Roux had contained himself in his mortal form in his anger at seeing the crew harmed. Jack had goten shot in the back. Cowardly thing to do. He strode through the decks of the Pearl radiating a fiery heat, slashing out at anyone who came near a crew member
He had rescued Kora from below and brought her back to Jack's ship when Jack gave the order to retreat. He laid her in a room, with some measure of gentleness, and then went in search of the Captain. nearly everyone it seemed had gathered to see to it the captain was safe. It made the god smile
there were many wounded. Wounds he would help heal, and he grinned when the captain gave the terse reply that everyone heal and get ready to fight again. It was then Roux came foreward. A gentle sunlight glow coming from his body. It was visial to everyone who was looking. His eyes a radiant gold:
"I can help." came the simple reply. "If you will let me."

*When Tobbs watched Will check Jack's wound, she suddenly sat straight up rather startled as she heard Jack's words. Furrowing her brows, she looked over to Will, and then to Jessi.*
*She looked down at her hand which had a cut across the palm, no biggie, it wasn't deep at all, and she'd already wrapped it up. She sighed and shook her head at the captain.*
"Jack, ya just were shot. I don' think you'll even be ready ta fight in two days, nor the crew as they happen to be wounded in some sort of way. Ya need rest righ' now, so rest. I'm not 'urt, and you are, so I'm afraid I'm not going anywhere."
*She stubbornly narrowed her eyes and had the look like she wouldn't budge, not breaking eye contact with him. She glared slightly and spoke up.*
"And if I recall, the only reason we're standing around 'ere is fer aidin' you Sparrow, so I'd think some appreciation would be shown fer savin' yer arse."
*Her eyes became an icy blue and her voice had a rather angry tone in them, as she wasn't the best at controlling her temper. She clenched her fist and told herself to let it go, he was the captain and that was his duty, so she should expect this type of response. Her features softened and she sighed as she said lighter, yet still solemnly,*
"We'll get the Pearl back, I swear it, alright? Just stop tryin' to save the world when yer still bleedin' for pete's sake. The only reason we're here in this room with ye is because we ca-*she paused and caught ehr words, changing them around a bit* becasue the crew cares for your wellfare. Remember that..."
*she sighed inwardly and her emotions and thoughts were pushed away. She wasn't going to admit the man she was supposed to hate got her worried.*
*Suddenly, she glanced over and there was Roux, lit up like a torch on a summer day. She suddenly understood overall and knew that she was right in her assumptions over him and Orestes. She sighed and spoke up.*
"There's some injured on the deck Roux, mayhap you can take a look at Jack and Evy, as Orestes is already looking at Rose."
*She gazed over at Jack and slightly moved over so Roux could take a look, giving the captain a "dont move or we'll literally tie you down" gaze.*

*Will glanced over to Jack as the man awoke and spoke to all in the room. He grinned and shook his head then sighed.* Im not hurt. *He said simply and was almost surprised by that, considering his tendency to be so careless and or rash. Then he glanced over at Tobbs rather surprised. He didn't know how Jack managed to keep sane with all these head strong women surrounding him. But then again the bigger question was if Jack was even sane in the first place. And then there was Roux, appearing other worldly once again and Will looked upon him curiously. He was starting to put things together but wasn't in the mood for asking questions. Right now he was more concerned about getting the wounded healed and Roux was offering his help. He nodded as Tobbs spoke and he glanced at her.* Yes, Evelyn was shot as well. In the leg. Eric is with her right now but she'll need your help too if she's to fight again in a couple days. *Will stated.*

Roux nodded silently and moved foreward and looked at Will. "A lucky thing for one so passionate as you."
he bent down and stared at Jack. "Relax." Roux's body began to glow. A warm comforting light. it spread, quickly, engulfing the room with it. it was like being wrapped in harmless flames.
And it was gone a moment later. Instants later those who were wounded in the room, had been healed. cuts healed, blood stopped, bones mended skin closed, bruises gone and healed.
Apollo stood before them for a moment, in all his glory. golden, fiery and brillant. He smiled gently at them all, a kind warm smile on his face. "now rest, all of you. you will need it."#nosmileys#nosmileys

:Jack's body mended. but he was still tired. blood lose was a real pain. He closed his eyes, not sure how he was being healed and maybe it was the god's power, but Jack felt plesantly comfortable. His eyes closed. He felt as if in thatminute he'd slept a full night away. He was rested quite suddenly:
:He blinked slowly, not sure of what had happened. He didn't move right away either. Instead he looked at Will curiously as if to ask "what happened?"

*As the soft glow from Roux filled the room the same look of utter confusion and awe came over Wills face as when Roux first revealed himself to him. He blinked a few times as the man...or God rather told them all to get their rest and all he could really do was nod and smile a bit. He was glad for the help, they really needed it.* Thank you Roux. *He said softly then locked eyes with Jack who was apparently just as confused as Will was. Instead he simply shrugged and shook his head a bit. This was one trip that Will didn't think he would ever completley understand nor would he be able to explain it to Elizabeth without her thinking he was insane.*

Roux only nodded and grinned at Will, guessing his thoughts. "Somethings just don't need to be explained. There are things that only the heart and soul need to know."
he gave Jack a quick glance and smiled, then left seeking out the other injured crew. He healed them all, all who wanted his help. then knowing he no longer had to hide, kept his god like form, and stood in the center of the deck, glowing a bright golden glow, his head tilted slightly back, his eyes closed and smiling.
he was drawing in sunlight to his body, and in a sense recharging. He was immortal but he could get a tiny bit tired. He stayed there on deck, giving that same even smile to anyone who came by sand stared. He didn't mind, and he didn't goad either. He simple was being what he realy was.
He hoped all was well, that everyone was alright. Apollo went and then sought out a calm place to think. He was Roux again, mortal and unassuming in apperance. A easily passed over figure.
Only his golden eyes betrayed him.

Hawk nodded at Tobbs and Will, watching Jack uneasily and nodding as he spoke. When Roux/Apollo entered and healed Jack, Hawk backed up a bit; his face didn't show shock or surprise, only reverence. Hermes had explained it to him.
As Roux left, Hawk found the courage to walk to Jack's bedside, studying the captain thoughtfully.
Orestes looked at Sarah in surprise, then nodded. "Thank you, Sarah...I'm Orestes." Accepting her offer with a smile, he carried Rose to a cabin and laid her down, studying her injuries.

( ooc-Ok tell me if I should edit anything)
*Maria was behind the steps to lead belw deck. She held in her hands peices of cloth, to which she bound her hand with. Her hands were beaten and blody from their attempted return to the Pearl. With some help from the railing she rose herself from the floor and headed over to Rose's cabin. Maria saw Rose's state while standing in the doorway, poor lass, she thought. She walked over to where Orestes and Sarah stood and brushed the locks from Rose's face.* " She need anythin' else?"

Post by Emma Hawkins/Rick MacKinnon on Jul 3, 2004 16:14:29 GMT -5
(ooc-Okay,someone tell me if I've screwed anything up too terribly...)
Emma slumped down on the deck of the Hell's Revenge as the Pearl sailed away again,a steady stream of curses pouring from her mouth.Her hand was clenched around her arm just above the elbow,trying to stop the bleeding,but it was no good.Deep red spread along the off-white cloth of her sleeve,seeping through her fingers.When she got her hands on that girl....Gypsy,had she called herself?Well...she wouldn't be smiling when she next ran across Emma Hawkins,that was for damned sure.
"Y-yer 'urt!"
Rick ignored the exasparated look Emma gave him,similar to that of a child explaining to his mother that he was too OLD for bedtime stories and good-night kisses.He knelt at her side,gently prying her fingers away from the wound."Let me see,lass..."
She sighed,removing her hand."It isn' that bad,Rick,really,"she said as she pulled her sleeve up.She winced when the cloth brushed against the wound,but rolled her eyes when Rick hissed through his teeth."I'm fine,really..."
"Fine?Emma,there's a bullet in yer arm..."
"Well,'s not me sword arm,is it?I'll live..."
He rolled his eyes at her."This is serious,Em."Unwrapping the sash from around her waist,he tied it securely across the wound."That'll 'ave t'do f'r now.We'll need someone else t'get th' bullet out,I'd probably only 'urt ye more..."
Emma simply nodded,leaning back against the mast,glaring into the distance where the Pearl had gone.Her eyes were blazing with barely restrained fury.Next time...she wouldn't lose.She wouldn't run away.Retreat was a concept abhorrent to the young woman,necessary as it was.A wave of exhaustion swept over her,and she slumped onto Rick's shoulder.
"Damn them..."

Post by Evelyn on Jul 3, 2004 17:52:45 GMT -5
Evelyn's hands toiled restlessly and as she glanced around the empty looking room she placed the necklace in her pocket. Evelyn took a deep sigh, attempting to catch a bit more of energy before she stood, and closed her eyes. As she did she heard the gentle sounds of footsteps and opened her eyes very quickly to see it was Sarah.
Eve's eyes automatically closed shut as she entered with a couple bowls of soup, their delicious smell filling the room and she smirked a bit. Evelyn didn't want to talk to her at the moment, an hour or so before she had been screaming and tearing Eric's head off because of her, so speaking to her now would be a bit awkward.
When Sarah left she opened her eyes and then fetched one of the bowls and dug in. Eating rather ravenously as she hadn't had a bite since very early this morning, right when they had taken the ship over. As she was finishing her soup, which was swallowed quite quickly, she heard a stir from Eric and looked up.
She heard him mumbling a few words. "Don't leave me, don't leave me alone." Eve heard and her heart fell a bit. She wondered who it was he was calling out for and she pondered wether to disturb him or not. She decided not and instead made to stand. Evelyn struggled as she stood, her right leg buckling a bit under her weight and she leaned against the chair Eric was asleep in.
Looking down at him she simply smirked and moved her fingers delicately in his dark blonde curls for a moment before she limped out of the room. Being cooped up in a bed like that made Evelyn feel a bit useless.
Evelyn headed out with a bit of trouble walking and made her way towards the decks to simply find a seat upon a barrel where she could get some fresh air. Then somewhere she saw Will's face and she felt as if a "Thank you." was needed. She groaned at this. "Bloody hell..." she muttered. "Not only was I completely bloody useless, now I have ta go an' thank the Eunuch." Evelyn said with a mumble and made to find him.

*Eric was sleeping soundly, his mind free of it's usual haunting dreams and there was a simple, and peaceful look upon his face. He shifted in his sleep as Evelyn bumped into his chair and his eyes fluttered a bit. He was about to open his eyes when suddenly he felt her fingers through his hair. Eric pretended to sleep until he heard her uneven footsteps wander out of the room and back onto the deck. He lingered a moment longer and then slowly rose his head, glancing over his shoulder towards the door. He ran his own fingers through his blonde locks and he grinned crookedly for a moment before rising. The smell of the warm soup Sarah had brought found its way to him and he drug the chair back to the small table where he quickly devoured the meal. It wasn't as filling as he had hoped it would be, but none the less it was better than nothing.*[/color]
*Will went up to Jack and gave the man a simple pat on the shoulder and he grinned.* I'll go see if I can find some rum on this ship. *He stated and hurried out of the cabin. He was about to head below deck when he spotted Evelyn limping towards him and he raised a brow. It seemed as if she had refused the help of Roux as she was obviously still hurt. He laughed and shook his head at her stubborness. He trotted over to her and crossed his arms, the grin still lingering on his lips.* I don't see Eric with you. You didn't kill him did you? *Will asked, nudging her slightly. He was glad to see her up and about, at least she was well enough to be doing that.*

Evelyn looked up as Will walked towards her and she smirked a bit as he spoke. "Kill 'im? How d'ye know mate?" Evelyn said with a laugh. "No...he's sound asleep. Can' even stay up ta look after me...the bloody disgrace." Evelyn said with a small laugh as she limped past him to sit upon a crate. Her leg still throbbed and she couldn't stand around on it for too long.
She saw as he still stood in the middle of the deck and she sighed. "Woul ye bloody follow me? I need ta tell ye somethin'." Evelyn told him with a soft growl and a bit of a laugh. She motioned for him to sit with her briefly. Her eyes stared out a bit and around until they rested on Will. "Thank ye Will. Fer helpin' me out like that." She told him sincerely and with a nod. "I coulda died out there if ye didn't help me when ye did. I hope I didn' insult ye TOO bad. Although a bit of it isn't too bad. Builds character." Evelyn told him with a smirk smacking him gently in the back.
"I see why ye would be Eric's friend mate, yer a good man. I see that. Listen...Will...when we get back to Port Royale...if..." she paused slightly and bit her lip. "I mean...WHEN Eric goes back ta shore with ye, ye'll promise to look after 'im for me, right?" she asked him lifting a brow. She had thought about herself and Eric for a bit and decided it was best he went back to Port Royale and a 'normal' life.
Eric really didn't belong around her, where everything was rough and jagged. She saw him completely different. He was better than this life. She was a bad influence on him, and she hated seeing herself bring someone to her level like that. It hurt to try and let go but, she was going to try. It was the best for him. Ashley could keep him...she decided. He was meant for her, and she felt guilty trying to pull him away from that. Eve would let go...would tell him to leave...encourage him, renounce him if she REALLY had to...she just hoped she had it in her to lie to him like this...to turn him away...

*A bright smile formed on Wills face as she pretended to have killed Eric and he chuckled lightly for a moment, shaking his head. He imagined the poor guy was rather weary considering the fact that no sooner had he arrived back in Port Royal from England, he turned around and boarded the Pearl with Will. His eyes followed Evelyn as she limped past him and sat down. He lingered a moment then quickly sat down beside her as she motioned for him. He raised a brow and a shocked look came over his face as she appologized to him. Though he noticed she had been looking around to make sure no one else would hear, or see what she was doing. Will admired both the physical and mental strength of Evelyn. He also admired the fact that she was willing to let a weakness show through now and again, even if it was by mere accident. Will himself typically wore his weaknesses on his sleeve. He looked at her oddly for a moment as she exchanged "if" for "when" and he could guess what she was thinking, and if he was right partially agreed with her. Will nodded and patted her leg.* I'll look after him. Of course I'm not sure how comforting that is! *He said with a grin and grunt. He gave her shoulder a quick squeeze and smiled at her briefly before rising and wandering off to the front of the ship with a deep sigh.*
*Eric brought the bowl to his lips and finished off his soup, clear down to the last drop. Then he licked his lips and glanced around the room, though his eyes were distant and thoughtful. His mind filled with thoughts of Evelyn and for a moment he laughed. Of all the people he had ever met, it was this small but fiesty woman that put up the best battle of wits with him. In an essence he felt he had met his match. But then he frowned as it hit him like a ton of bricks that they were entirely different people who reside in two astoundingly different worlds. He rose quickly to go find her when he spotted her talking with Will. He grinned as he faintly heard her appologize to him and he shook his head. As Will sauntered off, Eric went over to her and plopped down beside her, giving her a smack on the shoulder.* Feeling any better? *He asked, eyeing her.*[/color]

Evelyn grinned slightly as Will answered her. Although she had rather mixed feelings on his answer to her. Evelyn half was expecting, hoping, that he would tell her 'No, Eric's going to stay, he belongs with you.' but those words never came and instead he seemed to already know that he was going to go back to Port Royale with him. To this Evelyn sighed heavily but accepted it. She laughed lightly. " Heh, not too comfortin' really." She told him not wanting to lift her eyes to him. When he left her side she leaned back and looked down at her leg.
Suddenly Eric's cheery voice came through and she attempted to smile. "Feelin' better, Eric, thanks." She said clearing her throat trying to change her state of mind. She turned away from him a bit and pondered wether she should discuss this with him now. With a sigh she let it out. She better do it now or by the time they return to Port Royale she'll be wanting him to stay.
"Eric mate, when ye go back to Port Royale, what d'ye think ye'll do? I mean we both bloody well know ye can' stay here...an' I'd never leave..." Evelyn told him in a flat, heartless tone. "Ye'll go work with Will, won' ye?" she asked him. She suspected he worked with Will because Eric's hands were a bit rough and worn.
She was trying to get this conversation over with quickly, with as little pain as possible but that was proving to be difficult. She never expected him to drop everything and stay with her. He wasn't fit for this. And she could never go with him, her heart belonged out at sea with Jack and the crew. She was and always would be a pirate...nothing, and NO ONE could ever change it...although for ONCE she wished she wasn't so attached to the sea...
