His arm pulled her closer, as Tasha kissed Avery gently. It had been unexpected, but so was the question she asked after. He rested his forehead against hers, and watched as she drifted off into sleep. "I promise," he whispered kissing the tip of her nose.
He layed awake, for quite some time just gazing at the woman in his arms. She was beautiful, at peace and the tears gone from her face in her sleep. He craddled her in his arms, savoring the moment. He knew that this would be the only time he go to do this. After this he needed to stay away, she needed someone better than him. Someone who could take care of her. Someone to look after her.
His experiences with his brother and sister proved to him that he could not protect her. Just like he could not protect his sister or save his brother. He had tried, he had tried his hardest, but it had not worked. Ryley was gone forever, and Rhys.. something had happened to Rhys, he was not sure what, yet. But something had caused her to run away. Something he had been unable to keep away from her. There was no way he would be able to keep his sorceress safe. And for her own safety he was willing to give her to someone else.
Finally, he started to drift into sleep. One of the most peacefull slumbers he had had since he was a young boy. His other arm moved in his sleep to wrap around the young woman next to him and pull her against his chest.

Tasha's eyes fluttered opened. She wasn't sure how long she had been asleep, but it was now dark outside. She could make out the form of Avery and leaned over him to light a candle. She lied on top of him for a little while, staring down at him.
She then rolled back over so that she was facing him. She was afraid he would leave again if she woke him up. She moved closer to him, so that she could here his heart beating. She inhaled, taking in his scent. He smelled like the ocean and sweat.
She entwined her fingers with his and sighed happily. she lightly kissed his cheek and then pulled the covers closer to her chin, the hair was chilly out on the sea at night.

*Will woke as he felt the ship hault in place. HIs eyes blinked as they adjusted to the bright light that flooded the tiny cabin. He rose and stretched, peering out the port hole. He smiled brightly as the familiar sight of Port Royal loomed up before him beyond the docks. He sat back down on the edge of the bed where Elizabeth was still sleeping soundly and he gently shook her.* Elizabeth, we're back home now. *He said.
She sat up slowly and rubbed her eyes as he kissed her on the forehead. They quickly gathered their things and dressed in appropriate Port Royal garb and hurried out on the decks. A moment later they were approached by Jack and Tobbs who had come together hand in hand. Elizabeth smiled happily at them and Will simply laughed.
He raised his brow as the man stated he had something for him. He took the silk pouch and peeked inside, his eyes growing wide, as did Elizabeths.* Now I think I can buy this whole bloody island *Will laughed, pocketing the pouch before someone else came along and took it. He eye the Captain as the man appologized and then he grinned.* Ah well sometimes its fun to ring deaths doorbell then bolt....though someday I think its gonna catch up to one of us. *He laughed, as did Elizabeth.
Will glanced down at her stomach and sighed happily. Even if he was about to loose out on a good year or so of sleep he still couldn't wait to be a father. He was even happier about the fact that he could give his child the life he never had, a family life in a nice home with nice things. He looked back at Jack and nodded.* Sounds like a good idea to me. *He said, glancing towards the fort.*

Deep down Evelyn was still conflicted about it all, but in the end it was her love for Eric that seemingly won out. She couldn't stand that he could be apart from her. When Eric mentioned they needed to get out Evelyn nodded in agreement. She went towards the curtains and pulled them back a bit, her eyes scanning around the area.
A few had indeed knocked and were entering the home next door to theirs and her heart jumped in her throat but she smiled. She loved the rush of it all and looked around the room. "Ahem...well...we better go now." she stated as she looked over her shoulder at him. "GAH! But I feel so bloody vulnerable without a blade." She said frowning and shaking her head.
She headed towards the window again, looked out of it and then placed a hand upon the doorknob. "Well...here's hopin' we don' get killed." Evelyn smirked. With that Evelyn swung the door open and ran over the threshold. The Naval forces still looked fervently in the next house and Evelyn covered her face with her hand and looked to Eric waving him over quickly. "C'mon Eric! Don' jus' bloody stand there like an idiot!" Evelyn said sternly.
Her eyes turned to the Black Pearl and when Eric reached her side they rushed off. As they headed to the Pearl however, she found herself keeping her distance from him. She figured if she was caught at least only one of them would be hauled away and Eric would be safe. "YOU keep yer distance savvy?" Evelyn told him looking over her shoulder at him and grinning. "Tha' way, if I'm caught, ye can go an' hasten ta my rescue." Evelyn told him with a wink.
She passed over the fine cobblestone streets, weaving her way through the increasing crowd of sailors, buggys, and wagons that came their way along the busy streets.

::Jack grinned widely and smirked as Will spoke::
"Ah well sometimes its fun to ring deaths doorbell then bolt....though someday I think its gonna catch up to one of us."
:::Jack's eyes grew distant for a few seconds:: "Aye....I think it might be me..." He said almost to himself. But he was smiling a second later and giving the fort a wide wild grin::
"Poor ol Norrington.....ye think he'd object if I gave him something from our trip? Or would tha be considered...unlawful for him...?" Jack pondered this out loud. In truth he did have something he'd found that he wanted to give Norrington but he wasn't sure if the commodore would accept::
::With a shrug Jack walked off the Ship heading towards the Fort, a wicked gleam in his eyes::

*Eric laughed at Evelyn and rolled his eyes as she said she felt vulnerable without her blade.* Well look at the bright side, at least they cant get you for being armed right? And besides they wont kill you if you're defensless, they're Naval Officers. *He stated, but inwardly wondered if this was true. He figured she had an infamous face here in Port Royal and was curious if they would simply just take her off to jail or if they would really try to hang her.
Either way he wasn't to thrilled about finding out. As she swung the door open he followed her out, pausing in the street to glance into the next house. As Evelyn yelled at him he looked back at her and took off again, the chest in his arms making it an akward sprint to the ship.
After a while he noticed that she was keeping her distance from him and as he attempted to make his way back over to her she explained to him her reasonings. He went over it in his head, wondering if he should listen. He wasn't thrilled about the idea but he could see the brillance in it and nodded at her.* Alright, and same goes for you! I dont want to spend the night in a cell! *He called with a laugh, nearly tripping over a rock and loosing his grip of the chest. But he quickly corrected himself and took off again.
Soon he could hear a few swift footsteps behind him and he cringed, knowing he and Evelyn had been caught. He caught sites of the docks and noticed that Elinor was gone, but it seemed that the harder he ran the more people got in his way.* Bloody hell people get out of my way! *He cried, ignoring their odd looks.*

Sarah's eyes slowly opened and she yawned. She could tell the boat had stopped moving and quickly got dressed. She ran out of her cabin, to the railing of the deck. She could see Port Royale close by and she could almost make out the Turner's house.
She turned to see Jack, Tobbs, Will, and Elizabeth. She smiled and nearly whispered, Home again. Sarah turned as a tear fell down her face, she wasn't sure if it was because she was sad, or if she was happy. She went to find Maria.
She found them in the kitchens, Maria with some water. We're at Port Royale. Maria, could you pour me some water? Sarah sipped some water before talking again.
Maria, you take care of herself and Rose. Sarah smiled and hugged them both. You both should reconsider staying with us in Port Royale for a while. Sarah slightly laughed, knowing what their answer would be.

Evelyn kept her pace, hearing Eric's deep voice call out to her and she flickered a smile upon her face but kept her distance. The Naval forces were making their way towards the both of them. Deep down, Evelyn knew she would be the one to be taken, besides, Elinor would much rather have it that she alone get taken away and hanged instead of Eric. However they couldn't just run to the Pearl, that would lead them exactly into the hornets nest, and if Jack EVER caught her leading a team of Naval men there she would be dead.
Still, Evelyn was a rogue, an expert in all things mischivious and knew every trick in the book and with that, yanked at Eric's arm and pulled him into the shadows, into a dark alleyway and then leading him away. "Follow me mate..." she called softly at him, taking down dark road and alley until they finally had lost those on their trail.
Looking out at the busy streets ahead of them, Evelyn gave a heavy sigh. "Gah...bloody 'ell, I HATE Port Royale...remind me ta never stop here 'gain Eric, would ye?" Evelyn asked with a small smirk and nudging him in the arm a bit. "Now...ye get back on the ship and I'll go get myself a li'l somethin'..." Evelyn grinned mischiviously shaking a small pouch of coins. "I have ta get my effects intact again luv." Evelyn said, giving him a small kiss on the cheek and then heading away. "I'll meet ye there!" she called.
With that Evy made her final arrangements in Port Royale, only getting a FEW things, namely a very fine cutlass, quite a handsome pistol, and a few handy daggers. They were top of the line...expensive and in excellent condition, but she was willing to pay for it...after all...she literally had a boatload of gold waiting for her anyway.
And so with that, Eve made her way carefully back to the Pearl where she found Eric unpacking his various things in their room and she too made to move her items from her room to his, finally noticing that the necklace he had given her a year ago was missing and frowned.
Yet, as they finally settled in and had a few good laughs in their cabin, Evelyn shrugged. What good was the use of a trinket when she had the real emblem of his love staring right back at her?
So many thoughts ran through her mind, among them doubt weighed heavily. Would they last in this situation? Would Eric hate living out here with her? Would he ultimately hate her for making him live this way? Perhaps she should conform to some of HIS wishes. Evelyn wasn't sure WHAT was to happen with them in the future...all she knew was that either way, good or bad...she wouldn't want to miss a moment of it.

<Please Note: Closing Post for this rpg!>
*Tobbs laughed as she watched Jack begin his way down to Norrington and the fort. What fun watching this would be. Smiling at Will and Elizabeth as they began to head towards home, she walked back beside Jack.*
"You think 'e'll say it's a pleasnat suprise, or just a suprise?"
*She nudged the captain and eyed the fort. This....would be interestin...* ~~~ *The sun was shining down on Port Royale, the day a rather bright and beautiful one. The crew and captain's journey had now come to a close. Their rewards and happiness high, and their outlook on all the changes that had happened so quickly rather pleased, the town had a blissful group to give rest to.*
*But while the journey had ended, new adventures ahead were just to come....and as accomplishment congratulated the happy pirates this time around...who knows what the next one...would bring...*
