followed orders, which sat well with Snakes.*
*Turning to leave him to his own business, he turned his attention to the man before him.*
"So ye be payin' fer advancemen's then?"
*The other shook his head, making Snakes fidget a bit, for he was a man who loved money and rippin' off people was the best way to do it. Sighing, he spoke again.*
"Wha'cha be wan'in wi'h this lass?"
"That is my own business."
"Fine fine, bu' she be a 'ard one 'o ca'ch, so there be an increase in payment!"
*He grinned again as the man nodded. He was about to shake his hand when he heard a familiar voice and immediately was angry and irritated. Blast it all! Had she always have to be around when an important matter was being agreed upon? And now he'd lose money!*
*He looked to the direction Tobbs's voive was coming from and then to Stephen.*
" Time 'o fe'ch yer lass!" ~~~~~~ (SABER! I hope Im not interruptin anythin', I could be doin this after whatever ye have to do with Flame is over, but if I am messin things up, tell me and Ill edit!)
*Tobbs had continued her run down the alley when... BAM!!! She ran smack into someone, but instead of the other falling over, she sort of "bounced" right off of the figure and fell to the ground.*
*Looking over, she saw...Saber? Had that girl always found herself in trouble? Sighing and smiling, she looked up at the figure who now could be seen in the moonlight by herself. He looked oddly familiar, but she said not a word that quavered, rather acted relaxed and coolly, as if nothing had happened worth noticing.*
"Saber, there ye are! Ye 'ad the whole crew worried! C'mon, time ta go!"
*Standing and ushering Saber forward, they turned around and were about to flee when they both felt cold metal upon the back of their necks. Stopping, they looked at eachothe, then turned around.*
"Ye be stoppin' there, lasses. We go' business wit ye!"
*Anger filled Tobbs's eyes. Snakes!!! The wretch! Glaring coldly at him, she faced him, edging her sword towards his stomach in a quick motion. She was about to threaten him when she felt someone grasp her from behind, and though she struggled, she was just recovering and had not all the strength in the world to break free, but she did present a veritable fight, making sure to sink her nails in the captor's arms and draw blood from Snakes's torso with her dagger as she was pulled away.*
*Shock made her pause as she heard yet another familiar voice, the voice of...the man's??*
"Quit your struggling miss, we aren't going to hurt you."
*She actually laughed mockingly.* "
Not 'urt me? I'm not a fool ye twit! Though I coulda been mistaken as one, lettin' ye 'elp me!"
*She grew pale at the thought of when she asked for his help*
"What did ye do wit Rose? If ye 'urt 'er, I'll make sure ya get a slow, painful death to bear!"
"You gave me rules, I abided them. She's safe; I've not hurt her at all." ~~~~~~~ (*g* Jackulums, if this messes somethin up fer you, Ill edit it as well) *Snakes watched the whole matter with pride. So Tobbs would be dealt with, and Saber dealt with, Now he'd pay a visit to Jack Sparrow...*
*Sneaking slyly past the prison guards was the easy part. Finding Jack's cell, was a bit difficult, as well as getting a uniform from a guard he'd knocked out on and distracting Mr. Sparrow's personal guards to go away. Now he pressed his face to the bar and hissed*
"Messster Sparrrrraaaa...wake up!"
*He watched Jack stir and look towards the bars. He shifted into a patch of newly risen sunlight so to be visible and grinned a sly, snakish grin*
"Ya've 'ad yer rest for te night. It be mornin' now, dawn's been wakin' up everyone....which leaves me little time, doesnt it?" *He paused so Jack could near him a bit.* "I know who framed ye, know who the devil issss...." *Sensing he'd lit an interest, he continued*
"Aye, a sly devil, one me thinksss Ill look up to...I think ye can indure a few more days a not knowin who did it...mebbe till ye break that spirit 'o yers?"
*To see a slight stir in Jack's eyes stir, and he knew while trying to hide his emotions and keep a calm air, his words had an effect. So he moved to a bigger topic, emphasizing every word he spoke...*
"Yer daughter be a pretty one, indeed she be. Too bad one 'o me men got to 'er first... oh, and that tempermental creature, a filly she be indeed, in need a some breakin' too, that Tobbs lass? Best be not wastin' yer thoughts on 'er either, me thinks my encounter wit 'er just a few hours ago and the same man who helped wit yer daughter will take 'er off yer list of things to think about as you rot in this cell."
*Now snakes knew this was an emotional level he was tampering with, but since Jack was behind bars and Barbossa and Clarion had somewhat had the navy among their sides, Snakes considered himself as one of Barbossa's, so why not help them with Jack? To see the famous Captain be broken would be an honor. He grinned devilishly at Jack and pointed to his food.*
"Not 'ungry? Pity. Ye'll be needin' food to stay alive...or kep yer mind off things..."

(ooc-TOBBS YOUR WONDERFUL! *huggles* I actually had no idea what I was going to do with all that *g* Now I have a plan mwahahahaaa. Oh who did you mean by "and that tempermental creature, a filly she be indeed, in need a some breakin' too"? Its not quite clear who you mean.)
Saber gave a stiffled yell when Tobbs ran into her. The knife that was to her throat cut in slightly. "Oh God Tobbs" She hissed and grinned as Tobbs and she turned to leave "I owe you a drink." Then cold metal pressed against the backs of their necks. Again she was grabbed from behind but this time she wasnt about to let them get her so easily. Struggling she managed to pull forth one of her hidden knives, slashing at Flame who had come up in front of her to help the man behind. He cried out but came at her and punched her in the face. Saber was stunned for a moment and a moment was all they needed. Quickly the got a better hold on her and dragged her over to where Tobbs was. Tobbs appeard to know these people. Well Saber knew them too, from a short incounter and adventure with Kat. But Tobbs seemed to know some of their names even. Saber felt blood trickle down her chin and realized her mouth was bleeding. As she turned her head to wipe the blood on her shirt she turned her face into a more lighted place.
Flame was holding his left hand. "I'll have that scar forever" he was muttering to himself. His left hand, because of his burns, wasnt much good anyway, but now.... He did have the satisfaction of punching the girl and she was bleeding, he noted as she turned her face into the light. "Wait a minute! 'old it roight there." he reached forward and grabbed Sabers face. He let go and said with a snear. "Mates look what I just happend ta catch. Saber Tompson the little do gooder and rescuer for her big sister." Flame shook his head and said in a mocking sad voice. "Too bad ye had ta get caught, I dont think your sister will ever see ye alive again."
Saber held herself, but she wanted to kill that boy. He was infact much younger than she but he was taller and stronger by far. Her breathing became heavy as she worked herself up thinking about what might happen to her.
Kat look at Emma with a calm face. "Emma I dont think any thing bad has happend to Saber. I mean shes part of Jacks crew and that lot that swore to kill both of us is back in Tortuga." (or so Kat thought.) Emma still looked worried. "Look if shes not back by morning we'l go out for her. I know she went looking for me, but that because she was worried about the navy. Saber at this point cant get in any trouble with them unless she breaks the law here and now." Kat sighed "You and me on the other hand......If we do go out we should take one of Jacks crew with us. Im not afraid, but for the sake of everything it would be safer."
(ooc- *looks up at post* yep im begining to know what you mean Tobbs. They just get longer and longer.

:Jack wasn't too sure who this new person was in front of his cel doors, but the angry in him rose to the boiling point. Pent in rage was threatening to spill over. He walked over to the man calmly:
"If you be thinkin' you can get to me like that mate..." Suddenly, Jack's arm reached through the bars, and grabbed the man's shirt collar. Jack's fist dug into the shirt, and he jerked the surprised man's face forward closer. "Touch my daughter and so help me, I will see to it you die the most horrible death known possible to man......lay one finger on Victoria and the same stands......savvy mate?" He glared into the man's eyes.:
:Quite suddenly, the grip he had on the man stiffened, and he jerked him forward again, knocking his head into the cel bars. With a pleased look on his face, Jack gave the man's head a slight kick with his booted foot and turned away.:
:He'd try to escape, now that Rose and Tobbs were in danger. Before.....he'd considered just....letting things happen, and see if the law would free him. Now he had no choice. He needed out...quickly. His eyes turned to the man on the floor.:
:He wasn't one of Norrington's men.......that was a sure thing. So when he woke up he'd probably scuttle away on his own so he wouldn't be caught. Jack watched the man a while, then pondered calling for Norrington, to tell him what was going on. Surely the Commodore would help him. Jack looked at the food on the floor warily. He wasn't going to touch it just yet, even though he was very hungry:
:He paced the floor instead, then looked out into the harbor. He could see the Pearl docked. His heart was pounding. Rose and Tobbs were out there someplace....possibly hurt. And he couldn't help them! He was angry. Beyond angry really. He began pacing, hoping the man would just leave. Then maybe he could think of a way out:

*Will glarred as the man ran into his son, knocking him to the ground. But James was a tough little boy, he just looked up annoyed then returned to his feet and grabbed his fathers hand. When Clarion appologized Will raised an eyebrow then walked off towards the dock to show the twins the Pearl like he had promised. When he found it he let them first admire it from the dock then he worked his way on board, helping them up.* I'm sure Jack wouldn't mind you looking around but don't touch anything. *Will said but it was too late. James had already lifted a rum bottle and was examining it, then dropped it. It shadered upon the deck causing James to shoot a worried look towards Will. Will groaned then knealt down and began picking it up. Catherine and James started to help to but Will kept batting away their hands.* Don't touch the glass. Catherine let me- James I said stop it- You two! *Will scolded, his voice getting louder and louder as he spoke. The twins jumped and looked at him surprised, Catherine even pouted a little. He suddenly felt bad for yelling at them when they were only trying to help. He gently pulled them towards him and placed his hands on their shoulders.* I didn't mean to yell at you. I just have a lot on my mind right now. *He said slowly, thinking about Jack again. The twins hugged him and smiled.*Its alright daddy. We still love you. *Catherine said, patting him on the head. Will grinned and scooped them up, leading them off the Pearl.* Now lets get home, I promised your mother I'd have you there by lunch. *He said and they returned back to the house. Lunch had already been served and cleared so Will heated up some soup for the twins and set them at the table, then went into the living room where Elizabeth was looking out the window. He came up from behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder.* How was your visit with Jack? Did the twins seem to like him? *Elizabeth asked. Will smiled then nodded. She turned to face him and she was smiling as well, happy to hear they liked him.* He told them a couple stories, they were rivited the entire time. I don't think I'd seen them listen so well in my entire life. James took right to him. *Will explained. Elizabeth laughed, glacning in the kitchen at her children who were chattering away to one another about the pearl.* Yes, I thought he would. How's Jack doing? I really need to go see him, when I can just get a moment. *She sighed. Will frowned a little.* He's not doing well, somethings very different about him and he was attacked last night by someone. I need to go talk to Tobbs. *He said. He kissed Elizabeth then rushed upstairs and knocked on Tobbs door. He didn't get a response so he opened it quietly and peeked inside. No one was inside. He raised a curious brow then looked around the house. Not only was Tobbs gone but Saber, and Rose were gone as well, as well as a couple others. He rushed back up to Elizabeth, his face filled with worry.* Where is Tobbs and Rose do you know? *He asked. She shook her head slowly and frowned.* No I haven't even seen Rose at all I don't believe. *She said. Will groaned and ran his fingers through his hair agrivated. The two people who needed to be kept in sight the most out of anyone, were no where to be found. As he glanced about the house, trying to come up with some sort of plan to find them, he spotted Kat. Maybe she would know something.* Kat! Do you know where Tobbs or Rose is, or Saber even? I need to talk to Tobbs about Jack its very important. *He said, approaching her, hoping she could tell him something, anything. He figured it was a good thing he wasn't a true pirate, he always seemed to be loosing things so he'd never be a wealthy man that way. Of course he wouldn't be wealthy now if it wasn't for the hopsitality of the Governor, since Will still only worked as a blacksmith. But none the less he was loyal to his friends and would find them no matter what.*
((ooc: I npc'd Elizabeth a bit hope thats alright))

Kat turned from Emma to Will. "Nay I not be knowin' where any o' them are. Emma here says that she and Saber were out lookin' fer me and then on the way back here Saber dissapeard. Im thinkin' she just went another way or stopped to look fer me in some tavern or somethin." She shrugged. "Im not really worried about 'er. Ive seen that she can take care of her self."
Menwhile Saber's arms were being held behind her as flame tied a rope about her hands. She began to struggle but a sword point to her chest stopped her. Flame wrenched her arms as he finnished tying the knots and Sabers face twisted slightly in pain.
"hmmm Im guessin the knots are a bit toight, dont ye think?" flame said mockingly. He laughed when Saber tried to lunge at him but was held back. "Now she had a hidden knife, thats what she got me with. She may 'ave more." he smiled a smile that ment no good, and with his burnt features it looked even more sinister. "Shall we look for some gents?"
Sabers mouth slowly opened then closed and her eyes grew wide "You wouldnt dare." She hissed. But the look on flames face was enought to tell her that he would dare. She began to struggle, kick and yell. A gag found its way over her mouth and a rope about her legs. She dropped to the ground, eyes wide with fear, looking up at flame as he stood over her.
