*Eric threw his arms about her and returned the kiss, making it passionate though he knew it wouldn't last long. Their reunion had been bitter sweet really. It was what he had needed to lift him up and keep him going, but he knew his whole world was about to collapse again.
As they pulled apart two familiar figures rushed in and before Eric even had the chance to glare at the man who had nearly killed him before he was tackled to the ground. The bruise upon his back throbbed as he hit the floor and he cried out.* Get off me you bastard! You won't have Evelyn. *He hissed, managing to punch the man.
When he heard Evelyn scream out his attention diverted to her and he saw what Selina was doing to her. His eyes filled with sadness for Evelyn but as another punch landed on his jaw he brought his attention back to Michael. Pure anger was surging through him now and even if they managed to get Evelyn away from him, he'd be damned if they'd get to keep her.* You'll be in Hell before you ever get the chance to kill her. *Eric growled, spitting in the mans face as they wrestled upon the floor.
Erics strength was already giving out and his arms shook as he tried to force the man off him. He gave Evelyn a quick, appologetic look knowing he wasn't going to be able to stop her from being taken.* I'll find you, Evelyn. You'll be okay. *He called out as he tried wrapping his hands about Michaels neck.*

(All right...I'm gonna let Tobbs pull Jack away so Barbossa and Evelyn can try and carry out said sacrific.....and we'll jump in..but might be best to separate groups for a small while...don't worry Evy, we've not forgotten you)
::Jack yelped as he was pulled away first by Tobbs and he shot her a look that asked; ' are you insane?' without words.::
::Then the natives. Jack blinked as he got onto the thing they were carrying....and blinked even more when the man mentioned to words "god and goddess" and indicated that he clearly thought Tobbs and himself were said beings::
::Jack eyed Tobbs quizzically, then looked that the man who spoke English:: "Umm...all right then....well see....we got some friends....who are...not all godly...and all that....and right now....well we need to rescue them.....er...savvy?"
::Jack had fallen into his habit of using his hands to speak....no doubt it looked as odd if not odder to the natives......then it did to his crew....::
"So....can ye help us there mate?"

When Jack was pulled away from Barbossa by Tobbs, Roux took over. He used his sword as best as he could, but it was no use as Evelyn was already getting dragged away.
"Bloody pirates!" Roux said to himself and backed away, watching Barbossa run away, and he frowned. Wonderful. He looked around. Luis was dead and Eric was strangling Michael. And Jack and Tobbs were gone.
Curiously Roux eyed the area. Where had they gone? He turned around and looked over the crew. "anyone seen Jack or Tobbs?" He asked.

Tasha looked at Avery, she was glad he readily forgave her. They followed Selina and Micheal and walked through the waterfall. She waws soaking when she came out on the otherside. Her clothes were sticking to her, but it felt good to be cold. She agreed with Avery that they think Barbossa, but before they had time to find the captain Avery called out 'Ry'.
Tasha turned around, wondering who he was calling. Suddenly a young girl rushed up and jumped on Avery. Tasha was slightly taken aback, wondering who the girl was. Maybe Tasha had misunderstood Avery's intentions.
Tasha didn't have anymore time to think about it. Someone from Jack's crew was rushing at her and she had to quickly perry and thurst. She kicked the body back. She looked around for some more of Jack's crew, but couldn't stop looking back at Avery.

Avery stared at his sister for a long moment, finally he just picked her up in a bone crushing hug again. He kissed her forhead and then set her down again, a huge smile on his face despite her questioning. He was oblivious to the world, but pulled her a few feet from the on going fight around them.
His mind scrounged up everything he hand in his pack. Suddenly, he remembered and his smile widened. "Come on, I've got some tea, we'll make that and I'll fill you in." He put an arm around her shoulder and walked her further away from the fight. Sitting down, he pulled two mugs and tea packets out of the small pack he carried. He handed one of each to his sister, before pulling his canteen out. "We'll have to drink it cold, it would take too long to heat up the water and I don't have enough for that."
She nodded and swiped the canteen out of his hand pouring both of them water. While she worked his eyes scanned the area around them. They fell on Tasha as she was looking back at him, hurt and confusion plain in her eyes. He didn't understand and looked at her questioningly, until Rhys pulled him out of his thoughts with her voice, "Tea's done."

Tasha continued fighting off pirates, occasionally looking back at Avery. He was now sitting down next to the girl drinking...tea. Tasha turned to the man she was fighting. Don't pirates drink rum? Aye miss...the' do...but 'on't ye 'orry...onl' ye're wounds 'ill be drinkin' rum when 'm done wit ye. With that the pirate lunged at Tasha, slicing her side. Tasha growled with pain, but continued fighting. She did not want Avery to see her hurt. She did not need his help.

*Maria panted and backed away from the scene. Roux had then asked where Jack and Tobbs had gone. She hadn't payed attention* " No.." * She said in response*

Mark wanted to do something about the fighting for the dagger...he also realized his shot did nothing. Plus the death of Luis seemed nothing to the crew of the damned. He suddenly became furious. He decided it was best if he stepped out of the scene until he was called for. He didn't want to kill anyone else, unless he had to. He knew if he fought another of the damned he would kill them too. So he backed off and kept his sights on those that threatened his friends. If it got out of hand he would shoot.

(Bwuahahahaha)
*Tobbs watched as Jack tried to speak with the native on helping them with Barbossa, and watched his hands move with amusement. She was worried about the others, really worried, but she had a feeling they'd be safe...at elast for now....so they'd have to convince these nutters to help them soon. And perhaps Jack's just coming out with it could work. But when Tobbs scanned the audience he was addressing...*
*Well, everyone had stopped. The dancing people, the fruit people, the scholars and priest guys and young celebrating children and everyone had just stopped as he began to speak. They seemed like they were amazed by his words, and by how he was communicating with his hands. By the end of his questioning the man who spoke English, everyone burst out in cheer and praise, and about all the girls who seemed not to be married were giggling and blushing and whispering.*
*At this Tobbs raised a brow and eyed them, giving them a fake polite smile, but adding a hint of triumph in it as she scooted closer to Jack and slung her arm around his, and while not facing him but rather standing right next to him, she still managed to squeeze out any previous distance.*
*But after a few seconds, this new older scholar man had wlked up and was laughing and all smiles, keeping his eyes glued on her. And suddenly, she was pulled apart from Jack a bit, which made her grow nervous. Well, pretty dang nervous. It was one thing to fight next to Jack against a city full of people, but alone wouldn't seem so much easier...*
*Zimbabba, the one who spoke Englihs, and the first scholar they had met, eyed Jack with a gracious smile and an honoring air of appreciation.*
"We know of these ones spoken of....we will send our finest men out to aid...but the time will soon come for such things...for now, Zepulesh Predona enzi bon credie!"
*The people all cheered again, and he nodded his head to them as everyone who had paused resumed their previous dancing, eating, skipping, hopping, and otherwise celebrating ways. The man looked to Jack and pointed up towards the temple doors humbly, and with respect.*
*Pretzeb, the other older scholar who'd been staring at Tobbs since the time he arrived, edged towards her as if ready to assist.*
"Um...right...so why do ya think we're go-...I mean, 'ow'd you see passed our....deceptiveness? We tried to fool you with simplicity...but erm....'ow'd you guess it was us?"
OH Zippara, how could we mistake you when you wear your golden mane? It brings us the sun here..."
*She blinked and eyed ehr hair. Then it suddenly hit ehr. She was the ONLY one with golden-ish hair here. Everyone else had dark hair. She was more amused by this and looked over to Jack as these ladies started adorning her hair very carefully with sweet and fragrant flowers.*
"Oi Jack....seems you've got competition now that I'm being treated like a goddess 'ere....literally speaking, of course..."
*She smirked, but blinked as she saw all these women dash up to Jack and swarm him with pats and rubs and giggles and everything there was that could be taken as flirting. Pushing away from where she was, she marched into the crowd of ladies and stood back by Jack, giving them that mocking triumphant smile as they muttered something in their native tongue.*
*But no time for chit chat. They were soon being brushed up into this temple, and when they were in there, and everyone else (it could have the entire city in there in just the hallway) too, Tobbs blinked at what she saw. She looked to Jack. Blinked again. Then just blinked again.*
<Tobbsy Edit: (meep alright jack, you wanna add some creativity to this madness, go ahead, left it open for ya ^.^) >

Post by Selina on Sept 30, 2004 23:13:33 GMT -5
Selina crushed Evelyn's ankle under her foot violently and as Eric seemed to be fighting back and actually holding his own, Selina lifted a brow. It was a rarity to see anyone even stand a chance with Michael, but she knew there was something more desperate driving the man and that alone would keep him coming for them. "We have to settle this..." Selina said as she looked Eric and Michael over. Then her emerald eyes turned to Evelyn. "Ready to die?" Selina asked her as she bent over, ready to take up Evelyn by her hair.
Just then however, Evelyn kicked out hard with her good foot, causing Selina to yelp in pain and then pull back her leg. Evelyn had kicked her right in the shin, midway between the kneecap and her ankle. "Gah! You STUPID wench!" Selina growled as she grabbed Evelyn by the collar and began dragging her away quickly. "Enough...this has gone on far too long." Selina muttered as she pulled Evelyn away.
"Hold him off Michael! Just a few moments now..." Selina said with an evil grin as she dragged Evelyn towards the temple that did not lay far from her. Her eyes turned to witness a swarm of natives pass, each of them completely overtaken by the sight of something or someone in the midst of their crowd, Selina struggled on, dragging Evelyn's weakened body towards the temple.
Sliding her rather roughly up the steps to the temple she found the alter she had been hoping to lay eyes on. "The dagger of Curunin." Selina said with an evil smirk on her face. It seemed as if there were gaurds here at some time...judging by a half eaten banana and some fruits laying about the temple near the doorway, but she supposed the distraction outside lured them away. With some difficulty, Selina managed to shove Evelyn upon the altar and frantically searched for the legendary weapon whose power would be unleased once it touched the blood of another and in this case it would be Evelyn's...

*Michael rolled his eyes at Eric, gritting his teeth as the other punched him in the face.*
"Too late to save that! We've already had Evelyn for the past day or two! Some protector you are!"
*Using the diverted attention to his advantage, he slammed a good punch across Eric's jaw, but being rather infuriated when his face was spit upon.*
"And you'll be dying to go there before I'm through with you, scum!"
*he angrily pushed against Eric as the man resisted him, feeling a bit weak himself from all the fighting he'd done before hand. His hand throbbed from the sword wound it had received by Jack, and he surged with revenge.*
"She'll never be okay again, filth bag! And when her blood's stained against that altar, I'll be sure to drag you there and elt you wallow in it before I finish with you!"
*He loved using words of threats and that stung deep in people's hearts. He knew this would. He choked a bit as he felt his neck being pushed against by Eric's arms, and he struggled to get free. Slamming his elbow into Eric's stomach, he backed away and caught his breath, smirking when Eric realized Evelyn ahd been dragged away to the temple by now.*
"Want to watch ehr die? Or wait until AFTER Selina finishes her off?"

((I'm going to be gone this weekend so if you need me anyone can role play me.))
Tasha watched as Selina and Micheal moved towards a sort of door. Evelyn popped into her mind and Tasha ran after Selina. She hadn't been paying attention to her surrounds and was suddenly stopped by one of Jack's crew. She tried to dodge him, but he sliced her arm. She softly screamed in pain. Her and her arm now felt as if they were on fire and she nearly fell to the floor. She tried to fight the man best she could, but he had nearly finished her off when one of Barbossa's crew stepped in and began fighting him off. Tasha opened her mouth to thank the pirate, but didn't have time to before she blacked out.

::Jack blinked at this announcement but wasn't to be comforted just yet:: "My friends...our friends...you'll bring them here? safe and sound then? savvy?"
::and then there were an awful lot of ladies flirting rather openly. Jack grinned wildly, then grew damn worried Tobbs might actually take a swing at one of them....::
::He slipped closer to Tobbs then and looked up at said temple, curious really::
"So...hrm....right ye saw through the Golden Goddess' disguise...urm..how'd ye guess it was me....?" Jack asked, and moved a bit closer to Tobbs, eyeing the nearby soliders with nervous eyes. One wrong move and they were dead::
::If he could figure out what these natives worshipped him for it'd be easier to play the part.....and stood up straighter, attempting regallity::

*Eric felt his jaw clench and he swallowed hard at Michaels comment about how well he had protected Evelyn. That sentence alone hurt him deeper then anything else the man could ever do to him, mainly because Eric believed him fully. But none the less he wouldn't let this man get the better of him. He wanted desperatly to look over and see what was happening to Evelyn but he couldn't afford the risk, not now.
Eric glarred at him and shook his head.* I was just thinking the same thing about you, bloody bastard. *He sneered, struggling beneath the weight of Michael who was slightly bulkier than him. At his comment about Evelyn, Eric growled angrily, his veins surging with hatred and vengence for this man. Michael was a walking evil and Eric wanted nothing more then to rid the Earth of him.
As Eric strangled him he was suddenly elbowed in the stomach and he let out a sort of half groan half cry as he lost his grip around the mans neck. That was when he realized Evelyn was gone and he sat up with a start, his heart sinking to the pit of his stomach, his breath catching in his throat.* EVELYN! *He screamed out, horrified. He squeezed his eyes shut for a moment before opening them again and wearily rising to his feet. He swayed a bit and his flickering brown eyes landed on Michael.* What I want is to have you watch as Evelyn finishes off Selina, and then I can take care of you. *He snickered and lashed out again, twisting Michaels arm behind his back as Eric squeezed the wounded hand with all the strength he could muster up.* You will NOT kill her. *He stated in a low, slow tone. Now he had to find a way to get to Evelyn before something happened to her.*

Post by Evelyn on Oct 2, 2004 2:21:12 GMT -5
Evelyn looked around a bit wildly. Her eyes went in and out of focus. All Eve could tell was she was out of the old home where Eric had been and in some new surrounding. "Eric?" she asked a bit weakly. She swallowed with some difficulty but shook her head. There was no time for weakness, although even now that was all Evelyn felt. When would it end? Couldn't she and Eric just be left alone?
Evelyn turned her face to stare at Selina, she had been busily rummaging through something, and as Eve attempted to move, her ankle throbbed wildly again, and she clenched her teeth. Sweat accumulated in beads upon her soft brow, and she sighed heavily. Staring up at the heavily adorned ceiling, things went out of focus again and her name was called. It had been Eric's voice who had uttered her name and she closed her eyes. "Gah...bloody 'ell...this isn' how 'm supposed ta go." Evelyn muttered as she shook her head.
Then, Eve's eyes opened abruptly and she stared upwards at Selina who stood over her with a dagger in her hands. 'Dagger...pointing at me? This can' be good.' Eve thought as Selina lifted the dagger high into the air. Evelyn's heart raced, and just as the dagger came plunging down Evelyn rolled off of the altar, falling hard onto the gold, stone floor. Her cries were stifled as she bit her lip and she suddenly reached for Selina's ankle, pulling her down with a great yank. The dagger fell to the ground and Evelyn was able to lay in a punch before she scrambled for the weapon.
Evelyn was going all out at this point. She would be damned if she would go down as a bloody sacrifice to at Selina's unworthy hands. "Ye scruvy wench." Evelyn growled as she grabbed the dagger, kicked back with her good leg, landing a kick in Selina's chest making her crash back, and turned. "Couldn' take me down even with me bein' an invalid, could ye?" Evelyn managed to say with a sly smile before she sunk the blade into Selina's shoulder.
That was enough to make Selina immobile for several minutes, she knew that much. As Evelyn made to hop away on her one good leg she heard Selina's slurs and words coming in hateful shouts. "YOU INSULANT, PIECE of..." Evelyn blocked it out then. Instead, she leaned against the doorway of the temple. Looking up the golden paved road she spotted a crowd and had caught a glimpse of Tobbsy and Jack being carried off somewhere. She needed their help. Looking to Eric she knew he couldn't hold Michael off himself.
Then with a last attempt at catching his attention, Evelyn shouted out to Michael, hoping he would turn away from Eric for a moment and that Eric would take advantage of the distraction she created. "OY! ERIC MATE! I's done! I finished Selina off!" An evil smirk crossed Evelyn's face as she attempted to make closer to the two men.
If Michael came after her, hopefully Eric would react quick enough, and smartly enough, to take him down before he reached her. If he didn't she was dead on the spot, either way, Eric would survive, and she was satisfied with that thought, although she herself would like it if she lived...
