*Tobbs flew threw the jungle quickly, but to no avail could she find Jack. Her nerves blocked her senses, she couldnt tell where he had gone. And this frightened her. Frightened her like mad.*
*Suddenly, she heard a heated voice of a lady. Furrowing her brows, she turned in that direction, determination setting inside her. She clenched her fists and dashed forward.*
*Stopping quite suddenly, almost to a point of losing balance, she absorbed those around ehr and the scene. Will had arrived, standing beside Jack with his sword drawn, and there was a lady there who seemed pretty angry about the whole thing. Another man, whom was Avery, and reminded her alot about someone on the crew, was set to start fighting. And, her gaze rested on someone leaning on a tree, who looked oddly familiar, but he seemed a smaller threat being injured. She dismissed everything and her attention struck Jack. And at the sign of his blood, she gasped. He was injured. Really injured.*
*Making her presence known by crying out to Jack, she rushed to his side, not caring to draw any form of weapon just yet, making sure not to distract his attention from those who fought against him as she herself watched the enemies out of the corner of her eye.*
*She studied the wounds and furrowed ehr brows. He was losing blood fast. She glanced to Will, knowing full well he could be holding Jack's life in his hands with ehr if they didn't defend him enough from the opposing side. Then, anger builting up in her, to a point of pure hatred, she spoke, holding back fury with an agitated voice.*
"Jack...who did this to you?"
*And she couldn't take it anymore. Glaring at the three on the enemy's crew, she nearly screamed in their faces.*
"WHO DID THIS TO HIM?!"
*A laughter, oddly calm but mocking, filled her ears and she turned to the one who made it. It was the stranger, the one who seemed to be in bad shape. He was standing beside Selina, determined not to give up to some wounds, eying her with a hatred she knew not what for.*
"Well finally my eyes can behold Miss Topsword. I can't wait to finish you off, watch the sweet shadow of death blow out the flames in your eyes. Examining my work, are you?"
*He was pointing to Jack. She ahd no idea whom the man was, nor did she care. HE had been the one to do this to Jack. Her captain. HE was going to pay.*
*Digging her fingernails into her palm, she never drew ehr eyes from his. And, in a second, she gave a growlish scream and flung herself forward on Michael, causing him to lose his balance and fall flat on the ground. Beating into his side where he was wounded and pouncing on him altogether, she clawed her way at his wounded shoulder, feeding off of knowing his pain.*
"YOU BLOODY BILGE RAT! I'LL MURDER YE FOR THIS!"

::Barbossa started off toward the trees, not waiting for the rest of his crew to catch up. If he could at least scout out a good place for camp, they could get some rest before Evelyn led them onwards toward the City of Gold::
::He smirked suddenly. Evelyn... he had nearly forgotten about her in the year since he'd last seen her, but she was just as beautiful and fiesty as he remembered. For weeks after he'd seen her aboard the Black Pearl all that time ago, he hadn't been able to get her out of his mind. Now the same thing was happening again. It was as though she had some kind of power over him, haunting him, tormenting him. Yet the worst part was, he didn't know whether he wanted to kill her, or make her his... He supposed he could have both. Being a pirate, after all, meant taking what you wanted when you wanted it, then tossing it aside when you were through. He would make Evelyn his next treasure.... And he'd make sure that once he was through, no one would else would ever want her again.....::
::Barbossa was suddenly ripped from his dark thoughts by sounds of a skirmish up ahead. Drawing his pistol slowly, he crept closer toward the clearing, preparing to fire if need be. As he peered around one of the trees, however, he stopped, frozen to the spot::
::Carver and Avery, blades drawn, were pairing up against none other than Barbossa's archnemesis, Jack Sparrow himself! It took a moment for the situation to completely register with the pirate captain, but once he came to his senses, he wasted no time in stopping the fight. Pistol pointed directly at Jack, he grinned maniacally::
"Avery, Carver, stand down. No need ta spill anymore blood tanight." ::He waited a moment for the two to back away before he closed in on Sparrow:: "Drop yer weapon, Jack...."

::Jack laughed feebly when Will arrived and smiled at him::
"Could have done with havin' ye here a few minutes sooner...." His face was a bit pale but he smiled all the same. Will was here. He'd be alright.::
::Then Tobbs came flying out of thin air looking for all the world like a avenging angel. He winced when she touched him and didn't respond to her when she asked who had hurt him. She'd just get mad::
::Then Michael spoke and Tobbs was on him in about half a heartbeat. Jack blinked, stunned and looked to Will:: "Ye know maybe we should just sit back and watch....she seems to have everything under control....."
::He frowned though, trying to keep his balence and he did. Barely but he did. He made a dive for Tobbs, pulling her off Michael. but only so he could have a go at the man, and landed a few solid punches in, wreastling away a knife....and loosing blood at a terrific rate of speed in the process::
::and there was Barbossa. Jack glared and stood up....and motioned for Tobbs to back away and Will. He turned to face Barbossa now..but he never dropped his sword......::
"Well well...look who finally showed up...." Jack grinned darkly. "Where's Evelyn?"#nosmileys#nosmileys#nosmileys

Mark sat around for a bit until Eric arrived. He looked like Hell chewed him up and spat him back out. He knew how the poor chap felt, for he had the hell beaten out of him more than once......he felt like not to long ago....
"Poor buggar. To bad I didn't have anyone shooting at me when I was down and out...."
Mark said to himself. He looked up at Will as he came over. He was informed that it was time to move out. To him it seemed like they would never find that damned city of gold...and besides how the hell were they gonna get that gold out of there....and what if people were living there. He didn't think they would like it to much if a bunch of people just came in and wiped them clean. He walked over to Will.
"Do you really think we will ever find this "City of Gold." and if we do.....what if there are people living there mate? Do you really think they would just look at us and say: "take all the gold you want...." Nah.....I don't think so mate.....If you ask me this is a wasted trip....If there isn't anyone living in it.....you know we'll have to fight Barbossa to gain control of the city, and at this point it seems like the odds are in his favor. Eric wouldn't be able to fight, now I beleive I could....I am feeling much better.....but think about it mate.....we may loose some good people for that city if it comes to a battle..."
Mark said. He didn't like the situation at all. He didn't want to die over a city of gold....sure he could use the money....he had an elderly mother to care for, a shop to run, and an employee to pay. But he didn't feel the price to be paid would be worth it.....for down in his heart be knew they would have to fight for that city, and he didn't feel he would make it out alive. His luck ended in that village....when he was left to die....and now he figured Eric's luck was gone too. He didn't know what to do.....stay or go on......in the end he chose to go on. If he had to die he wanted to go down in a blaze of glory.......Will listened to him curiously as he brought up a pretty good point. He shrugged a little and glanced in Marks direction.
I'm sure there are people living there. If there was a cannibal village odds are there will be people in the City of Gold. And we probably will have to fight Barbossa and his crew but we've taken them pleanty of times before. *Will grinned.[/color] Mark nodded and watched as Will then took off into the jungle and he sighed heavily, looking around at the crew that was still around Eric.*[/i]

*Wills attention was torn away from Selina, who he had seen a year before, when a wildly deranged Tobbs came bursting out of the trees and sprinted up to Jack. He blinked as he watched her pound Michael to all Hell and slowly he looked over at Jack.* It looks like she does. *He said, watching her curiously.
He'd hate to ever get on her bad side, that was for sure. He snickered a little and nudged Jack.* Let this be proof that you better never make any wrong choices when she asks you a question. *He grunted and in a flash the man was pulling Tobbs off Michael while getting in a few good punches himself. Will spun around with his sword pointed in front of him, watching as Barbossa aimed a pistol in the Captains direction. His jaw clenched as Jack rose to face the man. Wills eyes narrowed as he asked about Evelyn. He assumed that since Barbossa had yet to arrive to the Golden City that Evy was probably still alive somewhere.*

::Barbossa sneered down at Jack, pressing the barrel of his pistol to the other man's forehead:: "Jack, Jack, Jack... not even a 'hello' fer ol' times sakes? Where be yer manners, me ol' friend?" ::A crooked smile twisted its way across Barbossa's face as he examined Jack's wounds. They didn't look fatal as of yet, but if untreated.....::
"Ye know, Jack, I hate ta cut this meetin' short... but as I'm sure you're well aware I have meself a Gold City ta find. Too bad I won' be seein' ye again. I'll miss ye, Sparrow." ::Barbossa took a step backaiming the pistol at Jack's face. Then, just as he was about to pull the trigger, he jerked the barrel a few inches to the left and fired. Jack fell over with the force of the blow, and Barbossa smirked. He glanced over at Tobbs and Will::
"Selina, Avery, take care o' these two, will ye?"
::With that, he took off back toward the encampment, where the others were waiting...::

Evelyn glared at Luis, wanting to let loose all the curses that lay in her rather limited vocabulary but then she heard the scramble getting rather close and she jerked her head off to the distance. She heard blasts, and she breathed heavily. "Jack..." she thought silently. He was her only hope now, or so she thought. With that, Evelyn lashed out and kicked Luis with her good ankle in the stomach, causing him to fall backwards. Evelyn struggled and attempted valiantly to crawl away, but her ankle then hit the ground and she yelped in pain again.
The bone still purtruded and she looked down to it, cursing herself and attempting to drag herself along. She was not one to give up and she would be damned if something as small as a broken ankle would stop her.
Luis lost his air and was knocked back then. He rolled on the floor and looked up to Evelyn quickly. "NO!" he growled and then pouned on her, pulling her back to him by clutching her hair tightly. "You are NOT getting away that easily." he told her with narrowing eyes. His eyes then shot up, something was coming close, too close. Looking about frantically, Luis found a few stones and some rather large foliage. "GET UP!" he commanded Evelyn and lifted her from the ground slightly, dragging her towards the foliage.
Evelyn struggled in his arms and he grew frustrated, she was becoming almost too much trouble. With that, he tossed Evelyn into the foliage and leapt on top of her, pinning her entire body down. His face was merely inches from hers and he sneered. "I don't eve need to ask you to keep quiet, do I?" he laughed lightly as he eyed the cloth in her mouth.
Evelyn thrashed about a bit, but Luis weight was too much for her and she remained pinned. Instead, Evelyn strained to hear for something, ANYTHING, that could give her any hope...at this point, hope was all that was keeping Evelyn going...

::Jack's eyes widened just slightly....not good..definatly not good....::
::He registered the shot...the burning pain...his body was a graceful arch as he fell back..the sword dropped from his hand....and then he was lying face up on the ground. to say it hurt would be a understatement::
::It burned. pain exploded up and down his shoulder. Jack blinked and grabbed at the wound, and jerked his hand away. It hurt. Really hurt....::
::He looked up to Will and Tobbs then Avery, Michael and Selina....no..no..not his friends....not here..::
"NO!" Jack cried once. "Don't ye dare touch them...." He struggled to sit up and fumbled for his sword. He held it shaking....he would throw it too..at anyone who came near his friends....::
::somehow...in his anger he steadied his arm enough to throw.....:: "Ye'll be eating steel if ye touch them..." Jack cried.: "I won't miss....follow yer captain and leave!" he warned them::#nosmileys

Post by Eric Jackson on Sept 20, 2004 23:51:12 GMT -5
*Eric eyed those around him for a long moment and then sighed heavily, hanging his head. He knew they would never bring him along with them in his condition. Odds were he would just slow them down or distract them when they were in a serious fight. Letting his head hang a moment longer he shrugged a little.* I'll just go wait back at the Pearl. I know the way, no one needs to come with me. *He said in a dissapointed tone, glancing up and looking around at each of them.
He forced a half hearted smile and slowly but surely turned and left the group, walking in the direction of the Pearl until he was out of site of the others. Then he carefully turned and diverted his path so that it lead in the direction where the pirates had taken off with Evelyn. He searched desperatly for her, his heart pounding the whole while. His greatest fear now was loosing her and never seeing her again. An emptiness had settled in the pit of his stomach and now she was all he could think about.
He was obviously worried about Jack and the others as well, but he had come on this trip with Evy and he'd be damned if he was going to leave without her. Finally he reached an area where Barbossa and his crew had been not too long ago and he searched about the site frantically.* Evelyn? Evelyn are you here? *He called out as loud as he dared to, not wanting to lure in unwanted attention. He prayed with all that he had that she was nearby.*

*Tobbs kept kicking and fighting and sturggling to get out of Jack's arms and back to beating Michael to a pulp for what he said and had done to Jack. But she gave up, knowing she shouldnt strain the captain any...he was badly hurt.*
*And then Barbossa arrived. She gasped. So THESE were the crew members of his? She gasped. Gasped again when she saw the pistol drawn. She edged closer and clsoer to Jack, telling ehrself she couldn't let the captian get in any more harm. She'd give her own life for him if she had too.*
*But it was too late. The gun went off and she jumped as if it had been the cold clammy grasp of a dead man's arm clinging about her heart. She was terrified to move.*
*And then reality zoomed up with ehr and she screamed, screamed loudly, desperately, frantically, in panic. She screamed so loud the jungles could be echoing. Sinking to her knees beside him, tears began to swell up in her eyes.*
*Not caring about the orders Barbossa left, or how many people were there to harm them, she was onto trying to stop the bleeding again. She sniffled slightly and tightened the cloth she'd ripped off around the gun shot wound, admiring Jack's braveness, but pleadingly looking at him and whispering.*
"Don't move Jack. For the sake of the crew at least, for me, don't move. Yer losin....too much blood. Don' move...."
*She was choking back tears here. She begged him with ehr eyes to be still, and prayed that the other crew members heard her desperate scream at least to signal where they were. They needed them. She wouldn't leave Jack.*
*Brushign her hand up on his cheek, she stood up quickly and glared furiously at Selina and Avery. Michael was sitting against a tree, bandaging himself nonchalantly and up enough, and she watched as Barbossa left. She would've pounced upon him in an instant if the other two crew members weren't blocking his way. But no matter. She was in full rampage mode again. Tobbs, was angry.*
*Side glancing at Will, she squeezed ehr hands into fists until they enarly turned red. She'd take Selina. Selina was attached to this Michael. Selina would pay. And so, without further ado, she released her line of fire and started the most ferocious cat fight in the history of histories.*
*Tackling seemed to be growing a habit. Because thats what she did. Even if she was ordered to stop, she wouldn't budge from her clawing and pulling and tearing position over Selina. She was furious, enraged, and it was payback time for Jack. She would jump away in an instant if Jack called for aid, and she kept him in the corner of ehr eye enough to watch any trouble. But other than that, she was devoted to making Selina suffer.*

Evelyn breathed in hard as suddenly the footsteps grew near. Her eyes shot up and forward. Through the thick she could see boots, Evelyn knew enough about Eric to know they were his. There was a certain odd stain near the toe area and Evelyn struggled. She attempted to push Luis from her but he wouldn't budge, and the pain in her ankle prompted her to stop.
A tear fell down her cheek as she attempted to thrash but then her eyes fell upon Eric. Through the holes in the bush she could see him, he didn't look too well and Evelyn cursed the others for harming him. They would pay...ALL of them would...
She could only lock her honeyed eyes onto him and was satisfied. He was alive. That was all that mattered to her. It was all that she needed. It didn't matter what they did to her now. They could kill her for all she cared, as long as they didn't touch him. Evelyn's eyes were, for once, peaceful. Her heart leaped and if she could, she would be beaming at the moment, just relishing in this ONE moment with him was enough, even if he didn't know she was there.
Her heart went out to him and she closed her eyes, as if wishing to channel her thoughts to his. She loved him, simply, and plainly. With all that she was, and all that she would be...that was that. It was at this moment Eve had a revelation...if she EVER got out of this alive, she wouldn't hold back with him EVER again. She would be his completely...there was no doubt about it now...
To die now, wouldn't anger her so much because she had finally truly been happy...even if for a brief moment...

::Tobbs lunged and Jack acted as best as he could. Using all his will power he had he snapped his amr forward and let loose his sword::
::The blade sliced the air as it flew towards Michael and embedded itself in his hand and the tree he was standing by. And blade tore through his hand and into the tree trunk, effectivly pinning him::
::The man howled in pain and rage and Jack smiled:: "That'll be CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow to you mate." Jack stated soberly. And with that little ounce of energy fell over bleeding quite freely::

The red-head stood prepared to lash out in revenge for the small wound he had recieved on his arm, but before he could even move an inch Selina had burst into the clearing. He stood back as she moved to meet Sparrow. His eyes drifted towards Michael who was against the tree still, attempting to bind his wounds.
Suddenly there was another man at Sparrow's side. Ry's attention returned to the fight and he quickly shifted his knife in his hand silently preparing to meet the new man. Before he could even do that a second member of Sparrow's crew burst through the tree line. This one was a woman and she quickly went to the Captain's side inspecting him before she tackled Michael for something stupid he said.
He shook his head as his own Captain made his way into the clearing. He was beginning to wonder where these people kept coming from. There was only so much jungle and eventually no one would be left to show up. He wouldn't be surprised if his own sister had shown up!
A shot was fired and orders were given. Then his Captain was gone and it was just Michael, Selina, and him against the other three. The woman, Topsword she had been called, was on Selina with a vengence and Jack had pinned Michael's hand to the tree with his sword. That left the last man to him.
He stepped forward cursing quietly. He needed to get this done with, he needed to get back and check on Evelyn. He didn't trust the damned Spaniard with her. He had promised to watch out for her, but he couldn't. Growling more to himself than at Will, he sprang forward preparing to engage the man.
A distant thought, registered that Sparrow's crew kept giving him odd looks of recognition.

Selina watched it all occur in a blur. Out of nowhere it seemed, a woman with long golden locks had lunged upon Michael. Selina growled and made haste towards her but just as soon as the woman has lunged on him, she turned on her. Selina's eyes narrowed and flashbacks of Evelyn came into her mind. Evellyn had put up a brilliant fight indeed and this would seemed would do no less. "Topsword Tobbs is it? So finally...I meet the wench that tamed the Sparrow I suppose..." Selina smirked slyly at her, but soon the woman had pounced on her and Selina was caught off gaurd.
In a flash they were upon the ground, wrestling wildly, frantically, and clawing. She felt a burst of pain as Tobbs' hand seemingly made contact with her lips and she growled. Her green eyes looked up at Tobbs and as the blood accumulated in her mouth she spat out, smacking Tobbs hard upside the head and flinging her off by using her legs, making a spring of sorts and tossing her off. She gave a short laugh as she saw Tobbs, with blood on her face and a deep scratch on the side of her face. "You DO NOT touch Michael!" She screamed and lunged upon her. The two women grappled and Selina got her due, all she knew was the feeling of crimson liquid upon her skin and aches were building everwhere.
As Jack suddenly tossed a sword towards Michael and she watched with frightened green eyes. "Michael NO!" She screamed, but with that slight distraction another blow came to her head and she blinked. Selina was becoming rather dizzy and the whole world spun. Then, digging into her sash, she discreetly pulled out a dagger amidst the brawl and finally plunged the dagger into Tobbs arm, instantly stalling it from hitting her any longer.
Selina then shoved her off violently and half crawled, half scrambled towards Michael. Her face was a mess, blood seeped from her head, lips, nose, and bruises were already becoming eminant. Her eyes turned to Tobbs. "You are the bloody DIABLO HIMSELF! Me OIGAS?" she screamed at her in her native tongue and then returned to looking Michael over. She was dizzy, and she deemed she had recieved the worse of the blows, but at least she hadn't gotten stabbed.
"Michael, are, are you alright? Ay Dios mio..." Selina said gently as she looked him over and the blade that stuck him to the tree. "I must get you out of this." Her eyes were gentle and somewhat sorry as they turned to meet his. With that, Selina wiped some of the trickling blood from her brow, inched her way towards him, and placed her face inches from his. "Now...this might hurt just a..." Selina then pressed her lips firmly to his and with her right hand yanked at the blade that pinned Michael to the tree as quickly and cleanly as possible.
With a glance to his hand she quickly wrapped it in a bit of her sash tightly. "We must leave...we cannot win this. There are perhaps more on their way..." Selina stared around at those already gathered and it was clear they were outnumbered. "We shall live to fight another day." She stated as she embraced him tightly and then urged him to follow her. She did not dare look back at Tobbs, or say a word, she only shot ONE hard glance her way, knowing they would meet again...
But for now...there were other she could etch her revenge on, and as Evelyn's helpless, frightened features reached her mind, she smiled.......

::Jack watched Selina and Michael retreat with a dark smile. Then he turned a bit onto his side and glanced at Tobbs worriedly. Will was the only one on his feet right now and Jack was hoping he could fight::
::But Tobbs...he was worried about her.:: "Tobbs?" He called to her. "Tobbs...are you all right?" Bloody hell being shot really hurt.::
::He angled himself for a better veiw of Will and Avery. He knew he might not be able to fight but he'd be damned if he wouldn't watch his friend's back::
