Eve crossed her arms and cocked a hip when he didn't answer her, but quickly rolled her eyes. She turned around and began walking, "It's going to take us longer than that for us to find this treasure, mr." Eve sighefd and unsheated her sword and began hacking through the vines that kept her from the forest and its deep and unknown depths. Eve frowned and took out her map, glancing at it slightly before continueing onward.

"Thats.. what I figured." I say, thinking about how the townsfolk thought that the Pirates marked thier treasure with a big, red, X. I sighed, shaking my head, my black hair falling into my face as I followed her through the jungle. I felt as if someone was watching me, or lots of someones. "Tell the the backstory-" I whisper, hoping it was nothing too creepy. "Cuz I think were being pursued."

by Guest Thu Jul 14, 2011 7:46 pm

Eve sighed slightly and turned to him, "Is the big cat scared of the jungle?" Eve teased and paused, searching her memories. "Well....I don't know everything." Eve shrugged and turned back to hacking through the underbrush. "Apparently this island was originally owned by natives. Pirates came here and destroyed the population. Ever since then, these are haunted lands." Eve chuckled, "You supersticious[sp]?"

I shake my head, rolling my eyes a bit. She didnt believe me, but that was her fault. I follow her, pointing my sword at anything that moved.

by Guest Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:17 pm

Eve frowned and recoiled when she saw a poison dart frog. "Shit," she said, almost touching it, and whacked it off the leaf with the tip of her sword. Eve frowned slightly and continued through the forest, stopping and standing completely still when she heard a crack of branches in the woods. She turned around slightly, and stared at nothing for a moment. "Did you hear that?" She whispered.

by Spritz Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:27 pm

I raise my eyebrows, sword already pointing towards the sound. "Yep." I dont prod her that I was right, afraid to be laughed at if it turned out to be a monkey or something.

by Guest Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:33 pm

Eve frowned and hoped that he wasn't right. "If you're right, I'm going to shoot myself." She whispered and she slipped into the underbrush, crouching down and peering through the leaves, and looking with skilled eyes. She sighed slightly as she didn't see anything and stood up. "I don't see anything." she kept her voice in a whisper, hoping the rumor of the island weren't true.

by Spritz Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:36 pm

"Then I'l shoot myself."
I peer through the thick bushes, then hidden in the leaves, see a small bare footprint packed into the Jungle dirt. "Whats this?" I ask, and cautiously move forward.

by Guest Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:39 pm

Eve smiled gently and flicked his chin, "Don't be silly." Eve wanted to kiss him, but decided it best not to -- especially at a time like this. She grabbed his shoulder gently and pulled him back. "I wouldn't advise going so close to something like that. You never know what kinds of things are traps around here..." Eve looked around skeptically.

[ sorry so short. gtg be back later. ]

I step back as I feel her hand pull me. Sighing, I look at the harsh Jungle around us, imagining many traps that could be strung in the Jungle around us. I shivered slightly, feeling eyes on my back. I whirl around, and see something dissapear into the dense dark Jungle.

(Sorry so short, ok baiii Sad

)

Eve grumbled slightly and continued forward, only to hear Jacob whirl around. "If I've learned one thing," Eve whispered to him, "It's never stay in one place. Now get moving, so they can't completely surround us." Eve said, speaking as if there was something out there -- which she wasn't completely sure of, but if there was, it would do them good to keep moving.

by Spritz Fri Jul 15, 2011 10:55 am

"Back to the ship." I hiss in her ear. We were alone, and probably about to be attacked. We needed to get back to the ship, and defend ourselves. I almost wished I hadent seen the island from the crowsnest.

by Guest Fri Jul 15, 2011 10:58 am

"Gladly..." Eve frowned slightly and began to sneak her way through the jungle, although there was now jungle on them from each side. Eve frowned and easily found the path she'd hacked with her sword, walking through it, avoiding stepping on anything that might make noise or give away their position.

by Spritz Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:02 am

I follow her back, anxiously looking behind me as I kept hearing noises, at the edge of the Foliage, I can see the white beach, and the hull of the boat in the water, far into the ocean. The sails were up, and the ship headed towards the open ocean. "They left us!"

by Guest Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:09 am

Eve cursed and watched the ship leave. She dismissed them with a wave of her hand. "To hell with them." Eve sat on the beach, her legs splayed out in the sand. "Let 'em leave. They won't get far without a map." Eve smirked devilishly and pulled the map out, waving it in the air successfully.

[ sorry so short... ]

by Spritz Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:24 am

"Eh, still. Theres lots of Ocean, and I dont think thier looking to come back. They can sail just fine." Suddenly, I hear a bit of growling and hissing, and whirl around to see the two kittens swimming from the water. The pirates had tossed them overboard, along with all of our things.

by Guest Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:29 am

Eve cursed under her breath and hopped to her feet, helping retrieve the kittens from the water, and placing them on the shore, where the tabby stumbled around as if it'd been drinking. Eve cocked an eyebrow, then simply shook her head. "Bastards," she muttered as she found a nearly sunken book, and realized it must've belonged to Jacob. She turned around and handed it to him, "I do believe that's yours, although I don't know how much use it'll be anymore." Eve turned and waited for some more things to wash up on the shore.

by Spritz Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:41 am

The little black kitten shook himself off, splattering me with salt water. He looked frightened, and crawled into my lap for reasurance. I pet his wet head softly, and caught my diary, though the pages of Eve and me were ripped out, probably being read out loud on the ship at this very moment. My hands curled into fists and I picked up a rock and hurled it into the ocean. "Bastards, go to hell!"

by Guest Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:43 am

Eve managed to fish out three bottles of rum, and murmured, "How generous." She looked up to see a rock splash in the water not too far ahead of her. "What was that for?" Eve turned and looked at him, concerned, and watched as the tabby kitten curled up on the warm sand and purred lightly as Eve tossed the three bottles of rum to the side of the kitten, not waking it at all. "What'd they do this time?" Eve asked.

by Spritz Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:51 am

"This." I open my diary and show her the hunk of pages that had been crudly ripped out. "For invading my privacy. And yours." I stare out at the ship, watching the massive sails start to grow smaller, then smaller, leaving us entirly behind on this forsken island.

by Guest Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:56 am

Eve glanced down at the pages that had obviously been torn out, and sighed, rubbing her forehead with her index finger and thumb. When he continued to say it was her privacy, her eyes widened slightly. "Damn it, Jacob. Do you know how many people they're going to tell? There'll be rumors around about us at ports a thousand miles from our original one." Eve turned, arms crossed as she stared and watched the ship leave her sight. What was she going to do? The only good thing about this was that Jacob was here with her, and they could finally be alone, but that still didn't change the past intimicy failure they'd shared, and they were on a haunted island, which would make things a bit more complicated.

by Spritz Fri Jul 15, 2011 12:09 pm

"They werent descriptive-." I correct her, and stare out and the quickly fading ship. Here we were. Alone. On a deserted island. The kitten started to purr, finally getting warm and dry in the afternoon sun light.

by Guest Fri Jul 15, 2011 12:13 pm

"Still, who's going to want a captain that appears to be a slut?" Eve sat down on the shore and sighed slightly, now that the ship was out of sight. She put the kitten on her lap and stroked in between its ears with her two fingers, and then said, "Sorry. Didn't mean to snap." Eve turned her head to look at Jacob, fiery red strands of hair obscuring her vision.

by Spritz Fri Jul 15, 2011 12:21 pm

"Na, it just said what I thought about you. Nothing like that." THe ship was completly out of view now, and I sighed watching my home sail away. "I want to get a fire going, for protection. Night isnt that far away you know." I glance up at the sun, then stand away from Eve, watching my shadow. It was about 4 or 5 in the afternoon.

by Guest Fri Jul 15, 2011 2:29 pm

"Well now I'm curious," Eve said, smiling, and laughed slightly. She turned and nodded, smile fading. "All right, let's go. I'm ready to get this fire started. You start the fire, I'll start on the shelter. And I'll also try and watch the kittens." Eve scooped the two kittens up into her hands and turned, looking for a good place to make shelter. Just on the edge of the jungle, and she pointed. "I'll set up shelter there." She smiled and jogged over there, the kittens pulling gently at her white shirt.
