Sarah smiled at Maria. Yes, I'm finally here! Sarah thought as Rick asked about any personal business. Sarah quickly thought of a note and asked Maria. You wrote a note, right? Just make sure we put that some where noticeable!

*Arayel turned to the young lady that came up to them.* I suppose ye would be Sarah then? I'm Arayle, Arayel Marie Montclaire. Je suis enchante. *She said with a smile and a bow. As she rose she couldn't help but Laugh at Emma as she realized they had forgotten about provisions. Then took off after her when she ran off.* Wait, I'll help ye mate. 'sides someone needs to make sure you pick up enough rum to last us a week. *she grined a cheshire cat grin as they hurried along*

(OOC: I- HAVE - RETURNED!! Wow, you guys did some serious posting while I was gone I see... I'm just gonna assume that I'm still on my ship and that no one has really said or done anything to me since Jacqueline's last post, savvy? If I do something wrong, just edit it for me, alright? ) ~Barbossa ::He was once again at the helm of the Black Pearl. Jack the Monkey was perched on his shoulder, and at his side were two small children, a boy and a girl, bound together and crying out for their mother. He was the most feared pirate in the Spanish Main, and for good reason...::::Barbossa suddenly rubbed his head, and sat painfully up on the mattress. "A dream..." he thought. Once his eyes had adjusted to the seemingly bright light, he looked around at his room. He was alone again, and the room was empty save for a small plate of now-cold food on the desk. He carefully stood up and wandered over to the door:: ::He stepped out onto the deck, picking at the stitches in his arm, when he tripped over something in the dark. Standing up, he could make out the figure of Flame lying on the deck, surrounded in a pool of blood. He shook his head in disgust, unable to remember when this had happened. Suddenly, he heard a mocking voice nearby::[/i] "Well Bossa, looks like ye finally woke up, eh? Not much of a pirate if ye can't even handle one li'l bullet, mate." ::Barbossa spun around, and found himself face to face with...Saber. The alcohol was wearing off, and Barbossa was beginning to recollect what had happened earlier. He sneered at her, and drew his sword. He pressed it against her neck and grinned at her::"Ye best be watchin' what ye say here, missy. Not everyone on me ship is as forgivin' as me..." ::He pressed the blade harder, drawing a little blood, and then backed away. He tightened Saber's rope and smiled at her::"Can't 'ave ye sneakin' around in the dead o' night now can we?" ::Barbossa walked over to the railing and looked out at the city of Port Royal shrinking slowly into the distance. Something about the view made him think about his dream, and the two small children that were at his feet. He hadn't recognized them, nor did he understand what the dream was trying to tell him, but he suddenly got the feeling that he should return to shore::
::He called out to his crew to turn the ship about and make for the port again. Without offering an explainantion, he returned to his cabin, and slammed the door::
~Later
::The Cutlass sailed silently into the harbor of Port Royal, alerting no one of it's arrival. As it docked, Barbossa slipped quietly off the ship and headed back into the streets::
::He didn't know exactly where he should be going, but he took a chance and began to make his way into the heart of the city. He was careful to stay in the shadows and avoid the taverns, less he find himself in the same situation as last time::
::Before long, Barbossa found his way to the large and beautiful home of the Turner's, although he had no way of knowing it. He stopped outside, contemplating robbing the rich occupants, when he heard laughter coming from an open wondow on the second floor::"Children..." ::Barbossa said aloud. Something about their voices seemed familiar:: "..It can't be...that was only a dream!" ::He told himself. Afterall, what were the chances?!::
::But eventually, his curiousity got the better of him, and he climbed through an open window at the side of the house. As quietly as possible, Barbossa made his way up the stairs toward the room where the children had been playing. He cracked the door slightly, and his jaw dropped::
::Before him in the room were the little boy and girl from his dream, sitting on the nursery floor playing with their toys. For a moment, Barbossa didn't know what to do. He considered killing them, but to what end? Besides, they were only children. He also considered leaving, but this was too much of a coincidence to just walk away. While he sat watching the two munchkins and debaing on their fate when he heard a voice behind him::"Excuse me, just who d'you think you are?!" ::She said. The children stopped playing and looked up at the sound of Abigail's distressed tone. Barbossa glared at her, and then grabbed her by the shoulder::"Who's house is this?" ::He demanded::"W-why, Mr. and Mrs. Turners'! ...What do you want from us?!" ::Abigail choked out::
::Barbossa released his grip slightly:: "The Turners'...ye say?" ::He couldn't believe it. This had to be more then coincidence!:: "Well... I guess I'll jus' be off then.... Oh, and say 'ello ta Will for me when ye wake up." ::He grinned, and hit Abigail across the face, causing her to fall unconcious against the wall. The children began screaming, and Barbossa turned his attention back to them::"'Ello, mates...time ta go fer a little trip, what d'ye say?" ::He picked the children up and rushed out of the house, making his way back to the docks in the darkness::
(OOC: Woah...sorry it's so long mates. Ok, so now I have the Turtle kids *snicker* and Abigail (Maria was still outside the house I belieeve so I made it Abigail Ihope you don't mind Bossakins) is unconcious outside of their room....let me know if I need to change anything, savvy?)

*Elizabeth finally turned from the docks and started walking back towards home. She had a funny feeling niggling at the back of her mind. Like something just wasn't quite right. But that was nonsense the children were safe at home with Abigail. But still the feeling only worsened with each step she took, untill finally she broke out into an all out run. She rushed through the doors and up the stairs, her mothers intuition telling her something was wrong with her children. He eyes went wide and her hands flew to her face as she saw the slumped figure of Abigail on the floor. Slowly she opened the door, fearing the worse. Her eye's brimmed over with tears as her fears were confirmed. James and Catherine were gone!. A wailing sob broke free from her then as she fell to the ground clutching at her hair.* My babies, where are my darlings? Who could have done such a thing! *She cried her hands sliding to cover her face. She sobbed for several moments before stumbling to her feet. She had to tell Will, he would know what to do, him and Jack. They would get her darling angels back safely from whoever had taken them. Though in the back of her mind her suspicions were already forming. Checking to be sure Abigail was well, she ran back out into the streets and raced to Will's forgery. She burst through the doors, and he paused, mid swing of his hammer as he glanced up at her. Her distress obvious.* Will...... *she said in a shaky voice, her knees buckling as she hovered on the edge of fainting, but she had to be strong, had to tell him what had happened.* Will, someones taken Catherine and James... *She finally managed before falling to the ground with a thud*

Emma grinned back at Arayel."Aye...not sure I could carry enough rum all by my onesies,"she replied jokingly.She walked quickly through the streets of the town,looking for a place where she could steal some food.Just then,she saw someone in a dress running as though her life depended on it into the blacksmith shop.
"Arayel...wasn't that Mrs. Turner?"She ran with catlike grace and stealth to the window of the forge,her ears listening for any noise from within.The woman said something,and Emma's jaw dropped.She shook her head,thinking.
Someone's kidnapped the twins...who would do such a thing?An enemy of the Turners,obviously.And what other enemy is there than...
She took off running,back towards the docks,calling back to Arayel.
"Forget the rum,mate!I've got a feeling we won't be takin' such a long trip as we thought!"

:Jack had wandered the streets a bit, then went to collect his sword at the Turner's place. When he arrived he saw Abigail on the floor and he ran over to her:
"Are you alright lass?" He said. Abigail didn't answer, so he picked her up and set her down on a couch. He listened a long moment, and didn't hear anyone else moving. Where were the children? "JAMES? CATHERINE?!" He shouted. Nobody answered. Jack turned back to Abigial who seemed a bit dazed. "Who did this?" he asked.
"Barbossa..." Abigial whispered. Jack's eyes grew dark and he ran upstairs. Once there, he got his sword...tied his banadana over his forehead, and smeared kohl over his eyes. Then he ran outside, towards Will's shop, knowing damn well he'd need the eunuch's help in this.:
:When he burst in Elizabeth was there...he heard what she had to say, and as she slumped over he caught her. He turned to Will:
"Mate....Barbossa's got yer kiddies...come on..." He picked up Elizabeth. "I'm going after him..."

*Elizabeths eyes fluttered open just as Jack scooped her up and said Barbossa had her children. Her eyes flew open the rest of the way and she struggled to her feet.* I knew it, the scum he has our babies Will. *Her eyes narrowed dangerously.* I'll kill him! *She yelled running towrds the one of the racks that held some of the many swords her husband forged. She felt someone grab her from behind and pull her back. She struggled for a bit longer before finally breaking down into heart wrenching sobs. It felt like someone had torn out her soul.* What're we going to do? We have to get Catherine and James back, before he.... *She trailed off her shoulders shaking with her silent sobs*

*Arayel laughed along with Emma at the joke and began to scout about for an easy mark. If they couldn't steal food, they could con a shopkeep out of it easily enough. She saw Emma's focus become distracted by a figure running by and said* Aye I do believe it was mate... *When she asked her if it was Mrs. Turner. She ran after Emma towards the forge and peered into the window. Her eyes wen't hard, and steely cold when she heard that Barbossa had taken the turner twins. She turned towrds Emma and nodded* Aye mate your right, we need to tell the crew of this. He won't get away with this. Not if I have any say in the matter. *With that the two of them went off running towards the docks*

Post by Will Turner on Sept 25, 2003 18:51:45 GMT -5
*Will finally got up from his spot on the bench and picked his hammer back up. As he hammered away at the sword again a strange feeling came over him. He paused a moment and glanced out the window, but seeing nothing out of the ordinary, he went back to his buisness with the sword. Then suddenly Elizabeth burst in through the door and said their children had been taken. At the sound of the words Will's breath caught in his chest and he dropped the hammer. He placed his hand up against his chest as if he was struggling to breath then saw Jack rush in and grab hold of Elizabeth before she fell. Will, who had finally gotten his breath back, looked at Jack and his eyes filled with tears. Then his wife took off towards a sword rack and he grabbed ahold of her to hold her back. When she finished her sentence with 'before he' Will couldn't hold it back any longer. He turned to the cluttered table beside him and with an angry cry, ran his arms across it, scattering everything to the ground. Then he fell upon his knees, face in his hands, and he sobbed. His whole body shook and as hard as he tried to fight it, the tears kept coming. He'd done it again. He let those he cared about get taken from him. His mind was spinning and nothing seemed clear to him. Then he swallowed hard, finally managing to choke back the tears and he looked up slowly. His eyes were squinted and filled with nothing but pure hatred and anger for Barbossa. He slowly got back to his feet, sheathing his sword and grabbing a pistol. Then he looked at Elizabeth and took another deep breath, stroking her cheek gently with his hand to wipe away her tears.* Im sorry Elizabeth. Im so sorry. *He said, his voice shook. Then he looked at Jack and gave him a nod that said 'I'm ready to kick arse'. As he walked outside all he could think about was the terror that his poor children must be facing at that very moment. He'd always told them he'd keep them safe and now they were in the most dangerous hands they could possibly be in. He'd failed them and he wouldn't be able to live with himself if anything ever happened to them. What kind of a father am I. *He said softly to himself, then he leaned against the wall outside the shop waiting for Jack and Elizabeth, waiting to see what the next move would be.

:Jack looked at Elizabeth, then with a strange amount of gentlness he patted her shoulder. He still did look rather akward...still without his normal amount of bravo. Even with the kohl and banadana....Which made the scene that much more strange:
"I'll get them back for you lass...." He said then looked at Will, watching him go through the stages of anger and fear then despair. Jack remained oddly calm. almost to calm. But that was what he did best. Find the clarity in insanity.:
"Mate....." he stopped. His entire body seemed to shake for a split second. He closed his eyes, and seemed to be having a hard time breathing for a moment.:
:When he opened his eyes again...he'd changed. that sly gleam was back in his eyes....and he grinned, showing every gold tooth. He had remembered.:
:looking at Will he gave him one of his old grins, then looked at Elizabeth:
"I promise on pain of death we'll get yer little kiddies back..." He loaded his gun as he said this, all the while still talking: "Can't have the Turners loosing children now...we need a few good pirates to keep the good commodore on his toes......." Finally he picked a sword out of Will's collection, looked it over and sheathed it next to his own.:
:With that he turned to Will: "get a sword...we're going to get yer kids back...."

Emma came running up to her friends,still standing by the Pearl.She tried to speak,but was out of breath from running all the way from the blacksmith shop to the docks.She bent over double,trying to catch her breath.
Rick saw Emma running towards them,sans provisions,and the first thought that crossed his mind was Oh,God,who's trying to kill her this time?
He drew his pistol as soon as she and Arayel were past,aiming at the area they'd come from."What'd ye do now?"He asked Emma conversationally.
Emma stood up."No one's following us,Rick.It's just,we 'ad te get back an' tell ye all...I think Barbossa's here'e's kidnapped the Turner kids!"

Sarah ran behind Maria as they went to put the notes in the Turner house. Sarah thought she saw Elizabeth running the the blacksmith's shop, and quickly stopped Maria. Wait, somethings not right, follow me! Sarah ran to the blacksmith's shop where she saw Jack and Will standing at the door. She thought she heard crying, and quickly pushed pass them. When she entered she saw Elizabeth kneeling on the floor, sobbing. Sarah quickly ran to her. Elizabeth, Lizzy dear, what's wrong? What happened? There there now, don't cry! Sarah put her arms around Elizabeth, and gave her a comforting hug. Now won't you tell me what happened?

:Jack watched Sarah push past him and will, then he answered:
"Barbossa has the twins......I'm gonna bring them back...." His eyes grew icy cold and he went over to Elizabeth: "Don't cry....." Then he added softly: "Come on now lass....you put up with me on a island and my singing for a entire night..if that doesn't make you tough nothing will....."
:He turned to Sarah: "Take care of her....savvy?"
