*Eric placed his hand upon hers as she caressed his cheek though he frowned as he noticed she hadn't gotten much sleep last night. It bothered him greatly that she still had her nightmares, he wondered if it would always be like that. As she kissed him and then started to bite her nails he pulled her hands from her face and grinned.* I need to let Elinor know I'm leaving and then go get my things from my house *He answered, smiling as she said she was joining him no matter what.
He was glad, he wanted her company while he was in Port Royal. He laughed a little when she said she didn't want to be there long. Frankly he didn't want to either, the faster he got his stuff and left the happier he would be. She lifted him to his feet and he slipped his hands around her sides, smiling down at her. He held her tighter as she kissed him strongly and closed his eyes, even as she parted from him.
Slowly they opened again and he sighed contently.* I'd love that, I don't want to go back out there without you. I'll wait for you on the docks. *He said, kissing her again, finding it difficult to actually let her leave. As she did however he walked out into the wall and watched her until she slipped into her own cabin. He smiled happily and headed up on deck. As his feet landed on the docks below he suddenly felt someone hugging him tightly from behind. He raised a brow and spun around only to find Elinor smiling at him brightly.* Oh, Eric! You did come back! I knew you'd come back for me. Im glad you finally figured out that Evelyn lass is no good for you.[/color] *She said, reaching out and fixing a few of his buttons that he had messed up on.
He coughed and shifted akwardly then she hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek. This bothered him greatly and he gently pushed her back and shook his head.* I did come back Elinor but not for you. I came back to get my things. *He stated. Elinor frowned and looked at him sadly.* I...I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. Tell me you aren't leaving with that woman![/color] *He exclaimed. Eric stared at her a long moment.* Actually, Elinor I am. *He said. Elinor laughed.* No you're not, Eric. You promised you would come back for me, and honestly I think we are meant to be together. Don't you want to be with me?[/color] *She asked. Eric let out a heavy sigh and rubbed the back of his neck.
He was right, she was going to make this difficult.* I said I was coming back Elinor, I didnt necessarily say for you. And yes, I'm leaving. I love Evelyn, Ive loved her now for over a year but like an idiot I let her go. I THOUGHT I'd be better suited with a woman like you but when Evelyn came back I realized she was my match. Im sorry Elinor but I dont want to be with you. I'll only be happy now if I spend my life with Evelyn. You want me to be happy right? *He asked. Elinor frowned and crossed her arms, tipping her nose in the air.* She won't make you happy Eric. You'll see! Where is she? I want to give her a piece of my mind, even though she really only deserves a slap for stealing you from me.[/color] *She hissed.
Eric rolled his eyes.* She couldn't have stolen me from you because you never even had me. *He muttered, turning his back on her to wait for Evelyn to come down. He would NEVER hit a lady, but if Evelyn hit her (and frankly he hoped she would) he wasn't going to stop her.*

::Jack eyed Tobbs a moment then kissed her:: "I think I can deal with that...I am Captain Jack Sparrow..."
::as if to prove this point Jack traced a finger up her neck playfully. Just enough to be suggestive without really saying much:: "The real question is are ye going to be able to handle me, luv?"
::He quirked an eyebrow. It was a serious question. He'd loved the mother of his twins, Katrina...but she couldn't handle him being at Sea...and she'd never come with him.....in truth it was something he'd feared and he grew tense, waiting::

Evelyn headed to her cabin and gathered a few things. She found herself her corset and dressed herself quickly. The sooner she went out and joined Eric the better. She didn't want him to meet up with that woman all on his own. Knowing Eric, he'd probably stand there like an idiot and would endure her insults. Evelyn would be damned if she would. She pulled out a good sash, one of a deep green color, tied her corset, consisting of a deep velvet red. Then once her boots were on she half limped up on the decks of the Pearl.
Her leg still bothered her greatly and Evelyn cringed everytime she took a step but she would endure it to be by Eric's side today. He would need it. Even though Eric could be a tough one at times, she knew that he'd never sink as low to hit a lady, but she'd be glad to do him the favor.
Looking downward at the docks, she spotted him and smiled. His blonde locks setting him apart from the rest and she made towards him. Just as she passed a few naval officers Evelyn blocked her face from their view with her hand and then spat in their direction as they headed away. "Bloody navy..." she muttered. The morning was a crisp and bright one. Many people were already bustling about but the nippy air had clearly done its part in keeping some indoors for the early stages of this morning.
As she neared Eric she heard a shrill voice that caused Evelyn to cringe. Elinor...
Evelyn's face grew warm at her comments and she glared at her. Her eyes narrowing and her warm honeyed eyes giving off a bit of a hateful flicker. "Why that bloody, son of a sea dog, wench..." Evelyn began to mutter as she made her way towards them, but then paused upon hearing Eric's responses. At his last comment Evelyn beamed proudly and crossed her arms across her chest.
Then she strolled up to them both and hooked an arm around Eric's. "Eric luv, good ta see yer takin' care of business." She said with a sly grin. There was a bit of a shriek and Evelyn spun around on her heel and lifted a curved brow. "Oh...er...who are YOU again?" Evelyn asked with a sly grin stretching across her face. Her bitter, sarcastic side was showing up quite nicely at the moment.
Elinor glared at Evelyn with a deep, singing hatred. She knew there was something between her and Eric and in a way, deep down, she felt something might alter his decision to come back. She shook her head. "Someone you'll NEVER be that's for certain!" Elinor growled at her.
Evelyn glanced at Elinor briefly, scanning her from head to toe. "Really...? An' that's a bad thin'?" Evelyn laughed. She stepped in front of Eric, pulling away from him and crossing her arms across her chest, looking her over and shaking her head. "Frankly, I thank the good Lord ev'ry day 'm not you mate..." Evelyn said with a snide grin and giving a sound nod.
Elinor glared at her, looked to Eric, and then back at Evelyn again. "You know what YOU are?" Elinor stated angrily, sticking out her finger at Evelyn. "YOU are nothing but a low, vile, distasteful, foul whore! The only REASON Eric stays with YOU is perhaps because he can get from you something that it would take RESPECTABLE women FAR longer to give away." Elinor stated coldly.
Evelyn burned and balled her fists but stared around. "Too many Naval officers...too many Naval officers..." she muttered to herself.
"And YOU! ERIC!" She began as she attempted to push past Evelyn towards Eric.
"oh NO! Yer not bloody gettin' ta him." Evelyn stated coldly. "Unless yer thinkin' on havin' a rather large headache afterwards mate, savvy?" she asked her shoving Evelyn a bit, sending her almost toppling to the ground. It was almost sad really, and Evelyn hated picking on those weaker than her. There was nothing just in it and she attempted to keep to herself. "C'mon Eric...let's go mate..." she stated with a heavy sigh, rolling her eyes, then taking him by the arm.
Elinor's jaw dropped looking after Evelyn and Eric and she screamed. "You two will FAIL! NOTHING good will come of you two! She will NEVER provide you a proper family Eric! AND the child you DO BEAR will be nothing more than the son of a..." Just then however Elinor fell back, sprawling to the ground, her eyes wide and her jaw open. Blood flowed from her nose and her head pounded.
"Ye bloody WENCH! Don' ye DARE talk ta us like that!" Evelyn shouted at her. Her hand had collided with Elinor's face, finally putting her in her place. She was ready to pounce on her again but by then Elinor was shouting for assistance and Evelyn bit her lip in frustration. The Naval forces would be round soon enough. "Ye go ahead and call that bloody NAVY! They can' save ye! I swear I'll tear ye ta bloody pieces!" Evelyn shouted and spat at her before she was pulled away and she turned back to Eric, ready to follow him out of this whole ordeal.

*Tobbs rolled her eyes a bit and shook her head with a laugh. She'd tease him as much as she could now.*
"Is tha' right?"
*She kissed him back, and little tingles began again when he began to trace a finger aorund her neck. Neck was a vulnerable spot for her. And Jack'd mastered the art of getting to her.*
*Sensing him tense up, she blinked and eyed him a long moment, studying his eyed and face. Then, guessing his thoughts, sighing and shrugging, she kissed him again, this time rather gently, sweetly, just to let him know it was alright. And then, getting a cocky and playful edge again, she spoke up.*
"'andle you, eh? Well, I think..."
*She edged closer.*
"By...oh....I'll give it a year maybe....just to go easy on you..."
*She smirked and brushed her lips against his, pulling away before she or he could start up another kiss. Drawing back a bit again to speak, she finished with a bit more confidence in the fact that itd be true.*
"I'll 'ave you under my infinite control!"
*She laughed a bit and gave him a look that only said 'definitely gonna be one 'eck of a year'*

*Eric smiled brightly as Evelyn arrived and slipped her arm through his. He felt a lot better having her by his side now, and honestly was more than curious to see what would happen between her and Elinor. He knew it would be a damned miracle if nothing happened, both women hated one another too much to let their encounter slide by without so much as a word or a shove.
His curiosity didnt have to wait long however. Within moments the two women were arguing back and foreth and with every word that slipped from Elinors tonuge Eric grew more heated. He couldn't believe the things that she was saying to Evelyn. His jaw clenched, he hated the way Evelyn was treated in places like this, it wasn't fair. She was a wonderful person, one of the most amazing he had ever met and yet it seemed the "proper folk" just weren't willing to give her a chance.
Eric couldnt help but smile at the comebacks Evelyn was thinking up. He loved her wit, hardly anyone could do better then her. Elinor however was terrible at it, considering she didnt really have to use it that much. Then suddenly the woman called Evelyn a vile, distatseful, foul whore and every muscle in Erics body tensed. He glarred at her as she spoke to him.* oh SHUT UP, Elinor. Evelyn is more of a woman then you will ever be and you know why? She's herself, she doesn't conform for anybody. *He stated heatedly, stepping up to the woman. Elinor blinked at him and by now she was nearly in tears as she was dabbing at the bloody nose Evelyn had given her with a hankerchief.
Elinor had been a friend of his for many years but he had only put up with her because she was a close companion of Ashleys. Now there was no reason for her to be in his life and he couldn't wait to leave her behind.* Evelyn and I aren't the perfect squeaky clean couple, no. But I love her anyways and you know what else, she loves me too and thats all that matters. And for your information she'll make a damn fine mother someday and that child will be lucky to have her. *Eric said, slipping his arm about Evelyns waist.* And just so you're clear on this, Elinor, Im not with her because I can get some quick action. *He began and then he smiled down warmly at Evelyn, his eyes gazing at her lovingly.* Im with her because if I wasn't, I may as well be dead. *He said. Elinor sat there a moment and then suddenly started calling for the Navy.
Eric groaned and rolled his eyes then tugged at Evelyns sleeve.* Come on, lets get to my house. *He said but just as they started off he stopped her.* Oh, Elinor! *He called. Elinor sniffed and looked at them angrily. Quickly he grabbed Evelyn and kissed her deep and passionate for a long moment before pulling away and grabbing her hand. He smiled at her, kissed her forehead again and without another look back at Elinor led Evelyn back to his house.*

::Jack smirked, then reached over to ruffle her hair just enough to annoy her, and smiled:: "Come on....Let's go see to it that Will and Elizabeth get home....and I need to go give Norrington a good scare or ten....."
::He just threw on a clean shirt and basically looked his typically unkepmt essentric swaggering self. He smiled at her, and offering his hand traipsed out on deck jauntily as if they'd not just survived one hell of a ride::
::he could see some of the crew had already disembarked and he smiled. Well....another adventure over....another one he was sure would start soon enough...but to more basic matters. He went a sought out Will, still holding Tobbs' hand tightly in his own::
"Right then mate....ye get enough gold to buy out the Port?" He asked playfully. Then he reached into his coat pockets. There was something he felt Will and Elizabeth might want. It was a blue silk pouch. Gold was a wonderful thing...but diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires and pearls were worth far more.::
::And that's what was in the bag. A shower of glittering gems...and black pearls.....Jack smirked.:: "It's for you...I know ye got gold..but.....well call it a gift from me......" He smiled at them.:: "An'....sorry I nearly killed ye a few times....." He added with a laugh.:::
"Besides...with that...lil bundle of screaming joy soon to come ye might need it....." Jack smiled at them both. There were a few things from the El dorado stash he probably wouldn't keep. Then where was the fun in going treasure hunting if you had enough?::
::He'd most likely divide it up with the crew, keep enough to do some repairs on the Blac Pearl. That was all he wanted. A sea worthy ship, his crew and Tobbs......and rum...lots and lots of rum........he'd keep enough to buy out a tavern in Tortuga....plenty of rum::
:;With a flurishing of his hand and a nod in the direction of the Fort he added:: "Ye think we should go pay a visit to the good Comodore?" He asked nobody in particular::

Tasha lied down on her bed for a little while, but grew hot and took off her blouse. She lied back down, now only in a corset and skirt. She sighed and strechted out on the bed.
Tasha played with the braclet a bit, but put it on her dresser. She was nearly asleep when Avery knocked on the door. She murmured, inviting him in. She realized that she was a bit indecent and pulled up her sheets to her chin.

Avery opened the door at the sound of her voice, his apology was on the tip of his tongue. His mouth opened and he was ready to speak, but he froze. His sorceress was laying under the covers, in what seemed like very little clothes.
He could not stop his eyes from following the curve of her body under the blankets. For a moment he was captivated by her, unable to move. She shifted slightly under the covers and he snapped back into reality.
Blinking hard, he forced his eyes to meet her own blue ones. His eyes dropped to the floor after a moment and he mumbled, "I just wanted to say sorry fo' ea'lieh. I just don't know what's happening." It was hard for a man to admit his confusion, and especially hard for Avery at that moment.

Evelyn looked at Eric and lifted her brows a bit. He had come on rather strong, attacking Elinor in a rather different way but she smirked. Her hand was aching a bit from the collision. She had given the woman a shot that would send her down that was certain, but she had held back a bit. No use in getting arrested the moment you make land after you know you're filthy rich.
At this her thoughts turned to El Dorado briefly and to the gold she had seen being carried aboard the ship in tribute to Tobbs from the natives. "Bless tha' woman and her blondeness..." Evelyn murmered slightly and gave a small laugh. Eric's heated tone soon drew her back to the current situtation and she blinked at Elinor. The woman looked at her with a venemous hatred and Evelyn sighed. As Eric looked down at her warmly, Evelyn smiled in return and soon was being led away from her and her calls for the Naval forces.
Then he stopped her and kissed her passionately, Evelyn blinked, looking to Eric once more before they headed off once again towards his home. Evelyn didn't even give Elinor a glance. She ran along with Eric, clutching his hand firmly and then went for the hilt of her blade when she suddenly noticed...she had none!
"Bloody 'ell mate! We've got a bleedin' crisis!" Evelyn shouted as she stopped dead in her tracks, pulling Eric to a complete stop. Eric stopped and looked at her bewildered and a bit concerned. "I DON' HAVE A BLOODY BLADE!" she cried and frowned. She gave a bit of a growl and almost made to head to the blacksmiths' shop when Naval officers shouts could be heard and she changed her mind.
"On...the other hand...we COULD jus' pick one up later..." Evelyn said giving a nervous laugh, grabbing Eric by the arm a bit, and then sprinting to his home. At this point Eric could pass off for a regular man still...besides the fact that he wasn't all that cleanly shaved. Yet Evelyn was adorned with her usual earrings, bangles, and even a small...well...rather huge tacky looking ruby necklace and looked as if she had collided with a gypsy wagon.
Heading into his house quickly and shutting the door behind her she gave off a sigh of relief. Her honeyed eyes looked out the window and then looked back around the dark and rather dingy looking home. It was rather quaint really, and it wasn't much...the mess they had left when they departed from Port Royale was still clinging to the home, but it felt comfortable. "Ye know Eric...maybe we should keep this place...I mean...we have the money ta keep it up really...an'...well...ye never know when we migh' need it." She stated, looking around curiously at the home.

Tasha slightly grinned at Avery's obvious uneasiness. She was confused about his apology, maybe she was getting the wrong idea about him but...she doubted it.
She grinned again. She throw back the covers and got out of her bed. Avery, ye don't 'ave anythin' to be sorry for...unless 'm gettin' the wrong idea about...well...us.
There was true concern in her eyes. She stood on her tiptoes and held his hand in her cheek. She pulled his head down towards hers and kissed him long and passionately. She let go with reluctance and looked into his eyes.
Now do you really want me to apologize for that?

He couldn't help it. He had a hard enough time restraining himself when she took the covers off, but when his blue-eyed sorceress placed his hand on her cheek and kissed him he lost all of his control.
She barely had time to finish her question before he pulled her against him. His free arm wrapped its self around her tiny waist, bringing her as close as possible. His other hand moved from her cheek to entwine with her blonde hair. Their lips met for the briefest of moments, before Avery's lips began to explore the rest of her face. Butterfly kisses were sprinkled across her cheeks, down her neck, and over eyes.
The arm around her waist moved swiftly and began to untie the backof her corset. Both mind and body had been lost in the pleasure and happiness of the moment. That is until Avery finally realized what he was doing.
The tie was dropped like a hot coal and the red-head moved away, his eyes wide and fearful. He watched her carefully, judging every movement. "How do you do this to me?" he demanded after a moment of silence. "Are you a sorceress to have put a spell over me?" In truth, in his mind he called her such, but it was mostly used as an endearing term, something that brought her close to his heart.
"Why can't I control myself around you?" he asked. His mind couldn't comprehend why this happened, and he was beginning to believe he might need to stay away from his sorceress for her own safety.

Tasha moaned slightly as Avery kissed her face. She slightly gasped as he began to untie her corset, though her gasp soon turned into a grin. Ye move fast don't you? She pulled the door closed behind him, she wasn't sure what was going to happen, but she didn't want the whole crew to see.
Sudenly Avery stopped, dropping the strings of her corset. He backed away from her and began questioning her. A sorceress? I don't believe in magic. Do what? I...I Her corset was falling down from the untied strings and she tried to hold it up so as not to...reveal anything.
Control yourself? I'm confused Avery I...could ye at least retie my corset!

Avery nodded mutely at her request and stepped forward. He gentlly took hold of the strings of Tasha's corset and started lacing it back up. His hands worked quickly, with much practice. Too many nights of having to help his sister. However, his mind wasn't on the task and it caused him to stumble, his hands jumpling the strings up.
The red-head's mind was focused on the curve of her neck, the curl in her blonde hair and the beautiful blue eyes that were hidden from him at the moment. The minute his hand brushed across her bare skin he came alive. Most of his control was lost once again. Only this time it was slightly different. The tingles that went up his fingers were pleasurable and he had always liked the way she tasted and knew he enjoyed these moments deep down.
His lips brushed against the base of her neck and slowly started making a path up to her ear, while one hand slowly started undoing the work he had acheived on the trouble-some corset.

Tasha waited, slightly awkwardly as he retied her corset. His hands kept trembling and she noticed him staring at her neckline, or was it her breast? His hands suddenly slipped a touched her skin.
It was as if he had lost control again and began untying her corset, yet again and kissing her neck. She moaned slightly and threw her arms around his neck.

The trip home to Port Royal was a fairly uneventful one for himself. He was loaded with much excitement upon the site of Port Royal.
"YES! FINALLY I'M THROUGH WITH THIS MESS!"
He yelled out quite happily. When the tiny dot became a huge one he took his first step onto land. He was very happy to be home. He made sure to leave quickly because he wanted to avoid the confrontation with Jack Sparrow He didn't want to have to talk to him for quite some time. Not to say he would never talk to him again...perhaps one day the life of the pirate would strike him again as it had those many days ago. He made his way through the streets of the port town and smiled all the way. He passed his old gun shop and smirked at it. Soon he would have a much larger one with the proper equipment to make weapons of unequaled beauty and perfection. He found his way to his small shack of a house. Something wasn't right. It looked rather quiet inside.
"Were the 'ell is Sam? He is supposed to be watching mother."
Mark said to himself with a rather annoyed expression on his face. He pushed open the door. He sat his bag on the sofa and moved to his mothers room. He swung the door open and fell to his knees. She wasn't there. He had a puzzled look on his face. He looked around with much confusion. Suddenly he looked behind his shoulder...there stood Sam with a look of pure sorrow upon his face.
"I came as fast as I could when I saw the Pearl come into port Mr.Andrews. I wanted to tell you before you found it out yourself."
Sam said as he crumpled his hat in this hands. He walked up to Mark and put his hand on his shoulder.
"She's dead? Wha....When did she pass?"
Mark asked as a tear ran down his cheek. He was suppressing a flood of tears and anger. Why did he leave her to go on such a trip....a trip that had ended so badly for him. He stood up and turned slowly. Sam was struggling for the right words.
"She passed several days ago....she got pretty sick shortly after you left sir...she fought hard...and....and there wasn't much the doc could do for her. She didn't die alone Mr. Andrews....I was there, and you were there in her thoughts, as I am sure she was in yours."
Mark took it all in as best he could. He fell to the floor again and let out a yell and began to cry. Never in his life had he felt so much pain. He was now alone on this world. He hadn't felt such pain in so many years. It was worse than the betrayal on the island....worse than the pungi stick to his side....worse than any pain. He could feel his heart breaking.
"I should never.....ever...have left her. Sam....She depended on me and...I....I let her down..."
He could speak no more....He sobbed for quite some time. Sam stayed by his side to comfort him. Mark was broken and shattered. He finally collected himself and went with Sam to the spot of her burial. It was off in the hills of the island....under a large tree. It overlooked the small town and the port. Mark was a little happier to see where she had been laid to rest.
"The view is beautiful from here. I think she'll like that."
Mark said with a fake smile. It was so much for him to bear. He had grown so close to his mother over the years. When his father and brother were taken from him she was all he had. He looked up to the sky above and scowled.
"She's with God now Mark....she is in a better life."
"God! He has taken everything from me....he has taken my family.....all that I live for. No my friend there is no God."
Mark said as he got up and walked away. It took several years for him to regain his faith in the Lord above. He walked into town and went to a tradeing post that was near the docks. He walked in and traded his gold for money. He was pretty rich now...but he never liked the life of the rich all that much so he put most of it in the bank and used a big portion to build a new shop. Soon it would be complete and he could open the shop he had been wishing for for so long. He purchased a new house that day....he was amazed to get such a fine house. It didn't take long to get his belongings into the new house. By the time he'd finished the house looked quite bare. He soon had that remidied. It wasn't a large house, big enough for himself...but big enough for a family if he had one some day. He sat down in the comfy chair in his study and began to write of his experience as a pirate....the most recent adventure to El Dorado was a book in itself. He came to the spot of his abbandoning...he laughed a bit...he had no idea why...and continued on...For one day he would have his reckoning with Jack Sparrow.
