Kelli sits between two crates not wanting to wait and not wanting to be seen. She opens the book to its saved place and galnces around to see if anyone notices her, no one has or will so she sits back starting to write.
April 2 Historian and clerk.
Sitting on the ship waiting nervously for New Moon to attack. Theres nothing like the uneasy calm before the battle...or a storm. Captain Audra has been hunting them for a while now and finally her battle is about to come to an end. I personally will be glad this hunt will be over and from the looks of the crew and the Captain all of us are lonely and aching from the long journeys...
Kelli pauses and sighs shutting the book. She sits up and hugs her knees watching the crew busies themselves to feel less...confind. Kelli eases back between the crates and sighs going over previous events between Gryffon and Audra and then herself...even her ice hearted captain can find a fragment of happiness and she cant. Kelli sighs and shut her eyes leanng her head back. The battle will get her mind off alot....without knowing Kelli slides into a light sleep hiding between the crates with the book resting in her lap*.
((ooc: oooh long post for me...um if you dont like parts PM me tell me I'll adjust*was bored threw Kelli in for drama*))

*Audra stared at the New Moon in the increasing darkness... She would be upon them soon. Determined to end this once and for all, Audra joined her crew and Gryffon's. She spotted Gryffon, Brigil, and Ramsey talking and silently came up behind Gryffon. She casually took his hand in hers, not caring if Brigil or Ramsey had a smart comment on it. However, she did keep her voice rather soft as she gently pulled him just a short distance away.* "They're almost here... I suppose there's no way you're leaving now... even if I'm not so sure you should be here... but please... Be careful..."

Gryffon raised her hand to his lips and gently kissed it, "As you wish beloved...But promise me that you will take care of yourself as well. I don't want anything happening to you. I don't think I can handle that..."
------
John leaned against a few rocks, his eyes trained on the coming ship's mast, as the darkness grew thick around them. He stood up, pistols cocked when he heard a soft sound from nea the crates.
He cautiously made his way over there and saw Kelli rubbing her eyes,"You were asleep?I hope I didn't wake you..."

*Audra lowered her gaze at that, becoming less and less sure of what she was going to do this night. However, she didn't want Gryffon to worry.* "I won't fall at Jacob's hands. I can promise you that."
((So who wants to get the action started here?))

Kelli smiles looking up towards John. "Not really its just that calmness before a fight...if I think about what I might have to do soon it will make me more nervous." Kelli grips the side of the crate and raises the book falling off her lap and onto the deck causing her to jump. She lays her hand on her stomach breathing faster. "Sorry, not to graceful am I?" Her cheek tint pink as she soon starts looking around at the crew trying not to be so obvious.
((dude hell yea lets go on and get this fight starting I cant freakin wait you start and I'll follow lead WOOOOOT))

Gryffon sighed and looked at the dark sky. "Time to go."
---------------
John smiled slightly, "We're pirates.I dont think we were meant to be graceful....not a lot anyways." He bent and picked up the book, handing it back, "Our times up. Will you be fighting or staying out of sight?"

Kelli gently takes the book and looks back at John. "I wouldn't be much of a pirate if I stayed hidden, plus I need to see what happens to Audra. So I guess I'll be fighting." Kelli turns looking at a sight before her....
((hope thats good I wasnt sure))

((lol. Ok. Here goes nothing.))
"Time to go."
*Audra nodded slowly. This was it. There was no escape now. Audra placed a quick but loving kiss on Gryffon's lips before reluctantly turning away from him.* "I love you..." *Swiftly she left him and began ordering her crew into their places on the island as Gryffon did the same. She herself took a spot closer to the shore, behind one of the larger trees. She drew her sword and held it ready at her side. Jacob's men were going to get quite a surprise. It was only minutes before she could hear them... The shouts and the splashes as they came ashore... The crews that lay in waiting were silent as a grave as Jacob's men advanced. Audra watched as the New Moon crew ran through the trees, unaware that the crew they were searching for was right in their midst, hiding in the shadows. As one passed her, Audra reached out and grabbed him, slitting his throat before he could even react. Man after man fell that way at the hands of the two crews, the quiet gasps and spluttering not even heard above the wild yells that the pirates gave as they charged through. However, even in the darkness and chaotic noise, it was only minutes before some of Jacob's men realized what was happening... and the realization spread quickly. The band of cutthroats nearly stopped dead in their tracks but by then it was too late. Audra gave a yell as she leapt out of her hiding place, other pirates following suit, and charged one of Jacob's men, immediately engaging in a vicious sword fight. Gunfire and the sound of blade against blade echoed through the night air but all the while, Audra tried to keep an eye out for her prey... Captain Douglas himself.*

Gryffon smiled grimly as the pirate slumped to the ground with his blood staining the ground. He waited for another one to pass him by, willinginh himself to stay silent as he placed his hand on his mouth. Before he could react, he had sliced is throat as well.
He jumped out with the crews, his pistol cocked. He didn't hesitate to shoot at the stunned crew before him. His sword was a blur as it slashed through the stunned but now fighting crew. The silver blur turned dull as it stained with blood. He suddenly felt a warm, small figure press against his back, glancing behind him, he saw a flash of rust colored hair and a voice, "Back to back Ray. We always said to fight like that." Gryffon grinned, "Cant think of any better way Bree."

*As the battle drew on and on, Audra spotted Gryffon and Brigil fighting nearby and nearly smiled, glad to see both were doing well. She also saw Kelli and Ada fighting in the sea of bodies. However, when her eyes fell on Ramsey after a while, she was surprised to see him losing in a battle against two of Jacob's men. Hurriedly slaying another opponent, Audra swiftly began to make her way toward him. But she was too late. A gunshot wound to the leg made the helmsman crumple to the ground. Before the pirates could finish the lad off, Audra was upon them, fighting furiously. When both lay dead, she quickly grabbed Ramsey, using all her strength to heave him onto her back.* "Hang on, lad!" *Ramsey clung tight to Audra with what was left of his fading strength. Audra could feel his warm blood seeping through her clothing but ignored it, rushing to the caves as fast as she could. Luckily, none of Jacob's men followed, giving Audra enough time to get Ramsey inside.*
((That's your cue, Sweety. ;D ))

Gryffon smirked as Brigil thrust her sword through one of Jacob's men and pushed him away, so that she could exchange blows with another one. The crew seemed nearly endless.
Gryffon yelled when he felt a sharp pain on the side of his head. He stumbled to the ground with his hand pressed to his head. He took a look at his hand in the moonligt, it was stained with his blood. This was happening one time too many on this trip! He picked up his sword, but was prevented when a booted foot stepped on it. He looked up into the light(dark?) eyes of Jacob Darkwater.
Gryffon jumped up, his hand going to his knife. He snarled at him before he threw the knife at him and jumped for his sword as Jacob ducked. He held his sword before him in a defensive stance as he circled Jacob slowly.

((Could help if I gave you a description huh? lol. Jacob is tall, has long, dark red hair, tan skin, and eyes that are almost black.))
*Alden was already in the caves with the Anne's surgeon, both trying to tend to the wounded being brought in. Alden hurried over to Audra as she entered, gently but swiftly lifting Ramsey from Audra and helping him to lie down near the fire they had going. He immediately set about tending to the gunshot wound as Audra looked around. She wanted to vomit from the stench of the blood and burned flesh that came from searing wounds shut. She shook her head and turned her back on the sounds of groans and painful cries, eager to return to the battle itself. When she reached the fighting crews, she noticed that many of the pirates had stopped their battles to form a circle around something and watch... Suddenly having a terrible feeling, Audra hurried past those sailors that were still fighting, heading straight for the small group of spectators to see what was going on. Audra stayed back slightly so as not to be noticed but her stormy eyes widened when they fell upon the scene in front of her. There he was... Captain Jacob Blood Water Douglas himself. Only with him was... Gryffon! Gryffon was dueling Jacob! Terror gripped Audra's heart as she was forced to stay back and watch helplessly as the two men fought. Audra desperately prayed to God that Gryffon would win although she feared that wouldn't be the case...*
