::Jack smiled to himself. He heard Tobbs, and he smiled. He only moved closer to her. Well..it would have been comfortable....really would have::
::Then he jerked away and clutched his shoulder tightly, his teeth clenched. Letting loose a stream of swear words ina low voice he closed his eyes, letting the pain wash over him and die on its own::
::This really did hurt...badly. It'd been a while since he'd been shot....he'd forgotton how much it hurt. Looking at Tobbs he smiled fainly then glanced towards the crew. He wouldn't bother anyone right now. Was his fault they were in this mess anyway.:::
"I think...I think this....wound here..." Jack indicated his shoulder then the fire.:: "might need to burn it..." He gestured aimlessly with one hand. "Need..to be fixed up if we're to catch Barbossa...get to Evelyn....the gold...."
::With that he stood up and went over to Will and prodded him with his boot::: "Oy...wake up lad...." When Will stirred he stared at him seriously::
"I need ye to burn this shut..." Jack said calmly. "So I won't slow anyone down...savvy?" Jacks voice was almost a little too calm::#nosmileys#nosmileys

"Northwest...," ::Barbossa repeated aloud, scanning the area around the three of them. He had an incredible sense of direction - on the sea. But this was land, and he felt completely disoriented::
::Luckily, night was beginning to fall, and the first stars were visible in the pre-dusk sky. The North star was straight ahead... Grabbing Evy around the waist, he slung her over his shoulder and began to head Northwest:: "Luis, yer comin' with me."
::They were heading in the opposite direction of Jack's camp, so that if Sparrow wanted to follow them, he would have a hard time catching up. Barbosse smirked::
"Get us ta El Dorado, miss Pearl, and I promise I'll give ye a s big reward...."

*Wills eyes blinked open as he was prodded with a boot and his eyes sleepily made their way up to Jack and he blinked a couple more times. He rubbed his eyes and noticed that Elizabeth was already asleep. Not wanting to wake her he carefully shifted out from behind her and laid her down.
Rising to his feet he fumbled with his belt and eyed Jack curiously.* What is it? We're not going anywhere just yet are we, before I go off to die again I need a bit of a break. *He grinned and then noticed the Captain was messing with his bullet wound and he was able to put two and two together.* You really trust me with closing that up for you? *Will said with a devious grin.
And then Mark spoke to him. He furrowed his brow a moment and nodded, growing curious about the mans dream. He'd have to ask him about that later, but right now he needed to focus on getting Jacks wound closed up before the man bled to death.*

::Jack nodded seriously:: "Yer one of the few mate.....an' I need this closed up...." He smiled faintly, a shadow of his old wry self coming out.::
"So..what'll we need? A metal thing...a sword blade maybe....and make sure the fire's hot enough...." He looked around and shook his head::
"Best get it done before Tobbs gets it into her head to stop me..."

Evelyn was soon flung over Barbossa's shoulder and Evelyn peered aorund her. From what she could tell, the late afternoon was dying now and soon it would be dark. This frightened her and her throat tightened. What would happen in the dark of night, when all the world seemed to sleep? What kind of horrors could Barbossa unleash when in the cloak of an ebony sky. She growled and she kicked a bit, shoving her knee into Barbossa's chest as hard as she could. She hoped it would work as a bit of a warning for how fiesty she'd be if he tried ANYTHING funny with her.
Evelyn's gaze went to Luis who followed closly and she narrowed her eyes at his oily smile. "Bawboffa...if er...don'..." was all that was discernible. Evelyn shook her head and sighed deeply. Evelyn wasn't sure what would happen to her now and his last few words frightened her. What did Barbossa have in mind after all? He couldn't possibly want anything to do with her, besides perhaps want to destroy her physically or mentally...she shivered at the thought...and prayed rescue would come soon, or at least that Bossa would mess up enough so that she could make her escape...
Evelyn's ankle throbbed and she cringed as they moved quickly through the jungles. Bits of gold were beginning to show up in the ground and Evelyn's eyes widened. They were getting closer, the distant sound of rumbling came to her ears...rushing water was up ahead, El Dorado...was merely moments away...

::Barbosse felt a sharp jab of pain in his chest as Evelyn kneed him. So she wanted to do things the hard way? So be it... He grabbed her waist again and hurled her down to the ground. He knelt in front of her, smirking wickedly, and ripped off her gag::
"Listen lass. So long as yer me prisoner, ye follow my rules. If ye try anythin' like that kick again, ye'll pay the price. If ye try to escape, you'll pay. An' trust me.... it won' be th' most pleasant o' punishments. Now, yer gonna be a good girl an' behave fer yer new Captain, and do everythin' i say. Is tha' clear?"
::Barbossa scooped her back up and smirked, throwing her back over his shoulder before continuing::

*Will nodded and chuckled, glancing over at Tobbs. He figured the man was right and so he best be quick about it. He drew his sword and set the tip in the embers of the fire, letting it linger there until it was good and hot. He motioned for Jack to move his shirt aside and when he did Will brough out the sword and a faint grin came over his face. His eyes sparkled with mischeif.* If only my donkey could see you now, he'd love this I'm sure. *He grunted.
The donkey would forever hold a grudge now against Jack and hot objects. Will turned the sword and swiftly pressed the flat piece of the blade up against the bullet wound. He wanted to be as quick as possible about it considering it would probably hurt like hell. After a moment he pulled it away and replaced the sword, looking over Jacks wound.* Well I think you're set to go, Jack. *He said, giving the man a satisfied nod.*

::Jack smirked about the donkey comment then eyed the blade Will was holding::
::It hurt. To say the very least....it hurt. Jack bit back a cry of pain and bore it....but let out a hiss when Will pulled away. Then he took in some air, tears coming to his eyes. He couldn't help it...he really couldn't. It hurt.::
:But he blinked them back and laughed, gasped a little and nodded:: "Aye...thank you, Eunuch." He said using the nickname fondly, and smiled. "I think...now...maybe I can sleep....what do ye think?" He laughed a little and then rewrapped the wound now::
::Jack stood shakily and then wantig to just let the pain go away alone...or at least in private he made for the edge of camp and sat a few yards away from the fire's reach, thinking. The pain from the various wounds was enough to keep him from sleeping more then a few minutes at a time....and he knew he might not get any rest tonight.::
::sighing he leaned onto a tree, balencing himself out a bit then tried to focus on something other then the smell of his own flesh being burned::

Evelyn was suddenly caught off gaurd as she was grabbed and pulled to the ground. Her honeyed eyes went wide and she glanced about his face and growled. As the gag was ripped from her she moved her jaw slowly, as if warming her jaws up for the yelling she had been wanting to do. As he spoke her eyes were dead locked on his and she growled. "Be a good lass? Ye bloody bastard! Yer lucky I'm cooperatin' with ye at all!" She barked at him and then was lifted back on his shoulder.
She gave a deep sigh and called out loud and clear through the jungles, hoping this one shout would do. "EEEEERRRRRRIIIIIIICCCCCCC!!!!!" It was all Evelyn had and she dropped her head then, hoping it was enough to at LEAST give him a clue that she was out there and still alive. She spoke softly now, her eyes burning a hole into Luis and then her words went to Barbossa. "Do what ye want Barbossa...but don' ye DARE bloody touch the crew or Eric...or I swear on my father's grave..." Evelyn began threateningly.
Her head dropped and she hung there over Barbossa's shoulder. Awaiting to die...awaiting something, and a glint of gold winked at her...El Dorado was upon them...

*Tobbs was actually resting peacefully for once, but when Jack left, she began to get restless. She hadn't sensed him leaving at first, but something in her broke her train of rest. She was asleep, yes, but she was restless. And that meant anything could wake her up in a second's time.*
*Half conscious, and half unconscious, she suddenly felt something on her arm, light and feathery and soothing almost. Smiling at this, thinking that perhaps Jack being wounded was makin' him frisky and whatnot, she fluttered open her eyes and turned her head to gaze over at him, feeling with her hand for where he was. But he wasn't there. And that meant something really different than what she thought was on her arm...*
*Slowly, as if apprehensive and reluctant to see whatever inched up towards ehr shoulder, her eyes rested on this large spider. It was probably a baby, as it looked to be not fully grown, but to Tobbs, it was massive. And it was on her. Soooooo not good.*
*Jumping up to a standing position and thwapping the spider off of her, she backed away and shivered and brushed about everywhere off just in case there wasn't an army of them on her. Muttering and wrapping Jack's coat around her tighter, she blinked and searched the camp for him.*
*Picking up her extra set of clothes, she tucked them beneath the coat and went to Will, who was by the fire.*
"Will....where's Jack gone to? If 'e's dashed out into the jungle in search of Barbossa already, I'm gonna 'ave to kill 'im when I find 'im..."
*She smiled but sighed nonetheless, watching the way he gestured to where Jack had last walked off. Patting the man on the side he wasn't injured, she thanked him and began quickly heading off that way.*
*She slowed down when she saw him leaning on a tree, she let another sigh out of relief and approached, pushing her hair back behind her ear and gazing down at him as she stood before him.*
"If I don't die of a stroke from all these crazy creatures, yer sure ta give me a 'eart attack."
*Watching him and his eyes, catching the pain he held in his expression, she wondered what had just happened...*
"Alrigh', either you were attacked by those massive spiders and left me ta die, or something else's wrong...what was Will doin' with that sword that seemed aglow, and why do I sense it involved yer shoulder....should I even ask?"

::Jack eyed her a bit, then just shrugged as best he could:: "Will had to close the hole up....cauterized it...." He explained and moved his shirt enough for her to see the burn that now covered the wound.::
"It's all right...it'll heal better now..." He said carefully, watching her warily. Then he smiled. "Did ye find some jungle creatures?" He asked with a laughing smile. "Another big bug?"
::He reached a hand out to her, beckoning her to sit near him. "Yer a funny lass, Tobbs...I've seen ye fight like a demon an yer afraid of insects...." He smiled and pulled her down level with him::
"Why so afraid of them?" He asked her curiously. The question was simple enough. He was just curious, and he was trying to keep his mind off the pain of healing now.::#nosmileys

*Elizabeth spent every mometn they had together in bliss really, not wanting to close her eyes and sleep, but being so tired to a point she finally had to. She had snuggled up to him and fell into a light sleep, well enough to catch a few minutes or so of peacefulness through the night.*
*Waking when she felt Will was gone, she opened ehr eyes and looked around, worriedly scannign the crew and eying their faces to see if one was Will. When they rested on her husband, standing at the fire with Jack, she smiled more relaxed and watched the two of them, furrowing her brows when Jack was burned, but knowing was for the best.*
*When he left, she stood up, feeling a bit woozy at first, but feeling fine enough to walk over. When she did, she wrapped her arms around him and gazed up at him again, smiling softly and sighing in content.*
"Everything alright, Will?"
*She was earnestly asking, glancing down at his large wound and then the one at his chest, biting her lip and looking back up to him.*
"I'm sorry I...I wasn't there sooner...I feel terrible for not stopping this...."
*She had guessed now what her jungle fever was. She needed to know for sure before she said anything, but she knew they had to discuss the notion sooner or later. It was just hard to approach it now, where they were, especially with Will injured. So she just kept silent and waited for him to speak...*

*Tobbs furrowed her brows in worry when she heard what Will had done. Probably for the best, yes, but she didn't like the fact that he was being burned. Didn't sound too pleasant, and didn't make her happy to think about him having it done.*
*Shivering at the notion of jungle creatures and plotting to take her seat next to him where he beckoned, she smiled cockily at first, folding her arms gradually and giving him a look that stated, 'do you really want to know?' Then, as he pulled her down level to him, she shook her head as if preparing to get into it all.*
"Well, let's see...firstly, they're 'ideous. I mean, look at 'em. Just knowing that I'm watched with eight beady little eyes gives me the shivers."
"And if they weren't so bloody mean, then I'd be more comfortable around them. But 'onestly, they're nutters. Always be wary of one with a weapon. No matter their size. I'd say they like to bite and prick you. And I'd rather not 'ave poison in me either."
"And lastly, bad experiences with those fickle crawlers. Was stuck in a barrel full of those stinging desert things when I was younger....scorpions, is it? Took me out when I'd gone mad from both them crawling all over me and the poison in me....they liked to make me a sport with those bloody creepy crawlers, all kinds of things, as long as it gave them something to laugh about..."
*She'd gotten over remembering the past a bit ago, so she stated this last bit casually, but still it hurt her to remember. All the while she looked down away from Jack, as if ashamed, wondering if he'd think lowly of her for some reason or another now. But when she glanced up at him, she smiled and shook her head again.*
"And they're tricky...bloody spider fooled me into believing it was you! THAT'S 'ow skilled they are. Although I was 'alf conscious, so may'ap I'll 'ave to give some kind of demonstration..."
*There went the teasing again. Felt good to be focusing not on wounds. This was much more fun.*

*Will smiled and nodded at Jack as the man thanked him, he even laughed a little at the nickname and rolled his eyes. When he died it would probably say that on his tombstone. He watched Jack walk off but wasn't ready to go back to sleep himself just yet. It was still only evening, he'd have plenty of time to rest and so he lingered by the fire with his hands in his pockets.
He watched the flames intently, thinking of his father and wondering about what kinds of adventures the man had taken himself. He smiled, he was glad that Jack had known the man. At least that way Will was able to learn more about who he really was. He heard Tobbs leap up and when he glanced at her she was swatting at something and he snickered. Seemed she had been attacked by a beastly insect.
As she approached him, asking about Jack, he said nothing, only gestured to where the man had wandered off to. A moment later he felt arms about him and saw Elizabeth had come to his side. He smiled warmly at her and nodded, kissing her forehead.* Everythings fine. You shouldn't feel terrible Elizabeth, you didn't do anything wrong. I know you dont like to miss adventure but it makes me feel better when youre out of harms way. *He said softly, wrapping his own arms about her.
He smiled at her once more and kissed her again.* But even though I cant stop worrying about you, I'm still glad you're here. It's not the same without you. *He whispered, gazing at her. But he could tell there was something on her mind and his brow furrowed.* What about you, are you alright? *He asked concerned.*

"Well, I could have done something perhaps...to stop those men and that woman...but I'm happy I wasn't there then, slightly; I wouldn't have wanted to cause you distress while you defended the others."
*She wished she could have been there, but to think of distracting Will from focusing and therefore causing someone to get injured, or even himself worse, wasn't too appealing. So she stayed content with that knowledge and returned his kiss, anticipating his arms around her and letting ehr smile grow when she felt them wrapped around her.*
"As it's not the same without you,e specially when it comes to staying home without you. Everything seems so...so empty.."
*Gazing up at him in return, she leaned her head against his chest, noting to make sure she wasn't pressing against part of his injury. When he asked if she was alright, she was silent for a few seconds, then opened her eyes and directed them towards his.*
*She paused again. How could she start this off? She guessed she oculd be judging wrong...but then this had been going on for awhile now, and all the symptoms she was having clearly pointed out that she, in fact, was guessing right. So as much as she tried denying it, just because she was nervous about the whole thing, but definitely wanted it to happen, she knew she was right.*
"Well...there is something....but I don't want to add pressure on you, after all that's happened here in the jungle."
*She watched his expressions carefully, placing her hand at his cheek, and letting it fall down to his hand. Slipping ehr fingers through his, she squeezed his hand and finally bravened up to say it, placing his hand just on her stomach for a few seconds, then brought it back down with a slow kind of caution.*
"Will....I think its best we begin talking of thoughts on...on a family...before the family arrives before then-it seems time's running out...jungle fever's actually something more than that...much more..."
*Best way she could break it to him without causing a panic she judged. But was she even making sense?*
