This will take place one year after the movie ends with Jack leaving Port Royal after his near hanging. Directly after the movie.....
Sometimes people should just keep their mouths shut. But well....Jack doesn't know what silence means....as Norrington has tried numerous times to impress upon the pirate......it's not working....a failed attempt at teaching a drunken pirate the rules of civility.....
Barbosa heard many things from Jack before the mutiny. One being about a treasure. A ancient Greek treasure. A Box of Immortality. It's what keeps the Greek gods.....well......gods....While sailing out of Tortuga on the Black Pearl Jack and his crew come across a tiny boat. A greek craft...something that in itself is odd....and inside of it is a young lady. A beautiful lady. Jack, well...being Jack decides to take her aboard. The lady doesn't talk at first, but little by little they learn her name is Callisto, a greek girl from Athens.
She knows the location of this Box. Jack, being a pirate, not a damn hero wants the Box for himself. He doesn't realize that taking it can offset th balance of things in a unfavorable manner.......nor does Barbossa...who's after it as well. Two gods decide to "help". Apollo and Hermes......the rest, well they do not think they need the help of "mere mortals" to overcome something so ridiclous as this.
But Jack wants to live forever....so does Barbossa and the obession is to great to be reasoned with. Driving his crew into danger, Jack's ready to risk life and limb for the posibility of becoming a god himself. That and shot at being renamed the God of Rum.
Rules: 1. no spamming 2. ALWAYS STAY IN CHARACTER 3. NO cursing!!!! 4. Common curtesy is a must 5. NO GODMODING (unless otherwise stated) 6. have fun maties note: maties..this be a loose story plot...some things can change..but it's not likely....enjoy.....

Evelyn placed her hands on her hips as he continued to yell. Typical, she thought. Just like every other man she'd encountered. They were all the bloody same. She stared straight into his eyes as he continued to rant. When he accused her of being rude she couldn't help but agree and got in only a few words between his rant. "I only did tha' because you were rude first!" She yelled back standing her ground. When he said he would be her spotter anyways she crossed her arms.
Then he hit her with it. The last phrase he uttered reverberated and it hit her like a ton of bricks. He knew. Or at least he had guessed what had happened to her. This was the first time she had been hit with this matter and her lip quivered slightly. A lump grew in her throat and all those memories came rushing back a bit. "Yer not trash ta me, mate. I've seen what real..." her voice broke a bit as emotion swelled in her voice. " what real filth is in this world, alrigh', I've had it time an' time again. Ye don' need to go remindin' me of it." She stated flatly, bringing the back of her hand to her mouth as her lip quivered a bit again. "Don' ye EVER bring that up again with me, savvy?" Her eyes were swelling red and she stormed away.
She wasn't about to let ANYONE see her tear up, let alone Eric. She didn't want him to know he had gotten to her. This had probably been the quickest argument ever, but Eric had hit a nerve and she couldn't keep her composure. Instead she stalked away, stormed down into her cabin and shut the door with a slam. Evelyn crouched down, her back agains the far wall of her cabin and a sob came over her. She believed this would help. This would keep out all those demons from coming in again...from facing the truth.

:Linea watched Roux go over to Fishy and smiled a bit. The lad looked a little better and was glad to see him out of bed. She had grown a soft spot for him, seeing him hurt and all. Poor lad shouldn't have been hurt and happy to see him walking around a bit. As Roux was speaking to him and Diana, Linea walked around as Callisto was taken below deck. She wondered about the woman, about why she was there. What had brought her to them, for indeed she wasn't meant to be there. So many questions, and so few answers. There was not much she could do. Linea walked over to a rail of the ship and peered over the side, just watching the water as her thoughts poured through her mind. She was just trying to be calm and collected as she knew she could be when she tried. Being frightened was unlike her, because nothing really scared her, but this woman did. Linea sighed and just let her thoughts flow away as she watched the water not paying attention to the world around her.:

*Eric swallowed hard as his eyes fixed upon hers. Then suddenly her lip began to tremble and it was obvious something he had said had hurt her deeply. But the look on his face remained the same, stern and dissapointed. He looked away as she began to speak, mentioning how he wasn't trash and then told him strictly never to bring it up again. So he had guessed at least a piece of her haunting past and for some reason he felt helpless. Maybe because he wanted to help her with it but knew that he couldn't, or maybe because he couldn't take back what he had said aloud. He nodded to show that he wouldn't mention it again but he said nothing. He glanced over his shoulder with sad eyes as he watched her storm away to her cabin and then slowly he brought his attention back to Tobbs, Emma, and Rick and he shook his head and ran his hand through his hair in frustration. He wanted to let out a cry of anger and frustration but he couldn't, not here. Not now. He looked back towards Evelyns cabin and then without meaning to found himself walking towards it. He raised his fist to knock on the door when suddenly the sounds of sobbing could be heard from the other side. He frowned and glanced around akwardly, not exactly knowing what to do. He felt terrible, he hadn't meant to hurt her like this. Finally he just slumped down against the wall across from her door and he pulled his knees up to his chest and rested his head upon them. He decided to wait until she came out again and he would appologize to her then, not something he did often. But after a moment of waiting he drifted off to sleep, still sitting slumped over against the wall.*[/color]

:Callisto turned her eyes on Jack with such menace that you wouldn't be able to see what would happen next. Before he could see it happen, she smacked him across the face using more nails that hand leaving scratches. She had a temper, as was shown on Evy when she had awoken her. She didn't like to be touched, even if it was to steer her to this room.:
No one touches me....
:After her words, she smacked him again in similar fashion to make sure he didn't forget them. Looking around, it was a small room, not much space, but it served its purpose she supposed. Noticing the lock on the door, she couldn't supress the feeling of wanting to be just alone.:
No questions...not a single word...get out...
:These were the only words she muttered as she looked at Jack. Then without a moments hesitation, she shoved him out the door into a wall with such force that couldn't seem to come from such a small lady. As soon as he was outside of her room, she slammed the door shut and bolted it tight to prevent any visitors.:

Emma's eyes went wide as she looked around, seeing Evelyn so upset was very rare, actually if she remembered correctly, she's never seen her like this before. Her blue-green eyes looked her over and then looked back at Eric, knowing something he said had hurt her. "Poor lass." Emma said softly to herself and shook her head. When she stormed off she knew she was on the verge of tears and she glared at Eric for a moment.
Rick looked over at her and placed a hand on Emma's shoulder, she looked as if she would go after Eric, her face was in a bit of an angered look but he stopped her. "Emma...let 'em be. They've go' their own problems." Rick said in a sad tone. They had looked so happy not too long ago and now it seemed they had fallen apart. He looked to Emma with gentle eyes, knowing that would never happen to them.
Evelyn continued to sob in her cabin. She tried to keep it down as much as she could, a whimper escaping her shaking body only rarely. Her sleeves had become soaked in her tears and she looked up, trying to breathe. It seemed as if she couldn't and she took deep calming breaths, a sort of habit she had developed to calm herself down. Thoughts ran through her and memories came swirling into her mind and she begged it to go away. "Please...please...just go away..." Evelyn said in a low voice to herself.
Then suddenly, she stood. She shook her head. "Stop, Eve, stop." She told herself sternly. She didn't want to cry over it. Even though it hurt her so much. The lump in her throat remained and she went to her wash basin, splasing water on her face. Wiping her face she shook her head. "Ye'll be fine. Ye always are." She reassured herself. Then with a deep sigh she made for the door to leave her cabin......

:Jack blinked. Okay....so one slap was normal..two was a insult. He was shoved from the room and he stood there blinking some more. Rather like a owl trust into daylight. :
:Abrutly as if just understanding what had just happened a few moments to late, he drew his pistol and pointed it at the door.....his fist shaking just enough to tell he was holding back one hell of a wave of anger......then he put the pistol away:
"WELL BE DAMNED THEN!" He shouted: "Ye ungrateful ....woman!"
:Alright so not the best thing in the world to say. But Jack showed no signs of caring as he stormed away, all but shoved Will overboard in his attempts to get at the wheels of the Black Pearl and stood there, gripping the wheel, fuming to himself:
:He was in fact.....muttering curses out in about five diffrent languages.....to himself...all about well the pack of brassed off women he seemed to be encountering:

*As Eric slept a crystal clear dream of a distant memory swirled into his already clouded mind. He was on the floor with Ashley, she was bleeding. Dying in his arms but then suddenly the blood disapeared and the woman turned her face slowly towards him and she smiled. She was alright, Ashley was alright! Eric sat straight up suddenly, a warm smile upon his face as his eyes popped open and he looked around. As soon as he spotted Evelyn standing before him in the doorway it hit him it had just been a dream. But it had felt so real. He rose slowly and frowned then quickly shook the dream from his thoughts and looked appologetically at Evelyn.* Well I see that you're okay I just wanted to appologize. I shouldn't have said that back there I just...I was angry. *He said, lowering his eyes. He lingered for a moment then glanced around and he sighed, looking back at her.* I might be able to find Roux around here somewhere if you still want him to be your spotter. *He said reluctantly. He figured that is what she would want him to do and he would do it if it kept her from getting hurt again. But deep down inside he really wanted her to tell him he didn't need to do that.*[/color]

Evelyn looked at Eric sourly as he spoke, but then quickly wiped her eyes and sniffled a bit, trying to regain her composure quickly. "Yer sorry?" Evelyn asked looking from the floor to him slowly. When he spoke of fetching Roux Evelyn sighed deeply. "Eric, I wan' ye to know somethin'." She said slowly and reluctantly. "The Devil's Wrath...well it was hell, alrigh'? Me bein' the only woman aboard...ye can only..." Evelyn paused again, closed her eyes and tried regaining herself again. " ye can only guess what happened to me. I haven' thought abou' it in so long, but when ye said that o me...it brought it back. It was almost real again." Evelyn's voice faltered on her again.
She looked into his eyes then pulled away and glanced at the floor. "Everything was real, the ship, that bloody bastard of a Captain, those nights...everything." Evelyn told him flatly sniffling. She wiped her eyes again. "Jus' don' ever bring it up again, alright?" Evelyn told him putting a hnad through her hair and wiping her eyes a bit.
She really never told this to anyone. She felt like scum. He knew. His Ashley was probably better for him, she thought. She was pure, bright, loving. Evelyn was a butchered piece of a human being, at least that's what she's always believed and Eric deserved better. Her eyes shifted to his again and a small smirk grew. "An' yes, ye can be my spotter...satisfied?" Evelyn asked with a small laugh, still trying to wipe the tears as they continued to trickle down, even if very slowly and one by one.

*As Evelyn began to talk about what had happened to her on the Devils Wrath he nodded knowingly as he had guessed what had happened to her. He wished though that he had been wrong, she didn't deserve to have a past like that. She was a beautiful woman who deep down had a kind heart. He hated the men who had hurt her almost as much as he hated the man who had killed Ashley. But as long as he was around no one would ever treat her like that again. Not unless they wanted to eat his sword. Then he shook his head and wrapped his arms about himself.* I wont I promise. *He said softly. Then he smiled and laughed softly as she said he could still be her spotter. He elt a wave of relief come over him at her words* I was kind of hoping you would say that. *He said then he reached out to put his arm around her but quickly pulled it back, not exactly sure how she would handle it if he did that. After last times innocedent he figured he'd best just keep his hands to himself. So instead he simply smiled.* You're an amazing woman Evelyn, like none Ive ever met. *He said inching slightly closer to her.*[/color]

*Tobbs watched Evy and Eric as they got aboard...she saw the hurt that Evy felt, and at the words being said, she felt a twinge in her own heart...shrugging it off, she watched Evy leave, and Eric follow. Regathering her rather frustrated mood, she sighed and muttered.*
"Men."
*Seeing Jack and Callisto disappear from the deck, she raised a bow...where were they off to now? Another twinge mingled in with her mood...was that...jealousy?*
*She panicked for a second then shrugged it off, just like she'd shrugged off any other kind of emotion in her life. She doubted that she actually in any way cared for the captain...no, she knew she didn't care at all...yet deep in her heart, the slightest twinge still remained, and she began following the two. Curiosity was what it was, she told herself, nothing but curiosity.*
*Watching them disappear into the room, she carefully looked between the crack of the door. She had half the mind to race into the room and fend for Jack when he was slapped twice, but she told herself no, she didn't like the man, and she wouldn't stick up for the likes of him...plus, she was kind of amused by it. Seeing his rather baffled look, she ran up deck before they saw her and began laughing softly. This would be perfect to get back at him with.*
*She sat upon a barrel and waited...she needed a certain chance...just a few more seconds and he'd be up on deck...aye, there he was, angry she could tell, which made her grin even more. He shoved Will over and she stiffled another laugh. When he began to try and focus...Will and Hawk were talking with him now. When Hawk asked Will something, she knew it would distract them slightly so she could approach...she stood and nonchalantly walked over, a smirk in her eyes and a mocking grin dancing on her lips. When she was close enough to him, she began toying with her hair, and then the wheel a bit, and then her hair again. Waiting for the right moment, she felt it had come and cast her eyes up to his, catching his attention and feeling the tension he already gave off. Perfect.*
"Soooooo, Sparra, she didn' take a likin' to ye either I see."
*She snickered and made a slight 'hmmm' sound...*
"I coulda guessed it would be that way....ya never listen, do ya? I try ta warn ya on deck, try ta tell ya that she was trouble, trouble to ya and the crew, yer own bloody self and yer own crew yer friends with as ya said, but what'd ya do? Walk away again? Offer 'er a cabin and 'ospitality? Give 'er welcoming and greetings? Even after she threatened us all and stirred up tension? I'd expect more from yer part, Sparra, much more."
*She eyed him over and hrumphed, tossing her hair behind her shoulder, feeling the tension growing, and she felt she was almost feeding a fire that might soon not be able to contain itself. It made her have the urge to mock him more.*
"Ya know, I 'eard about someone slappin a man once, but twice in a row? By the same lady? You must be somethin' Jack, offerin' 'elp and then gettin' smacked fer it. Seems ta 'appen alot now, don' it?"
*Her eyes grew cloudy with a certain anger returning in them, yet the same mocking grin was still present. She narrowed her eyes and brought her face close to his again, the faint memory of how he surprised her unexpectantly and kissed her returning to her mind, and the converstaion of being taken advantage of from eric and evy returned to her thoughts. She prepared herself this time...she'd learned to fend off the unwelcome when they tried, even if it had resulted the hard way. She wouldn't be suprised again, that was for sure.*
"So Sparra, next time ya decide to put yerself and yer crew in danger, you might wanna make sure you at least get their thoughts....because now that she's takin' a trip with us, this won't be one easy voyage fer her and her threatening ways...nor any easier fer you."

Evelyn smiled up at him but as he complimented her she shook her head slightly. "How can ye say that? After all I've done to ya...all the insults, the angry outbursts, not to mention the various attempts at killin' ye. Besides...I'm a wretched bloody thing. I swear, my hair's a mess, all I do is argue with ye..." Eve said with a small laugh as the tears began to dry up slowly. She stared up at him as he inched closer and her heart raced. No, this couldn't be happening, she thought. He was in love with Ashley. He would always be in love with her.
But at the moment she didn't really care. Evelyn held her breath and looked up into his dark brown eyes again. She brought a hand nervously to his dark blonde locks and gazed at him for a long moment. "Eric...I..." her voice was faltering a bit. The other hand found its way slowly to his cheek. "Please...don' tell me this is a mistake." She told him softly and then reached up. Her hand went from his cheek to the back of his neck and pulled him downward towards her.
Her lips met his and she kissed him. This time it was her who had moved in first. She stood on the tips of her toes, trying to make up for the distance in height. Then she let go softly and removed her hands from him. Her eyes looked him over and she shook her head. She shouldn't have done that...he was still in love with Ashley. She shook her head, she was being stupid and bloody selfish. "I'm sorry...I shouldn' 'ave...yer not...never mind..." Evelyn stammered awkwardly as she made to walk away.

*Eric smiled at her, inching ever closer as she spoke and then he reached out and ran his fingers through her curls for a moment, no longer caring if she smacked him for it.* You're not wretched Evelyn and you deserve to hear more than words could ever say. You don't give yourself enough credit. *He said softly, his eyes looking over her face. His heart raced as his smile grew and he was flooded with emotion. As she reached her hand up he tipped his head back slightly expecting it to be a smack but her fingers ran through his hair and her other hand went to his cheek. He felt himself blush and suddenly all he saw in the world was her. He swallowed as she spoke and he shook his head gently.* I dont know if its right. *He said honestly, though it certainly didn't feel wrong. He bent over slightly, wrapping his arms about her as she kissed him and then she pulled away. He released her as she appologized and when she started to walk off his hand quickly went to the rings about his neck. He knew right away why she had appologized, she knew his heart was still with Ashley. And for a moment he wondered what she meant when she said your not and then cut off. He trotted over to her and placed his hands upon her shoulders.* Evelyn...what was it that you were going to say to me a moment ago? *He asked, wondering if she was going to mention Ashley.*[/color]

Evelyn pulled away and began to leave when Eric pulled her back and placed his hands on her shoulders. When he spoke to her, her eyes went wide. "What? I..." She looked him over and saw the necklace around his neck. "Ashley." Evelyn said finally and with a heavy sigh. "I'm so sorry mate...I know, yer still in love with her. I really shouldn' 'ave." Evelyn told him shaking her head. "I know ye'll always love her, I can never take her place, I would never, ever want to." She said.
Evelyn stared up at him. She'd never touch her memory and she knew it. Her hand brushed his face softly and she grumbled. "Ah, there I go again." She took her hand away. She had loved the way he had placed his hand in her curls, or the way that for a moment it felt as if he was responding to her. Her heart sank and she looked to the floor. "I'm sorry Eric." She stated and looked up at him with sad eyes.

*As soon as Ashleys name slipped off her tongue he lowered his head and nodded slowly. He did hold Ashleys memory too close and he knew that but with Evelyn standing before him he suddenly felt as if he could close those doors that so desperatly haunted his past. With his eyes still downcast to the floor he spoke.* I do love her, I always will love her. But the love I have for her now is different than the one I had for her then. *He explained, his eyes looking back up at her as her hand brushed his cheek. He smiled softly and then he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into him, resting his chin upon the top of her head and he held her tightly.* Don't be sorry Evelyn, You didn't do anything wrong. *He said in a soft whisper. Then he pulled away from her slightly and lifted her chin with his hand and he smiled and slowly bent over and kissed her again.*[/color]
