Of Goldren Dreams and Vengeful Deeds. Part Twelve

[Jack Sparrow]

A year has passed since the events concerning the gods of Greece. Since then Jack and the crew’s lives had been quite uneventful, well as uneventful as a pirate life can get that is. With a few new crew members, Jack has sailed his crew to hell and back, pillaging, plundering, and gaining quite the notorious reputation. However, one not so scheduled trip to England, and to Evelyn’s home town, has brought about a new treasure to seek, a new endeavor, and possibly the next great adventure for Jack Sparrow and those aboard the Black Pearl.

A map has been found, once believed to be lost to the infernos of a previous pirate raid. A map revealing the location of a treasure TOO good to pass up, despite the warnings of a curse within it, an entire city of gold is a bit hard to pass up. With the map both in Evelyn’s trusted memory, and in Jack’s hand his crew are ready to go to hell, quite literally, and back for a piece of this city of gold.

Meanwhile, Barbossa hasn’t missed a beat, and although he was beaten to the ultimate relic last time, this time it is HE who has the upper hand. Although Jack and crew know about the treasure, they remain oblivious to the true power resting there, the Dagger of Curunin, an ancient dagger that posses the power to send those it kills to the Underworld, a hellish purgatory until the ending of the world. Barbossa’s thirst for vengeance is all but insatiable, and it is for THIS reason Bossa also makes for Central America, hoping through simply wandering about he too can find this city of Gold and the dagger which would finally give Jack Sparrow his due.

When Barbossa finds Jack Sparrow also in the jungles however and learns of Evelyn’s knowledge as to the location of the gold he concocts an evil plan that would not only give him the way to the City of Gold, but also an edge in the never ending battle between Barbossa’s crew and Jack’s. It’s a scramble and tangle to riches and relics…with not only eachother to compete with, but also the jungles themselves who also have threats within them that neither crew has even begun to prepare for…

Current Going ons...
Lots of personal emotions and couple spats. Fun stuff....Jack's been shot. Eric's been beaten bloody...Tobbs has been stabbitied...Evy's kidnapped, we finally found Fishy..and Barbossa's running amoke someplace. WOOT LOL. fun stuff....lets keep going

[LilyBelle]

Lily had torn through the forest in search of Jack and Will. But if anything had happened to Jack she had a feeling Tobbs would take care of it.

She reached the scene in time to find Michael and Selina leaving. Jack looked beat up and Tobbs was stabbed. Will was standing still. Avery was the only one left. Silently she drew a throwing dagger and readied herself.

Then she moved towards Will, ready to back him up. "You're outnumbered." Lily said to Avery. "Leave."

[Roux]

Roux helped patch up Eric, finished when Eric said he'd be alright and frowned when the man suggested going back to the ship.

"Eric, that's a three day hike." He frowned guessing he was only looking for Evy without them. So Roux noted his direction and vowed to look for him in a few hours, when things had settled a bit.

Then he looked at the others. "Come on. Let's go find Jack, Will and Tobbs."

[DianaMcBeth]

*Diana had smiled at Fishy and slowed her pace just a little* "Are you all right? I have some food with me, if you need anything."

*her voice was openly concerned.* "And water too. in fact here" *She opened her water flask and offerered it to him* "You look sort of unsteady, dont take that the wrong way." *she added thoughtfully* "Just don't want you feeling sick if I can help it."

[Will Turner]

*Will jumped startled and cried out in surprise and terror as he heard the gunshot go off and saw Jack jerk backwards. He glanced down at Jack but quickly jerked around, ready to go after the fleeing Barbossa when suddenly he realized Avery and Selina were waiting to take care of him and Tobbs. He glanced the two crooked pirates over quickly, figuring he could take them on easily enough.

A moment later he heard the Captains voice rise up behind him and he glanced over his shoulder. He smiled weakly at the fact the man would defend those he cared about to the death but he shook his head. If Jack kept up at this pace much longer, loosing as much blood as he was he'd most deffinantly not make it. He let Tobbs talk to him and kept his ground, his eyes just daring any of those left to come near them.

As she attacked Selina, Will smirked. That woman was in for one hell of a cat fight, Tobbs was a damn good fighter. In an instant the remaining man, Avery was on him and Will whipped his sword around, clashing it with the mans.* You're making a big mistake fighting me you know *Will hissed, not glancing at Lily as she came to his aid. He didn't want to loose sight of his enemy, that in itself could be a fatal move.* You'd best listen to her mate. *He said with a grin.*

[Avery Tolen]

Avery's face let his frustration show as he heard Michael and Selina leave. He could not be like them and leave the fight. He had been ordered by Barbossa to deal with the remain crew, but he couldn't do it on his own.

Suddenly a young woman's voice broke through his concentration and deep thought as he twisted away from the other man and brought his blade back down aiming for the man's arm. He faltered slightly and was easily blocked. He didn't look up, but their words quietly made their way into his heart.

With a small sigh he replied, "He'e o' back the'e. But bettah he'e. You'll have to take me fighting." With that he brought his sword up again, this time slashing the man across the chest. He had to choices, die fighting these people, or die for leaving against orders. This seemed like the better choice. "If ya would just die, I would leave!" he muttered. "I'm not asking foh much, mates." Suddenly he started laughing. He was going to die, but hell he was going to have fun doing it. With that, he brought his blade up and attempted to block a cut from Will's sword. He fumbled and was slashed across the arm again. He laughed harder.

[LilyBelle]

Lily's eyes narrowed and with a well aimed boot kicked Avery back from Will. It was just far enough to let Will move out of blade range. She stared at Avery. He looked familar.

It was the familiarty that made her pause. She looked at Will's wound and then to Avery, her dagger held ready to throw. But. She didn't want more injuries. It wouldn't do the crew any good. but Will, being Jack's best friend would have the final word.

"Yer call, Will." She said. "I can kill him now if you want."

[Jack Sparrow]

::Jack nearly cheered when Lily showed up. Good. That meant more of his crew was coming. Then Avery slashed at Will and he growled out::

"Ye'll be payin' for that, mate." He hissed, sitting up but unable to move much more then that. "On my word ye will..."

::Then Lily questioned Will on what to do and Jack waited. Will was the only one capable of fighting well right now. It would be his call.::

[Tasha Antipova]

Tasha looked up as Luis dragged Evelyn away. Tasha turned to talk to Barbossa, but realized he had gone. She cursed to herself and turned again to see where Evelyn and Luis had gone. They were no longer in sight and Tasha could've shot herself. How could she let most everyone get out of her sight? Tasha wandered a bit into the jungle and soon heard a skirmish happening nearby. She followed the noise and soon spotted Selina and Micheal leaving walking towards the campsite. Tasha ran up to them. Selina! Micheal! Where have you been? What happened?

I have to get Micheal back to the camp, but Avery's still in the clearing...fighting Jack's crew. Tasha should there for a second trying to take it all in. Hurry Tasha!

Tasha turned a ran to the noises and she could hear the noises coming closer and closer. She came to the clearing and saw Avery fighting Jack, Tobbs, and various other memebers of Jack's crew. Tasha slightly gasped and quickly grabbed her knife from her boot. She saw Lily getting ready to throw a knife at Avery. Tasha dropped her knife and grabbed her pistol, she wasn't sure if it had any bullets, but Lily didn't know that, right? Don't ye dare 'row 'at knife, or I'll shoot.

[Avery Tolen]

Avery was kicked away from Will and a dagger was aimed to be thrown at him. It only awaited a command from Will. Avery eyed the pirates in front of him. A small smile, a laugh at death was evident on his face. Only a small portion of him was scared. That small portion flashed pictures of his sister and brother and a new found woman in his mind.

It was then, as if called by his mind, that he heard her voice. He spun on his heals just to make sure that his mind was not causing him to imagine it. But there she was, standing with her pistol aimed at Lily.

His eyes hardened as the situation fully hit him. "Get out of here! Get back to the crew and stay with them!" he found himself shouting at her. "I can take care of myself, now go!"

For some reason he did not want to run the risk of this blue-eyed woman getting hurt in anyway. And he turned his back on her making it final; she was to go, he would stay. His eyes focused on the man again. He would face his enemies head on, he would not run or hide behind someome else. He had gotten himself into this mess, he would sit it through.

[Tasha Antipova]

Tasha glared at Avery. 'm not leavin' until ye do. Tasha shifted her arm a bit. She wanted to make sure Selina and Micheal weren't badly hurt, same with Evelyn. She would not leave till Avery left though. 'm a pirate too ye know. I can fight just like ye. Tasha was planning their escape already, they couldn't win, the odds were too great. Tasha hated to run away from a fight, but she hated to die more. She looked at Avery quickly. He was bloody, but still looked handsome, if not more so with the blood.

[Will Turner]

*Unfortunatley Will made an ultimately stupid choice in thinking that the man was going to actually surrender and leave to follow the rest of his crew once he realized he was outnumbered. But that obviously wasn't the case and in the blink of an eye his sword was raised and Will felt it slice across his chest. It was a burning pain and he cried out, swiftly glancing down at his now red shirt and he growled.* You little bastard. *He cried and whipped his sword around, slashing the man in the arm.

Will raised a brow as Avery laughed like a maniac but he continued the fight. He had to live, he couldn't die now and he wouldn't die now. He had too much to live for and he'd be damned if he'd leave Elizabeth on this earth alone. He quickly glanced at Lily and then back to Avery as the man was kicked back from him. Will stood there now with his sword raised in a defensive position.

Everyone was now putting this mans life in Wills hands and for a moment he actually faultered, didn't know what to do. The man had wounded him yes but there was a familiarity about him that kept him from allowing the man to be killed on the spot. His eyes darted to Tasha as she aimed a pistol at Lily and Will glared at her, but listened as she and Avery spoke. Finally he swallowed hard and shook his head.* Don't kill him. *He said, lowering his sword to show that he meant no further harm. His eyes locked on Avery and Tasha.* But if either of you hurt anyone on this crew so help me God you won't be so lucky next time. *He said in a low, firm tone.*

[Victoria Brighton]

*Catfights were so much fun, yet so much the opposite. Selina's words had sent her in a rage, well, to say the least it was the last straw of any fragment of control she had been preserving, so she was insanely furious. And she made the most of herrself; clawing, smacking, punching, biting, tearing, prodding, pulling, slapping, pushing, and glaring. That being the summary of what she was doing throughout the entire time.*

*But Selina was a good fighter too. She had some vengeful anger in her too over Michael apparently. And that aided her cause she guessed. So by the end of the fight, Tobbs had a deep scratch running along her face just snug against her right ear, and she could feel blood trickling by her brow. Her body ached, and she was rather tired, worn out from the fight. But nothing expected her for Selina's dagger being slammed into her arm, and she let herself be thrown a bit limply onto the ground.*

*Muttering at her words and cursing her for breathing, she clutched her arm and tried to regroup her thoughts and determination, dragging herself up to a sitting position. She felt lightheaded, and ehr head poundded, making her heart beat shake her entire body. Closing her eyes and taking a big breath, which stung her forming bruised side, she glanced abck to Selina and returned her harsh glare. She'd be sure to say hello next time the lady was seen.*

*Then, her mind slamming back to Jack when he called out ehr name, she shot her gaze over at him quickly, crawling over feebly and loosely dragging her wounded arm. She didn't care much about the dagger in it, but it hurt too much really to apply pressure since it happened to be the side her shoulder had eben previously wounded on by the cannibals. So frankly, she didn't care about it. She HAD to get to Jack.*

*By the time she was next to him, she was relieved to see Lily there beside Will. As they had their confrontations with this Avery man, she began to try stopping blood and bandaging things a bit more. That's where her clothes came in handy. She'd rolled up her sleeves since she'd ripped them up to help Jack when his side had injured, but now, she unraveled them and began tearing. She was glad she'd brought that extra set of clothes too. Any section of material that wasn't needed necessarily, she tore and turned into bandages and cloths, pressing them against Jack's wounds and cuts and scratches and wrapping them up as best she could.*

*Begging him again not to move too much, as he was already sitting up, she placed ehrself distinctly in front of him, so if anyone decided to throw something, shoot something, or fling themselves (oh come on, she isnt the only one who does that! *cough* well....then again...) at him, she'd be there to block the path. She didn't want to risk anything, so she continued carefully and gently but still with pressure to tend to his injuries as best she could. She wasnt the master healer, but she knew a thing or two on wounds.*

"Jack...just...just don' bloody move this time...savvy? please..."

*Not really wishing to argue with him at the moment, she was thrown into suprise when Tasha came forward, eying her pistol and thinking to ehrself on what to do. She watched Will's reaction and glanced at Lily again, hoping the two were safe...plotting to do anything to defend her captain and the two that protected ehr now.*

[Avery Tolen]

Avery listened silently, giving nothing away on his face, as Will gave him his life back. There was no thankfullness, there was no hate, it was blank. He was blank. The only thing that concerned him was the woman behind him, who had stubbornly refused to leave without him. His eyes stared at the faces full of hate and what looked like recognition as he spoke to the blue-eyed woman. "This isn't youh fight. Now get out of he'e. 'Bossa will have otheh jobs fo' you," he said calmly.

His eyes were locked with Will's. He was empty, but Will it seemed was full of emotion. It showed his love of his crew, and his hate for anyone against them. It showed his kindness and yet his cruelity. His concern for his friends and his worry for his wife. Avery measured all of the emotions and decided that he probably did not have a very good chance, but it was to be killed here or back with Barbossa for failing to fufill his orders.

After what seemed to be hours, he lunged forward his knife gripped in his good hand. His wounds were beginning to ache and send sharp pains up his arms at every movement, but he gritted his teeth and bore it.

[Eric Jackson]

*Eric searched the area until he grew dizzy and he leaned against a tree. He laid his head back against it and gazed up at the sky through the holes in the canopy. Taking in a deep breath he squeezed his eyes shut and now that he was alone, or at least he thought he was, he let his tears fall.

He slowly sat down on the ground and hung his head for a long moment. He had this horrible feeling in his gut that something bad had happened to her. He'd felt this kind of emptiness before but this time it was different. When Ashley had been killed he knew right away what happened to her. This time he had no idea what Evelyn was going through and if she was....dead....how much pain had she gone through?

Through clenched teeth he looked back up at the sky and he glarred.* Are you out to get me or something? You've taken from me every woman I've ever loved. *He hissed at God. Then he sighed and shook his head.* Well, I suppose its not really your fault. I was supposed to protect them, and I failed both times. *He said, wearily rising to his feet.

He didn't even want to go back to the crew, he didn't even want to go on. But something inside him told him he needed to and so with heavy feet he trudged off, in no particular direction. As he walked he heard raised voices up ahead and his brow furrowed. He recognized the unique voice of Jack and rushed as swiftly as he could (which was actually rather slowly) towards the noises.

He saw Jack sitting upon the ground, Lily holding daggers, Tobbs looking more then enraged, and Will who had just said to let the others go. Eric rolled his eyes at this. The man always did have too much damn heart that always seemed to work against him somehow. He reamined hidden however, glancing around carefully just incase he could see some sign of Evelyn. However when Will was stabbed by Avery Eric growled beneath his breath and was about to jump out into the clearing when he stopped himself.

Barbossa and his crew thought that he was dead and he figured it would help him in the long run if they continued thinking this. And so he stayed put.*
