* As Maria was pulled upon board she was freezing so Jack had brought her his jacket. He led her into the cabin. She certainly didn't want to herewhat Will would say. She glanced out the cabin window out to where the bsea glimmered against the sun. She pulled the Jacket tighter and sniffled a bit. Knowing the battle would begin soon she serached for her sword. Alas she found it where it always was on her hip in her sheath. When she was quite dry she ran on board to the side but not making sure fist she had good grip of the ship*

Emma peeked out of the door to the lower levels.The Cutlass was very close.
Close enough that she wouldn't have to worry about being sent back.
She said nothing to any of the crew as she walked nearer to the railing,taking account of the situation.She was now mostly recovered,though still rather damp,and entirely in possession of her wits,her weapons,and her ability to use them.
The crew of the Pearl was made up of people whom she did not yet know well,but from what she did know,nearly all of them were worth their weight in gold when it came to a fight.And many of them seemed to carry a grudge against the captain of this other ship.The Turners in particular would do anything to get their children back safely.
A grim smile spread over her face.This "Barbossa" had better be ready...
Rick noticed Emma come up from below deck,but said nothing.He knew that she was most likely not supposed to be there,but he also knew that there was no changing her mind.Besides,she seemed to be moving quite naturally.And if there was one thing the crew needed right now,it was more fighters.
"Arayel...take the helm,would ye?We're almost caught up to 'em,anyways..."He walked over to where Emma was standing,wrapping an arm around her waist.
"Ready?"
Emma looked up at Rick."Of course."
"I've just realized somethin'."
"Wha's that?"
"This'll be the first fight we've been in together fer over two years..."
"Romantic,isn' it?"Emma laughed,no indication whatsoever of her awareness of the risk she took every time she fought showing in her demeanor.As she had always reasoned,she spent her life tempting fate,and that was no fun if it kept you from laughing....
The two ships were almost within cannon range now.She kissed Rick gently on the cheek,then stood by a cannon,ready for whatever might come.

*Will grinned at Jack as he spoke about the whole sand in the eyes incident and he just shrugged.* Well I couldn't very well let you go! At that time I really did want to kill you. *He gave Jack a pat on the shoulder and laughed a little then felt someone grab his hand. He glanced over quickly to see who it was and a warm smile spread across his face when he saw Elizabeth had come back.* I thought you'd come back. *He said, then heard Jack mention leaving Barbossa to him. Will wanted desperatly to kill the man who had taken his children but he knew that it was Jack who rightly deserved that moment so he just nodded and squeezed his wife's hand tighter as she spoke again to him. Then he smiled and cupped her jaw in his hand.* I'll be as careful as I can. I promise I won't leave you and the twins. Will you promise me the same? *He asked, glancing back towards the Cutlass. It was so very close now. He wondered where their children were being kept. When he turned to look at Jack he noticed the man was gone. Then he spoted him with Tobbs at the front of the ship. He smiled again, glad to see them reunited and even happier that Jack finally understood who she was. It would have torn Will up inside if his own wife didn't recognize who he was, so he could only imagine how happy this moment must be for his two friends. Then, turning back to Elizabeth he handed her one of his swords.* Take this, incase you need it. Jack has my pistol if you'd rather use something of that sort instead. Im obviously better with a sword. *He said grinning, his eyes falling onto the hole he made in the deck with the pistol.*

:Jack removed himself from Tobbs, long enough to give Will a last reassurance:
"Mate.....I swear to you....for savin' my life once before.....that your kids will come out of this, if it means my blood....but I'm takin' Barbossa's life.....savvy?" He said, as if to put it plain he didn't want any other man taking what he felt was rightfully his.:
:Jack had plans of his own......and he hoped that he could get them down without the rest of the crew figuring it out. So he added:
"Mates....I only want to get the Turner kids off the ship! No looting! We're here to get the kids....and if by some miracle I get Barbossa then it's a extra....but save the kids!" :He kept his voice firm, devoid of any form of laughter. But if one looked carefully at Jack's eyes right now. They could see a burning sort of hatred behind them. The Cutlass....and Barbosas would meet their ends today:

Evelyn looked up at Jack as he announced this. "No looting?" she asked dissapointedly to herself. "Damn." she said with a chuckle. She turned back up to Jack and was a bit afraid. He really meant to take Barbossa himself. "Only blood could settle this quarrel." she thought to herself and walked toward the bow near Will and the others staring out at the ship. It was so close...only a matter of minutes now she supposed. She looked around. She knew no one on this ship very well, but she had a strong feeling they would put in their two cents in this fight...today would settle a lot of things she supposed, but then again you never know...

*Tobbs looked up at Jack, meeting his suprised gaze as he turned to see her. When she was pulled into a tight hug, she winced slightly, but immediately knew he'd remembered her....and how good it felt to be remembered!*
*Cherishing the hug for a moment, she smiled and brushed a tear off his cheek as he tried to wipe them away. She smiled yet again at the mention of keeping him sane while he was illl, yet in her mind she knew twas him who kept her sane as well whilst she went through the torment of her own disappointment of not saving him first and seeing him undergo all that had happened.*
"Aye, there's no keepin' me below decks now, I've been freed!"
*As they stood there together for a few moments, she leaned her head upon his shoulder and closed her eyes, trying to forget what would soon happen, listening to the song of the waves and the salty breezes, happy things were once more restored. When Jack moved to Will, she whispered as he walked away*
"I dont want to lose you either..."
*She'd be careful now. Her main focus was to get the Turner twins, all her crew and friends, and Jack especially safe and soon sailing away from Barbossa and the Cutlass. She felt uneasy as she stared at the ship that was near enough to begin their fight...Jack wanted revenge now...and she knew not if he'd go to all lengths to have it...mayhap death even. But she'd give her own life before letting Jack get hurt....Aye, she'd make sure of that. After all, she'd vowed it...*

Emma turned as the captain addressed his crew.It was short and sweet,a reminder that the twins were thier top priority.But there was something in his tone that bothered her,and by the way Rick shifted beside her,he'd picked up on it,too.When Jack turned away again,she looked around unsurely.
Jack wanted to kill Barbossa.That much she'd known.But now she realized that he would sacrifice his own life to see him dead.She closed her eyes,silently promising herself that she would do anything in her power to protect her Captain...though she doubted sincerely whether one could do very much to protect Jack when his mind was so set on revenge.
With a slight shake of her head,she turned back around ,facing the enemy ship,a hand on the cannon beside her.

:Jack's top priority of course was the twins....bugt revenge was running a close second...in fact.....if the twins hadn't been involved this battle might be taking place anyway. It ended now.:
:Jack moved across the deck like a tiger in a cage that was much to small for his liking. Barbossa.....the man he'd let live out of mercy had tortured and tormented him....then ruined his good name....if good it could be called for a pirate. Then he had enough nerve to kidnap the children of his best friend:
:The children whom he felt, in his own mind, to be his responsiblity. they were after all, born on this very ship. Oh the lying bastard would pay dearly for this:

* Maria ran to the captain seeing on how close Barbossas ship was nearing. Ambition and worry in her eyes*
" Captain Jack when you get on that ship I'm comin' wit' ye. Those two are my reponsiblity two. Savvy?" * She turned around once more* " Savvy?! And no will not be 'eard by these ears."

*Will just smiled and gave a nod to Jack when the Captain said he wanted to be the one to kill Barbossa*. Savvy, Jack. I wouldn't have it any other way trust me. *He said with a grin then glanced at Evelyn when she came over. He smiled at her and gave her a greeting nod.* Hullo Eveyln. Its nice to see your okay. *Then he realized that she was about to fight for a cause that she really didn't know to much about. He'd fill her in later if there was a need. For now he only gave her a look of thanks then climbed up on the railing, holding onto a rope with one hand for support, while swinging the sword around his wrist in the other, humming the pirate song, which he didn't usually hum but felt the need to now. He watched Jack pacing the deck and could only imagine the multitude of things running through the mans mind. He sighed softly then looked again upon the Cutlass with narrow eyes.*

Evelyn smiled as Will addressed her and saw him spring up on the railing. Approached him. "So Barbossa's got your kiddies, eh?" she asked him as the wind tossed her curly hair behind her and the ship was almost upon them. She could feel the adrenaling pump in her veins as she gripped the handle of her sword tightly.

*The tension was mounting on the deck, Arayel could feel it building rapidly. they all stood waiting for one purpose, and that was to engage the cutlass and retrieve the Turner children. Arayel leaned against the railing, her back towards the oncoming ship and withdrew her rapier from its sheath, sliding the edge of her thumb lightly against the edge to test the blade. She kept her weapons well maintained , her blades sharp and pistol loaded at all times. One never knew when one'd have to fight for oneslife in the business of piracy. Only this time it wasn't her life she'd be fighting for, it would be the life of those two sweet children that had let her comfort them so trustingly when they were back in the Turner home, and Jack was still delerious. If blood was to be spilt this day, two things she knew, it wouldn't be hers, nor would it be that of the two little children who were taken forcibly from a place they had always thought safe.*

*Elizabeth smiled at will when he promised not to leave her and the twins and nodded slightly trying desperately not to cry when he asked her is she would promise the same.* Of course Darling. *She whispered hoarsely as her hand sliped around the hilt of the sword he gave her. She followed his line of site to the small gun hole in the deck and actually laughed for the first time that whole day.* Seems you were a tad nervous love. *She said softy, then she looked up and over to Jack and Tobbs. She smiled softly, at teh two of them before turning to gaze out at the cutlass once more. She was beginning to get ansy. Her babies were on board that ship and she wanted them back. She watched as Jack paced the ship like a caged and feral animal, then as her husband climbed the railing, swinging his sword about his rist. When Evelyn came over and asked if Barbosa had there kids She nodded and held back a sob* Yes, *she said having to clear her throat.* Our twins, Catherine and James, they're barely three. *She knew she was babbling, but it was either that, scream, or break down and cry.*

*Jaccqueline smiled a bit when she heard a high voice telling her to leave them alone. She shook her head and walked in. She was surprised to see the children were still so very young and felt sorry for the two. She stepped in putted the plate of food on the desk and motioned the little boy to put down the candlestick.* "Easy 'ere. I'm not gonna 'urt either of you...allright? I just came to be ye two some food. Eat some, drink a little milk, you'll need the strength for later!"
*Jacqueline stepped back, to give the twins some room...hoping that she could gain their trust. She couldn't stand if those kids would get hurt. She just liked kids in general to much for that.* "You take care of yer little sis for me allright? Don't worry I'll make sure that yer both will be safe...That's a promise!"
*With that she stepped towards the door, ignoring the impuls to give them both a hug. Mostly because Barbossa would hurt her if she did so...and she figured that the little children would do anything but agree to that. She closed the door again, but left a candle light with the children.* "What is going Barbossa? What do you need these children for?" Jacqueline mumbled to herself.

Sarah leaves Maria and goes to find Elizabeth, not knowing that Maria soon fell overboard. She sees Elizabeth standing next to Will, they are both watching Jack as he paces back and forth. Sarah lets her hand rest on the hilt of her sword as she walks up to Elizabeth. Hello dear. How have you been feeling? Any news of James and Catherine? Sarah decides that she will tag along after Elizabeth for most of the time, besides a few visits to Maria.
