*Elizabeth flinched as Will threw down the contents of his workbench. She leaned her face into Will's hand as he wiped away her tears and her heart broke anew when she heard him apologize then doubt what kind of father he was.* Will you're an excellent father, and husband. this isn't your fault my darling. *Elizabeth said. She turned to look at Jack with tear filled eyes when he gently laid his hand on her shoulder and promised to get her children back. She managed a weak smile and nodded her thanks to him. Then suddenly something changed in him. He grined one of his old sly grins, and he almost seemed to be himself... She almost laughed when he made the comment about needing more good pirates to frighten the commodore, but just couldn't manage any merriment. Though she snapped to attention when Jack told Will to get his sword, as they were going to get Catherine and James back* Not without me you aren't! *She said sharply* If you're going after Barbossa then I'm going with you. *She looked at the two men defiantly allmost as if daring them to argue with her.*

:Jack gave Elizabeth a grin..and nodded. Then laughed:
"Aye...I think you'll be helpful lass...." he tossed her a sword casually. "I almost feel bad for Barbossa...." But as he started for the stopped he turned back and looked at the Turners:
"I'm sorry I let him live those years ago....." He frowned. "I'll finish the job this time....you have my word..."

*Elizabeth caught the sword deftly by the hilt and nodded purposefully at Jack, a small determined smile playing across her lips. She had almost half expected some protestation from him, but Will hadn't spoken yet. She looked at her husband a moment, trying to read his expression, then turned back to Jack as he spoke once more.* There is no need to be sorry Jack, you showed the man mercy, which is very commendable, there was no way any of us could know that he would repay your kindness like this. *She walked up to him and hugged him gently, kissing his cheek quickly* I'm just grateful we have a friend like you Jack. *she said, then turned to her husband wrapping her arms about him and laying her head on his shoulder.* Are you ready my love? *She said. THough she knew there was no possible way any of them could be ready for what had just taken them all by surprise.*

When Barbossa had come out of his cabin Saber just couldnt help mocking him in some way. But after she did it she wished she hadnt. She looked in to Barbossa's eyes as he pressed his blade against her neck and winced when he cut the skin and drew blood. The he titend the rope even more. After he left she swore "Just as I was gettin them loose too."
~Later
Saber awoke in the dark of night. Some how she had managed to doze off standing up. As she tried to move something, she heard nose as if someone was comming on board. Barbossa was back. He was carrying something but Saber couldnt quite make it out in the dark. It was alive, she knew that because it was wiggling. Carefully she watched and waited to see what it was.
(ooc- Im gonna try and get on later, but I dont know if I can. Barbossa I think you should maroon Saber somewhere on the journey because I dont think I can participate in the next RPG, and that would be a good excuse as to why shes not there.)

"WHAT?"Rick's eyes went wide."Barbossa kidnapped the twins?"Emma nodded at him.He shook his head."'e's gone too far.They're jus' kids...this is out of line,'e's going to catch it fer this...Where is 'e?"
Emma shook her head."I didn' see 'im,but 'e's got te be aroun' 'ere someplace.We've got te find 'is ship."She looked around at the docks,and saw a ship that hadn't been there before."Bloody 'Ell,how'd ye manage not te see that before?"She shook her head at her companions,then took off towards the Cutlass,pistol in hand.

*Will was still leaning against the wall outside. Then he felt a little more calm and stepped back into the little shop. A moment later he noticed an instant change in Jack and he flashed his infamous golden smile. Will smiled back at him a little, happy to see Jack was nearly his old self again, but then he frowned again and listened to Elizabeth. He said nothing when she said it wasn't his fault, he couldn't help but feel that way whether it was his fault or not. When she said then that she would accompany on them on this 'rescue' Will felt both delighted and utterly afraid. He didn't want to risk loosing her too, but then without her he didn't know how well he would fare mentally. So after a long moment of silence, when she wrapped her arms about him, he did the same to her then nodded and smiled.* Im ready. *Then he looked at Jack and reached out and patted him on the shoulder.* Don't appologize for letting him go then Jack. You weren't the only one who stood aside and watched him go. I was there too, as was Elizabeth. *Then he clutched the sword a little tighter in his hand, the one that Jack had handed to him.* And this time I'm not leaving this little adventure until I've had a good fight with Barbossa. I'll make him wish he'd never even touched my children...even if its the last thing i do. *Will stated then glanced at everyone in the room before walking out the door. Where he was headed he had no idea, he just hoped Jack would take the lead.*

:Jack marched out of the shop....looking ready to kill. He seemed to have a good understanding of where he was going. He just had to follow the cold chill running up his spine and he'd find Barbossa:
:He couldn't have gotten far. The twins were bound to give him hell about takingthem. He hoped they had their parent's sense. They'd be able to hold Barbossa back a bit, he smiled a bit, and continued walking. He knew Barbossa would head for a ship.....to get away from the area.....he needed a way out. and he'd need a smaller ship too....something he'd be able to manage on his own. That thought in mind he went for the docks:

(OOC: Ok Saber, you got it ) ~Barbossa ::Barbossa struggled with the two children in the street, trying to drag them away from their home and back to his ship. But, as he figured, they weren't very cooperative. Eventually, he tore off two strips of his coat and gagged them, hoping that would keep them under control. It worked long enough for him to get them onboard the Cutlass...::
::As he dragged them onto the deck, he glanced over at Saber, who was still tied to the mast. "I've got to find someway to get rid of her...but later," he thought. First he would have to take care of these two brats::
::As the ship set sail, he took them to an empty cabin next to his own, and shoved them in::"Be good little kids fer Uncle Barbossa, eh? Stay 'ere an don' make a sound...or ye won' eat fer a week!" ::He slammed the door as he walked out of the room, and then walked over to Saber. He glared at her, and tried to think of a way to get rid of her::"Ye been nothin' but trouble since the day we crossed paths mate. An now 'ere ye are, bound an unarmed at my mercy. But...what ta do with ye? I can' just kill ye, no...that's far too good fer ye. I ought ta make ye suffer - a fate worse than death, whaddya say?" ::Barbossa scanned the horizon, until he found what he was looking for. He smiled::"Well, well, well.... Looks like yer in luck, mate. Ye may not be shark food just yet. Ye see that island out there? That be the same island I last marooned yer friend Jack Sparrow on. But, seein' as 'ow he's already escaped twice, I'd say yer options are somewhat slim. So...'ope ye can swim!" ::Barbossa ripped the rope off of her hands, and dragged her over to the plank. He stood back and forced her to walk by jabbing her with his sword::"Get movin' lass!" ::With one final kick to the plank, Saber toppled over into the ocean. As Barbossa watched, she swam off into the distance toward the Rum Island. He turned back, hoping never to have to see her again::

:Jack ran for the Pearl......he began untying things with quick hands, preparing to lift anchor and make a run for the Sea. Barbossa had to be heading for a place he knew.:
:With Will, his crew and Elizabeth in tow he began to lift anchor, shouting orders to the crew, and unfurled the sails himself. The black sails snapped to lift, filling with wind almost on the instant, billowing out. Jack moved about as if this were all second nature..indeed it was. He didn't take time to explain exactly what he was planningot do...but he had a idea of what route Barbossa might take:
:Furious with himself for leaving the twins unguarded, he began cutting the ropes that were stubbornly knotted and made for his cabin. There he flung open a chest loudly, and pulled out a map, and spread it out on a table.:
:It was old......very old. Jack's eyes raced over it. He knew Barbossa loved gold...and that was pretty much it. He knew of several big treasures buried along the route to Isle DeMuerta......he was willing to give those up in exchange for the Turner Twins safety....if Barbossa demanded it. But honestly he was just hoping for one clear shot at Barbossa:
:Finally the Pearl began to move out of the docks. He looked towards the Fort. No doubt Norrington would be angry about this....he smiled a bit then saluted the fort, before turning back around, moving as if the demons of hell were on his heels:
:When he finally stopped to take a breath it was to speak to Will and Elizabeth:
"You can have my cabin...I'll not be sleeping until those kiddies are found....savvy?" With that he turned around, Captain Jack Sparrow once more and made for the wheel, a odd glittering look in his eyes:

*Will watched as Jack hurried past him and to the docks. He followed with Elizabeth beside him and ran towards the Pearl, shoutting to the crew members that he passed to make their way to the Pearl as they were setting sail very soon. Leaping on board he helped his wife up then helped Jack ready the ship to set sail. FInally they were on their way and when Jack saluted the fort Will laughed a little and gave a comforting smile to Elizabeth. Then Jack approached them and offered his own cabin to them. Then Will looked out towards the horizon, knowing that his kids were out there somewhere. I won't sleep either, not until I know they're safe and have made Barbossa pay for their kidnapping. *Will said then he leaned against the railing and watched Port Royale shrink behind them.*
-Turner Twins- *Catherine and James were crying softly as Barbossa drug them from their home and to the Cutlass. They kicked and wiggled about in hopes of breaking free from this man who had them frightened and confused out of their minds but the couldn't get away and he gagged them, which frightened them even more. When he threw them into the Cabin they finally realized who he was. And even though they were young they weren't stupid. Their father and mother had told them many stories about this man and they both feared and hated him. James glarred at him and spit at him and then Barbossa left. When the door was shut the two small children climbed on top of a desk and peeked out the tiny window, watching their once safe little corner of the world dissapear.*

*Elizabeth Followed Will and Jack out of the smithy and down to the docks. She didn't know what it was she would do once they found Barbossa, but she knew it definitely wouldn't be nice. She could only imagine how her children must be feeling at the moment. Scared and alone at the mercy of some strange man they had never met. Her fury boiled inside of her the more she thought about it. She climbed aboard the pearl with Will's help and watched as he, Jack and the crew of the Pearl got the ship ready to sail. When Jack told them they could have his cabin she merely nodded.* Thank you jack, that is most kind of you. *She knew tough, sleep wasn't something either her nor her husband would come by easily untill their children were returned safely to them. She tried to smile as Will gave her a comforting glance, but didn't succeed very well at all. Elizabeth moved to stand next to will, and laid her hands on the railing letting the wind whip her hair back as they sailed away from Port Royale. She could only hope that Catherine and James were safe, they were both smart. She just hoped that they didn't take after their father and do anything stupid...*

Saber realized at the last moment what and who Barbossa had. Her eyes grew wide and she tried to get the rope off even more fircely, she could feel her wrists chaffing and even bleedng. He threw the children in a cabin and now came back over to her.
Saber difiently looked Babossa in the eye. She actually smirked when Barbossa talked about her being trouble. "Anyone whos knows me long enough knows trouble is my middle name."
She did go a bit grim when he began to talk about a fate worse than death. Barbossa was a cruel man, there could be many answers to his wish to get rid of her. Then he saw the island. Saber looked to it. "Yeah my luck. You caught me on that island once, and now your dumpin' me there....clever." She said with a mocking air.
He ripped the rope off, and Saber winced as her cut wrists were exposed to salt air. He dragged her to the plank. She stepped on to it then turned and faced on him. "You know...Ive always heard about people being tied to a mast...and being made to walk the plank...and being maroond." she paused and looked thoughtful "Thanks for giveing me a chance to experience it." And with a backward glance and a grin she walked to the end. Barbossa kicked the board and Saber did a flip off the end.
Saber swam to the island and lay on the beach. Tears of regret filled her eyes and spilled onto her cheeks. She had seen that Barbossa had captured Will's children...and she hadnt been able to do anything about it. As she lay on the warm sand a sleep of exhastion overcame her...and Saber became dead to the world.....at least for a few hours.
(ooc- *g* you know all that about, hearing stuff happen to people and then thanking for the experience...i really mean it. Saber might not truely mean it, but I do. I can tell people now "Wow I got marooned, oh and before that I was tied to a mast." *nod*"And I had to walk the plank" *g*)

Arayel was just about to go After Emma when she saw Jack streak by followed by the Turners. She stood thinking for a split second, no more.* If I'm ever to be a member of the Pearls crew I best stick with the Pearl and 'er capitaine. *She said matterof factly to herself before boarding the pearl and climbing about the rigging, helping to make the ship ready to set sail. After they were moving away from port she slid back down to the decks. She looked about and could see the turners standing a ways off by themselves. She decided to leave them be. She could only guess how they were feeling at the moment. Arayel had no children of her own, but that didn't mean she wasn't fond of the little buggers. But this was their own flesh and blood that Barbossa had taken. She turned away from them and saw Jack standing at the wheel. His eyes glittered oddly and he appeared to have something on his mind. She approached hesitantly.* Bon jour mon capitaine, comment ca va? *She said softly, she really had no clue as to what to say and realized suddenly that she had lapsed into french yet again, she mentally berrated herself for this, and began talking yet again. * I'm not certain we've met, at least not officially. Things just sort of happened so fast and all you see. *She ran her hand through her hair, she was nervous and when she got nervous she babbled, and she was definitely babbling...* Well, as I was saying, I figure I should at least introduce myself. *She extended her hand and grinned a little lopsidedly* Je m'appelle Arayel Marie Montclaire, Capitaine Sparrow, Je suis enchante.

Emma saw the Cutlass pulling away from the docks,and she swore loudly,making several Port Royal citizens flinch and give her dirty looks.Again,she turned around,going back to the Pearl.Jack,Will,and Elizabeth were there,and everyone was preparing to set sail.Breathing a sigh of something like releif that her friends had not left without her,she positively ran up the gangplank.She climbed up into the rigging,noticing that her arm had healed wonderfully.With a slight smile,she began to double-check the knots on the nearest section of sails.
Rick was about to follow Emma,when he saw the Cutlass sailing away.Shaking his head,he walked back to the Pearl and climbed into the rigging,knowing that Emma would be up there with him soon enough.When she finally got there,he smiled at her.
"So,yer arm's better,then?"
Emma nodded,then glided across the ropes to another area,setting to work there.She didn't want to talk right now,not even to Rick.She was entirely in her element,at home on the sea.She smiled grimly.Anyone who wanted to cross this ship would soon become aquainted with failure...
