There was no doubt in Naomi's mind that Jack deserved whatever she and Kaleb would be giving him once they found Jack and his bloody crew. Naomi stood and patted the sand off her pants, taking both of Kaleb's hands in hers. "Come on, there's no use being angry now. Bottle up up, then you can take it out on him." She sounded so sweet when saying this, leading him towards the jungle, "Until then, let's not waste time trying to find help. Maybe there are locals here." ~*~ Jack looked to Will, then shrugged. "Sailing the open seas, letting my heart be free and happy. Unless you want me to throw you overboard, don't complain about leaving them behind." |

Kaleb gave a snarl of disgust as he tore his gaze from the Pearl, who was slowly moving farther out into the horizon, her black sails prominent against the clear blue sky. He sighed heavily as Naomi spoke, knowing she was right, and allowed her to lead him towards the jungle, his mood calming the slightest bit. "Aye. Too right. And hopefully they have rum, for I could use a good strong drink right about now."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will gave an incredulous look and took a step closer, ignoring Sparrow's threat. "Are you serious? Jack, why?! You left them there with nothing? How could you?"

"Ew..." Naomi flicked her tongue out, remembering the first time she had rum. But she also remembered that she met Kaleb only a few moments after having nearly choked on it. She squeezed his hand without known what she was doing, pushing her way past the loosely hanging branched and bushes. ~*~ "Dead serious, boy. Gibbs, take him and his bonnie lass to the brig. He's wearing down my nerves. And get m some rum!" He yelled as Gibbs and a few other men grabbed Will and lugged him down to the brig. Elizabeth was soon dragged out of her quarters as well, demanding to know why she was being imprisoned. "Because I don't want you making a mess of things. You'll be in the same cell, don't worry." Jack said with a grin. Elizabeth screamed and stomped her foot, struggling until she was thrown next to Will. |

Kaleb squeezed Naomi's hand in return, also pushing the thick foliage out of their way as they continued through the jungle. "It's an acquired taste, rum is. But at times like these it helps soothe the nerves a bit. Not that I'm a drunk or anything." he added quickly, shaking his head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sparrow, you bastard!" Will cried, struggling against the men who had laid a hold on him. "You keep betraying people like this and you won't have any friends left!"
After being dragged to the brig and pushed inside, Will sat in the corner of the cell, seething. Upon seeing Elizabeth being brought to the brig as well he jumped up, wondering what the hell had gotten into Jack. "Are you alright?" he asked, his voice soft but his eyes blazing.

"Not like that louse Sparrow." She growled. It wasn't until Naomi was sure they were lost that the two finally found a village in the mess of green and other tropical colors. But the village blended in well with its surroundings. People wandered around, their faces panted green and white. They didn't seem to notice Naomi and Kaleb, but Naomi spotted one man that was old and dressed differently than the others. "Let's talk to him." ~*~ "Who needs friends when I have the Pearl and me treasure..." He said to himself, frowning a little. No, he didn't let this get to him. The rest of his crew didn't care about being friends with him. "I'm fine, but what's gotten into Jack?" Elizabeth asked, hugging onto Will, her hair askew and dress messy. |

Kaleb eyed the village, studying the inhabitants a moment before focusing on the old man Naomi pointed out. He then flicked his gaze to her and gave a shrug. "He's as good as any, eh?" With that he emerged from the brush and headed towards the old man, hoping he spoke English.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will gave Elizabeth a quick hug, then pulled back, scowling. "I have no idea. He's marooned Kaleb and Naomi and when I confronted him about it he had me thrown in here. And what you have to do with the whole entire situation is beyond me. I think he's truly lost it."

But as soon as the two stepped a foot into the clearing, all heads snapped in their direction. A wire, which had been cleverly hidden to Naomi's eyes, caught on her foot and hoisted the her and Kaleb up in a net. They were swung around until the net hung there heavily with their weight. Naomi groaned and grabbed the ropes that made the net, looking down. "Intruders." Grunted a man from below them. Another man nodded and sliced the like holding them up, grabbing it to drag the two to the center of the village. ~*~ "I thought he lost his mind long ago. But you know he's a no good scoundrel. He never wanted to keep them aboard." Elizabeth sighed and shrugged, sitting on the floor in the corner of the cell, "Beside, they can take care of themselves. it's not like they're in any danger." |

Kaleb had no time to react as he and Naomi were captured and hung inside the net, only realizing what had happened after they were hanging upside down. As the native man cut at the ropes his eyes widened. "Bugger."
He landed on the ground hard, a cloud of dust pluming around him and the wind knocked from his lungs as he tried to uncrumple himself and not hit Naomi in the process. He was unable to extricate himself however, and as they were dragged by the natives he managed to speak, coughing and whispering hoarsley to Naomi. "The dagger!" he hissed. "Use the dagger!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will sat down beside Elizabeth. "Even if Jack didn't want them aboard, and even if they can take care of themselves, that still isn't a reason to leave them stranded on some unknown island. What's to say he doesn't maroon us next?"

"What do you think I'm trying to do?!" Naomi was weighed down by the thick ropes, her hand trying to reach for the dagger she had stuffed into her boot. But she was unable to do so, but the net was soon lifted off them. Their hands were jerked behind them and they were shoved forward, presented to the leader of the village. "Who are you...?" The man was awfully wrinkly and skinny, looking as though even a breath would make him crumple into a million pieces. His eyes were wrinkled shut, hands folded in his lap as he sat cross-legged on the ground before a empty fire pit. "I'm Naomi Kings... sir." ~*~ "If he does, what harm would it do us? Being alone..." Elizabeth said, playing with the collar of his shirt. For days she had wanted to go on some sort of land, mainly a port, and get away from the pirate life for a while. To spend time with Will would be great, but it was hard to do with a bunch of pirates around. |

Kaleb glared at the old man, resenting having been taken captive and dragged through the dirt. "Kaleb Hawkins. And who are you? Father time?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A smile touched Will's lips and he leaned close to Elizabeth, gently nuzzling her neck. "We're alone now, you know..." he whispered, momentarily forgetting about the two maroons.
