*Will tried to read the mans face, his guestures but everything about him seemed blank and emotionless. Nothing could be read in Averys eyes and this greatly bothered Will. Suddenly the man lunged forward, and as quick as Will was it wasn't fast enough.
He grabbed the man but it was too late, he felt one of the knifes bore into his shoulder and he cried out, stumbling back and then falling onto the ground as he looked down at the knife in his shoulder. He grit his teeth and winced as he pulled it out.
Anger was surging through him now. He no longer felt mercy for this man, nor would he allow him to keep his life this time.* I changed my mind. *He said, rising to his feet.* Kill him. *He scowled, giving a nod to Lily and with the knife that he had been stuck with, he chucked it at Avery. He had good skill with accuratly chucking a knife in the direction he needed it to go, Jack knew of this first hand.*

Mark was suddenly alerted to a noise. There was a strange occurance not far from camp. He began to head out when Elizabeth pulled him aside and asked him if she could come along.
"You can come lass....but be VERY quiet...something is afoot."
He said drawing his pistol from his right holster. He pulled the hammer back and slowly moved into the forest. He could hear voices in the distance. They were of the crew. He spotte Eric and moved over to him. He kneeled down and observed.
"Ok lass stay here. Eric I am gonna go in there and see what is goin on. Look after the lady mate."
Mark leaped into the clearing and saw Will was wounded. Jack had been shot as well. ' Welcome to the club. ' he thought to himself. He moved over to Lilly and Tobbs and lifted his weapon to the perp.
"Nice work there mate. Unfortunately these were my friends. I don't take to mistreatment of friends lightly. Lemme teach ya a lesson."
Mark said as he pointed the gun at Avery. He smiled and pulled the trigger. The man fell to the ground. He shot him in the shoulder as a warning for he didn't want to kill him.
"Next time I'll aim right between your eyes....and trust me mate....I NEVER miss."
He said as he holstered his weapon. He moved over to Will and looked at the wound.
"He gottcha pretty good there mate. We need to get you and the Captain patched up..."
He said as he looked around. He didn't really have anything for this sort of thing, he wasn't a doctor by any means but he could dress a wound. Problem was he had nothing to do it with.
"Bloody 'ell. Do any of ya have anything for the wounds!?"
Mark yelled out. He looked down at the blue bandana around his wrist...he could use it. He pulled it off and tied it tightly around Will's wound. It was the best he could do for now.
"When we meet up with the others we'll see what else we can do...as for the Captain....I'm all out of dressings mate."
He said as he moved over to Jack. He figured he owed it to them to show them a little gratitude for them bringing him along. For the moment he left his anger for Jack behind. He sat next to him.
"What now?"

*Tobbs watched as Mark entered the clearing and jumped as he shot the weapon off. She didn't know why, but shots made her jumpy, especially since they were ihn this predicament.*
*Smiling at him weakly as he came over, she pointed out that she'd torn up as much cloths and materials of ehr own clothes that she could muster without being immodest for the time being..though frankly she didn't care; she just wanted to be able to stop the captain's bleeding, and now Will's.*
*She'd used most of it for the captain, so she was glad Will was able to be helped by Mark. She, being seated ehrself right by Jack, kept her ground as the other seated himself next to her, shifting her concentration back on Jack.*

Avery did not feel any satisfaction when his blade found flesh. In fact he felt nothing, only a tiny bit of sorrow at the loss of such a fine weapon. Only suddenly, he was to be killed and the knife was headed back at him aimed for his head. A hand shot out and grabbed the blade, stopping it in mid-air.
The man had been a theif, he had grown up a theif and as such learned to live by the blade. There had been no night where he did not sleep without a weapon. The knife and dagger had been his family's main weapon. He had slept each night with a knife under his pillow. He had fought for his food and keep with the knife almost daily. He knew it like the back of his palm. He was so skilled with a knife that he could catch it out of the air.
He allowed a small smile to grace his lips when his fist closed around the hilt, but it was only a momentary victory. Out of nowhere he had been shot. He was flung backwards by the force of the bullet as it ripped into his shoulder. For a moment he just stayed put, looking at the trees above him and the small patches of blue. But then he caught sight of the blue-eyed woman still standing in place, almost uncertain of what to do, her eyes fixated on him.
In a moment, he was on his feet again, ignoring the burning pain in his shoulder. He just ran towards the woman and grabbed her getting blood over her clothes. She was quickly, picked up and slung over his good shoulder. "I told you to go back," he said icily. "Won't you let a man die in piece?"
Ry turned back to the pirates from the Pearl. He caught Will's eye and quietly said, "Wondehful fight, mate. We'll have to finish it some otheh time." With that he turned and was off.
He jogged through the jungle as quickly as was possible. He was loosing blood faster than he could have thought possible and when he thought he would not be able to run anymore, he stopped and dropped Tasha on her feet in front of a tall tree.
The red-head placed his good arm against the tree next to Tasha, leaning his weight on it. He leaned in close to her, keeping his face meerly inches from hers. "What were you thinking? You could have gotten yourself killed?! In fact you're lucky that you didn't get yourself killed!" he shouted letting his anger and frustration out. "I told you to leave! I know you can bloody well fight, but we were out numbered!" he paused slightly to take a breath, "You could have DIED!" He could feel her breathe upon his cheek and his heart started beating faster. "I had things under control! You should have listened to me! If you were so keen on helping, why didn't you go back and get more of the crew?!"
He took a deep breath trying to calm himself. It only made his heart pound faster as he inhaled her scent. Their eyes were locked from the tirade he had just had, and he soon became lost in depths of blue. Before he knew what he was doing, he leaned in swiftly and his lips pressed against hers in a hard passionate kiss.
After a moment he broke away, pushing himself off of the tree as quickly as he could. The blood loss was starting to affect him and he was having problems moving. But he was confused, he didn't understand how she could affect him so when he did not even know her name.
He started walking, he wasn't even sure of where he was going. He just needed to walk, to sort things out. So he walked. He walked away from her.

*Will watched with wide eyes as Mark burst into the clearing to defend the crew. Frankly he was surprised by this, considering that he still felt betrayed about being left behind earlier. Suddenly Avery caught the knife Will chucked at him and Will blinked stunned. Had that really just happened?
In a moment there was the sound of a gunshot and Avery fell to the ground. Will glanced over and noticed that Mark had shot him and his brow raised, a satisfactory grin spread over his face.* Good job, Mark. *He said, lowering himself to his knees as he fingered the cut on his chest and the stab wound in his shoulder. Both felt like they were on fire, though the wound on his chest would heal quickly as it wasn't deep by any means. The stab wound however hurt like hell and would take some time.
He gave Mark a thankful smile as the man tied the bandanna around his shoulder to help stop the bleeding. He slapped the man on the shoulder and nodded.* Thanks. *He said simply and caught Averys eye. He glarred as the man spoke and took off. He shook his head, rolling his wounded shoulder a bit and then he looked back at Mark who had been the last person to see his wife.* Mark, where is Elizabeth? She's not alone is she? *He asked swiftly, fearing for her safety.*

Mark smiled at Will. He looked into the woods and signaled Elizabeth to come out.
"No worries mate she's right here. She came with me. I told her to wait cause I didn't want the lass to get hurt."
Mark said. He got up and made an inspection of his own wound. The damned larvae in it were gone now, thank all that is holy. They had cleaned the wound better than anything he could think of. He had nothin for a new bandage so he looked for a stream to wash the old one in. At last he found one. He cleaned the dressing and reaplied it. The pain was almost gone. He figured a piece of the pungi must have stayed behind to torment him. If he moved just right it stuck him. He returned to the clearing and sat under the shade of a tall tree and took a nap.

::Jack laughed feebly and looked over his crew that had shown up. Maybe shock was setting in, but he was actually chuckling to himself.::
"A fine fight...Mark...Will...Lily...Tobbs...." He smiled at them and closed his eyes a moment:: "Will everyone live?" He asked seriously. "No wounds yer going to die from?"
::They were all pretty bloody and torn up.....Jack felt frankly they looked worse then he felt. And he heard Will's concerns for Elizabeth::
"Mark, Lily...go back with Will...make sure Elizabeth's all right....savvy?"
::He didn't want anything to happen to Elizabeth or he felt Will might just die from grief....or anger...one of those.....:: "Go...we'll...catch up...."
::He hadn't moved from the spot where he sat, only eyed Tobbs a while with a sort of half dazed look. Finally he just swallowed once and closed his eyes again, too exhausted for the time being to move::
"Go get the others...an'...find Evelyn....Barbossa's out there....and....I can't walk right now...." Jack's voice grew thin, shallow and finally stopped. He'd passed out::#nosmileys

Lily screamed when the pistol went off. And she was ready had her knife aimed for Avery when he went sprinting back into the jungle. She blinked, threw her knife and it hit a tree instead of his back. Growling with anger she ran over to Will and first to check for wounds.
Then to Tobbs, who looked like she used half her clothes on Jack. Tearing her sash off she quickly wrapped up Tobbs's arm and then made sure the bleeding was slowing.
"You're lucky." She said worriedly. "Didn't hit anything bad. and you'll be able to use it too, once it heals." She gave the last tie a little tug and then looked around at the others. "Anyone need bandages. It looks like I'm the only one with some clothes still." She giggled a bit and looked around.

Jason was in the clearing a few minutes later. The pistol shots had worried him and he moved faster.
"Can't any of you go two minutes without bleeding?" He asked as he looked at the various wounds. "Honestly..all of ye are worse then Kalin!"
That said he got to work on whoever was still seeping blood. Will looked alright, and so did Tobbs. But Jack was still bleeding. He checked hte wounds, blinked at the gun shot wound and shook his head.
"Ye know up until now I thought Kalin was the most accident prone human being on earth. I stand corrected."

"HEY!" Kalin objected to Jason's comments. But he too was on his knees helping Tobbs now...and then moving away to help Will.
"Jason's right, yer both worse then me." He smiled faintly and went about his business of checking wounds. He wasn't a docter but he could guess a few things. He even brought out a flask of rum and offered it around.
Finally as Mark lay down to sleep, Kalin figured it looked like a good idea, and lay down next to him as well. "Wake me up when we all stop bleedin like stuck pigs, all right?" And Kalin, who had not slept in a few days went to sleep.

When pistols went off, Roux broke into a run. He came onto the scene of the bloody mess minutes later, and frowned. The captain was easily the worst off, but Will and Tobbs bore injuries as well.
The twins were helping them, and Roux offered the salve once more and appiled it to the wounds. his eyes glowing a soft gold he worked silently, asking no questions, because he knew all the answers already.
Finally as thre was not much any of them could do he pilled together a small bunch of branches, and started a fire. If anything the fire would sooth them, and if they needed hot water for cleaning wounds they would have it.

*Elizabeth had been worried. Really worried. She'd went after where they heard the gunshots, keeping Will's hand in hers, but she knew not what to do when he released his hold and elft her.*
*At first she tried to see what she could do for Eric. But he made a dash for the trees and was gone. And then, Lily and the others began running off into the trees. Seeing Mark, and sighing thankfully, she pulled him aside before he escaped to run off and find the crew.*
*Well, she trekked along silently behind Mark, and smiled when she saw Eric, but a shadow of disappointment came over her when the gunsmith told her to stay there. Stay there? Stay there?!*
*Glancing at Eric as Mark dashed off, she gave him a serious, concerned look to see how he was doing, then sighed and spoke solemnly to him, speaking ehr mind.*
"Stay here, he states. Stay here as my husband, the man I love, could POSSIBLY be in danger....I've been in the affairs of Captain Sparrow before, I'm not afraid. So whether you accompany me now or not Eric, I bid you be careful; I'd rather not risk you getting injured further, alright?"
*And with that, she entered the clearing, her eyes shifting to her husband immediately as she gasped at the sight of his injury. It seemed Mark was summoning her out anyways, so at elast she wouldnt have to argue.There were others too, Jack seemed in bad shape, and Tobbs wasn't looking as well either.*
*Immiediately going to his side as she cast Mark a look of stubborn pride, yet still thankfulness he'd tried to protect ehr, she went to Will's side and looked up to him worriedly.*
"Will...I....I couldn't stay behind...I just...it was simply...I just....oh!"
*And her last words simply being that of a loving declaration/a word that stated she gave up trying to explain herself, she hugged him with as much gentleness as she could so not to further harm his arm. *

*Tobbs smiled at Jack and watched him slowly pass out, sighing and shaking her head. She didn't draw her gaze off him, and was determined not to move.*
* And then, when Lily came over and began to help her with her arm, she winced a bit and clenched ehr fists, smiling up at her nonetheless and laughing at her remark about clothes.*
"Well...thanks mate, glad it's not bad....and what can I say? Jungle fever...bloody jungles...thats why I I'm a pirate....they stick to the seas....ya know, salty water, lots of blue, floating things fighting floating things...."
*So she was going on and on about the sea and floating things when Kalin was done helping ehr, continuing ehr random talking but bringing it down to a tone just above a whisper as she sat next to Jack.*
*Occasionally she glanced down at him, watching him as the fire cast glows on his face, then returning her gaze at the dancing flames.*

::When Jack woke up he kept his eyes closed. He could hear the crew moving around. He recognized their voices and their footfalls::
::And Tobbs was near him...rambling about something...and then she was silent. Jack twitched a bit and opened his eyes. He sighed and looked at her. She looked exhausted.::
"Yer the most stubborn lass I know." Jack stated frankly and edged closer to her, trying to find something solid to rest near. :: "Are ye alright?"

*Tobbs blinked a few times, startled by hearing Jack's voice as she'd been lost in thought, staring at the fire. Smiling over at him, she furrowed her brows as he began shifting towards her.*
"Oi Jack, you shouldn't move so much. Honestly, could start some bleeding, and then you'd lose more, and then we'd all-"
*Stopping mid sentence when she caught his knowing glance, she sighed a bit tiredly and edged in towards him so he wouldn't have to move so much.*
"Am I alrigh'? I'm fine...naught but a scratch, as always....not enough to rest over, 'ave to stay up and keep an eye on you."
*She had a hitn of teasing slipped in her voice as she turned more towards him. Rumaging through a pack someone had brought for her that she'd brought from the ship, she handed him a flask of rum to hold and pulled out the set of clothes she'd kept with her.*
"Ya see what you did? Tearin' up my clothes for you and those bloody injuries you got..."
*Of course it didn't matter much to her, but it was fun to play around with the fact that she looked like she'd been through a shredder and back clothes wise.*
