Once more.... 1. No spamming! 2. No swearing! 3. Keep ALL posts to at least five sentences... 4. Stay in character at ALL times! 5. If you have a question or comment, ask it in the proper thread! 6. READ ALL POST PRETAINING TO YOU, OR WHERE YOU ARE VERY CLOSELY. SAVVY?! 7. Have fun Here's the plot. It's been three years since anyone has seen so much of a hair bead of Jack Sparrow. Port Royale has been practically devoid of all pirate activity, as Commodore Norrington and Govener Swann have noted. A small gift from Jack Sparrow. He and his daughter Rose have taken to the Seas and havn't looked back. Will and Elizabeth have lived a relavity normal life, with only one visit from Jack and his crew a year after Sparrow escaped the noose and death at Barbossa's hands once more. Yet Barbossa has escaped, no longer immortal, but still seething with hate he goes in search of a way to destroy Jack Sparrow. After a long and difficult search he finds another of Jack's old enemies. A British officier in the Royal Navy...Lieutentant Clarion. Jack defeated Clarion years ago, in a raid on a British merchant vessel. Bitter, and ashamed young officer is still angry over the defeat. Together Barbossa and Clarion form a plot ro rid themselves of their common enemy. Barbossa disgueses himself as a member of the Royal Navy, now using the name Morgan Holland. Yet all is peaceful for a short time. Then news begins to spread in the Caribbean. A new settlement, new and unarmed settlement called Port Dantes is attacked. And not just any attack, but massacared. The small helpless population was brutally slaughtered. And left behind only one survivor at the main Port. Lietentant Clarion. He gives the navy a perfect description of Jack Sparrow and the Pearl naming those who attacked his Port. There is a problem however. Jack Sparrow is nowhere to be found, nor has he heard of the attack. He is in fact out searching for the last of his crew woman's family. Kat...Saber's sister. And he finds her in Tortuga...Kat. And something else happens Clarion didn't count on.... another person survived the battle....a young lady whom calls herself Raven. In Tortuga Jack is caught by the Navy and taken to Port Royale. There he meets a baffled and somewhat angered Norrington and a unsure Will and Elizabeth. And in the shadows waits Clarion and Barbossa, now seen as the heroic survivors of some horrible battle. Norrington's hands are tied. He is bound by the law, as is Governer Swann who can only ask for a delay in Jack's hanging. The Turners, having not seen Jack in three years, believe, or half believe the rumors....after all.....all evidence points to Jack. Will begs the crew of the Pearl to prove Jack's innocence, as the Captain awaits death in his cel. But he's not left alone. Clarion and Barbossa wish to break the man of his spirit. Helped along by small amounts of laudanum in his food and nightly tortures, Jack begins to loose his mind. All to late Clarion and Barbossa's plan is discovered by Jack's crew, who race to tell Norrington. However, they meet Clarion's loyal crew men, who engage the Black Pearl in a battle at Sea, delaying their voyage further. Yet they arrive in time, Norrington's own men sailing out to find the Pearl and escort her crew to Port Royale. Clarion is killed, at the hands of Jack's family and friends.....and Barbossa escapes again. Jack is left in ruins. His mind is gone and his body is weak and poisoned. Will and Elizabeth take him in, as his crew watches, hands tied and not sure of how to help him. For Jack doesn't seem to recongnize any of them, even his own dear Rose. To make matters worse the British Crown wants to kill Jack and plans to send a Royal Escort to Port Royale and hang him. If not for the massacre at Port Dantes, then for his many other crimes againest the Crown and it's Navy. This gives Jack less them a month to become strong again and set sail out into the Caribbean. His crew circle Port Royale as the days go by, visiting the Captain at the Turners, urging him to recover. But Jack's locked in his own shattered mind. In the end it is a attempt at the Turner child's life, on Rose....by Barbossa that Jack is forced to snap himself into reality once more. With the help of his crew, the Turenrs and friendships he's earned along the way, Jack sets out into the Caribbean, Captain of the Pearl once more. Have fun mates....

:Jack had merely given Elizabeth a snort and accusing glare, before turning back to his ship, leaving Willand his wife to talk amongest themselves.:
:He walked up and down the deck, touching the wooden planks with his hands, then going over to the mast, to peer up at the black sails that seemed to mean so much to him. To the figure head of the angel at the front of the ship...and he stood looking at it a while, before, again making his way to the wheel and looking around some more.:
:Then into the captain's quarters he strode, looking at the room he'd made his own. He could remember now bits and pieces of it....things he treasured....but it still didin't seem to fit together. Jack didn't know why but quite suddenly, when he sat down...he felt a sort of chill run up his back..... He came out and looked over at Will and frowned:
"Barbossa...." he said simply. "He's still alive....and he's nearby..." He looked around. "He'll be looking for me mate....best you and your lass stay away from me....." He looked a bit sad. But he knew in the back of his mind..that somehow....he was a daner to Will....someone who'd helped him so much...it made him sad:
"I'll try to find him on my own....I don't want to risk you and your little ones..." With that Jack turned and strode off the ship...not exactly sure where he was going. Well...first he'd have to go and find a sword...and a gun maybe...then from there...he'd hunt down the face that haunted his dreams for the past week and destroy it once and for all:

*Will listened as Elizabeth spoke and then he smiled a little at her as she mentioned the twins still being a little too young to go parading around on a pirate ship after someone of the likes of Barbossa* I know. They'll get their adventure in time, it's in their blood I'm sure. *He said, laughing softly. Then he saw Jack approach him and start talking about Barbossa and how he felt he had put Will and his family in danger by being around. Will opened his mouth to say something to him but Jack strolled off before he got the chance. Will looked back at Elizabeth and he hopped off the railing.* I better go after him. *He said and rushed down to the dock and after Jack. Finally he caught up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.* Jack you may not remember this but the two times I've needed the most help in my entire life, you were the one that gave me that help. I'm not just going to abandon you now and I'm sure that puts me in danger but I don't care. I'll do anything in my power to help you out Jack, whether you'd like me to or not. *Will said in a serious voice, looking intently at Jack.*

:Jack looked at Will..a slgiht grin breaking out on his face:
"Now I know why I got so worried about you doing stupid things mate...." He turned to look up at Elizabeth. who was still on the Pearl...along with memebers of his crew..and Tobbs. Jack sighed:
"Mate....I don't know if I'm coming out of this ....savvy?" His voice was casual....but his eyes were almost burning with a fire of completle hatred. It was something quite terrifiying. After all...for he past few days Jack's eyes had either been curious, passive, scared of blank. The change was alarming:
:He looked over at his reflection in the water, hating what he saw. Hating the fact that he'd been injured enough tio forget who he was....to be made so weak like this. He glared at the water then turned away and began walking again:
"I'm going to ifinish this mate....." He called over his shoulder. "And when it's all said and done I's rather the blood be on my hands..not yer own..."

*Will grinned a little and simply shrugged when Jack talked about remembering why he was worried about Will doing stupid things. Then when Jacks manner seemed to change Will watched and listened to him with a curious, slightly upset face. Then when he turned and just started walking away again Will made no effort to follow, at first. He was trying to decide what to say. Then Elizabeth approached him and mentioned that they should go home. He glanced at her but then back to Jack* Jack, you once told me that pirate was in my blood and i would have to square with that someday. *Will called after him.* And I didn't want to at first, but now I have. Well not it appears that this might just be with you for a while and you're going to have to square with that and understand that you can't do this on your own. Whether you like it or not Jack you're going to need help.* *Will added, then he swallowed hard, looked at Elizabeth with a look that said 'Im sorry i just need to be alone', and quickly walked away to his blacksmith shop. When he arrived he began pounding and shaping a sword, just to let off some steam. In his heart he knew Jack was right. Will had two children's safety to worry about now and he couldn't just go leaping into things head first without thinking. But he couldn't just stand aside and watch Jack fight this thing out on his own. He went back and foreth in his head, arguing with himself about what to do. If he went one way he'd abandon a friend who meant the world to him, and if he went the other way he put not only his life at risk but his families as well. Finally, he ceased his work and just slumped over on a bench, his face in his hands and he tangled with the thoughts in his mind.*

*Elizabeth merely sighed. She knew there was no way that Will was going to let Jack go off on his own. She watched as he went after the man and looked on as they spoke. She would worry about them both to be sure, but she would make sure the children stayed safe untill their father came home. With that thought she moved down the docks towards the two men again and laid her hand on Will's arm* Will shouldn't we return home and check on the children? *She said softly. They had already been away far longer than her liking and while she was certain Abigail was competent she didn't like being away from them for longer than was necessary. She merely nodded when he said he needed to be alone and watched as he walked off in the direction of his blacksmith shop. She wrapped her arms about herself and sighed. Things would all work out well for them. They just had to, they always did. She just had to trust in that. She turned towards the Pearl once more and sighed*

* As Arayel and Emma told her of the question if Kat should come, Maria nodded in accord.*
" Yes I agree. I don' think 'at Kat shoul' come. She can' see 'er siste' like 'at..... "
* Maria looked around then rested her hand in her pocket. She felt the letter and pulled it out. She read it again then set it back. The ideas that raced in her head had made her mind confused. She had no idea when to leave. Butsoon she thought.
Every one wold set out soon together she pulled Arayel, emma and rick closer so not a sound could get out*
" I think that we should leave now. Before anybody else sorsts out.But we must be swift. Not a soul must see us leave. Savvy!"
* She turned to Arayel*
" If Kat is not to coem with us you should watch over 'er."

Rick looked at Maria incredulously."Are ye so sure Arayel should stay be'hind?I don' know if it'd be good teh pit 'er against Kat.Ye never know what c'd 'appen teh someone as gets between Kat an' 'er family."
Emma nodded."I agree with Rick.If we leave now,"she continued in a quieter voice,"Then Kat won't be able to follow us anyway.She thinks we're leavin' tonigh',right,Arayel?"

" Alrigh'. Arayel can come along. Bu' we still need to move quick. Let no man or woman see yo Savvy!."

" There. Now all I need to is pack. But quick. We must no' waste tiime."

Emma blinked at Maria."Pack?What'd ye need te pack?"She indicated herself."Clothes,sword,pistols,knives,I'm set.When d'we sail?"
Rick laughed at Emma."Jus' cause ye never carry any of yer belongin's with ye,ye think no one else does?"He thwapped her on the back of the head-not hard enough for it to hurt,just as a sort of joke.Then he kissed her where his hand had hit,shrugging off any stares that this may have attracted."Anyway...I don' 'ave anythin' te pack either.So."He lowered his voice."Where de we meet?Wheres the ship ye said ye'd 'ave?"

" Its on the corner there waiting for us."

*Arayel gave Maria a hard look when she mentioned staying behind, but thankfully Emma and Rick talked her out of that nonsense. When she had said packing Arayel ust shook her head.* I have everything I need on me personage mate. *She said simply. She nodded when Maria pointed out where this Briar was to meet them.* So it's just waiting for Sara then is it? *she inquired*

Sarah decided not to bother Elizabeth at that moment, she seemed preoccupied. Instead Sarah went in search of Maria. She saw her and three other people, to whome she hadn't been introduced, leaving the Black Pearl. Sarah rushed after them. What are you up to Maria? You can't be leaving yet? Shouldn't we pack something? Food? Water?

Just then,Sarah came up."Oh...food and water...and rum!"Emma,in keeping with her reputation,had completely forgotten such a vital thing."Right...stay here."She walked a few steps,then turned around."'Ow long d'ye think we'll need provisions for?Ah,well,I'll pack for a week..."She wandered off.
Rick,who had stayed behind,sighed."Wonder where she's going to get all that food?"he asked sarcastically.He was,however,glad that Emma remained the same after all the changes in their lives."Once a theif,always a theif..."He smiled fondly,gazing in the direction she had gone."So,no one has any personal business to take care of before we leave?"
