*Tobbs watched him saunter over and she clenched her fists*
'How are you feeling?'
*She glared and smacked him lightly across the face, not really hard at all because she wasn't strong enough to inflict that much pain at the moment being still weak, but enough to wipe the smile clean off his face.*
"Don' EVER call me luv!"
*She paused, almost wondering if he really deserved that...but then again, the bad side of her caught ahold of her emotions and made her toss aside anything that involved reconsidering.*
"You, you Hypocrite! You say you want a crew's trust and a safe place to go, but you drag people on yer god forsaken ship against their will! That don' sound like justice to me! 'ow, 'ow DARE ye? When did you find it twas alrigh' ta bring me aboard, sparrow?"
*She hissed and felt the anger brewing in her heart...the renewal of the hate for all men returned to her stormy blue eyes...she'd never let them take advantage of her again...certainly not Sparrow, either...*

:Jack blinked, stunned she was angry for bringing her aboard.:
"so you would have liked it better if I left you bleedin and lone in Port Royale with a lot of pissed off men after you then?It's a wonder you ever became a Captain if that's yer way of thinkin'....LUV!"
:He added that last bit to be spiteful and waved his hand towards the back of the ship: "go ahead and jump over baord if yer so damned and willing to go back. But I'm not turnin' this ship around. So ye better well learn to calm down until we get to Tortuga."
:His voice was infuriatingly calm. As if he was just tryingto piss her of even more. but he was being perfectly reasonable as well: "So I ask ye again. How are ye feelin?"
;His voice lowered and became gentle. "I'm askin' if you need help. i'm not askin' for yer blood you know....."

"I would've been fine back in Port Royale! I'm not a bloody girl you know! I can take care of meself! And did I not say NOT to call me LUV, ya bloody fool!"
*She took a step towards him and raised her fist, trying to not allow him to see her falter a bit. He was trying to make her angry, he was playing a game again. He thought he could mess around with her? She was bloody TopSword Tobbs! When he tried to calm down, she rolled her eyes as he said he was asking for help, and her angry voice never diminished*
"Yer asking 'ow I became a captain? ME? Aren' you the one who lost yer ship to the same man not once, not twice, but three times? And then again by yer old "trusted" crew mates? HA! I've no doubt that I'm a good captain, but judging by 'ow you've been marooned a couple of times, you shouldn't be talking, captain!"
"Do I need 'elp? Do I need 'elp? Ya best be watchin' yer own back Sparra, because I won' calm down! Think you can control me? I'm not one of yer crew, and its a bloody well blessing I'm not!"
*She brought her face close to his*
Suprised ya haven't visited yer own little island, there's not a doubt in my mind you won't return to it!"

:She listened to his words, masking her emotions as she always had. Linea noticed the frown he wore, and it saddened her that she was the cause. She had no wish to upset anyone, but she always ended up doing so. The blush on her cheeks she had hoped subsided, rushed back when he took her hand and kissed it.:
I...I don't know what to say....
:She said as best as she could, looking at the setting sun. When she turned back to him, just seconds later, he was gone. He had disappeared. A single tear rolled down her cheek, for there was much she had to think on. If anyone questioned her on if she was crying, she would blame it on the sun's glare.:

:anger rose in Jack like a flame being fanned. he narrowed his eyes, as she came closer. He waited...let her shout...let her scream...then...:
:Jack's hand whipped out, pulled her close to him and he kissed her. A invasion sure to piss her off into nearly killing him. He stayed that way for about six point two seconds before he released her and backed away, as if ready to spring for a weapon:
"Yell all ye want luv, but yer stuck on this ship, and If you havn't noticed, yer distinctly without one of yer own.....savvy?"
:He turned and began walking: "We'll drop you off in Tortuga." :his tone one of finality: "try to keep out of the way in the meantime."

*For about a minute Tobbs stared forward blankly. What in bloody hell just happened? Had he just kissed her? She didn't know why, she'd just yelled and screamed and cursed at him...and he kissed her? She didn't know what to do...*
*For a second she thought actually liked it...but then she snapped back to attention and her eyes turned icy blue. Whatever hate he made her feel towards him tripled, no, multiplied uncountably, she hated the man, hated him for throwing her back into her past, for making her feel loved for once, for trying to help her, and now for doing one of the worst things imaginable, for kissing her*
*An eerie frustrated burning passion of hate found its way into the way she talked. It wasn't a scream, but it wasn't a whisper. It was louder than usual, and fierce by far then the scream before hand was. She looked him straight in the eye*
"Is that the only way you can defend yerself? Well that Figures...ya must 'ave listening issues, because I told ya twice that you can't call me luv, and you've done it again. And you've told me twice that I wont be getting off till Tortuga. Well, let me clear it up fer you, Jack Sparrow. Whether you like it, or not, I'm getting off this ship!"
*She took another step forward and gritted her teeth, then suddenly took two steps back. A glance over her shoulder made her smile cunningly. She looked back to Jack and drew the smal saber she'd found in the room, placing it to his heart, too quick for him to really realize what she was doing.*
"I can' kill ya now, Sparrow, because yer whole crew might try to stop it. So juss remember when ya see me next, the feelin of this blade on yer chest won't be on it, but in it next time I get the chance! Like I said, ya can' control me, and I won' be staying on this 'ere ship with you...ya can' keep me 'ere! Ya live fer now...."
*And with that, she threw down the weapon and ran to the side of the ship, climbing on top of its side. By the time Jack realized what she was doing, he was too late, for an in a second, she was in the glassy blue water.*
*Tobbs was stubborn, and obstinate indeed. She wouldn't let herself be defeated. She knew she probably couldn't make it to Port Royale in her condition, but she tried. By the time she was a few feet from where she started, she went under, unable to keep her head atop any longer. *
*She cursed herself as she watched herself sink, and felt her burning shoulder fail her. Well, she'd rather die than spend her time with the likes of that Sparrow...and as she thought, she was taken by darkness...*

:Jack cursed loudly, then performed a perfect jack knife off the side of the ship.....why in the name of all that was holy and sacred did he manage to fine the stubborn ladies?:
:He hit the water cleanly, then swam straight for Tobbs. He hualed her out of the water, keeping her head over the waves, muttering and cursing as he did so: "Bloody hell ye stubborn, dim witted lass......." He sputtered and cursed some more. "just because ye can't stand one bloody kiss ye don't have to throw yerself overboard..." He growled and snarled as he grabbed the rope offered to him by the crew:
:As he pulled himself into a crumbled heap on the deck he put his ear to her chest to see if she was breathing. She was'nt. He grumbled and snarled some more...."Bloody stubborn lass.....can't even take a honest hand....."
:as he was saying this he did leaned over, muttering again: "ye really don't deserve this ye know...." He growled and placed his lips over her mouth and blew in, forcing her to breath. When she coughed he turned her just enough to get out the water and he frowned:
"Ye know it might be better next time if ye just break something instead of going overboard. ...." :He picked her up quickly and put her back in his cabin then sat down next to her, daring her to try and kill him:#nosmileys

Roux was floating over the ship right now. He saw Linea on deck, and carefully invisble, floated down to her. A flash of gold and light and he was there. Visible to her alone again. He smiled.
"Don't be sad. Come with me." He took her hand and they were gone, above the clouds, soaring over the sun's last rays of light in the sky. In a world of firey color and soft clouds. Apollo smiled, again in his god form.
"A nice veiw isn't it?" :He pointed to the Black Pearl, a mere dark spot on the sea below them#nosmileys

*Before Tobbs knew it she was back in the Captain's Quarters, lying down where she was once. She shivered and weakly looked up, wondering if he'd left her there, hoping he wasn't in sight. She wondered why he had gone off to save her. Why had he not let her just die?*
*When she looked, there he was, sitting next to her, just in her reach, almost taunting her to come and try hurting him. She brushed her hair back from her face and furrowed her brows*
"Break something? Ya wan' me ta break something? Fine, so be it, I'll break yer neck if I 'ave to!"
*She, with the little power she had left, threw herself on him unexpectantly, knocking him over on the ground with her by the suprise of it all. She tried to wrestle him and bring her hands to his throat as she was on top of him, her whole demeanor bent on trying to rid him of life.*

:The sight before her eyes, was simply amazing. There were no words to describe what she was seeing for she had never seen such beauty. Linea gripped his hand a little tighter and smiled at him.:
Thank you Roux. I don't know what to say to thank you. This is simply beyond words. I don't think I could ever be sad when you are near, for you have cheered my heart and spirit more than anyone I know. I thank you with all my heart.

Post by Rose Glassman/Hawk Aureye on May 24, 2004 21:28:31 GMT -5
Hermes as Orestes was watching Roux and Linea with god's eyes...able to see them far above the ship...and he grinned, a nostalgic, cheery, slightly evil grin. He wouldn't let his brother forget this, no, he wouldn't...he'd be in for a lifetime of teasing...
Then he realized he wasn't alone, and raised a hand in greeting to the pirate beside him. "Hawk, was it?"
Hawk nodded, a bit suspiciously. "Aye...an' you're Orestes?"
Orestes nodded. "Roux's cousin...you know Roux?"
Hawk shook his head. "I'm new to th' crew..." he explained, then frowned. "I can't for th' life of me recall 'ow I got on the ship. It's kinda crazy...then again, bein' a pirate is crazy business..." He grinned, a shadow of Jack Sparrow's infamous grin.
Orestes looked amused, on two accounts. One, he himself had lured Hawk aboard the Pearl. And two, he looked exactly like a young Jack Sparrow when he grinned. The resemblance was eerie...he was surprised Jack himself hadn't noticed.
Orestes glanced around the ship idly, wondering where Jack was. He sent an impulse into the Sparrow girl's mind, to bring her to where her father was...it was imperative that they developed a relationship before discovering they were kin...
"It is a crazy business," he agreed, grinning himself. "Roux would say it suited me perfectly. I don't know why I hadn't tried it sooner..."
"Ah, better late than never," Hawk conceded, grinning again, then both were silent. He found himself liking Orestes...he was charismatic and put even paranoid Hawk at ease.
Meanwhile, Rose felt an urge to walk around below deck...she was passing the cabin of one of the new women, Tobbs, when she heard a cry and several loud noises. She opened the cabin door to find Tobbs and Jack wrestling on the floor, the former apparently trying to kill the latter.
Rose shouted and jumped between them, desperately trying to restrain Tobbs. "Stop that!" she yelled reproachfully, struggling with the older woman. "Let 'im go, calm down, mate!"

After a while,Rick started to get hungry,so Emma showed him to the galley,then came back on deck.As glad as she was to have him back,she wasn't the sort to spend all her time mooning over someone.It was enough that they both knew that they cared for one another.Climbing into the rigging,she checked the knots,just to be safe.There wasn't much else to do at the moment,and besides,they'd been off for a few hours,if something had been improperly done it might be coming loose.When she was satisfied,she stayed up for a few minutes.Her hair blew softly in the wind.It always calmed her down,the peaceful feeling of being between sea and sky,the smell of salt in the air,the warmth of the setting sun....
Someone shouted below.Looking around,Emma descended on a rope,wondering what was going on.A woman who she didn't know came out on deck and started screaming at Jack,slapped him,and jumped overboard.She stared as they came back,then went to stand guard near the cabin,just in case.However,before Jack even left,there were sounds as of a fight.Emma burst in,helping Rose to hold Tobbs down."Calm down,lass!"she said,despite the fact that the woman was at least as old as her,perhaps a few years older."Easy,now...what'd 'e ever do t'ya?"she demanded of the golden-haired woman.

* She knew something was oddly familiar about him... Yet he was new aboard. 'must be a mistake..' she told her self. but curious as she was she nodded as he told her that he had known nothing. She walked around the lower deck for a bit wandering, for the most part.
She stopped to hear the flood of angry voices coming from a nearby cabin. She stood in the door way seeing the woman she had seen earlier in Port Royal attempting to kill Jack. She stood there and watched as Rose and Emma attempted to break them apart* " 'ello! 'ello ! wha't's goin' on 'ere?"

:Jack tumbled over, knocked from his chair with a uncanny show of strenght from Tobbs. geez what did it take to get her to sit down like a normal human? a beheading?!:
:He leapt back, then crouched down, almost as if he were considering if pouncing on her would be his best bet....however........he kicked out with his booted foot, and knocked the back of her knees. She buckled and Jack leapt:
:Then the door crashed open and a few of his crew came in. Jack smirked at Tobbs. trying to see if she would try anything now. Rose, Rick, Emma and Maria. He waited, and pinned her arms firmly to the floor:
"Look lass...whatever it is yer trying to do, yer not going to win. You might be Topsword Tobbs. But I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. And it's better to have me as a friend. Not a enemy. Savvy?"
:He put his face just close enough to her for it to pop whatever space bubble she may have had. And considering he had her pinned, it was a small one: "I'm not going to hurt you. What part of that are ye not getting into that rock hard head of yers?"
:He waited a moment or two, letting her try and calm herself. But he didn't move.: "Lass....come on now. Are ye really going to be this bloody difficult the entire way? It's a week to Tortuga. Can ye really throw yerself overboard everyday? And except me to go in after ye? Use yer brain I know ye have......"#nosmileys

Roux could feel Hermes watching him. He flashed like a burst of sunlight for moment. Warning him not to do a damn thing. He knew he would never live this down. Ever.
And he could also feel Hermes putting into motion things which could not be undone. The Sparrows. He frowned. He could watch him from up here. He looked at Linea a sort of smile on his face.
"It's a diffrent way of looking at things isn't it? What's possible and what is not. " He turned towards the sunset. He could not stay in the sky once the sun went down. He took her hand and decended from the sky. They were back on the ship. Invisible at first to all those on board. Then Linea appeared. Then Roux.
"I'll take you back up there when the sun rises again." He promised. "If it makes you happy."
