As Maria speaks, Evelyn is heard snoring lightly and a cold sweat begins to run on Evelyn's forehead as she lay on the bed there passed out from the drukedness the night before. She tosses a bit and mumbles to herself. Her nightmares had gotten worse.

Rick remained in the rigging of the ship.Occasionally,he would check on the sails,but right now,he merely gazed out to sea.His bright green eyes sparkled with delight in being on the sea again-he had been in Port Royal for almost a year.But as much as he was revelling in the wind that whipped his hair,and the light dancing on the waves beneath the ship,he was watching-always watching the horizon,searching for another ship.
Emma was at the top of the stairs,with her eyes clsoed,breathing in the scent of the sea,when she heard someone dashing up the steps.Here eys open,sparkling inquisitively."'Ello,Maria.What's got ye in such a rush?"

" I 'ave te leave I don't feel right knowing that Barbossa got away because of me." * Maria fell to her kness and ran her fingers through her hair* " I don't know what to do."

*Will nodded when Jack told him to take Evelyn below deck. He had just reached out for her arm when she swayed then crumpled to the ground. He quickly kneeled down beside her, as did Jack, then stood again once the Captain had scooped her up. He gave another nod when told to take the wheel, and he did just that. Gripping the wheel he glanced about at the crew members on board. Then he saw Maria drop to her knees and say something about it being her fault. Will frowned a little and called to Rick to take the wheel for just a moment. Then he rushed over beside Maria and Emma and helped his sister up.* Maria, it's not your fault. It's nobodys fault. *He said softly, almost as if he was trying to convince himself that it wasn't even his own fault. Then he sighed.* Listen Maria, we'll need you when the time comes i'm sure. We'll need all the crew knowing how Barbossa is. We'll get James and Catherine back. *He said then gave her a gentle smile and returned back to the wheel, giving Rick a nod of thanks before grasping it again.*

Meanwhile below deck Evelyn tossed a bit more. "No...why?" she asked angrily. A tear fell down her cheek and she tossed even more.

From the deck,Rick heard someone asking him to man the wheel for a moment.In a few seconds,he was down from the rigging.He took the wheel from Will,glancing over at Emma and Maria.He hoped that Maria was all right-Emma certainly seemed so,so he didn't have to worry about her just now.At any rate,he figures the best thing he could do right now was man the wheel as Will had asked him.He never was much good at the whole comforting people thing,anyway...
Emma looked around desparately.She wasn't good at this sort of thing.The only people she'd spent a lot of time with who were currently alive were Rick and Kat,neither of whom she had ever seen cry.She bit her lip nervously.
"Maria...please don' cry,"she whispered.Unsurely,she put an arm around her newfound friend to comfort her,hoping it did something to help...

(ooc- Ok folks time for a dramatic last post in the rpg, then I have to take an extended leave from the site. I'll leave a more detailed message in my other leaving thread in anoucements. Im not quite sure what to do with Kat, so Im just going to say that shes with you guys and if anyone wants to NCP her go ahead.)
Saber groaned and sat up. "Oh, what a bloody 'eadach. Thats what I get for sleeping out in the sun and not 'aving anything ta eat or drink for a day." She stood up on the beach of rum island and stretched. "I wonder if there be anything ta drink 'ere. I doubt I'll find anything ta eat."
Saber walked along the small island looking for something to ease her thirst when she fell through a hole in the sand. The old boards that had been covering up the rum traders horde had rotted and when she had stepped on them had given way.
When the sand had cleared and Saber had picked herself up again she looked around. "Oh 'ell I remeber Jack talkin about this. All rum and no water though." She sat down among the few bottles left and then picked one up. "I suppose If worst comes to worst I can drink some of this....this..." she couldnt find a word to show her disgust.
Saber tryed to shade her self around the island, and even went to see if it was cooler in the hole. But her thirst only grew worse as each hour passed. Finally she picked up a bottle uncorked it and took a small sip.
~ Hours Later
Saber lay on the beach with about empty 3 rum bottles laying on the sand next to her. A fourth was in her hand. All of a sudden she saw a ship on the water. Not being exactly clear in the head and thinking it was the Pearl she jumped up, waved, and yelled to get their attention. She saw a small boat being lowerd and slowly being rowed to shore.
Suddenly she realized it wasnt the Pearl, but a different Pirate ship. It wasnt Barbossa's, but still it could mean trouble. Ther was no time to hide and nowere to run. Saber just stood there waiting for them to come. She figured that if they proved to be trouble she could at least fight them off for a bit. Then she rememberd that Barbossa had taken her weapons. Here she was a young pirate girl, marooned, weaponless, and slightly drunk and a long boat full of pirates that she did not know were heading towards her.
Things did not look good.
(ooc- I think that that will be my last post in the rpg. Do not expect me to participate inthe next one. When I get back full time I have an awesome reeterence to use in a rpg for Saber. While she will be really different when she comes back she will still be the girl you guys knew.)

:Jack had grumbled and walked back on deck, went straight for the rigging and climbed up it to the crow's nest. It was his place to be alone.and yet not alone:
:He peered down at the crew, letting Will handle the ship for now. He trusted him to do that. Jack's eyes moved tothe sea once more. He frowned, hoping those two little buggers were safe:
:He didn't think barbossa would kill children....there was some sort of unwritten code about that. Even pirates didn't kill innocent children.....at least Jack didn't.:
:suddenly....he spotted a distant smug of color againest the sapphire sea. Barbossa......he could feel it. Calling down to his crew he yelled:
"ARM THE CANNONS! WE'RE COMING UP ON THE BASTARD!"

As Maria was comforted by Emma she lifted her head tosee a ship. She jolted up and ran to the side.* " Barbossa." She whisered to herself

(ooc: sorry I haven't posted in a while...was unable to acces this site for some time...)
*Jacqueline watched in surprise how Barbossa after suddenly leaving the ship, returned with two little children. Her eyes narrowed and she glared at the scene. She watched how the two poor little things were taken to the cabin next to Barbossa's and were locked in. Jacqueline gritted her teeth, but remained silent...It would be suicide to argue with Barbossa about this. The determination in his eyes said so. Jacqueline glanced at the girl tied up against the mast and shook her head. She went below deck, leaving Barbossa and his plan alone...preparing a meal for the children.* "What 'ave I gotten meself into? I just hope Barbossa won't shoot me for feeding 'ose kids...That man sure has a short fuse!"
*Jacqueline grumbled to herself. She felt a bit silly for cooking at the moment after she had so loudly proclaimed she wouldn't cook. Quickly she baked three potatoes, gathered some vegetables and made warm milk.* "I hope the milk will get 'ose kids to sleep...the sooner they sleep, the lesser worries they'll 'ave!"
*Then suddenly she noticed some stumbling on the deck. Having a feeling what was going on, Jack made her way to one of the small windows and shook her head when she saw their fresh prisoner go for a dive* "Hmmm...I guess she 'ad that 'ne comming!"
*Jacqueline turned away from the small window and putted the food and the warm milk on a plate for the children. Handily she made her way up the deck with the plate in her hands and went to the cabin of the children.*

Emma heard Jack call down to the crew from his perch in the crows nest,and her heart skipped a beat.She stood straight up,and headed for the nearest cannon,then stopped for a moment,scanning the horizon until she spotted a small dot that could only be a ship.She growled slightly.
Rick came up beside Emma and nudged her slightly."Come on,"he said."We've got te get this thing ready!"
Emma shook her head,then nodded."Right,sorry."They set to work preparing the cannon,their eyes on their tasks,but their minds never leaving the ship which they were rapidly approaching...

: To say that Jack was angry right now was a understatement. he was beyond that point long ago when he'd woekn up in the Turner home.....it was true he'd been scared as well..but he'd been agry for whomever put them there:
: Now seeing Barbossa's ship his eyes grew angry, and he grabbed a rope, and swung down from the crow's nest to help Emma and Rick prepare he cannons :
:He'd be damned if he let the man he allowed to live hamr the children of his friend. With a half growl he shoved he cannon into place, and turned to Rick andEemma, trying to be quite calm about the whole thing:
"Ready for a battle maties?" He asked them, with a chesire cat grin:
