Mark smiled as the man came over. At least he didn''t want his blood any more. He took back the pouch and looked at it. Jack shook his hand and thanked him for the idea...he nodded when he was told he could help rebuild the ship. He reached out and grabbed Jack's hand. He placed the pouch in it and closed his hand over the pouch.
"Give this to the crew as soon as you can. I suppose they are pretty scattered right now...if you find Rhys...could you tell her to stop by my house? I need to talk to her it is important."
Mark hardly got the last word out when all of the sudden he was knocked off his feet and felt the air being cut off. He regained himself and noticed it was Tobbs. She was on top of him and she was chokeing him with all she had. He didn't want to hurt her...but he had no choice. He brought his fists together and brought them down on her back. She was stunned...and the wind was knocked out of her...but no more harm was done. He rolled away from her a bit...stood up and gained his breathe. He walked over and helped her up.
"Bleedin' Christ woman! What was that for! Can't you see the Captain and I have come to a truce!?"
He said as he helped her up. He'd never been taken by surpirse that badly. He let out a small laugh as she stood up.
"Are you okay Tobbs? I didn't want to hit you...but you left me no choice...."
Mark asked as he rubbed the back of his neck. It had been a long night indeed...and that day hadn't started out so well...hopefully things would go better now.

The Captain acknowledged her offer and then left to meet Mark. Confidant that nothing would happen between the two unless Mark was completely idiotic and started something, Rhys turned and exited the house. It was morning now and she had been been up for nearly two days with only two hours of sleep.
Perhaps it was the lack of sleep that was influencing her, but she silently prayed that Mark didn't get hurt at all. She found herself thinking of ways to get back at anyone who harmed him. Of course not in violent ways, as much as she secluded herself, she still cared for the crew. She couldn't get rid of the fond memories she had from her first few days with them. They had been the closest thing she had to family since... she left her family. Yet somehow, despite all he had done, she still found herself drawn to Mark.
She wandered down the street, her hands resting on hidden knives as she walked. Yet, Rhys's mind was resting on the image of a certain male. However, a crashing at the end of an alley, made her mind jump back into reality. She cursed herself for drifting and continued on her way. She could never be too careful, not when traveling the streets of Port Royal. The supposed good town. The place where others found safety, she found danger and wished to stay far away.
Footsteps faded away, as she made extra sure not to make a noise. She was nearing the place. Stepping forward into the darkness, she found the 'locked' cellar door. A small yank and the lock opened silently. She rumaged behind a flower pot and found the hinge grease. "Even after so many years, it's still here," she mused quietly. Oiling the hinges, she lifted the door quietly and slipped into the darkness. The building was abandoned, yet it had not become filled with theives. As far as she knew.
A creaking from above, brought her to a pause. There was a reason it wasn't filled with theives. Rumors told of the building being occupied by ghosts. A happy family who refused to leave, when their rent was up. They had died in this house, and to this day protected it from any who wished to live there. She shivered slightly before moving up the stairs.
The image of eyes from the night before flashed through her mind, and she proceeded cautiously. She had a gut feeling that she wasn't alone. She was beginning to belive the stories, but she would not leave, not yet. She had reached the attic, there was light coming from under the door. She pushed it open slightly. Her eyes widened in shock.
Rhys was not alone.

*Eric was walking along swiftly, a thousand different thoughts rushing through his slightly shaking head as his hands thrust in his pockets. A moment later he heard that childish voice again and he stopped quickly, turning on his heel to see Puck hovering in front of Evelyn again. Eric groaned a little. The creature just didn't quite sit right with him, threat or not he still didn't prefer his company.
He stiffled back a laugh as Evelyn snapped at the floating man. You could always count on her to get a point across as quickly and blunt as possible. He laughed again at Emma and Rick but was in the same boat as them. He walked over and stood beside the lot of them, eyeing Puck curiously. It was deffinantly a strange sight to see in Port Royal, something he had never seen before in all the years he lived in the lazy town....or all the years he lived period. So now, why all the sudden, was this thing interfering with them?
Surely it had seen what happened at the docks, it was hard to miss. And yet it was acting as giddy and joyus as anything he had ever seen. Then it answered Rick* Child of Oberon *Eric grunted, rolling his eyes. It all seemed a little obserd to him but he spoke again.* You don't think you're odd? Well if youre a figment of any of OUR minds then...well...that makes you odd. *He grinned...he had to admit all of Jacks crew, including himself were a little out of the norm.
He glanced over at Evy as she came over and stood beside him. Suddenly her garb changed and she was dressed like a fairy. Erics eyes widened and sparkled mischeviously as he grinned. He couldn't help it...it was just a reaction. He swallowed hard.* Damn, Evy. *He said, his eyes still dancing about her. She would absoultley hate this he knew...but he was certainly enjoying it.
She came over and he sighed heavily as she begged him to get her out of these clothes. It was starting to get to him, all the googly eyed looks she was getting from male onlookers. Suddenly Puck appeared again and his words made Erics heart skip a beat.* Don't EVEN think about it. *Eric stated. He was going to be the ONLY one to see her in anything less. He was relieved when her clothes were given back and his own looked brand new.
When he left, Eric glanced over at the other couple with them and smiled a little. The two were a private couple but seemed happy none the less. When they reached the house he made to follow Evelyn into the bedroom but the door was slammed as she changed. Instead he leaned against it, feeling a little akward as he glanced at Emma and Rick again.
A few minuets later when he assumed it was safe to open the door he slipped inside, closing it behind him. He smiled at Evelyn and plopped down beside her with a drawn out yawn. Despite the fact it was growing light out he was still dead tired.* I hate to admit it, Evy but that outfit you had on....that was tempting. I mean if Rick and Emma weren't here right now.... *He grinned, winking at her and nudging her a bit.
Then he yawned again and flopped backwards into the pillows, throwing his arms behind his head as he closed his eyes. Sleep would be a good thing now, though he wondered if it would get a chance to come. He turned over on his side to face Evelyn and scooted closer to her, though his eyes were still shut. It had been something he'd grown used to over the year, always having her next to him when he fell asleep. It had become a routine comfort of sorts.*

*Wills head was pounding, his entire body ached and as his eyes fluttered open he noticed a charred barrel sitting beside him on the edge of the docks. He blinked at it oddly a few times when suddenly he remembered what had happened. Shortly after he had gotten Jack out of the water he had just gotten out of it himself when he was knocked out by the barrel which had flew through the air after the second blast.
Evidently he had missed quite a bit of action. At the moment he was the only one left down on the docks, though he saw Evelyn and Eric up ahead who were apparently being spoken to by a rather strange creature. Will wondered at first if it was all in his head...if that barrel had really done some damage. He shook it away hoping he wasn't crazy and slowly rose to his feet.
His head pounded with every step that he took but he wanted to get back to the Governors house where he assumed Elizabeth would be with baby James. A moment later he came trudging through the door, his hand upon his brow as he glanced around. Swiftly he made his way upstairs and found his wife with their son in her arms and Sarah at her side.
He smiled at Sarah and then hurried over to his family where he kissed Elizabeth lovingly and glanced down at James, stroking the boys hair. He gazed at his son for a long moment before turning his brown eyes up to meet his wifes. He could tell she had been worried about him.* Sorry, Elizabeth. Some debris got the better of me. *He grinned boyishly and then he noticed that both women seemed to have a curious thought on their mind and he glanced between them.* You look like you've seen a ghost. *He laughed a little, still looking them over.*

Evelyn gave a deep sigh as Eric suddenly made his entrance into the room. As he sat next to her and then spoke she smirked slightly once again and shook her head. "Tempting was it?" she asked lifting a brow as she sat there and Eric flopped back onto the bed. "Well...I dunno...I guess I COULD keep that little garment around if ye'd like me too..." Evelyn said with a playful smirk, looking over her shoulder and kicking off the golden slippers from her feet.
"Gah...an' I'm bloody tired...but ta be honest...I doubt we'll be gettin' much sleep for now..." she said with a heavy sigh, slowly allowing herself to lay down on her side, facing the door and with her back to Eric. She sensed him curling towards her and she closed her eyes softly. It was a simple, natural, warm feeling she felt when he did this. Having him seek her out was the most reassuring feeling Evelyn recieved in her life really...and just the fact that nothing had seemingly changed since she had shared all of herself with Eric, made her happier than she ever knew she could be.
"Eric...d'ye think...well...we'll EVER eventually get married?" she asked him, biting her lip a bit but furrowing her brows. "I mean...I know ye said somethin' 'bout it in Mark's house...but...I mean...ye honestly would mate? I mean..." Evelyn began to stutter now and her honey eyes searched about the pale walls of the room before speaking again. "If we didn'...well it doesn' matter really...I though' that after what happened with Ashley an' all...that ye'd be a bit hesitant 'bout it. I mean...I could easily live without bein' married ta ye an' whatnot..." she said a bit slowly.
She didn't dare turn to face him now, too afraid of what his facial expressions might reveal and in the past year, Evelyn had gotten a bit too good at deciphering his moods. Instead, she waited to see his reaction to it all. In all honesty, Evelyn felt a bit guilty that he had to give up land for her and she only hoped he wouldn't feel pressed to marry her simply because he felt it was the right thing to do.
"I mean...er...either way ye won' be losin' me Eric." She said softly, brushing a hand through her curls and then letting out a long, drawn, breath.

::The creature blinked up at Linea purred and then skipped away swiftly::
::once in an ally Puck transformed quickly and zipped over to the Turner residence in a burst of glowing green light and straight in the baby's room::
::He blinked, startled to see he had company other then little James. His face broke inot a sly grin and he clapped his hands:: "The Legendary William Turner has finally come home......you know you had your wife very worried......for shame..."
::Puck lifted himself into the air and zipped once around the room, as if to get a good veiw of Will from all angles, then snapped his hands and he was holding a giggling James in his arms. Puck looked to the baby's face then to Will:: "Looks just like you....." He said conversationally::

::Jack blinked when a enraged Tobbs was on Mark, and a small scuffle insued. Jack leapt and helped her up, and held onto her arms tightly::
"Easy luv...easy....." He said calmly. "I'm not all too happy either, but I'm not going to kill him...do ye understand?" He whispered.::
::He looked to Mark:: "We'll sort this out...in time mate...go say sorry to Sam for me...and I'll giv this to the crew then, savvy? I'm at Will Turners. If ye need me I'm there...an' I'll talk to the crew....later...."
::This being said he scooped up Tobbs in his arms, giving her no objection room and storde back to the Turner's, a funny quirk on the edge of his mouth::

*One of Erics brown eyes popped open at the mention of Evelyn keeping the little outfit and a lopsided grin formed upon his lips. His eye closed again but the grin remained, it was unable to leave his face.* Well Im deffinantly not gonna object to THAT. *He stated and followed it up with a soft laugh. He found her to be a gorgeous woman with a lovely build and that outfit only showed it off...how could he not want it around!
She laid down and turned her back to him as he again inched a little closer. He slipped his arm across her waist, resting his head against her upper back when suddenly she asked if they'd ever get married. He swiftly propped himself up on one elbow and looked her over. It was a thought they had voiced out loud earlier when Mark had brought it up.
Her words made him frown and he gently tugged on her shoulder to get her to face him. His eyes landed gently upon her own and his face was soft and caring. He smiled at her warmly and pushed a few curls from her face.* Do you think that just because I was engaged to Ashley that I wouldn't ever marry you? *He asked.* Of course I want to marry you someday I just....I just want the time to be right. Thats the only reason Im hestitant about it though, Evelyn. It has nothing to do with my past. *He explained, not wanting her to think their situation and their lives had anything to do with Ashley.
He laughed a little and kissed her cheek.* You think too much, Evy. *He said, laying back down beside her. He did feel a little guilty about being with Evelyn without having actually been married but that certainly wasn't going to stop him the next time a moment arose. He did see himself marrying her someday...frankly he couldnt picture life without her now so that didn't bother him much anymore. But then it hit him what she had said...she could easily live without being married to him. He propped himself up again and looked at her with a slightly furrowed brow.* I mean...well... that is if you'd even want to get married. I dont know if you...well if you exactly SEE yourself settling down and whatnot. 'Cause if you don't I mean thats okay too I just...yeah. *He said a bit akwardly.*

*Wills eyes darted up at the creature who had just entered his sons room and he instantly went on the defensive. It was the same strange little thing he had seen in the alley earlier talking to Evy and Eric. Will blinked at it curiously a few times, relaxing a little as he decided Puck was no real threat. Of course he hadn't thought Mark was going to be a real threat either and that didn't turn out too great.
Instead he backed up instinctivley in front of his family and Sarah, his eyes fixed firmly on the creature who seemed to know more about Will then Will knew about him....seemed an unfair advantage really. Elizabeth and Sarah seemed to have already encountered the thing as they didn't seem exactly startled by its presence.* And you have me very worried. *Will stated.
A moment later James was in its arms and he was commenting on how much it looked like Will. However he hadn't heard a word Puck just said, all he was focused on now was the fact that HIS son was in a STRANGE THINGS arms and he wasn't the least bit comfortable with this situation.
Will rushed over to him and snatched the giggling child from his arms. James continued giggling as his large brown eyes watched Puck curiously.* Would you mind telling me why you're in my house and trying to hold my son? *Will asked in an annoyed tone, his eyes momentarily glancing towards the door as he heard someone enter downstairs.*

At Eric's tug on her shoulder, she shifted gently to face him and smiled slightly at his words. No matter what he said, his words tended to comfort her in an odd way, and this time was no different. As he reaffirmed his want to marry her someday she nodded her head silently and then turned on her side and propped herself up, using her forearm to keep her up. She looked up at his face and stroked a few of his golden curls as he spoke.
When he suddenly propped himself up again and asked her if she WANTED to get married Evelyn lifted her brows and blinked a few times. "Erm...well me?" she asked. She bit her lip and shrugged. "Well ta be completely honest mate, I never pictured myself gettin' married...I mean...I'm a pirate..." she said with a bit of a chuckle and laying down once again.
She curled into him then and took a deep breath, clutching neck a bit and then speaking in something just above a whisper. "But then again...that WAS before I met you. I mean...the thought had crossed my mind...rather naively really, when I had met Luis...but we all know how THA' panned out." She stated with a small grunt.
The sun continued to crawl into the skies and the sun was now beaming into the room and she groaned in protest again as she closed her eyes. "Gah...bloody sun..." she muttered. "Can' it bloody see we JUS' REALLY got ta bed?" she said with a small smile.
Her eyes fluttered open a bit and she looked up at his face again, hery honeyed eyes dancing around his features before gently giving him a kiss. "Don' worry 'bout it though...we're young...we've got lots of time ahead of us...er...at least until the Navy catches up with us." She saidh with a small laugh and giving him a wink.

::Puck blinked when Will snatched James back::
"There is a small but important difference between trying...and accomplishing...see I accomplished in holding your son....wasn't trying...."
"and why are you so protective anyway? Wasn't like I was trying to eat the kid...." Puck snapped, then gestured to James:: "and he likes me..does he look upset to you?" He asked, as James giggled::
::Puck's eyes narrowed and he hovered right into Will's space bubble. Much like Jack would, only closer, to the point of annoyance beyond reason:: "As for who I am...call me a Trickster if you wish....I go by many names.....but that one will do for now, oh Mighty Paranoid One...."
::He zipped over to the door and peeked out in the blinking of an eye and was back in the room hovering again:: "I was checking up on the kid...." He said truthfully jerking a thumb at James who giggled as Puck came within sight range of the baby:: "Aww...." Puck smiled brightly::
::The fae landed for a second walking over to the cradle and gestured to Will, a beckoning motion with his index finger. But it was James who came, floating over and giggling as he did. Puck caught him carefully, and tucked him into the crib, whispered something to the baby then looked up at Will, Elizabeth and Sarah:: "Let him sleep...." He giggled, and was gone in sparkles of green light::
~*~*~*~*~*~
::The fae's voice appeared before his body did. In Eric and Evelyn's room:: "You'd better be decent, damnit. There's some things I don't want my innocent little eyes to see, you know!" Puck's musical said from inside their room::
::A few seconds later he appeared, smirking and covering his eyes.:: "You know you two are so cute it's effecting my vomiting reflex." Puck said. He waved his hands and a shower of absurdly pink rose petals fell on the bed. completle with tiny little paper hearts::
"Do I get an invitation to the wedding?" He asked curiously:: "I think a summer wedding would be nice....well...no...spring...all the flowers in bloom....." He smirked and Evy's hair had become adorned with flowers again:: "I could help with the gown...." He added with a sly look:::#nosmileys

With a jump, Evelyn sat up, tearing away from Eric, and backing up against the backboard of the bed. "What in Christ's name?" Evelyn stated with a startled tone. She blinked around the room looking around desperately for the source of the voice and giving a soft growl at the mere hunch of who it might be. "GAH! Not YOU again!" Evelyn barked as the being appeared and she narrowed her eyes.
Evelyn seemed to quickly inch her way towards Eric and plastered herself against him. She turned her neck and whispered in Eric's ear gently, "Does this man have ANY decency?" Her honeyed eyes scanned the being over again and she blinked at the sudden bombardment of petals and hearts upon their bed.
Her hair suddenly became adorned with flowers again and Evelyn only rolled her eyes and flushed a bit again. "INVITATION!? Are ye sure ye need one at all? I mean...why not jus' bloody SHOW UP! Ye tend ta do it alot already mate." She spat, quickly picking out a few of the flowers and tossing them at the being angrily. "Comin' in our bloody bedroom without even knockin'...I mean...we don' eve know yer bloody NAME! Not that it would matter either way." Evelyn's words came quickly and with strong emphasis. She was getting rather annoyed at thi point, and the fact that he had simply jumped into their bedroom at all was certainly crossing the line with her.
She looked to Eric who was positioning himself in a sort of protective stance over her now, something Eric seemed to do instinctively now, whether he knew he was doing it or not. Yet, there was always a sort of confidence in him whenever he did do it. "An'...well...who says we'll be gettin' married anytime soon." Evelyn nodded with a huff, shooting the being a hateful glare and shaking her head.

*Tobbs felt the wind knocked out of her and she blinked a few times, falling a bit off of Mark and coughing. She muttered at his inquiry on if she was alright, intentionally being difficult on being helped up.*
*Nonetheless Jack had stepped in and gotten her up with Mark. The moment she'd stood, though, she was trying to lunge at him again. Luckily, Jack was holding her back. She kept muttering a string of curses, ignoring both of their attempts to calm her. She hated keeping her own anger and wallowing in it eventually; why not take it out on someone else and feed off their pain rather than your own-especially if its on the one who caused it all?*
*Very cold train of thought, but that's what she'd relied on for years, so she was slowly trying to work herself out of it. Unfortunately, it was taking time, meaning there was still times she'd do just that.*
*So, she didn't stop trying to lunge at Mark, lessening only a bit more when Jack had picked her up and started carrying her.*
"'EY! THAT'S BLOODY UNFAIR! 'e'll think I'm some coward! 'eavens 'e thought you were! BLOODY MISJUDGEMENT!...FINE! I'LL SEE YOU SOON SEA BOY!"
*And so on, and so forth went her madness until she was a bit worn out. Rather than a flowing string of curses, she broke it up midway to take a quick breath, and then continued on, directing her anger at anyone really. As long as it wasnt her.*
"WHATCHA LOOKIN AT YA SEA SCUM! GO BACK TO YER PETTY TEA OR I'LL MAKE YE!"
*She couldn't really, since she knew she was going nowhere with Jack holding onto her. So, still squirming a bit in his arms, just to make things difficult, she pinpointed her next victim, a really shaggy sheepdog who watched them rather clumsily.*
"GO GET A 'AIRCUT, YA POOR EXCUSE FOR SOMETHIN' LIVING!"
*Basically, she was angry, and she wasn't letting anyone calm her down, nor get out of her range without some criticizing insult. The only person she didn't drive her unhappiness at was Jack. She couldn't ever do that again. And she didnt think she ever would. But she still kept squirming, just to keep him alert on her own actions.*

*Elizabeth watched Puck go with a silent sort of shock about it all. She smiled slowly at Sarah, as if too in a daze to really judge what was going on.*
"What...what it was? I...I don't know really.."
*She kept her hold on James close, sitting down rather worn out. But when Will came in, she sprung up and hugged him joyfully, returning his kiss and all around feeling much more safe and happy.*
"I'm fine now....you're here, and not hurt...."
*She watched James and her husband and pulled Sarah to her side, nudging her a bit with a smile. But when Puck came in, she furrowed ehr brows an inched behind her husband, gasping a bit when James was taken and back in the mysterious being's arms.*
*She didn't want him taken again, so she was happy when he was taken back by Will. Relieved, but still on her guard, she eyed Puck.*
"What...."
*She couldn't quite get it out, so she watched the flotaing of her son into the crib was astonishment, and as soon as Puck left, she ran ove to check if he was alright.*
"Will....everything's been so...so confusing..."
*She rubbed her forehead and kept her eyes locked on James, blinking back any fragment of sleepiness.*

"So untrusting..." Puck muttered. At the comment about the invitation and the mention of him just popping up he grinned:: "Well...that's a good idea.....never thought of that...thanks!"
::He smirked brightly and then eyed the two of them:: "Of course you'll get married...it's bound to happen.....always does....rather fun business...weddings, I mean....I remember Oberon and Titania's......faes reveling for days after...think it might have been the wine...was pretty strong after all.....think Peasblossom ended up with rabbit ears sometime during the 5th night....."
::He paused in the memory then smirked when Evelyn mentioned their lack of knowledge of his name. He smiled brightly:: "Call me Trickster.....that is what I am after all......I've many names....you'll figure them out in time...."
::Puck smiled and bowed once:: "I'll be seeing you both again sometime....." He laughed and disappeared::
::This time he became the cat fox like creature and hurried along to find Linea. He found her again in a few minutes, and howled at her loudly::
