::Jack sighed and slumped aganist her, tired but all the same...he was Jack Sparrow.....::
"Aye...thank you..." He whispered softly and closed his eyes again, smiling to himself. Then he added in a voice that was barely audible. "Guess we'll have to wait for a more oppurtune moment, eh, luv?"
::He laughed and then smirked a bit. Yeah....he was bleeding and wounded. But he was Jack Sparrow. He turned and kissed her neck once, lingered there then drew away.:: Pity the crew's so near...." and he laughed again::

*Tobbs scooted down and lay next to him, her smile fading slowly and slowly as she wearily tried keeping her eyes open.*
* It was a difficult business doing so. But then it wasn't...so she was sitting there, trying to plan on if she could keep her eyes open by holding her eye lids open somehow, when those darn tingles began to rush in her.*
*Her smile formed back to its sly self when he spoke again on opportune moments...tempting her, was he? She'd hold back this time. All though judging from the last time this happened, she didn't really know what to expect.*
*And then the button pushing was going on. She closed her eyes as he lingered by her neck after kissing it, biting her lips rather hard to stop herself from anything, if that would even help.*
*Bloody and wounded, bloody and wounded, thats what she had to tell herself...oh but it wasnt working!*
"Bloody crew...always about them being there...."
*There was that impatience in her voice. She gazed over at him and laughed lightly, speaking matter of factly and with a plotting look in her eyes.*
"You know...I don' 'onestly know if I'll be able to trek through the jungle with my arms full of gold for an entire 3 or 4 days like we're doing with you luring me in like this....guess the residents of El Dorado will get more than they bargained for..."
*She let the thought roam through her own mind, as she purposed it to do so in his, brushing her hand up to his face again and caressing his neck. She might've been wounded, but that wouldn't hinder her from wanting to be with Jack...*

::Jack laughed and coughed suddenly....he tasted a bit of coppery salt in his mouth and frowned...he sighed then looked at Tobbs...::
"Yeah...damn the crew.." He said with a laugh, and then turned to look at them a good long while, admiring them for all their mishapes.....for all the dangers they had somehow stuck by him....saved his life.....they were a good crew.....the best crew ever.....::
::and by all that was Holy in Jack's mind....rum being at the top of that list....he'd make them all rich if it killed him....and get Evelyn back....they had to get Evelyn back.....::
::Shrugging out of his coat he fumbled with it a bit then draped it over Tobbs's shoulders and tucked his left arm around her waist:: "Thank ye. you an' Will saved my life and I won't forget it..." He said. "But...don't go gettin' yerself killed over me..."
::Jack smiled and blinked slowly, sleepily.:: "That's my job...get killed for you....or...so says tradition...or...someone says so..." Jack's rambling faded out a little and he leaned onto her:: "Ye sure yer alright?"

*Tobbs closed ehr eyes for a few seconds as Jack watched the crew, shivering a bit and plotting to slip into her other set of clothes when the morning came; would be easy if she wouldn't be sore.*
* But judging all that happened today, and the already aching feeling she had, she shrugged and accepted the fact that waking up wouldn't be as pleasant.*
*When he tucked his coat around ehr she snuggled up inside it and next to him, trying to push the chill out and get closer to the captain all at once. She listened to his words, fading slowly out, and she shook her head.*
"Yer welcome Jack...was the least I could do for all the times you saved my arse. But...well, was more than that too..."
*She noted his sleepy concern for her and she shrugged.*
"Eh, I'll be fine. Methinks we should be worrying abut you right now though.*
*She drew her hand away from his neck and began to play with one of his hands gently, slipping her hand in it, squeezing it, caresssing it, kissing it, just all around giving affection to his hand. She smiled at the thought of it and looked to him*
"You should get some rest....you've 'ad enough for the day...and too many temptations and you'll probably 'ave me to add on to you're troubles of the evening."
*She laughed softly and nodded assuringly to both herself and him.*

::Jack nodded slowly, tired and closed his eyes. In a rather uncommon gesture of affection he rested his chin on her forhead, tucked himself inwards towards her and sort of dozed off::
::Odd feeling someone close to him while he slept...all the same he kept a sword in his hand as he lay there, tired and for lack of a better word, feeling weak::
::A long time to rest and maybe some rum would do him good.....would work wonders....::
"Aye...go to sleep...." Jack mumbled into her hair. "I'll be...awake...a little while..." again his voice faded out, tired and just plain wanting to rest. His injuries felt better, now that they were covered and not bleeding so badly. He felt like he just might live::
"An'...we'll go out an' find Evelyn...." He whispered softly. "An'....I'll keep an' eye on you too...." He was slowly drifting off to sleep:: "Goodnight......love..you..." and he was breathing lightly, clearly asleep....::

Jason was still muttering angerily about everyone getting themselves wounded when Roux started the fire. He gave a nod of thanks and set to work dosing some clothes with water and hanging them high over the fire. The warmth would kill the germs in the water and when wrapped around a wound for a short time would kill infection.
He kept himself busy doing this silently, just focused on helping the crew.

laughing at his cousin kalin began to help him.
"we shouldn't have been pirates..." He said softly. Then he went over to Will and offered him a warm bandage. "Should help a bit." He said calmly. "Ye hurt anywhere else mate?"

Post by Captain Morgan Barbossa on Sept 22, 2004 16:25:07 GMT -5
::Barbossa made his way through the thick trees back toward the clearing where the rest of his crew was waiting. The confident grin he had worn when he shot Jack had faded, and had since been replaced with a worried frown. He was stupid for having left Jack alive... regardless of the severity of his wounds. If for some reason Selina, Michael, and Avery couldn't do their jobs, there was a chance Sparrow would survive. And come back for him::
::But then Barbossa smiled. HE had Evelyn, and she was the key to the Golden City. Without her, Jack would never be able to catch up.... Then no one would stand in his way to obtaining the Dagger of the gods::
::A moment later, he was out of the woods and standing in the nearly-empty clearing where his crew should have been. But....where was everyone? Suddenly, Luis began to crawl out from under a thick bush nearby, dragging a struggling Evy behind him::
"Captain! We can't stay here much longer.... They've started looking for HER." ::He tugged hard on Evy's hair to indicate who he was referring to::
::Barbossa nodded::[/i] "Aye. Methinks it be time ta look fer that city o' yers, Miss Pearl.... which way?" ::He grabbed her chin and stared down hard into her eyes, demanding an answer. Luis looked slightly taken aback::
"But Captain, what about the others?"
"They're.... expendable," ::Barbossa replied, his face betraying no emotion:: "Now I'll ask ye one last time... which way??"

Tasha turned quickly as a shot went off, hitting Avery in the shoulder. She saw a man standing there was dark hair. She aimed her gun at him, but Avery grabbed her before she had time to shoot. She growled at him. I could've 'ad 'im, why didn't ye let me just...
Tasha's complaints were drowned out by Avery's yelling. She tried to object a few times, but he kept going on. 'ill you just 'ut 'up? You could've gotten 'erself killed! Was 'ere time to get the 'est 'o the 'rew? No! You 'ere more outnumbered 'ithout 'e. Why are ye so stubborn? 'ook ye'r bloody all o'er an' ye think ye had it under control. Tasha took a second to control herself. She felt like kicking Avery, but knew he was in bad shape already and didn't want to be the death of him.
Suddenly Avery leaned in and kissed her. At first Tasha was stunned. She wasn't sure if he even knew her name. She then leaned a little into his lips, kissing him back. A second later he pulled away and started walking away. Tasha just sat there, stunned. She looked back towards Avery and noticed he was stumbling a bit. She leaned back aganist the tree and took a deep breath. Damn.
Tasha got up and jogged towards Avery. She didn't want to talk about what happened, but he needed help. He was bleeding fast and a lot. err...lean on me....I'll 'elp ye get back to the campsite.

*Tobbs had released his hand when he began moving around a bit more and resting his chin on her head. She was glad Jack was a touchy huggy person because she was as well, therefore slightly expecting it from him but full knowing he could’ve been distant, so she truly loved/appreciated it to sum things up. *
*Holding the coat he covered her with close, she closed her eyes when he told her to sleep, smiling almost playfully when he said he’d watch her. And then, he’d said he loved her and was asleep. *
*Woaw, rewind things for a second. Or so did Tobbs in her mind. He’d just told her he loved her, her, of All people! Now usually, if she hadn’t been feeling completely tired and feeble, she would’ve no doubtedly sat up, eyed him carefully, then went all emotional and hugged him until he couldn’t breath. But he was lucky tonight…then again, there was always the next day…. *
*So instead, she blinked a few times, shaking herself from her dreamy state, and then smiled an odd calm and silenced sort of way. Which was odd indeed, because she usually wasn’t silent, especially on matters as these. *
*Why so important? Well, no one had EVER told her they loved her since…. since she was very young. And no had ever really done so either. That was it. And now, she had Jack laying right next to her, telling her he loved her…and she, all the more loving him back, was entirely content with her wounds now. *
*Relaxing and letting herself close her eyes again, she whispered just above the sound of their breaths, knowing full well Jack could be asleep and not hear, but just because she meant it, and wanted to express it, she whispered. *
“’night…I…I love you too…”
*And she fell into the one of the most restful nights she’d ever had in her life, as if all this pressure on holding back from sleeping released, and she was able to dream once again. *

Post by Evelyn on Sept 22, 2004 21:06:16 GMT -5
Evelyn was then pulled from the bush and before she knew it, she seemingly snapped out of her wondrous dream. Or was it? Had she truly seen Eric? At this point, Evelyn was too confused to tell if she HAD seen him at all. As she was pulled out of the bush by Luis violently, she gave a yelp and looked at her ankle. Blood began to dry around the broken ankle and she eyed it a bit nervously. It would need attention soon.
Looking to Barbossa, his hand found its way towards her chin and she stared up at the Captain, glaring evilly at him. He was clearly insane and as far as she knew, she didn't want anything to do with him.
As he asked her where to go, Evelyn looked about the jungle. If Eric had indeed come this far, then Jack's crew can't be far behind. Her heart pounded and hope filled her eyes. If anything, she would be fighting to see if Eric was still alive and that was all...
As she thought this over she shrugged, Barbossa seemed eager to get going and something about not wanting to wait for the rest of his crew and the worry hanging in his tone made Evelyn believe that he was afraid of Jack's approach...they would find her soon, no need to give Barbossa a reason to kill her now.
Evelyn's honeyed eyes turned to Barbossa and she gave a small nod and then turned to start out northwest and nodded there. She would speak, but the scarf in her mouth kept her voice very limited in what it could express. "Norfwef..." was all that could be discerned from her. Then she sighed heavily, she could only pray that Jack's crew made it to her soon and before they reached El Dorado, because once they arrived there, she knew there would be no need for her...prompting Barbossa to allow ANYTHING to happen to her and that sent shivers down her spine....

Avery ignored the blue-eyed woman as she offered him help. He would be damned if he allowed her to help him. He would be perfectly fine on his own, walking in the jungle. It wasn't that hard. She trailed along side of him watching him quietly. Suddenly, he started feeling slightly faint and stumbled into a tree. Throwing his hand out, he caught himself and pressed his forehead agianst the rough bark of the tree. He needed to think, needed to clear his mind.
As an ant crawled over his hand, he pushed off from the tree and looked over at Tasha. She wordlessly made her way over to him and wrapped an arm around his waist. He sagged against her slightly as the pain from his wounds and the blood loss started to get to him.
"Ye know we're goin' the wrong 'ay, right?" Tasha asked him after they started walking again.
Ry sighed and slumped against her even more, "I know." He paused to collect his thoughts before explaining, "Look, I'm so'y. You just intehupted my nice quick death. I was supposed to take care of Sparrow and those of his c'ew back the'e. Since I've been with this c'ew I've found 'Bossa's not taken to kindly to failu'es. I just wanted to go doing what I was supposed to." He took a deep shaky voice, the blood loss truly getting to him now, "I'm just not 'eady to face 'im, yet."
Suddenly he heard someone yelling, and broke away from Tasha not wanting to see her reaction. He skidded to a halt in front of a huge pit. Stumbling a bit, he almost fell forward and into the pit. He stopped just in time to see a young woman standing in the center surrounded by snakes.
Footsteps alerted him to Tasha's approach and he called her over, "Huhey! Let's get he' out of the'e!" They quickly began to construct a rope of vines and tossed it over the side of the pit, "G'ab on!"
The woman glanced up at them and quickly made her way to the vine grabbing on to it and started climbing while Avery and Tasha pulled up at the same time. She was soon standing at the top of the pit looking at the two pirates. Tasha watching her warily and Avery examining his shoulder wound as it had started bleeding faster.

*Eric was still watching the others in the clearing, his full attention upon them and his jaw clenched tight with anger. Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him and he jerked around, wincing as he did so. His eyes darted between Mark and Elizabeth for a moment and then he nodded at the lad and grabbed Elizabeths arm to get her to kneel down beside him.
He raised a curious brow as she spoke her mind to him and he grinned a little. She was always an outspoken lass which was unusual for women of her "type".* Be careful, Elizabeth. If anything were to happen to you Will would never forgive himself. *He stated, choosing to linger in the shrubery for a moment longer as she left.
When he felt Avery, Micahel, and Selina were well out of sight he came out into the clearing and glanced around at the others who had been wounded during the fight. He frowned. This trip had turned out to be a lot more vicious then he had expected.
Most of those there were laying down now. Eric glanced at Tobbs and Jack and then to Elizabeth and Will and he lowered his eyes, sighing heavily. He didn't feel complete without Evelyn here. He sat down against a fallen log just outside of the firelight and watched the flames parade around with saddened eyes. He blinked away his tears and laid down, squeezing his eyes shut so they wouldn't fall. He couldn't stop thinking about her being out there somewhere and he wondered if she was hurt or afraid...or even alive. No, he had to believe she was alive. If he didn't, he knew he wouldn't open his eyes again.*

*Will jumped to his feet in an instant when Mark said Elizabeth had come with him. A large smile formed across his face as she appeared out of the clearing and he felt his heart leap. He noticed that Mark was taking a nap and he raised a brow, the man certainly had a strange internal sleeping clock. He slept a lot.
His eyes then went to Jack and he grinned and nodded.* I'll live, for now at least. *He grunted. How he and anyone else on the crew was still alive was beyond him. He shook his head at Lily and glanced at the blue bandana about his shoulder.* No, I think I'm good. *He said, rolling his shoulder again. It hurt like hell getting stabbed, hadn't happened before and he hoped it wouldnt happen again.
Will smiled down at Elizabeth as she had told him she just couldn't stay behind. As she hugged him he winced just a little as her chest brushed up against his. Avery had gave him a good slash across the chest and, though it would heal quickly as it wasn't serious by any means, it still didn't feel to great.* Sorry I just took off on you like that, leaving you with the others. But...I knew I needed to hurry and I didnt want you to come incase there was danger. *He said. He knew it annoyed her that he was always trying to keep her out of harms way but he couldn't help it. He loved her more than anything on this earth and without her the world would mean nothing to him.
He smiled at her lovingly and kissed her softly at first and then more passionately. He rested his forehead against hers and smiled again.* I'm glad you're here now though, I love you so much. *He said, leaning back and wrapping an arm about her. He nodded his head towards the fire and led her over to it, sitting down on the ground and patting the spot in front of him.
She leaned back into him and he wrapped his arms about her, resting his head against hers as he closed his eyes. His wound still throbbed but with Elizabeth near, the pain didn't seem so bad and before long he had fallen into a light sleep.*

Mark opened an eye and noticed Will was looking at him. He sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"If you're wonderin why I manage to find rest all the time tis cause I haven't had any since before we left mate. The day you found me and invited me I had worked all week stayin up till the wee hours of the morn. Plus I haven't been able to sleep well lately with all that has happened. Plus I keep haveing the same dream about me dad and brother. When I close my eyes again it comes...so I stay up the rest of the night."
Mark said with a fake grin. He stood up and stretched. He figured there were more than enough people to care for the wounded now. He was awfully happy that he had mangaged to get through the ordeal without a wound...unlike the last battle. He thought more about the battle that was sure to come. He wondered if any of them would die trying to get Evy back....and how many more men would die when they reached the city. He knew this group underestimated their adversaries. That is the worst thing a person can do...underestimate the enemy. He put the tought out of his mind and began to walk around aimlessly...he was begginning to feel bored....a feeling he hadn't had since they arrived on the island. His mind suddenly drifted back to Rose he wanted to sit and tell her everything....but she didn't seem to talk much. His eyes began to moisten. He suddenly allowed a smile to pop free when he thought about his first steps on the island.
"Ha ha ha...that damn monkey."
He said to himself wiping the tear away.
