Roux didn't hesitate now. He ran after the Captain, ready to help Eric. Once there he glared at Barbossa and Luis then drew a sword, prepared to help.
But Barbossa's crew would be near too. And Roux hovered within sight of Barbossa, but ready to be a back up should the man's crew show up now.
"Is she all right?!" He called to Lily, who had had seen run in as well. Nothing would save Barbossa's hid if he'd hurt Evelyn. He caught sight of her hurt ankle, and turned golden eyes onto the man. They burned with a deadly fire.
"Ye bastard." Roux growled out, and jumped in to help Jack. The Captain was a strong man, a good man, but he had been hurt and Roux was ready to help him.

*Tobbs chased after the captain, a bit down spirited for some reason. The city of gold was lovely, beyond astounding, but she was somewhat...sad....and she didn't know how to explain why.*
*So she just kept following Jack with an odd sort of 'not entirely at focus' state, thinking over things as she went along. She should be frolicking, or determined to kick some pirates' arse, but she just....gah, she shrugged it off, and went her way. She needed to snap out of it.*
*So she did. She barged in behind Lily and eyed the surrounding scene, glaring at Barbossa and Luis and sending Evy a worried glance. *
*Immediately she went to her side, forgetting about fighting and smiling up at her, eying her ankle and trying to help ehr as much as she could while the others fended Barbossa and Luis off.*

*Eric had tackled Luis to the ground in one swift motion and began pounding on him until he felt himself growing weaker. The man beneath him however put up a damn good fight himself, landing a few jabs on Erics jaw and already throbbing ribs. Eric cried out as the man threw him off him, slamming him hard into the ground.* You good for nothing, you are just as worthless as the wench is[/color] *Luis hissed. At this Eric growled and lashed out, kicking the man in the stomach.
Luis grunted and rose to his feet, as did Eric. He was about to attack Eric again when suddenly he felt a blade slash his arm and he cried out. Eric glanced swiftly over to Jack and then back to his Spanish enemy. He assisted Jack in every way possible and his eyes briefly fell on Evelyn. In that instant they were soft and filled with all the love in the world. He smiled at her and mouthed "Run" when he felt Luis kick him in the shin.
He went down but not without taking the man down with him.* You bastard, you didn't win last time and you WONT win now. *He cried angrily, smashing the mans face into his knee. All he could think about now was getting rid of Luis and Barbossa so that he could go to Evelyn. It had felt like an eternity without her, a painful one at that. And now she was close to him yet he couldn't get to her. She needed help, she needed comfort and he wanted her desperatly in his arms. He stole glances at her when he could but couldn't get away from Luis.
He hated this man even more then he hated Barbossa. He knew she had loved this filth once and that Luis took advantage of that and used her. It angered Eric beyond words to know that Barbossa had attempted to do the same thing. These thoughts only angered him further, if at all possible, and he sprang to his feet and gave Luis once good kick beneath the jaw, sending him flying into a wall.
But Luis was surprsingly strong and wearily rose to his feet. He grabbed a golden statue and chucked it at Eric, nailing him in the chest and knocking the wind from him. Eric gasped for air and Luis smircked, stalking towards him.* Evelyn is right, Eric. You are a softie, and soon enough you will be a dead one.[/color] *He laughed. Eric glarred at him, finally gaining his breath back. Now he knew why he'd felt like he and Evelyn had been watched this whole time. They'd been followed by him.* If I die, I'm taking you with me. *Eric said, starting to run low on energy though attempting to hide it and he again charged Luis.*

Post by Evelyn on Sept 27, 2004 9:42:22 GMT -5
Evelyn's hand swiftly went to her forehead, she felt a bit dazed still and she growled in bitter frustration. She was completely useless and she hated this beyond belief. Seeing Luis charge Eric like that, Evelyn attempted desperately to stand, but her ankle was completely of no use and she stumbled back to the ground, biting her lip to restrain a shout of pain. Her honeyed eyes were wearied and on fire. Soon enough, Jack had entered and Evelyn's face brightened. "JACK!" Eve shouted with a bit of relief.
He made his way towards her, as if shielding her from any danger for a moment but she looked past him to Eric, not wanting to lose sight of what possibly could be happening to him. As Jack then engaged in the fight Evelyn shook her head again. She stared at her ankle. "You STUPID bloody thing." Eve hissed at it, as if the ankle itself would become offended by it. As she glared at her ankle angrily, she worked on the ropes that binded her wrists and finally managed to rip them off, spitting them onto the floor.
Yet as she was freed, she knew there was nothing she could truly do. Evelyn found herself half crawling, half dragging herself along the wall, attempting to make her way close to Eric when Lily came her way. She offered up her vest and she took it gladly. Placing it on hurriedly she sighed and then rested up against the wall. She shook her head. "Bloody 'ell..." Evelyn cried in frustration, slamming her fist against the wall. For a brief moment Evleyn noticed Eric turn to her and mouth the words run and Evelyn surprisingly, gave a short laugh.
"Ye bloody idiot...'ve go' a broken ANKLE, how d'ye suppose I run fer it?" Evelyn said aloud to herself and gave a chuckle. Even the worse of situations, he was able to make her smile. Perhaps not intentionally...but it worked nonetheless.
When Tobbs approached her Evelyn beamed. "Tobbs mate! C'mere an' help me out. I need a bloody sword...an' I need a dagger or two..." Evelyn began to ramble, but the look on Tobbs' face after she spotted Evelyn's ankle wasn't a very cheery one and Evelyn then tore her eyes towards it as well.
There was a mixture of dried and new blood, the rag which had been wrapped around it a bit messily was falling away and revealed a slight sight of white bone and a dark green color was beginning to color the edges of where the opening to the wound was. "I's nothin'..." Eve muttered but she knew in her heart there was nothing she could do, and nothing she SHOULD do, to put it under more strain. If she did, then she might end up losing the foot completely...
Roux soon joined the fight and Evelyn looked to him as his eyes suddenly gave a soft glow. She lifted a brow at this but shook her head, deciding it was her mind playing tricks on her. Instead, she turned back to Eric and muttered angrily at herself.
"Tobbs mate...Barbossa...he...he trie ta..." Evelyn blinked then, as if trying to block the image from spreading over her eyes once more. It was all too much too quick for her and she wanted nothing more than for it all to stop so she could be with Eric and that the crew would be safe. She didn't want anyone getting killed over this, not over her...it wasn't fair. The very fight Eric faced FOR her was the one she couldn't join and it irritated her to no end...

::Jack snarled and fought Barbossa and Luis back as far as he could, but his shoulder was becoming tired::
"Tobbs, Roux....anyone, get Evelyn out of here." He said edging himself into the fight next to Eric. He didn't like the looks of things. and He had a sneaking suspision that Evelyn's ankle was going to cause some serious problems as far as retreating went.::
"Lowly...bloody...cowards." Jack snapped suddenly at Luis, and turned on him for no apparent reason other then he just didn't like the way Luis had insulted Eric::

Roux nodded at the Captain and turned to Tobbs and Evelyn and edged his way over.
"Your ankle, Miss Evelyn." He said with a bizarre politeness given the situation. He could see that being out of the fight wasdriving Evelyn crazy. so he took pity on her and bound up her ankle with his sash. His hands worked deftly as he bound it up.
Then gently he traced a finger up the ankle, a muted light coming from it. He didn't heal her ankle, but he eased the pain from it, dulling it a great deal, but nothing more. Then he stood quickly.
"Jack wants to get you out of here." He said glancing over his shoulder as Luis, Eric, Jack, Lily and Barbossa battled it out. "I can try carrying you if you'll permit it."

*angerily Lily turned to Barbossa, now that Jack had seemed to back away from the man and turned his agression on Luis*
*She smiled faintly, and raised her sword to Barbossa, and laughed* "Look's like it's you and me, mate." She laughed again and took a swing at him, which Barbossa blocked. Lily grumbled and pushed foreward*
*But Barbossa was much more skilled then she had planned on and soon she was being driven back. Lily's eyes widened and she backed away, unable to hold back much more*

One minute Rhys was standing in the middle of the jungle with Roux and Eric, the next she's at the edge of a fight in a city of gold. She shook her head and started focusing in on everything around her.
Jack was trying to fight Barbossa and Luis back while Eric attempted to get Luis. Her hand drifted to the dagger at her waist wondering where the rest of the Barbossa's crew had gone. Roux was now at Evelyn's side wrapping her ankle and trying to get her out of the area.
Suddenly, Lily was being beaten back by Barbossa, when the woman had engaged him Rhys had missed. She blinked and pulled the villagers knife free. She moved forward and intercepted Barbossa's next swing at Lily. Her knife barely stopped the sword, but it was enough. Withdrawing her knife she moved next to Lily with a small smile, "Need some help, mate?"

*Lily gave Rhys a grateful look and smiled* "Help is always welcomed mate." *She turned to Barbossa now, her sword drawn, and asked Rhys:
"Are you any good with a long sword?" She asked, and made a motion with her hand, indicating Rhys could use the spare sword she had on her belt* "Cause your knife might not hold up."
*saying this she unbuckled her spare sword, and thrust it at Rhys, then took another swipe at Barbossa* "Tough one to kill this one is, isn't he?" Lily asked Rhys casually, almost relaxing now that she had someone to help her.*

Sarah gasped as she entered the cave. It was marvelous. There was so much gold. She started dancing in circles, not only did she have all the gold she could ever want, but also she would get away from this blasted jungle. She turned quickly as she heard Barbossa's gruff voice. Why can't you just not follow us for once? Sarah growled. She saw Maria and moved towards her, taking out her sword. One of Barbossa's crew came running toward her, but she quickly parried him. She walked backwards, defending herself, until she was back to back with Maria. Just like old times, aye? Sarah smiled as she ran her sword through the pirate and kicked him away. I don't believe I've ever done that before!

Rhys laughed at Lily's comment. "Tougher they are the more fun it is." She gratefully accepted the sword and held it up testing the weight while her companion attacked the evil pirate. She smiled and shifted the sword in her hand, finding it to her liking.
"I've never been too good with a sword, but it's better then getting my arm cut off blocking a blow with my knife," she said aloud. "I really need to find myself some new weapons. Bloody navy took mine before the left me to drift." She scowled and took her slight anger out on Barbossa, lunging with her new weapon.
Attempting to throw the man off with their casual conversation, Rhys smiled at Lily her eyes never leaving her enemy. "So, we haven't gotten much time to get to know each other. Where ya from? And you're favorite color wouldn't happen to be yellow would it?" she asked.

Tasha rushed up to Selina and Micheal, glancing back at Avery and Kora. Kora had her arm around Avery she growled and started to get up, but Micheal coughed and she turned her attention back to Selina and him. What happened to you guys? Where's the rest of the crew? She looked up at Avery and Kora and saw Kora clutching Avery. Ahem. Avery, if ye could get your arms off that...girl...for a few seconds maybe ye could 'elp me and Selina. Selina gave Tasha a slightly questioned look, but Tasha just shook her head, signaling for Selina not to ask.

*Lily blinked at Rhys, momentarily thrown off as well, then laughed*
"Well maybe you can get Mr. Turner to make ye a new sword when we get home" *She suggested* "No, my favorite color's not yellow. I'm more of a green or blue girl myself."
*Lily danced around the pirate, and bumped into Tobbs as she did, gave her a grin and asked suddenly* "Is Evelyn all right?"
*Then she moved in closer to Rhys, smiling as she did so*

"You think he would, Turner I mean?" Rhys questioned almost shyly. She still thought of herself as an outside. Was positive that once they reached Port Royal again that she would be tossed back into the streets from wence she came. In fact, she was beginning to fear that day. Dreading that day.
Shaking the thought from her head, she looked back at Barbossa and eyed him warily. He did not seem in the mood to attack, so she watched him waiting. "Blue or green? The colors of the sea. I'ld have to say I'm more of a black girl myself. Dark is a nice place," she said. Suddenly she found herself asking, "If ya don't mind my curiosity, how did you join the crew?"

*Lily fended off another blow from Barbossa and spoke while keeping her attention on Barbossa*
"got in a bar fight, and Jack happened to see me come out on top, so I joined his crew, about, couple years ago." Lily said, and hissed as Barbossa got in a nick on her arm. She growled and kept talking*
"an' yer part o' the crew now, I'm sure Mr. Turner won't mind." She said as she crashed her sword into Barbossa's. "Jack's got a habit of taking on new crewmen or women every so often. an' as he found you, unless you want to leave, I think we're keepin' you."
*Lily blocked, and could tell Barbossa was either going to get tired or do something desperate. Worriedly she pressed on, figuring if she could help Eric and Jack long enough they might have a chance of getting Evelyn safely out*
