Rhys watched the fight going on around her, gripping her knife tightly in her hand. She nearly jumped in when Linea was about to die, but Roux beat her to it. He was flashing gold in his eyes and she backed up a step. The man moved so fast, and she could have sworn he had gotten cut. But there was no blood, no sign of an injury. Shaking her head, thinking that the blood loss was getting to her she gripped her knife harder.
Sharp pain shot up her hands from the wounds there, as Jack intercepted Roux. Stopping him from killing the girl. "Why?! She tried to kill Linea and me!" she wanted to shout. However, she had not lived in the theives chain of command to have not learned to follow orders. She could not question his word and therefore bit back any comments.
Hearing the suggestion to leave her somewhere, she looked up grinning happily. "How about we toss her in the snake pit? It's what she did to me! Give her a taste of her own medicine! Let her deal with those vile creatures!" she suggested calmly.

:Linea had watched in awe the fight between Roux and Kora. She had thought she was going to die, but found out that someone had other plans. Once it was over and she saw Roux about to kill her cousin, she turned her head. Kora deserved what she got, maybe even worse, but was death the justice she needed? Jack answered her fears and doubts and stopped her cousins death. She held onto Roux as he helped her up and buried her head in his shoulder a few tears escaping her eyes.:
Thank you for saving my life. I can't believe what happened. I didn't think I was going to lose, but I guess I'm not that good a swordsman anymore. I thank you so much.
:As for Kora, she was angry for loosing, though she was quite the fighter. Cursing as Roux had the upper hand, she tried as hard as she could to find an opening. When she did, she was shocked to see his wound heal instantly. Again, she was shocked when she heard his voice enter her mind and tell her that he was a god. Shuddering at his words, she knew the fight was lost and death was her prize. As Jack rang out to stop it, she sighed a little knowing he wouldn't have her killed and spoke to him.:
I guess I am lucky to be born female. So many things I can do and you won't kill me. You're a sissy! You couldn't even handle killing me even though you know the crimes against me. Eh, but it works in my favour, So I guess I'll be seeing you later.
:Turning away, she winked at Linea and started walking away from the pirates.:
:Linea, who was holding onto Roux tightly and shivering slightly after the fight and the wounds she did incurr. Turning away from Roux, she walked up to her cousin and spoke icily after hearing Rhys's idea for punishment.:
You know what Kora, you're not leaving here by walking. The only way you may leave is when your body is found and your life force gone. You have dishonoured your family and your name and it's a disgrace that I must call you my cousin. I looked up to you, loved you as you like my own sister, but you betrayed me and those I love. When you do that, there is nothing stopping me from hurting you. I hope you're not too afraid.
:Turning to Jack she nodded and smiled at Rhys.:
Give to her what she rightfully deserves. She's bought an invitation to join the snakes in the pit.

Roux smiled at Jack, looking for the man's approval on this idea. The Captain nodded and Roux walked over to Linea and glared at Kora.
"For what you've done you deserve worse." He said iceily. "In you go." He moved quickly almost too quickly. He slipped Kora up in his arms, and dropped her none too gently over the side of the pit. He stared down at her grimly.
He lifted the vines from the pit and turned to the others. "Lets go." He muttered darkly and took Linea's hand. His eyes flickered once at her, and then turned deep hazel again. He was normal again and he ignored Kora's shouts as he strode away.#nosmileys

::Jack glared at Kora a moment then bit down his pride. He gave Roux a nod. He'd let this happen. She brought it on herself.::
::He walked away, motioning for the crew to follow him into the jungle. Kora's shouts found his ears and he ignored them. Traitors only did so once before they learned their lesson.::
::They walked back to camp and Jack looked Will, Rhys, Linea, Roux, Sarah and Lily over and smiled. somewhat oddly proud of them.:: "Right then...let's get something to eat....get some rest."
::Darkness had come once more, sunset. Jack leaned against a tree, and called out almost playfully: "If anyone sees any cannibels, snakes, or whatever, just shout an' run!"
::He was chuckling lightly andwatched his crew through dark lidded eyes. All was well...for now.....::::

Lily had yelped when the fight broke out. Waiting for a clear shot she held her throwing knifes aloft. Then suddenly it was over. Roux had defeated Kora.
And then Kora was in the snake pit. She blinked, startled, but followed the rest of them back to camp. She was a bit shaken and went to sit near the fire, not really sure of what to think of all this.

Mark stood up and began to walk along. He didn't know what drove him to walk where he was walking but he didn't think much about it. He could hear the life of the jungle all around. Howler monkies, birds, bugs, etc. He sniffed a flower that was growing near the base of a large tree. It was several shades of blue and purple with some white.
"Ewww! Looks can be deceiving my friend.....very deceiving."
He said after smelling the horrible smell. He looked over his shoulder and stared at the crew. He continued on his way and heard some yelling not far off. He rushed there as quickly as he could. Not that it was really all that quick. He drove into the un tamed jungle and found the source. He found a small group of people and they appeared to be fighting. ' Not this again. ' he thought to himself. It seemed that all the crew did was fight or fall into booby traps or the such. He stood where he was watching this. He finally drew one of his guns and fired it into the air.
"STOP IT! Stop it you bloody fools! What the Hell is going on!"
He yelled allowing some of his bottled up anger to explode from deep within him.

Post by Emma Hawkins/Rick MacKinnon on Sept 12, 2004 22:10:43 GMT -5
As Emma was pulled back up over the edge of the cliff,she felt herself pulled forward into Rick's strong arms."Rick,I'm bloody fine,"she mumbled automatically as he stroked her long hair,burying his face in her neck.A light blush crept across her face as she returned his embrace."Ye worry too much..."
"'F I 'ad a pint f'r every time y'said that,Emma,I could open me own bar..."He felt her laugh softly into his shoulder,and smiled."Yer not 'urt,then?Let's keep goin'..."He released her,knowing she didn't appreciate excessive affection while around the rest of the crew.But all the same,he walked closer to her as the crew took off into the jungle again.
Everything seemed fairly uneventful...right up until Jack and Will disappeared into the ground.Those two could get into as much trouble as Emma...and generally speaking,they weren't even trying....
There was chaos for a while as everyone tried to get Jack and Will out.Rhys got down there,too,though Emma couldn't tell how.Finally,after a lot of snakes flying about and people shouting,everyone was up again...But just as soon as Emma thought she had her bearings on the situation again,Kora and Linea had drawn their blades and were fighting.She narrowed her eyes,slipping her saber from its sheath as she tried once again to figure out what the living hell was going on...
Kora had pused Rhys in?A low growl escaped the young woman;the crew was her family,and Emma wouldn't put up with threats to them.But Roux took care of the situation quite nicely,with a short scuffle ending in Kora being deposited in the snake pit.A satisfied smirk was on her lips as her sword went back into its sheath.Jack suggested getting some rest,and she immediately flopped down on the ground,pulling her flask out of her pocket."Sounds like a plan...We've had enough excitement f'r just now..."

Roux held Linea close to him as they walked back. He was angry beyond what words could tell. He could honestly kill Kora right now.
He moved her to a place in the camp a bit away from the others. There he wrapped his arms securely around her and dipped his head to rest on the top of hers. He was careful, allowing no light to show from him but a deep comforting feeling washed over Linea.
"I would have never let her touch you." He whispered softly. "Never. So sleep now. I'll stay awake tonight."

Post by Will Turner on Sept 13, 2004 1:39:04 GMT -5
*Will moved aside as Jack and Rhys scrambled their way up the vines and out of the pit. Except for a couple scrapes and bruises the lot of them were in rather good shape. How this was Will had no idea, but he wasn't about to question it further.
As Rhys asked about ladies first Will grinned and slowly glanced over at the Captain.* Well I would have let Jack go first but he wasn't fast enough. *He snickered.* And yes I have all my bits, thanks Roux. *He said, and shot Jack a glare, just daring him to make a smart remark about what Will had just said.
He proceeded to dust himself off and adjust his clothes when Roux said that Kora had tried to kill Rhys. Wills eyes narrowed and it was then that he spotted the two women facing off. His eyes narrowed and his hand went to his sword hilt, though for once he wasn't rash and awaited the Captains actions.
He watched nervously and gasped as Linea bent down, telling the woman to get her death over with. His brow furrowed and his jaw dropped. He shot an annoyed glanced Jacks way when he said a lady wasnt to be killed, but he understood. Will had the same views however he also saw loop holes.* You're right Jack, a man should never hurt nor kill a lady. So let Linea kill her, or Tobbs or Evy. *He scowled, afraid if they let this woman go it would come back to haunt them later. As Mark let a shot ring off into the air Will hurried over to him, grabbing the mans shoulder.* Kora is a traitor, thats what's happening. Shes about to get a little of what she deserves. *He answered.*
He glanced over at Rhys and grinned, nodding in agreement.*[/i] I like her idea. *He stated and his smile grew as Linea even agreed to putting the cruel woman into the pits, it was a better fate than what she deserved, or at least he thought so. He watched as she was tossed into the pits and he rubbed his hands together.* Looks like that snake will get his diner after all. *He grunted and followed the others back to the camp.
Eric approached him, asking what had happened and Will let out a heavy, drawn out sigh.* Snakes, lots of snakes...that are now enjoying dessert. *He said simply, slapping his friend on the shoulder. Elizabeth noticed him and rushed towards him, throwing her arms about him and kissing him gently.* Oh Will, what happened to you this time?[/color] *She asked. He swiftly explained it to her as they set themselves up a spot to sleep. She curled into him and he wrapped his arms about her, kissing her cheek.* Will, my luv, you'll have to take things easier soon enough.[/color] *She said, yawing and closing her eyes. Will blinked at her.* Why, what do you mean? *He asked, but she only smiled. He grinned at her, rolled his eyes, and fell asleep as well.*

:Linea rested against Roux as he wrapped his arms around her and she sighed lightly. She was safe, and she made her feel that way always. There was a glow around her, she could feel it, and it seemed to ease her into a calmer state as her shivering ceased bit by bit. Hearing his words she smiled and turned a bit to look at him. Giving him a kiss on his cheek she nodded.:
I know you wouldn't have let her hurt me, but I being foolish figured that since she was family, it was my obligation to deal with her and take the consequences. Even now I hear her shouts ringing in my ears, and I wonder if we've done the right thing. In my mind, I know it is, but I fear my heart is having doubts. It doesn't matter though, what's done is done. I shall sleep as you say, but you shall be tired as well, so please sleep a little dear, I don't want you all weary on me.
:With her words, she lay her head on him and closed her eyes, drifting fast off to sleep.:

::Jack gave Will a smirk about having all his bits. He grinned wildy, ready to say something.....so wanting to just make one smart arsed comment, but he didn't::
::He was for once, tired again. He watched Will and Elizabeth. Linea and Roux and smirked a bit then closed his eyes. Well......it had been a long day. and he yawned tiredly. It was time to just rest, if they could.::
::Jack had noted Elizabeth's...well....state. He grinned, wondering if he should just let Will in on the little surprise in store for him, but decided not to. The lad needed some surprise in his life, would do him some good. If he couldn't be a pirate then he could bloody well be a confused blacksmith.....:::
::He grinned to himself, somehow pleased beyond words with his crew and the people he dragged along with them. Finally with a yawn Jack crossed his arms over his chest, leaned aganist a tree, and shut his eyes, and listened::::

Jason had begun to set up camp. Making a few fires and going out into the jungle and bringing back fruit that looked as if it were safe to eat.
As Jack and the others returned he gave them all a look over. Well, from the way most of them were walking it looked as if they had been in a near death sistuation yet again. Jason began to seriously wonder about the wisdom in staying a part of Jack's crew if everyone kept nearly dying.
But he smiled and just stroked th fire a bit higher, then sat back to admire his handy work.

Kalin had helped his brother build up camp. He brought back some water and helped light fires. He too looked up when Jack and the others returned somewhat worse for wear.
"Honestly, they're worse then I am sometimes." Kalin smirked. He ate some fruit and passed around the various foods he and Jason had found. Some of it was really quite good.
With a grin Kalin stood and walked towards the edge of camp. "I'll keep watch." He offered to nobody in particular, a signal that everyone who needed sleep could get some. He was quite alright, very alert and ready to face off anything that came near them.

Rhys walked back to the camp slowly, she felt slightly bad for the girl they had just dumped in the snake pit, but the girl could take that huge snake. All she had to do was get a little dirty. Sighing, she pushed the yells out of her head, reminding herself that the girl had pushed her in. She had to shake back the feeling that the whole episode would come back to haunt her.
A shooting pain through her hands, made her think about the cuts in her hands. Some how helping Mark had snapped her out of her death welcoming state. It was a good thing, too. If she had stayed like that who knows what she would have done. She might have endangered the crew, certainly something she did not want to happen ever. Sighing, she peeled the makeshift bandage off of her left hand and eyed the cut, and bleeding flesh. It did not look too bad, just needed a new bandage.
Looking down she remembered that she had torn off all of her clothes that was decent to help Mark. Looking around she spotted one a friendly face that did not seem to be too busy or sleeping. Making her way over to Jason, she smiled at him shyly, "Do you happen to have anything I could rebandage my hands with?"

Avery somehow found himself sitting in a boat helping the crew row. They quickly made their way to shore, but a ship with black sails caught Ry's eye before he climbed out of the longboat. A ship he remembered attacking his home once. He bit down a grin, crewing on his bottom lip slightly. That ship had allowed him to get a good nights work in. Opening stores for plundering and people for robbing.
He jumped into the shallow water after a moment, splashing his way the last few feet to shore. As much as he was a serious man who did not care to laugh or even smile unnecessarily, he could not help but let the smile light up his face. Blue eyes sparkled brightly and his face turned handsome, a face that would make most women swoon.
Running a wet hand through his hair, he observed the beach around him. It looked as if it was undisturbed by any movement. The trees were tall and bright, with small furry animals seen swinging in their branches. There were a few palm trees towards the edge of the jungle, with fallen coconuts waiting under them.
Ry jogged over to one of the palm trees and picked up a coconut, shaking it. There was no noise, so he dropped it again. Picking up a new one, he shook it as well. This time he heard a swish of liquid and smiled happily. Pulling his knife from his belt, he slowly carved a hole in the brown ball. Suddenly the smell of coconut wafted out of the hole he made and he smiled. Holding the hole to his lips he let the milk pour into his mouth.
Drinking his fill, he turned around and saw much of the crew were wandering around waiting for instructions. His eyes landed on the man that had tried to talk to him in the boat. Coming up to the group he was standing with Ry held the coconut out, "There's some milk left if any of you would like it..." He had never been able to make friends easily, more of the hard type of man that kept his friends close once he made them, but did not have many. It had been harder to get close to anyone since his sister had left, so hard.
