Evelyn looked to Eric as he spoke and then turned away. She REALLY didn't want to be lectured on how she should be dealing with things, and she glared at him a bit hatefully. She was still boiling with anger for her past, it had managed to mess things up even now. She shook her head and brushed a small curl from her face. "Ye know WHAT?!" Evelyn began as she quickly strided up to him and then turned him around. "I NEVER said I was blamin' ye, did I? YER the one mentionin' it so ye MUST feel bloody guilty..." Evelyn huffed as she crossed her arms.
"I would never have left the Pearl...its been my ONLY bloody home that I actually felt safe in...savvy? But YOU'VE been a wanderer really...I mean ye COULD have made an effort!" Eve shouted and her voice broke the utter silence in the jungle. Her eyes passed over him in loathing and she had the strongest urge to simply lunge out at him and give him a good smack across the face.
Her right arm trembled a bit and she made to lift it but forced herself to rest it upon her hip instead. "I just...GAH! Ye make me SO bloody mad sometimes...ye know that?" she growled as instead she lashed out at a random bush, smacking it and making a few birds in the canopy scatter. "WHY can'...I mean...ye don'..." Evelyn shook her head. "If I explained ALL of it to ye...ye jus'...ye don' wanna know..." She gave a soft growl and made to head away.
A frustrated tear stung her eyes but nothing fell. She was simply, utterly, and completely full of rage, hurt, and pain. There was no need for tears now, they were only a weakness and Eve knew it. With that she began to head off quickly, storming past Eric without so much as a sideglance.

::Jack eyed her a long while, a smile growing on his face and he nodded:: "Aye....well....if we don't hear anything strange in a few minutes then I'll say they're safe and it's alright to stay out here......of course then they might all be dead if we hear nothing..."
::His voice was teasing now but he sat up, still holding her as close as he could physically hold her to him. Somehow he just didn't want to let go of her. Cause then something would change. Everything would change. The moment of peace would end.::
::But reality creeped back into place and he realized that the crew might be needing them both. He didn't know the jungles as he knew the seas and he'd feel better if he were near the crew. They were HIS crew after all. He felt it was his responsibility, even if they were grown, to watch over them to some degree.::
::Deciding it would just be best to end this wonder little moment now before he changed his mind he straightened himself and smiled at her. tilting his head he watched her, dark eyes still glittering despite the fact that only the stars were providing much light. He was mischievious once more.....::
"We can continue this....discussion later...." He said carefully, bending her neck to his veiw just a bit better. He ran a trail of kisses from her collar bone to her ear. Being almost painfully slow about it. "Wait for a more..." He dropped a kissed in the hollow of her neck...: "oppurtune moment then....." He laughed and kissed her lips, a imitation of the one before. passionate, breathstealing. He was getting rather good at this, knowing what buttons to push so to speak. He'd have her a puddle in no time.:: "Savvy?"
::That being said, his point made, he helped her up, and gave her a sly wink. He'd just started a whole new game. :: "come then luv...let's go back....make sure the crew hasn't killed themselves...or gotten eaten....or fallen off a cliff......."
:;But as he walked back he took her hand, fitting his fingers through hers....gave her hand a gentle squeeze and followed the way back that they went in from...listening for any signs of trouble:

*Tobbs nodded and snuggled into Jack as he sat up, making sure there wasn't a distance between them at all really. She would've shruged the fact that there was no noise from the crew, and would've stayed out here, if it had not been for the last part he said. Crew could hurt. Or worse....made her shiver a bit.*
*Catching the mischevious look he gave as she snapped out of her thoughtful look, she furrowed her brows in curioisity. And then he started speaking, and tilted her neck, and she knew what he was up to. Going for the vulnerable spot, eh? Pushing the buttons? She could fight this, indeed she could. Honestly....*
*Alright she couldn't at all. He had her up in another passionate kiss. Was he TRYING to say soemthing? Honestly! She could barely contain herself as it was, and now this? I mean, bloody hell!*
*She barely noted what he said, just caught the sly wink, and the gentle squeeze he gave her hand. She was still dazed from it all really. No joke. He was that astounding. And now she was thrown back into thinking over the ship again. Taking a step or two in his direction, she stopped and turned to look in the direction of the ship.*
*Tobbs was about ready to drag Jack off to the ship. Seriously. No joke. And then the sudden thought hit her as she whispered to ehrself, as if confirming it.*
"The ship's too bloody far...to 'ell with the jungle!"
*Turning back towards Jack, her heart raced. She didn't think a stampede of wild animals could make her care less. Almost running, she pulled him down to the ground and in an instant was kissing him this time around. Full heartedly here. He'd really pushed her buttons. She already was having trouble bloody resisting. It was honestly HIS fault! No matter right now though, she was too absorbed to be thinking.*
*Bloody moments. She was lost in a fury of passion he'd sparked. Still kissing him, a hand went from his cheek to his chest, fidgeting with buttons again so her hand would be useful, the other still holding his hand. Right now, she frankly didn't care what was around her. Everything was focused on being with him.*

Once everyone was off the boat it was better to see all of the crew, along with her new crew members. She noticed a red head that stuck out aganist the crowd. She didn't remember having a red head on the crew. Tasha was curious and moved towards him. The hair belonged to a tall man whom seemed sure of himself. Tasha wasn't sure if he was one of the ones that had tried to throw Selina, Micheal, and herself off theship. She hadn't seen him before and hoped he wasn't one of the ones, but decided that she would wait for him to introduce herself.

(I blame Tobbs....just for the record)
::Jack let out a yelp, surprised, honestly confused and landed with a somewhat painful thunk on the ground.::
"Bloody...what the?!" Jack got about that much out and he couldn't breath. "Tobbs....what're...?" He managed to get out before he held her off just long enough to take in some air.::
"Tobbs....why?" He wanted to ask her if she'd lost her mind, or found it. But he stared at her, and realized what happened. He laughed and held her still for a moment. "Easy luv.....not the oppurtune place.....how'd ye like a bug to come crawling up yer neck?" He asked reasonably.. ..trying to calm her a bit::
::Or scare her into stopping. Much as he would have just loved the idea....well....he didn't exactlly fancy the idea of landing in some monkey dung or something. Took some of the flame outta things...::
"I'm not leavin' ye.....wait a bit luv...." He tried to rub her arms, ease some of the tension out of her. He laughed, wondering had it been in Tortuga with anyone else would he be holdin' back so much?: "Just, relax...." He whispered. "I told ye...yer not like anyone else...and if this is going to happen luv, It'll be like nothing else..but just wait...can ye do that?" He asked her seriously.::
:He sat up a little and smiled at her, kissed her cheek once and hugged her tightly, figuring that might calm her just a little. He took a breath, and another then rested her head on his chest: "Just wait...savvy? No more kissin' then....?" He laughed a little bit, and held her close. "I promise...there'll be a oppurtune moment soon...just wait...."

(Oh no, It's ALLLLL Jack's fault, honestly now! *tackles him*)
*Tobbs was still kissing him, catching his protests with little change, until he held her off and she stopped, taking in some air herself. Perhaps she had lost it. She'd lost control. Was hard around him, he seemed to know just how to get what he wanted, or make her lose all threads of control. The latter resulted this time.*
'Easy luv.....not the oppurtune place.....how'd ye like a bug to come crawling up yer neck?'
*Not the opportune place? Right now, she didn't care as much about that. The bug thing stuck with her though. Made her shiver a bit. Still, she could've easily dismissed that and went right back into the moment if it was called for.*
*She was tensed up, and when he tried to ease it out, she relaxed a bit more, sighing defeatedly as he rubbed her arms. She wanted it to be somewhere special, aye, the right moment, yes, but it was hard to patient. And REALLY hard, since she, well, wasn't patient at all. When he asked if she could wait, she nodded slowly as she gazed at him, telling herself she had to try like crazy.*
*Letting her head fall in rest on his chest, she gave another sigh of slight impatience, but contentment of being with him nonetheless. She was suprised; usually she figured men'd be more impatient. Now look who was doing so.*
"Wait....wait? Alrigh'....I'll wait...just bloody 'ard to be patient I guess...never was good at waiting."
*When he mentioned no kisses, her eyes shot back to his and she turned her head towards him. She was a huggy, touchy, kissy type of person as well. So that notion didn't go to smooth.*
"No no, kisses are good..."
*Leaning back and resting her head again, she muttered softly more matter-of-factly.*
"Kisses are great..."
*Then, back in a tone as patient and gentle as it could be, she spoke up again.*
"But savvy, I'll be as patient as I can be....this opportune moment's gonna be one 'ell of a moment...worth waiting for...just 'ard to bloody do so..."
*Staying there a few seconds, she gave one final sigh before glancing back up at him.*
"Well now, best try again. At this rate, we won't make it back to camp until tomorrow afternoon."
*She was already waiting to get back to the others and check in, then go off and snuggle next to Jack and rest. She'd contain herself from now on, as much as she could. But she wasn't saying it was going to be easy. And She WASNT promising anything either. Especially with that button pusher...*

(no no..it's Tobbs....it's all her! I mean who jumped who here? ahem)
::Jack smirked, kissed her again, smaller kisses, just enough to tease her. Not enough to make her go wild again.:: "Alright...just..take it easy...don't know how much my body can take being thrown on the ground and all...."
::He chuckled then looked at her and then at the direction the camp was in. he narrowed his eyes a little. Then he just laughed a bit:: "Alright...ok...lets say we catch our breath here then.....cause ye seem to have a habit of stealing mine.....and we'll just.....lie here...alright?" Jack said softly. "Just...wait....."
::Self control was not one of Jack's strong points.....not when it came to things like this...but damnit he was trying. It wasn't helping that Tobbs was instigating this either. He was trying to calm down......they both needed to calm down::
"Yer makin' this a hell o' a lot harder then it should be." Jack laughed and kissed her again. "Ye' know that?"

{Only because Jack was clearly pursuing on! And when she was already struggling to resist! Clearly Jack's fault here!)
*He was teasing her again with smaller kisses, but they were kisses nonetheless. Returning the favor, she drew back a little when he looked towards the camp. She closed her eyes and told herself to pull together and gain back control. It wasn't easy, and it wasn't entirely gained back.*
"Cath our breaths then...here? Alrigh', catching breath..."
*She was really talking herself into catching her breath back than actually doing it, but it was slowly working nonetheless.*
"Just lie here? Okay....catching breath again.."
*She almost sounded disappointed. She knew she should be going with what he was saying, but it was so bloody hard to be patient, and especially under the circumstances. Adjusting so the two of them were lying down a bit more comfortably, she sighed and shook her head, letting his last kiss soak in as she returned it.*
"Me making this 'arder? I'd say all around it's bloody difficult...it doesn't 'ave to be..."
*Tobbs blinked a few times. Was she actually TEMPTING him? Alright, she was really needing to control herself. Groaning and putting her hand over her face, she sighed and peaked through her fingers at him.*
"I don' even know if I can make it through tonight without completely losing it again, so until we get back to the ship's a risky chance. But I'll try 'ard, really really really 'ard....gah, if only you weren't so bloody great."
*Blaming him again slightly, she smiled and removed her hand, pushing back her hair behind her ear again as it fell in her face. She fidgeted a bit, tracing his jaw with ehr fingers, then tilting up towards his lips...NO! Not good!*
*Muttering again, she drew her hand away and placed it in his, making sure he had a grasp of it. She laughed lightly.*
"You've got control over me now Jack, 'appy?....or do you?"
*She wasn't sure. She couldn't keep her hand still, and he wasn't trying to pursue things as being the opportune moment. So what in blazes was going on?!*

*Eric groaned and rolled his eyes as she grabbed his arm, spining him around to face her. He folded his arms across his chest and his jaw clenched as he attempted to avoid eye contact with her at the moment. He found it amazing how one moment they would be butter in eachothers hands, and in the next they'd be at the others throat.* Well you bloody well SEEM like you're blaming me. *He cried back and then he laughed angrily, taking a step closer to his as he dark eyes flashed and narrowed.*
I've been a wanderer? Evelyn I've lived in two places in my life and that was England and Port Royal. You're the one who travels the seas on a ship. And you're calling me a wanderer? *He exclaimed and then shook his head. He was breathing heavily now, emersed in anger, the likes of which he hadn't felt for a long time.* I wanted to stay, Evelyn. More than anything I wanted to be with you but I didn't see how. You're used to this kind of life, I've never lived it. I didn't know if I could. *He stated, looking her over, wondering how he could make her see things from his side of the story.* Planting me into piracy is like planting you into a life of corsettes and proper behavior! *He explained.
He paused for a moment, wanting to say everything at once and yet not able to find the words to speak his thoughts with.* And you didn't exactly make an effort to keep me around either you know. *He stated, still convinced she was blaming him, even if only in the smallest way. Out of the corner of his eye he watched her hands, knowing she wanted to smack him a thousand times over.
He rolled his eyes again, leaving them like that for a long moment as she spoke and turned to walk away. She stormed past him and he stayed put, watching her go until she was nothing more than a silouhette.* Evelyn! *He called, taking a single step forward.* I do want to know. If you're worried about telling me because you fear it'll change the way I feel about you, well you're wrong. *He said and with a heavy sigh followed after her, making sure to keep a fair amount of distance between them. They both needed their space right now, maybe always.*

::Jack nodded, and closed his eyes. Bloody hell. He had a feeling that if they stayed here long enough he might end up agreeing with Tobbs::
::He sighed once seemingly trying to maintain himself just a bit. Finally he looked at her::: "Oppurtune moment luv...." He said trying to convince them both. Honestly he wasn't sure if the oppurtune moment would come quickly enough and right now he was having trouble with the general idea:::
::he stared at her a while, not sure exactlly what to do with this situation and was half wondering if he tried ot move again if she'd tackle him then they'd just nd up right here again. This was never going to work::
::He glanced at the sky, trying to judge how far along the night was. A few hours till dawn. Jack seemed to be calculating numerous things. How long befor they could rach the ship. How long he'd be able to maintain what little sanity he had left, and just how long Tobbs would maintain. The answers were as followed: Two days of hiking, possibly one hour, and maybe twenty minutes.::
::No this would never do:: "Luv..." He whispred. "I'm figuring we either do something now or wait till we have a bit of a better place......you'r choice...." Jack muttered, kissed her hand, up her wrist, then giving that idea up all together and kissed her lips again:::

'Opportune moment luv...'
"Oh believe me, I'm trying REALLY 'ard right now to wait for that bloody moment..."
*She was trying to pace herself, slow down her thoughts, get her mind focused, stop the madness all around. She was holding onto a few threads before she entirely would give up hope of ever gaining back sanity and control in the situation. And they were slowly bending towards a break.*
*Tobbs didn't rightly know if she would tackle Jack again if he moved. She wanted to be near him, yes, but right now she was aiming for something a bit more higher on the bar. And frankly she was having a hard time talking herself out of it. A really hard time.*
She was pondering what way she could drive the thought out of her mind when she noted Jack's thoughtful look. And then he whispered.
'Luv.....I'm figuring we either do something now or wait till we have a bit of a better place......you'r choice..'
*Well crap. Her choice? HER choice? She was the less sane of the two to begin with at this point. She fidgeted. This wasn't good. Jack was beginning to compromise with her now, when she was trying to aim for his idea of an opportune moment. There wasn't any hope if they both gave up on fighting to wait for it. Like seriously, no hope at all. And it wasn't looking hopeful anyways.*
*And then Jack was kissing her all over again. She was really just going to give up and let this moment run its course. But something told her if she waited...something told her it would have a more special point to it, just because they'd wait for the perfect moment, and not simply the one they were both losing control in.*
"Jack..."
*She said, pulling away slightly and gazing in his eyes. She didn't know HOW she'd ust done that, but somehow she did.*
"Jack...let's...let's wait...I can't believe I'm actually saying this...but somethin' tells me if we wait, or try waiting...something'll'old more of something to it...if that makes sense...so we should try...try and wait for some sort of better place, and time for this.."
*It was like she was listening to herself speak. She didn't know how she was doing it. And slowly and slowly she was leaning into him, caressing his face again as her hand gained freedom, catching his face in the curve of her hand. And then, she kissed him softly, briefly, just to show she really wanted this, but he'd been right. They should wait.*
*But one wasn't enough. She paused slightly and kissed him again, and again, and after about the fifth time, when it started growing a tad more heated than she purposed, and more times than she meant, she pulled away and muttered.*
"Opportune moment, opportune moment...gah, maybe I should just look forward to the Gold city, maybe they'll 'ave some kind of accomodations there for pete's sake."
*She was resting her head again on him, sighing and trying to stop herself from promoting any more of the situation. She wanted this so badly...but she knew she had to wait. They both did. And, drawing his hand up in hers, she lay her head in it and adorned it with a few kisses as she gazed at him, waiting his thoughts.*

Post by Evelyn on Sept 17, 2004 0:29:30 GMT -5
Evelyn simply proceeded as Eric followed. He seemed to linger close by, but she sensed distance growing between them. Her honeyed eyes scanned the jungles and she sighed heavily. She was angry, to say the very least. She was frustrated with the tone he was taking with her. She bit her lip, trying to hold back the insults that dared escape her lips, then in all her pondering she suddenly stopped dead in her tracks. She was losing her way…no…this way…
With that Evelyn trudged along, listening to Eric carefully. She’d be damned if he’d get away with ANY sort of insult at her. At this point, arguing with her was simply ASKING to get ripped to shreds. She couldn’t hold it back any longer and with that Evelyn stopped dead in her tracks, spun upon the heel of her boot, and looked to Eric dead in the eye. “Fer yer bloody information I wasn’t callin’ ye a wanderer because ye were PHYSICALLY lost.” Evelyn nodded as she stuck out an accusing finger and prodded him in the chest a bit. “I’m not a wanderer because I bloody KNOW where I belong. But you…ye seem ta be stuck somewhere in between…” Evelyn told him biting her tongue a bit and looking him over. At least she had found her home. “The Pearl is ALL I know mate, its my home.” She stated plainly, in a way that was clearly indisputable. She shook her head and turned. “An’ don’ ye go bloody sayin’ I didn’ make an effort. I thought if I wasn’ worth ye takin’ a risk livin’ this sort of life than I really wasn’ worth havin’ ye…” Evelyn roared, flailing her arms about a bit. Eve sheathed her sword with a bit of difficulty, the rage had made her tremble a bit.
“An’ DON’T ye roll yer bloody eyes at me.” She commented as she stuck out her finger at him a bit. She nodded and then turned to head away again. Her eyes blinked in the darkness. “Bloody jungle…too bloody dark…” she muttered. She would be damned if he would roll her eyes at her like that. The nightmares boiled in her mind still and flashes of it appeared, but she fought them away. Her headache began to pound again and she shook her head. “And I DON’T understand why YOU’RE angry!” she barked over her shoulder at him as she fought her way through a whole tangle of vines. She was clearly not sure where she was going. Evelyn paused after fighting through the vines and then blinked around. “GAH! BLOODY CHRIST! Where in GOD’S green earth is that camp?!” she said with a gruff tone and crossed her arms.
Her head pounded and she blinked. Her vision was a bit blurry, probably the rage and head pounding combined created this…that and the extreme fatigue. But no matter…as she could stand she’d be fine. Evelyn was NEVER one to cower away from an argument and fainting was not an option for her at the moment.
From deep within her heart ached and she longed to simply get over this but she couldn’t…she was Evelyn Pearl, she wasn’t about to give in. Her eyes turned to Eric, pondering whether to ask and REALLY not wanting to. She wasn’t sure where the camp was in all the darkness and her blurry vision and all. A sharp growl sounded then…and Evelyn jumped…she narrowed her eyes trying to make out what was coming but was unable to…all she knew as a shadow crept past and her hand went to her blade.

::Jack nodded, closed his eyes for a long while. Thinking, just thinking.....must...keep a clear head....wasn't easy as Tobbs continued to kiss him....just how on earth had they gone from yelling at each other and threatening one another with swords to this?::
::One look at Tobbs told him he'd have to be the one to calm things down, as she clearly wasn't going to on her own. He sat up for starters then hugged her close. Felt nice having her there.....right Jack think mate...think.....::
"Right then...come on luv, gotta make it to camp....." He stood up slowly, wobbling a bit, and helped her up. He looked at her once, as if awaiting her to just tackle him again, but she didn't. It was a good sign.::
::learn to swim before you dive. Jack held onto her a few moments longer then pulled away:: "Right...then....lets get to camp...." He could see the fires in the distance. alright then. just watch the fires, get to the fires. They'd gain their sanity there. The crew wouldn't like Tobbs and Jack rolling around camp. Might even make a few of them seasick.or jungle sick...or whatever....::
::He walked towards them, and finally they were just at the shadws around the border of the camp. Jack noted some of the crew were gone.....maybe out looking for food? He yawned once and then cracked his neck. Tobbs tackled hard.::
::He turned to look at her, kissed her chastely on the cheek and smiled: "Right then....do we have an accord?"

*Eric stopped instantly as she spun around and faced him. His face was grave and his dark eyes flickered with a wild fire. They narrowed at her explination of a wanderer.* I wouldn't be stuck somewhere in between if it weren't for you. I just... when I first came on the Pearl I never expected for US to happen. And now here we are again....I think....and you're right I guess. At the moment I don't know where I belong. *He stated in a surprsingly soft tone, despite the fact that he was still boiling with anger and frustration, not to mention utter confusion.
His eyes never left her as she continued to yell at him. He thrust his fists in his pockets and paced around a bit, kicking rocks here and there until finally he stopped, turned, and looked at her.* And obviously I didn't mean enough to you for you to manner up and live a life on land. Why do I have to be the one to change? Just because I don't know where I fit doesn't mean it's easier for me to conform to a life like this. *He snapped. He glarred at her as she thrust her finger in his face.* I don't know why in the hell you feel you have to be so bitter all the time. *He called to her as she started to walk off again.
His brow raised as she pondered why he was angry and he let out a laugh of annoyance.* You want to know why I'm angry? *He asked, storming up to her, surprised it hadn't been more obvious.* I'm angry because you won't tell me a damn thing about your past. I know it's hard for you to tell but I don't understand why you won't tell me. And I'm angry because I want to love you Evelyn but now I'm starting to doubt if I can. I can't keep doing this all the time and I can't love someone who won't let me in on what's going on with them. *He shouted and then rubbed his hands over his face as she was obviously lost.* Bleedin Christ. *He hissed, realizing he didn't know the direction of it either. Whether it was because of the dark or because his mind was clouded out of anger and frustation he didnt know. Maybe it was both.
He stopped and began to glance about, trying to remember the way and of course being a guy didn't exactly want to state out loud he didn't know the way either. He couldn't help but grin as Evelyn jumped at the sound of a growl, but his smile swiftly faded as he saw the shadow flit past them. His eyes went to his blade but instead he balled his fists. He wasn't exactly all that great with a sword, but if need be he'd use it if he had to.* Evelyn, come here. Stay close and just for the sake of safety, pretend you dont hate me right now alright. *He stated, inching towards her.*

Post by Evelyn on Sept 17, 2004 1:25:46 GMT -5
Evelyn rolled her eyes but stared off into the bleak darkness. She muttered consistantly and then she heard his words and she breathed in sharply. Didn't know if he could love her? Evelyn tightened her grip about the handle of her blade. It seemed as if the world was slowly shattering on her. "Bitter? BITTER!?" Evelyn barked into the night, causing a few critters to stir. "Oh yer bloody FULL of it! I've been rather pleasant I would say...an', an'..." Her eyes stung again and she shook her head. "GAH! Ye know what? FINE...why TRY since ye doubt ye can..." Evelyn growled as she stepped towards him.
Her eyes were on pure fire, but behind them she was hurt. Hurt beyond all measure and she felt suddenly weak. "I, I,..." Eve was stuttering now and she blinked back a few tears and looked away from him. "An' keep doing WHAT?! I haven' been pissin' and moanin' 'bout you...if I remember correctly...YOU followed me here. I can deal with it on my bloody own..." She muttered as she turned away from him.
She stepped away and a tear fell which she quickly brushed away. It felt as if all the air in her had been sucked out and she was struggling to breath. Had he really meant what he said? When he approached her and inched his way towards her Evelyn sheathed her sword and shook her head. "Fine...ye wanna hear my bloody sob story? Ye want the DETAILS on what happened? Right then..." she didn't turn to face him, only stared into the darkness, a tear falling but she wiped it away quickly.
"I was 18, the Captain and his crew had taken over some sort o' island, not sure which one really...anyway...as a 'prize' his First Mate got what he wanted. Now, the man had been eyein' me fer some time, mind you, but to have picked me..." Evelyn sighed and shook her head. "I remeber being tossed into a dark room, with but a shirt to cover me, dirty sheets on the bed...an', an' then...hands." Evelyn closed her eyes a bit.
"There was a bottle of rum...he had hit me over the head with it, I remember because when I woke up, the blood trickled still from my forehead, but he didn't seem to mind because he kept close. I crept away from him, God..." Evelyn rolled her eyes and flailed her arms a bit. "How I HATED myself. Was ashamed really...because I couldn't help myself. Because I had allowed it to happen." She muttered angrily at herself.
"I picked up a shard of glass..." Evelyn then paused a bit, letting the words all sink in a bit. It was difficult for her to say but she decided she might as well get it all out now. So with that she turned and looked to him. Her hair a mess, her eyes glimmering with tears that begged to be allowed to fall, and a nose reddened from her sniffling. "An' I killed him...in cold blood. He had taken my bloody innocence...something I prided...something I once thought would never be taken..." Evelyn shook her head.
"Soon after the Captain came in, found me, and well...let's just say it wasn't pleasant for me for the following days." She shook her head at him and then blinked, her eyes narrow. "THERE! Ye happy!?" She asked him lifting her arms out and shaking her head. "IS THAT what ye wanted? Ta hear my sappy tale, ta know my life was hell aboard that ship, ta know that every so often I was in someone ELSE's bed...is that it? Well...here it is!" Evelyn gave a turn.
"Here's Evy...the bloody WENCH of the Devil's Wrath...are ye happy now?!" Eve's voice was a soft growl now and a tear fell but she wiped it away. "I hope ye ENJOYED this insight to my life..." Evelyn's tone was dripping with sarcasm and really. "I'm sorry ye can' love me mate...guess 'm just not good enough...as usual..." Eve ended and she turned away from him.
There were no tears now, but her eyes were red and she breathed heavily. "but you can TAKE yer bloody sympathies with ye mate...I don' wan' 'em..." she hissed back at him, still deeply hurt and knowing tonight would most likely be her downfall should Eric decide to leave her side. It had all come pouring out...a giant tidal wave, and now there was no stopping the flood of memories...they paraded back into her mind and she closed her eyes, hoping they wouldn't take her into blackness once more...
