Evelyn had been fighting fiercely making sure the pirates didn't get too close and constantly keeping an eye on her captain. She was becoming a bit exhausted and decided to look for a familiar face and found one in Will who was fighting close by the door. Evelyn fought her way through, blood now splattered on her clothes from all the beheadings. The sun was warm and sweat was rolling down in big pearls from her forehead. The clanging of the swords was wearing her down...but she could still very much hold her own. By now the rolling waves that rocked the grand ship were unoticeable and she moved as one with the ship. The glitter of the sun on the water was the only sort of peace she found during all the death around her, but even then the glances were only small blurs of what was happening. "Will! Glad to see ye mate...gettin' a little exhausted out there on my own." Evelyn grinned fighting alongside him.

Elizabeth nodded towards Sarah as she came up and inquired about the children* Yes dear that would be a very good idea, I'm sure the must be exhausted. *When Sarah said she looked as though she herself could sleep a year Elizabeth sighed. She was weary, but had hoped she had been hiding it better than that. SAh merely smiled at Sarah's concern and nodeed her head before turning back to Jaki.* You must be tired miss perhaps you would like to come sit down and tell us your tale? *Elizabeth rubbed her temple, she was beginning to get a slight headache and she was worried about Will, he was still injured and out there fighting to defend their lives. She also realized in the back of her mind that the small cabin weas getting slightly crowded what with her the children Sarah Rick and Maria, and now Jaki as well.*

Rick looked around at the others in the small cabin.Another person had joined them,and it was now getting rather crowded.He sighed once more,noticing how tired many of the people in here seemed.He felt slightly bitter-he had plenty of energy,and was usuful with a sword,but one wound and he was out of the fight.He glanced up towards the sounds of fighting still coming from on deck,where Emma was.Who was she to tell him what to do,anyway?He wasn't that badly hurt,was he?
Another sigh escaped him as he glanced down at the bloodstained rags which were once his shirt.It was killing him-his mind was screaming,ready to fight and kill,but his body wouldn't let him.Or Emma,for that matter.With a slight groan,he rose to his feet began pacing restlessly back and forth."Now I know 'ow Emma felt with that bloody arm of 'ers...."

*Jack laughed kindhearted as Cathy curtsied and Jimmy bowed when they were being introduced. She shook her head and had to swallow up another laugh.* "Ye've trained 'em well! Nice to meet all ye!"
*Jack nodded with her head in greeting to Maria and Sarah. A bit surprised she took the rose from Maria and looked at it, unsure what to do with it. She looked up to her new found acquatences and hoped to find some help there. Cathy signaled to her hear, her eyes glowing with pleasure. Uncomfortable Jack putted the flower in her hair and grinned.* "Yer apologies are accepted! Thank ye for this...erhm...gift. Now ye could almost believe I'm a lady!"
*Jack joked. She waved to the children when they were taken away to rest. Jack frowned a bit and looked around, to turn back to Elizabeth.* You must be tired miss perhaps you would like to come sit down and tell us your tale?
*Jack smiled and took a good look to the lady's face. She shook her head and replied with a wink.* "I believe it's ye who's tired...Why don't ye take yer children to yer own ship to rest? On yer ship there must be enough room to 'ouse us all...even might have a little place for me. If so, me's glad to sit down with ye and tell ye a story...But perhaps ye would like to take care fo yer wounded friend out there first!"

~Barbossa
::Barbossa grinned at Jack, and put his arm around the man's shoulder in friendly fashion:: "Jack, don' be stupid, mate. D'ye really think I'd surrender that easy? A nice new 'ome might be temptin' but I'd rather 'ave the Pearl....and she'll be all mine once I kill ye and the rest o' yer crew!"
::With that, he drew his pistol and aimed it directly at Jack's face. He smiled coldly, and cocked the trigger::
"Any last requests, me dear old friend?"

*Will was starting to get weary and his side was no help. He was glad when he saw Evelyn come over and stand her ground beside him. He smiled and gave her a nod.* Im getting weary myself but I've got to much to defend to stop now. *He said, glancing sidelong towards the cabin his family was in. Then he felt someone punch him in his wounded side. He let out a cry and turned quickly to find a pirate giving him a toothless grin. Will glarred angrily at him.* I wouldn't have done that if I were you. *Will growled, fighting fiercly with the pirate. Finally Will got in a fatal swipe across the mans neck. Then as he glanced up he saw across the way Barbossa aiming a pistol at Jacks face. Will gasped then raised his own pistol aiming it towards Barbossa. He doubted he would hit him since he was rather far away but none the less, if he killed Jack Will would pull the trigger without a moments hesitation.* Come on Jack, finish him off. *Will whispered to himself.

Evelyn grinned happier now seeing him alongside when she noticed him lift his pistol to the other ship and Evelyn's eyes followed the pistol toward Barbossa...then she noticed Barbossa with his pistol at Jack's face. Point blank range, Barbossa wouldn't miss. "Will...we have to help him..." Evelyn began to say out of breath and looked at his face, determined to kill Barbossa as well. But she knew Jack would want this kill and it took everything she had at the moment to hold herself back from intervening. Finally she only called out in desperation. "Barbossa you dirty bilge rat!" as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

(Occ...due to RL drama...I may not be on a while. So I'm sort of extending this post out. it was my plan anyway...maties...react however you see fit to the post..and have fun...savvy?)
:For a single moment Jack's face remained utterly impassive, then it grew to one of rage:
"Aye mate....."He grinned, fumbling with something behind his back. He grinned slightly then whipped out his flask. "If you're going to shoot me mate....I want a last bit o rum...savvy?" He gave a crazy grin, took a swallow of rum, then giving the appearance of admiting defeat, hung his head. Then on hearing the trigger being pulled back, spit the rum into Barbossa's face. leaping backwrds, he took a wild knock at the pistol, effectivly divorcing Barbossa from it:
"Get off the ship!" He shouted to his crew and made a scramble to get below. He had to finish this now. Pulling out his own pistol he made for the powder kegs he'd set up eariler. With a grin he readied the pistol, took aim and fired.:
:The powder caught fire at once and Jack made a run for the deck. He saw most of his crew making for the Pearl. Jack stopped in the middle of the deck, looking for Barbossa...hoping to get in one last shot at the man he hated.:
:It was a second to late. The kegs exploded, ripping the ship apart with a earsplitting ring. Wood and sails shot towards the sky, as the hull burned. The deck seemed in a awful hurry to race for the heavens. and his feet with lifted up againest his will.... Jack was thrown into the air, and landed with a crash in the sea, out cold. He drifted, as bits of burning timber and sails floated by him.:
:unsure of where he was for the time being, Jack slipped of into blackness....firmly convinced he'd won:

"Down!" Evelyn called as she noticed Jack call for everyone to get off of the Cutlass. She hit the deck of the Pearl and placed her hands over her head as she heard the explosion that rumbled the waters and rocked their ship. Bits of wood came falling around them and landed on the decks of the pearl and as the quiet returned all around she looked up from the decks and looked toward the Cutlass. It was sinking now and fire was eating what was left on the surface. "Jack!" Evelyn thought and ran to the gunwalls and looked over to the seas. She searched for him on the sea...where could this man be? She wondered and then saw him but he seemed to not even attempt to save himself, perhaps he was knocked unconcious. "Jack?" she called. He did not move and she grabbed a piece of rope. Quickly she tied it to the main mast and jumped into the waters. She hit and she was engulfed in cold, dark, indigo waters. Evelyn swam to the surface when she noticed her captain. Evelyn swam hard and reached him. She placed an arm around him and pulled him toward the ship with difficulty. "Avast ye! Pull us up!" Evelyn called toward the ship. She struggled trying to keep his head above water.

*Maria heard the fuss that was being made outside. Rushing out of the cabin. She had trouble closing the door, seeing all those people in there. Running up the stairs to the deck was hard as well. The wind blew hard and the cold had a fierce bite. She ran over and lened outward to see Evylen holding someone on her arm.*
"HOLD ON EVY!"
* She grabbed the rope that held some sandbags. She cut it just enough to pull the two up. While in a hurry she slipped on all the sea water that had come aboard and the rope fell out of her hands into the deep blue ocean. she gasped and picked herself up*
"Where are ropes!"
*her frantic worry fille dher eyes until she remebered one thing. She ran back down to the cargo hold whre she found a massive pile. The rope was wet and heavy to carry. But it was something. Once morte she ran to the side this time tossing it over succesfully until she saw that Evy had good grip*

Evelyn struggled keeping Jack's head above the water line and groaned when she noticed her rope fall into the water. She kicked with all she had. It was difficult keeping both herself and Jack afloat, his weight was a bit much for her. Exhaustion was building and she grasped on as good as she could onto the rope someone had tossed down to her.

* Maria slowly lifted the rope. It was hard and painful but she did it. Once the two were close enough she pulled the rope to meet the peg. She tied the rope to the peg and ran back to where Evelyn an Jack hung. She grabbed Jack first and set min face up on the deck. Next she grabbed Evelyn. The exhaustion showen on Evelyns face and so she lay her down next to Jack. *
" You two are lucky......."
* She ganced back at them*
".....but not lucky enough."
*She put her hand in front of her, waiting till Evelyn grabbed it. Once she pulled her up she stared at Jack and told Evy*
"Whats 'appened teh 'im?"

"Barbossa and Jack...they were duelin' and Barbossa had a pistol at Jack..." she panted "Then the next thing I knew he was runnin' on the deck an' the Cutlass exploded!" Evelyn said out of breath and placed her hands on her knees. "I found 'im out floating on the waters and that's when I dove in." She stated looking at Jack. "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him though...I think he's only been knocked out mate." Evelyn told Maria.

Emma,still on the deck of the Pearl, heard a loung noise,and she almost dropped her blade in surprise.Before her eyes,the Cutlass erupted into a gigantic fireball.Panic flashed through her.Jack was still on there!What had happened?She ran to the edge of the ship,looking over.To her great relief,she saw Evelyn,holding someone who looked like Jack.Maria threw a rope down,and Emma helped her pull the two up.She listened to what Evelyn had to say,then bent over Jack,calling on whatb little medical knowledge had been imparted on her by living on her own for years...
There was a loud noise,and Rick stood up straighter.What was going on?Through the jumble of thoughts in his mind,one thing was clear:He had to see if Emma was all right.He had left her last on the Pearl,which didn't seem to be sinking,but you never knew...She could have gone to the Cutlass.He opened the door,relieved to see that the fighting seemed to be over,and made his way onto the deck.
Emma was kneeling over Jack's unmoving form,and the Cutlass was in wreckage beside the Pearl.Rick stared.
"Hmmm..."Emma looked over Jack."'E seems all righ'.A few burns,a few scrapes,nothin' serious.I'm not sure what knocked 'im unconscious,the blast or the impact on the water.Prob'ly a combination.'E should 'eal on 'is own,but for now,'e should get plenty of rest.Let's get 'im back to the cabin,savvy?An' we c'n tell the others that the coast is clear."
