Post by Captain Morgan Barbossa on Sept 26, 2004 23:00:38 GMT -5
::Barbossa sneered down at Evelyn, about to reply when he heard a shot ring out in the forest. Everything stopped; all noise seemed to cease except for the hollow echo of the blast. Barbossa froze::
"That....That can' be Jack....c'n it!?" ::He glanced sidelong at Luis, then grit his teeth:: "Damn him!"
::He wrapped his arm tighter around Evelyn as he rushed through the waterfall, more determined that ever to reach the city before his arch nemesis. He HAD to get that Dagger... nothing else mattered...::
::Beyond the waterfall was a huge tunnel, carved out of the cliff-side thousands of years ago. But the pirate captain wasted no time with sight seeing, instead rushing to the end, toward the light. Finally, the three stepped out into the most amazing sight they had ever seen::
::El Dorado::
::Barbossa's jaw nearly dropped to the ground when he first saw it. Everything - buildings, statues, even the roads - were made of gold. Owning even a portion of this city would have made him the richest man in the world; and he intended to have it all::
::But first, he needed that Dagger... He glanced down at Evelyn and noticed she was admring the city as well. Her honeyed eyes glittered excitedly at the beautiful sight around her, and Barbossa suddenly felt very light. Despite himself, a slight smile crept onto his face as he stared at her. Then he snapped back into reality::
"Take a good look at it, lass. Ye won' get ta see many sight like this where ye be goin'...." ::He grinned down at her:: "Too bad ye didn' get ta say goodbye ta yer Eric. I'm sure he'll get ov'r ye in time though. After all, yer just a bloody whore," ::he added slyly, deepening the insult::

[ooc- ok people i already feel awkward posting when I've missed an awful lot so please correct this post if it's not right]
The crew began to start out again. She placed a hand firmly on a root of a large tree and pulled herself up, her fingers digging into the soft bark. When she stood she dusted herself off and began to follow what crew had remained as a group. As they entered the cave the mustiness and clausterphobia overtook her. She began to rub her eyes, ridding the darkness from them. When she began to open them, her vision was blurry, but when they became clear, she could only stare. There were no words and yet there were countless words to describe such a beautiful thing as what she had seen.

::Jack blinked and fidgeted a bit more, unable to stand still, but nodded to reason::
"Aye...we stay along the edges....." Jack's hand trembled, it was all he could do to keep from giving over to impulse and hack away at the nearest building....::
:::He looked over at Will and grinned widely.:: "What do ye think mate......that's enough gold ot make the King of England jealous...."
::Then it was back to business.....where was Barbossa.....he had a score to settle....::

Evelyn had been staring wide eyed at the great city when suddenly Barbossa's words seemed to chase away all pleasant thoughts. Her mind turned back to Eric as his name was mentioned and her heart ached. He was still out there somewhere...injured and probably worried out of his mind. She knew if she were in his position that she would be. It must be horrible for him and she shook her head, feeling guilty once again. As Barbossa's insult came to her ears however, Evelyn glared at him.
"Ye bloody bastard!" Evelyn angrily barked at him. Instantly, lashing out Evelyn pounded her bound fists into Barbossa's back and then pulled back her elbow to elbow the Captain hard. "Don' ye DARE bloody talk ta me like that ye good fer nothin' sea RAT!" Evelyn spat angrily. Her face went hot and she smiled as the Captain buckled a bit from her hits.
Just as soon as she had done this however, her face paled. Perhaps getting HIM angry wasn't the best. He had threatend her with 'punishment' and Evelyn was deeply afraid of exactly what that might entail. Just as she thought about this though, she shook her head. It didn't matter WHAT happened to her now, Evelyn wasn't about to let this bastard tell her anything like what just rolled off his tongue. "Yer bloody LUCKY 'm bound! If I were able ta, I'd be bloody rippin' ye ta shreds ye bloody piece
Eve then spotted Luis out of the cornere of her eyes and he stared at her with an oily grin as if he KNEW too that something horrible were coming Evelyn's way.

::Barbossa doubled over at the force of Evelyn's punch, wheezing slightly. He glared at her::
"Big...mistake..." ::Snarling, he flung her to the ground, forgetting for the moment that Jack and his crew were drawing nearer. He grabbed her broken ankle and squeezed hard, taking advantage of her momentary weakness to look around. They were surrounded by small houses on all sides, any of which would suit his purposes. Choosing one at random, he began to drag Evelyn - by her ankle - toward the front door. Once inside, he released her foot::
"I warned ye, lass. But ye insisted on not followin' me orders, and now ye pay the price..." ::He knelt down, bending over her and pinning her hands over her head:: "Ta be honest...I may actually enjoy this..."
::With that, he cast her a filthy grin before leaning down and kissing her deeply, while his hands began ripping away her bodice::

Kalin followed the rest of the crew and nearly wet himself upon seeing the gold city. It was really a sight to see and he felt weak staring at it.
"Do ye...can ye.." Kalin sputtered out staring at all the glittering gold. It took him a good five minutes before he came to himself and drew his sword. "I don't know Jack. I'd rather we headed in now."

*Erics eyes carefully scanned the area around, the immaculate amount of gold not even registering in his mind at the moment. Nothing did except finding Evelyn and getting her to safety. Suddenly he spoted movement out of the corner of his eye and he twisted around swiftly, catching sight of two figures going into one of the smaller of the golden buildings.
Erics eyes narrowed and he bolted forward, running faster than he had in his life towards the building. He tossed the sword Roux had given him aside, knowing it would be worthless to him. As he entered his eyes went wide and flashed with rage beyond anything he had felt before. He saw Evelyn, helpless and her ankle looking awful with Barbossa on top of her, kissing her. His heart sank to see her like this and for a moment he couldn't even breathe.
He REFUSED to let anything like her past happen to her again and he charge forward, latching hold of Barbossa and throwing him off of her. He was breathing heavily now, his eyes narrow and hate filled, his fists balled at his sides as he glarred at the man.* You bastard. You'll pay for everything you've done to her. *He growled, lifting the man back to his feet by his collar and punching him as hard as he could across the face. He got into a defensive stance, ready to fight if he needed to. He'd make sure this man went straight to Hell, even if he had to take him there himself.
He promised Evelyn he would protect her from these things and he was going to follow through. He was happy to see that she was alive but the hate and vegence he was feeling for Barbossa right now far outweighed any other feelings.*

He gave his twin a shake of the head and frowned. "Kalin, if we just leapt in now what good will that do us?"
But he too was getting worried. Jason had of course like the others gone into a state of severe shock like the rest as he beheld the city. But he recovered faster knowing danger was lurking nearby.
"Swords out then, and lets have a look, yes?"

Unlike the others, Roux had not gone into some sort of shock. The god had seen gold like this before, his own eyes were a reflection of what they looked on.
"Well, it's beautiful." He said softly then watched as Eric bolted then looked at the others. The captain would have the final say, but just the same, he was pissed off as well and very tempted to just run after Eric.
"What do you think, captain?"

*Lily stared at teh city, open mouthed and in a state of sincere shock which was broken as the Captain squeaked. She giggled and looked at him*
"Trying to speak mouse are ye, captain?" She asked him and laughed. Then Eric was running and she watched him go.*
"Well what do you suppose..?" She asked and then drew a throwing dagger from her arm band. "Captain, I'm guessin' Eric's spotted Barbossa....or Evelyn."#nosmileys

::Barbossa nearly had Evelyn's shirt off when he was suddenly lifted off her and tossed aside into the wall. Shaking his head, he looked up just in time to be dragged to his feet by his attacker, and given a solid punch to the jaw. He stumbled back, clutching his side and glaring at the man before him::
::From the way he seemed to be reacting to Evelyn's predicament, Barbossa knew immediately who this was:: "Eric, I presume..? Evy's told me so much abou' ye. It be an honor ta finally meet ye in person. However, I should warn ye that what ye did just now.. wasn' too bright..."
::He glared, whipping out his pistol and aiming it directly at Eric's head:: "Yer dealin' with Captain Morgan Barbossa now, sonny. An' I don' think yer really any match fer me."

Post by Evelyn on Sept 27, 2004 1:25:23 GMT -5
There was a sudden sharp pain in Evelyn's ankle as Barbossa grew enraged. She cried out in sheer pain and almost blacked out. The ankle was unbearable now and a bit of sweat accumulated over her brow as a result of the pain. Her honey eyes were out of focus, she had been steadily losing blood over that and she was getting too weak for her own good now.
Evelyn blinked as suddenly she was thrown to the ground. Her hands were soon pinned up over her head and Evelyn breathed in sharply. 'No...not again.' Evelyn thought. His words became faded and she gasped as he bent over her. "NO!" Evelyn shouted angrily as she twitched, attempting to push Barbossa off. She struggled but her weakened body took over and she calmed her twitching. He was ripping at her clothes now and she closed her eyes, knowing what was coming and hating it to the core. She had faced enough already...hadn't she? She spat at the Captain and she yelled something, but she rested her head back once again. Her head was dazed and everything in the room became fuzzy. "Please...not again..." Evelyn whispered, wishing it would all go away, and holding back any tears that dared prickle their way up to her.
Just as her shirt was ABOUT to become peeled from her, the weight lifted and she blinked. "Eric?!" Evelyn said in an almost dazed manner. She could make out a large, blonde figure and she shook her head. Evelyn scooted back to the wall, breathing heavily. Her heart pounded as she watched Eric and she almost cried. There he was, so close, yet so far. "Eric mate! PLEASE! Be CAREFUL!" Evelyn called out to him as she held back a sob of sheer relief. Her ankle throbbed and she bit her lip. It was turning an awful color and she feared the worst.
Her heart leapt into her throat. She wanted him to STOP fighting, to turn and hold her, to tell her it would be alright...but he wouldn't. Evelyn worked at the roped around her wrists and managed to loosen them some before she noticed her shirt was torn and hanging off of her loosely, exposing a BIT of skin indeed. It seemed Barbossa had yanked at it enought to uncover a bit too much and she quickly adjusted it to cover herself up once more.
Her eyes turned at Barbossa angrily. A tear fell and she wanted more than anything to rush to Eric's side, embrace him, and simply melt in his arms. She needed him more than he knew and as Barbossa drew his pistol, her heart leapt into her throat and Evelyn leapt forward a bit, cringing in utter pain and crying out "NO!"

*Eric said nothing at first as Barbossa addressed him then he glanced over his shoulder to where Evelyn was and a sad look came over his brown eyes seeing her like this...her shirt nearly off....the kiss....it was all fuel for his anger now, he didn't even feel the pain in his body.* I should warn you, what you did to her, not so bright either, Barbossa. *He hissed, his eyes slowly falling on the pistol now pointed at his head.
His fitsts clenched and unclenched at his sides as he weighed his options. He couldn't get himself killed now, if he did what would happen to Evelyn? But he didn't just want to back down either. He'd waited a while for this moment to get his revenge on this bastard and now it was here. His anger, if anything, would be what ruled his mind right now.
Without wasting another moment to think he leaped forward to tackle the man. But just as he leaped on him he felt himself jerked back and thrown to the ground. He winced as the pain shot through his body again and his eyes fell on a familar face as he struggled to swiftly get back to his feet. Luis was standing there, an oily grin on his face as he saw what Barbossa had been about to do to Evelyn. He snickered at Eric and casually strolled up to him.* So I see you are still alive after all. Well I can fix that.[/color] *He laughed and punched Eric across the jaw. Eric stumbled back, growled, and leaped towards him.*

::Jack watched Eric run, then wasted no time in following. He gave the lad a few moments of a head start, figuring he'd want some time to beat Barbossa up on his own...a thing Jack could relate to::
::He'd picked up the sword Eric had thrown, and added it to his own weaponry, then crashed in after him::
::The sight that met his eyes was not a good one. Barbossa looking a bit beat up, but Luis had Eric occupied, and Evelyn...::
::something in Jack snapped, as he drew both swords and whipped one through the air, slicing Luis's arm as he did. The man yelped and released Eric and Jack stood glaring at Barbossa and Luis::
"Ye bloody rats..." He spat. "How dare ye....ye low...son of a..." And his anger took over. His sword cut the air as he made a wild swing Barbossa, and sliced his hat instead.:: "Ye'll pay for this....for hurtin' Evelyn....I'll make sure of it...."
::Jack moved closer, trying to get near Evelyn as he did, and he stepped in front of her, shielding her for a second, as he worked his way into a full blown fight.::
::Then he moved, driving forward, his blades blocking Luis and Barbossa. He was pissed. But this fight would wear him down soon enough. He needed help and knew the rest of the crew would follow soon enough::

*once Jack moved, Lily had followed, and came into the fight ready to kill. She had stared at Barbossa for a long second, completly outraged nd moved in to help Evelyn*
"Here...Evelyn.." She whispered as Jack pushed Barbossa and Luis away a moment. She quickly removed her vest and fitted it onto Evelyn. Then she stood and drew her cutlass.
"All right ye rats. Now yer going to pay!" And Lily joined the fight, quickly helping Jack drive them back a bit.
