Evelyn went wild, it was almost an uncontrolled sense of being. She threw him back and bent down, leaning over him, "You...are goin' straight to hell, you supercilious, sadistic pr*ck." She stabbed a dagger right into his groin, and as he screamed out in pain, she tilted her head, "You won't be needin' that." She stared at him, his face was a bloody pulp. His breathing started to quicken and blood was dripping from his mouth. She simply stayed there, watching him die, wanting him to suffer, for it to seem an eternity for him.
~~
Jack clashed swords with two other attackers. Their numbers were falling, and their ship was pretty much a wreck. He fought them off swiftly and swung back to the Pearl. Lighting a cannon, he fired at the hull again and shouted out to his crew and Evelyn's, "Get off the Jolly Roger!"
~~
Rory heard his shout and glanced around the Liberty. Evelyn was nowhere to be seen. He ran down the helm to finish off the invaders. It was almost over.

Will heard Jack's cry and disposed of another pirate about to attack...
"Evelyn!" he cried warningly, and began to move quickly towards one of the ropes to swing back to his own ship. He noticed Victoria stood nearby, motionless.
"We need to leave..." he said as he passed her, pulling on her arm. She deftly batted him away and moved to stand next to Evelyn. She looked down with shame upon the broken body of her brother.
Through a mist of blood and swollen skin he looked up to his little sister and tried to talk. Only blood sputtered from his lips.
Without any trace of expression, Victoria said,
"I thank God that our Father is not alive to see what you became."
She used the last bullet in her pistol to shoot him in his skull and put him out of his misery. It was the last thing she would ever do for him.
Then she turned to Evelyn and grabbed her hand, pulling her into a quick embrace...
"We must go..." she said hurriedly, "I cannot say sorry enough for what my family has done to you."
~~
Will watched the exchange before making his escape back onto the Liberty, running to the helm to make the ship ready for a swift departure.

Evelyn went with her, without looking back, and then as she grabbed a rope, she looked at her, "You have nothin' to be sorry for. I don't associate him with you. It wouldn't make sense to." She held the gaze for a moment, and then swung back to her ship. "Back to your posts!" her voice rang out.
~~
Jack ordered for Mr. Cotton to make a move as soon as everyone was back on the ship. He put his weapons away and gazed back at the Jolly Roger. It was an aftermath of chaos and gore.
~~
Rory spun around when he heard her voice. He walked over to her, "Everythin' alright?" he said, a little half heartedly. He felt a distance between them since London. His voice gave away his feelings.
Evelyn knew him all too well. "Rory, y'know that it's not you..." She cupped his cheek and managed a smile. There seemed to be a weight off of her shoulders. Revenge was indeed sweet, and right or wrong, she felt better for it.

Will also gazed back at the wreck, slowly descending into the sea. Turning back to his task, he tried to steer his gaze away from Evelyn and Rory's reunion on the ship. Instead, he concerned himself with those who were injured, checking men and setting them jobs whilst the Captain regained herself. Though the battle was over...the air felt heavy, and the sky was darkening, as if a storm was rapidly brewing. The sea began to churn and toss the Emerald Liberty as though a new battle was just beginning...
~~
Victoria, having made it safely back on board the Black Pearl gave a deep sigh of relief. She span around, ready to find something to do, only to find herself face to face with Gibbs...and...
"REGINALD!?" she shrieked angrily, "What are you doing here?"
He shook his head and stuttered. Gibbs interrupted...
"He's a prisoner now...he's goin' to the brig..."
Victoria nodded and turned her gaze away from him, heading over to join Marty as he shifted debris away. She briefly glanced up at the darkening skies and shivered.

Evelyn went to clean herself up, she was pretty much covered in blood. She went to her cabin and stripped, throwing the clothes on the floor and went to wash herself.
~~
Jack sighed heavily as he looked up to the skies. The weather had turned again. He shook his head and muttered about butterflies as he made his way back to his cabin.
~~
The two ships departed the scene swiftly. The clouds collapsed into each other, twisting and turning and with a loud rumble from above, rain started to pour down heavily.
A roar of water was heard as the Flying Dutchman surged from beneath the oceans. The sails flapped wildly and the Captain narrowed his eyes at the defeated Jolly Roger.
In moments, he emerged from the walls of the ship and bent down to observe the beaten, lifeless body of Frederick de Bourbon. "So thiss must be owur gluttonous frriend." he spat. He stood up and turned to see his spirit, and seeing the look on his face, he sneered, "Do you fe-ar death?"

Stood over his own battered corpse, the spirit of Frederick de Bourbon tutted...
"No. I do not...rather...I did. But seeing as I'm dead now...there is little point in being fearful." he glanced at the rather odd misshapen crew of misfits behind Jones, and gave a visible shudder of repulsion...
"And I have reason to believe that my soul does not belong to you..." he smirked, his sneer just as wicked in death as in life.
~~
Will was once again at the helm, knowing it was best to let Evelyn have a moment to herself. He glanced at Rory and gave him a little nod and smile, then offered him the helm...
"Do you want to take the wheel?" he asked seriously, desperate for a bottle of rum.
~~
Victoria watched Jack go to his cabin, and then when nobody was paying attention, snuck down below deck and made her way to the dark damp brig. She watched Reginald pace in the cramped little cell for a while before emerging from the shadows. He stopped and bowed his head in shame...
"You betrayed us. You betrayed me..." She said, "How could you let him do those things?"
The wiry man shook his black curls...
"I...I...I was afraid." He looked at her and pressed his face against the bars..."Please...? He and Hook...they will follow us. They..."
She interrupted him.
"Hook can try and follow. Frederick is dead." She turned on her heels, shaking her head, she left him with this news, and headed back to the upper deck, quickly dashing away the tears that had formed in the corner of her eyes.

Davy Jones raised an eyebrow at him, "Bad luck your not so Highness, you died at sea, and it is my duty to deal with you. Particularly you, Frederick." The crew began to snigger. He moved closer to him, his tentacles squirming about slowly, "Your soul...is mine."
~~
Rory took a few steps forward, "Sure..." He didn't really smile, but as he walked to the wheel, he patted his back, "Nice goin' out there today, boyo."
~~
Jack immediately grabbed a bottle of rum and drowned the confusion and thoughts in his mind in the sweet tingle of intoxication. "Flappin' their little wings, just causes trouble don't it?" he muttered to himself.

Frederick's ghost wrinkled his nose in disgust...
"And who are you exactly?" he asked...
~~
Will nodded, "You too..." he smiled cordially, "Rum?" He asked, offering to get him a bottle.
~~
Victoria perched on a barrel with the rest of the crew. Someone offered her a bottle of something that smelt quite foul, and she shook her head kindly. She looked out to sea, feeling the stiff ache of her bones and the sting of little cuts and scrapes from the fight...what she wouldn't do for a servant now, and a soft bed to sleep on. She realised that despite her happiness and her freedom, she missed home already.

Jones stepped back, and snapping his claw, he answered quite frankly, "Davy Jones." That should clear things up for the boy. He hobbled back over to the body and stepped onto the pool of blood, which soaked into him. His spirit was now bound to him, and would not, could not, escape.
He turned to his crew and shouted, "To the River! We deliver him, and return for the others." He snapped his head round to look at Frederick, "Come now, you have much to fear yet."
~~
Rory smiled a little, "Nah, 's'alright mate, I'm good for now." He took the wheel, "Thanks." He still felt the need to dislike him, but the boy seemed to be adapting, and was less of a whining annoyance than before. In a way, that annoyed him more. For him to be likeable...
~~
Jack's thoughts still came back to Victoria. Victoria, a sinner? He couldn't make sense of it. Evelyn's last remark came to his mind. If she did kill Frederick...what would Victoria do? He was her brother after all.
He decided to go see her. He pushed himself up, then decided against it. Better to leave her on her own, give her a bit of space. He sat down. He stood back up. What if she needed to talk? Maybe if...? He sighed.
He went back up to the helm with a slight stagger, and approached her. "Evening..." he offered a smile.

Will left the helm and settled himself on deck, swigging on rum to calm his nerves. He stared out to sea as he did, considering all that had passed in the past few hours. He himself had been the one to recognise his sin…and it still lingered…and Evelyn’s insatiable appetite for men was now explained. Perhaps, he wondered, if they all were absolved, if they repented, he and her might somehow…his thoughts trailed off into fantasies tinged with memories.
~~
Glancing up from her seat, Victoria returned Jack’s smile
“Good Evening.”
She stood and began to walk with him in silence for a while, then added…
“Did you ever think…or know…that you were sinning?” She asked him seriously, “I think I did…and I know my brother did. Did you?”

Evelyn bathed herself in hot water, as if it was able to wash away everything that had happened, cleanse her of the memories and thoughts...
She stepped out and without wrapping herself, opened the door and entered her cabin. Steam wafting out and she was dripping wet. She tiptoed to her bed and threw herself onto the matress. Covering herself in the warmth of her sheets, she tried to get some rest. But yet again, sleep would not find her.
~~
Jack walked beside her, and grinned at her cheekily, "What do you think, love?" Then he paused and looked at her seriously, "You think that you've sinned?" he asked softly.

Exhausted, and yet unable to rest, Will stood and drifted to Evelyn's door. He knocked gently and waited outside for her, still unsure about how to behave around her since the revelations from the angels, and since her revenge...so he continued to wait and drink his rum.
~~
Victoria nodded slowly...
"Yes." She replied, and said no more. She touched her face where her little cuts had almost faded to nothing. She put her hand on his and gave a little frown, falling back into her thoughts.

Evelyn sat up, holding the sheet around her chest. It had gotten damp from her body, and her wet hair. She didn't mind it. She paused for a moment and couldn't be bothered to go to the door, "Come in..." she called out.
~~
Jack squeezed her hand, "Hey, chin up you." he smiled kindly, "You're no sinner." He didn't want her to worry so much. He offered her a bottle, "Rum?"

Will poked his head round the door, and quickly averted his eyes...
In an unnaturally high voice he said...
"Just wanted to make sure you're allright...?" his eyes looking everywhere but at her.
~~
Victoria shook her head.
"Rum and I disagree with one another. But thanks." She gave him another devastating smile and looked out to sea.
"How far are we from Portugal?" she asked, a small frown appearing on her head.

Evelyn noted his embarrassment, but didn't mind it, she pulled up the pillow behind her and leant back. "Oh, yeah..yeah I'm..." she searched for the right word, "...mollified."
She felt a little colder now and crossed her arms in front of her to warm herself a little. There was a tense silence, and he still kept his gaze away from her. "You?"
~~
Jack shrugged and took a good gulp himself. They stopped by the side of the ship. He leant sidewards and replied, "A few more days perhaps, won't take very long."
