((lol! Yah had ta give him red hair?! Yah had ta didnt yah you vixen! Gryffon has rust/auburn red!))
Gryffon girt his teeth as their blades clashed again, Jacob's hot breath against his face. Jacob grinned confidently, "Give it up boy. You're no match for me." Gryffon snarled in his face as he pushed him away from him with all his strength.
The crew around them had stopped the fighting as they watched the two captains fighting it out. Gryffon's own crew stayed silent, none of them crying out his title as his blade was knocked out of his hands.
But most of them still did let out crys of shock, dismay and fear. Jacob thrust his sword downward, but Gryffon rolled over and swept his legs at Jacob's feet, who merely dodged and stood on him.
His blood stained held at Gryffon's throat, a triumphant grin on his tanned face.

((lol. I was writing about Jacob before I knew Gryffon. But hey, I figured his looks should live up to his "bloody" name. )) *Audra nearly cried out in dispair when Gryffon's blade was knocked from his hands. Immediately, she lunged forward, pushing all that stood in her way aside so that there was a clear path between her and Jacob. She wasn't going to lose Gryffon no matter what she had to do. Before Jacob could deal the fatal blow, Audra yelled at him, her eyes thundering with anger and desperation.* "Jacob!" *Captain Douglas' head immediately snapped in her direction. A wicked, longing smirk slowly came to his lips that made a chill run down Audra's spine. Still, she stayed strong.* "Leave him be! I'm a much better prize to claim! Or are you too afraid to challenge a woman?" *Jacob's eyes narrowed slightly but the smirk didn't leave his face and he didn't move from his position over Gryffon.* "Good to see you too, Audra. I'll get to you when I've finished with him." *Audra began to panic. She had hoped he would be too eager to come after her...* "No! I said leave him be!" *Jacob's smirk grew as he glanced between the two.* "Ah... It appears our fearless captain has a weakness. Give me one good reason not to kill him now, love." *Words spilled from Audra's lips before she even knew what she was saying.* "Fine. Let him go free and unharmed and... I'll be yours." *She heard a few shocked cries from her crew but ignored them and continued.* "I'll come with you. No fighting or struggling. It's an one time offer that you can't refuse, Jacob." *She watched him as he considered it, praying that he would take her up on the offer. She didn't dare look at Gryffon...* "No one from your crew can come after you either." *Audra was silent for a moment... No one from her crew... Jacob still didn't know that he was against two crews... Audra's face was somewhat blank and almost sorrowful though inside she was laughing.* "I swear to you that no man or woman that sails under my command will interfere." *She glanced behind her at her crew, her eyes sternly stressing that point. When she looked to Jacob again, he was grinning victoriously.* "We have an accord then." *He moved away from Gryffon and immediately marched over to Audra, grabbing her roughly by the arm. As he forcefully unstrapped her weapons from her waist, he spoke to his crew.* "Kill them all, men. I'm going to go have a little victory party with our trophy." *With a twisted smirk and a few chuckles from his crew he started off toward the boats, dragging Audra along. Audra looked to Gryffon at last as she was led away, her eyes meeting his. Now's your chance, Gryffon... She was forced to look away as the fighting broke out again and Jacob quickened his pace...*

Gryffon stood up and began to move towards Jacob but was held back when he felt an arm around his waist and another pair hold his arms back. He looked back to see Brigil and a battered looking John restraining him back.
Brigil whispered in his ear, "He said her crew! Don't go blowing that away with your impatience. Follow them. We'll be fine." Gryffon blinked in amazment before he gratefully pressed her hands together between his own. "Bree...If anything happens..." Brigil gave him a hard look and a push, "Go. She needs you more than we do."
Gryffon nodded and ran through Jacob's crew, slashing and cutting through them as one would be passing through a stubborn bush. He stopped and glanced around, looking around for Jacob and Audra. He saw a small boat heading towards the ship. Without a moment of hesitation, he wadded in and began to swim towards the ship, hoping with all his might, that no one would hear his arrival.
He spat out the sea water as he began the slow and slippery climb up to the ship's bridge.

*Audra was silent as Jacob quickly bound her hands and threw her into his boat. She nearly cried out as her broken forearm hit the wood but managed to hold it in, not about to look weak in front of Jacob. Blood Water climbed in and immediately took up the oars after making sure that Audra's weapons were placed out of her reach. She was silent as they rowed out to the New Moon, Jacob gloating all the way. The reality of her decision was beginning to sink in... and she was terrified of the consequences. She wasn't afraid of death... but Jacob had something much worse in mind for her. As she was roughly pushed across the deck and then shoved into the captain's cabin, she tried her hardest to remain calm and unemotional. She had to focus if she wanted to make it through this... She wasn't abandoning all hope just yet... As Jacob shut the door behind him and tossed Audra's weapons into a corner of the room, Audra simply stared at him. But when he gave her that slow, wicked smirk, she felt as though she might vomit with disgust. He stepped up to her, slowly removing her hat and bandanna. When her hair was freely falling to her shoulders, he ran his fingers through the soft waves almost gently, making Audra turn her head away. His hand immediately left her hair, grabbing her chin and forcing her to look at him.* "What's wrong, Audra? Too many memories? You used to love it when I did that." *Audra was tempted to spit in his face then and there but she remained collected. She had to stall him...* "Things change. I'm different now... and so are you. Why are you doing this, Jacob?" "What can I say, love? I spent all those years molding you to be the perfect partner... I had to put on quite an act... It was hard work. And then you ruined it all in the blink of an eye. Now you're still very inviting... but now you're strong and a threat... and I can't have that now can I? No, my dear... I think it's time to break you again and claim what has always been mine." *With that he fiercely shoved her away from him so that she toppled backwards onto the bed. She tried to get up quickly but was hindered by her bound hands and Jacob was upon her before she could move. His hands pinned her shoulders down as he leaned over her, his eyes glinting viciously in the flickering light from the candle on his nightstand.* "I will never belong to you... You treat me like another piece of gold in your collection." "You are, Audra... You are. Get used to it. That's all you'll ever be to any man. I treat you better than the rest of them would." *Audra's thoughts immediately flew to Gryffon... She may not be worth any more than a piece of gold but he would never treat her the way Jacob did. She was sure of that now, despite her earlier doubts. The thought made Audra wish more than anything that he was with her now... She began to panic as she felt Jacob's lips against her flesh, trailing hungry kisses down her neck as he undid her bodice. She was running out of things to say to keep him busy. Still, his movements were agonizingly slow as a way to draw out the torture. While it was indeed working at unnerving her and increasing her fear and anxiety, she was somewhat grateful.... More time for someone to reach her. Jacob felt her trembling beneath him and it pleased him, bringing back that horrible smirk of his. She tried her hardest to keep the fear from her eyes, despite the fact that her worst nightmare was quickly becoming reality. He had to stop... He couldn't dominate and control her again...* "Stop it..." *He lifted his head to look at her, his smirk only growing. He then brought his lips close to her ear, whispering like some venomous snake.* "I don't think so. Don't worry... When I'm done with you, you will be begging for this..." *He placed a kiss on her earlobe and began kissing down her neck again as he tossed her bodice aside. His hands moved to her again, sliding her shirt down a little to leave her shoulders bare. As he caressed her smooth skin, Audra snapped.* "I said stop it!" *Audra struggled against him and he immediately lifted a hand to strike her hard across the face, causing her to cry out.* "Every time you speak, the more pain you'll feel tonight, Audra. You don't do anything without my permission from now on... and you do everything that I tell you to do. I taught you that a long time ago and you learned quickly back then. The more you please me, the less pain I cause for you." *Audra was disgusted and frightened as she remembered how much pain she had endured years ago when she had been his. The thought made her shudder as she opened her mouth to speak once more. However, he only smacked her again before throwing her boots to the floor and moving to untie the sash around her waist...* ((Don't get all freaked out. She still has her pants and shirt on. ))

Kelli leans up against a rock slump over hearing all the words of said but holding her right side where blood was comming from. Se hadnt even noticed and now she cant defend herself against's Jacobs crew. Kelli holds a sword against her legs breathing slowly and trying not to panic.

((The fight's still going on. Gryffon and Audra just left it. So you can still cover what's going on on the island while Gryffon and Audra are on the New Moon. And... I'm sorry about your father... let me know if there's anything I can do.))

Gryffon pressed himself closer into the shadows, praying with all his might that no one would notice the trail of water which lead to his position.
He slipped further into the shadows, grabbing at the lanky pirate as he passed him by. Holding his knife at his throat so that it knicked him, "Where's your captain? If you value your life, take me to him now." He pressed the knife closer, so that a sliver of blood ran down his neck and unto his shirt.
He smirked as he merely blubbered and pointed at a dark door. He slit his throat and stabbed him for good measure, not really caring about his apperance anymore as he made his way to the door. His hand gripped the knob and he planned to slowly, stealthly enter the room but all such thoughts ran out of his head when he heard Audra cry out, "I said stop it!"
He took a few steps back and then ran at the door, his shoulder ramming against the door, which crashed open at the impact. Gryffon drew his bloodied sword, his eyes blazing as he snarled at Bloodwater, "Jacob Bloodwater. Its about time that you paid for your actions." ------------
John ran his hand over his head, smearing his blood all over his cheek. Not that he was really paying attention really. He grinned, the adrenaline pumping through him as he fought pirate after pirate, he really loved the rush of fighting.
His face changed into a scowl when Jacob's words echoed in his minds, ordering his crew to kill the Anne's and Tempest's crews. But both crews weren't likely to go down without putting up a dam**d good fight.
He heard a cry behind him and ran to the source, to find Kelli fending off a rather leery looking pirate. He pushed his long blonde hair out of his eyes as he yelled, "Oye. Why not take on someone your own size?"
As the pirate turned around, his eyes hardened as John held his sword out with a sinister smile.
((To the recuse I say!))
((Aud, My deepest condolances! If yah ever want anythin, just holla my way))

*Before Jacob could do anything more, his method of torturing Audra was cut short as the door flew open. As Jacob looked away from Audra to see who was there, Audra managed to get a look around him. A wave of relief immediately washed over her when she saw Gryffon standing there, sword in hand.*
"Jacob Bloodwater. Its about time that you paid for your actions."
"You again!"
*Jacob growled furiously, swiftly striking Audra again as he quickly looked to her.*
"You lying b****! You swore no one would come for you!"
*He quickly rolled off of her, getting to his feet. He too reached for his sword as Audra immediately got up, despite the fact that she was still trembling.* "You said no one from my crew, Jacob. Our agreement hasn't been broken." *She was tempted to be the one to smirk this time but she was still recovering from what had almost happened. Realizing how vulnerable she must look, she quickly moved her shoulders so that her shirt once again covered them properly, never taking her eyes off of Jacob. This was it... Everything was going to end now... She just prayed that Gryffon would make it through. Audra's eyes flew to her weapons in the corner and then to her bound hands.... she was definitely at a disadvantage.*

Kelli turns her head seeing John, then looks up towards the pirate. John wasnt as...big as this pirate. She tightens her grip lashes her sword up and out at the pirate.

Gryffon's eyes followed Jacob as he came over to him with a hiss, "Fool of a boy! Do you realise that merely coming here, you have sentenced the crew to death? As well as yourself?"
Gryffon gave a mock scowl, "My crew or Audra's?" A breif of flicker of satisfaction went through him, although he was sorely tempted to ask him on what Jacob was more surprised....That he was facing two crews, or that he was on first name bases with Audra. In any case, he continued, "Death will only be visiting you. Not any of us."
Jacob stared at him hard as he asked, "Who exactly are you?" Gryffon smiled coldly, "Consider me your judge, jury and excutioner." (That poor lines been done so many times....but its just so kool)
He had just enough time to bring his sword up as Jacob snarled and lunged at him. Placing his hand on Jacob's shoulder as he lunged, Gryffon used his momentum to push him straight into the large, heavy door. Dazed at the impact, Jacob began to sit up a tad woozily. Taking his chance, Gryffon ran to Audra and helped her up. "Are you alright?" he asked as he quickly began to cut her bonds.

*Audra nodded, rubbing her wrists as her bonds were cut away. Her cheek was stinging, she was trembling, and her pride and courage were wounded but those were nothing compared to the pain Jacob was going to feel.* "I'm fine." *She shot a nervous glance at Jacob as he groaned and began to get to his feet. Her eyes then flew to her weapons lying in the corner by the door. Quickly, Audra left Gryffon's side and hurried to grab her sword. She had just enough time to grab one of her knives as well before Jacob was ready to fight again. However, Jacob advanced toward Gryffon instead of her, apparently considering him more of a threat.*
"Why throw away your life trying in vain to save her, boy? Or do you need her to keep your bed warm?"
*Audra growled at that, earning another smirk from Jacob as he once again lunged at Gryffon. Audra wanted her chance at him and was tempted to leap into the fight. However, in such close range fighting there was a chance that she could hurt Gryffon with how shaken she was.*

Gryffon grunted when his back crashed against what felt like a table. His bones protested greatly as he stood again in front of Jacob, albeit more shaky that he was before.
Gryffon picked up a sharp piece of wood from the broken pile as sneakily as he could, whilst he grabbed his sword again. He sneered, "Whats wrong Jacob? Merely annoyed that she prefers my bed over yours? Not that I would blame her....." he ended in a smirk as Jacob let out a almight roar of fury and tackled him.
Both their swords fell on the floor with a large 'clang' as they began to exchange blows with each other, totally forgetting that they pointier objects closer to them. Gryffon clocked Jacob hard on his jaw, which left the older man staggering back. Gryffon ran the back of his hand over his lips, noting the blood which ran out of his split lip. "You'll pay for that hit Jacob."
For a mere second, he saw Twyla's face as Jacob took her, and then had a flashback of when he stood by her mother, as Twyla's grave as lowered into the dark earth. He saw red and tackled the older man this time before he had a chance to stand.

*As the two men fought, Audra quickly pulled on her boots, knowing she was going to need them. However, her eyes never left Jacob and Gryffon. She was ready to jump in the second that things took a turn for the worst. Her lips set in a concerned frown when Gryffon tackled Jacob, both men wrestling on the floor. His emotions were clouding his judgment... She could hardly keep her own in check but she knew that the second she got her hands on Jacob she would lose it too... She just had to try and think clearly to the best of her ability if she wanted to end the pain for her and Gryffon tonight. And she had to try and give Gryffon time to collect himself as well. The second that Jacob gained the upper hand by pinning Gryffon, Audra was on the move. Before he could even deal a good blow, the toe of her boot slammed into his side with such force that he was knocked off of and away from Gryffon, giving a surprised yelp. He glared up at Audra as he quickly scrambled to his feet again.* "I know, dear. It's just not fair... Two against one... But you deserve a lot worse..." *Jacob lifted a hand to exchange blows with her now... But this time Audra could defend herself... and she could hit just as well as any man, even if she could only use one hand due to her injury. After she had gotten a few good hits on him, he realized that he couldn't be soft on her and expect to win. However, he also didn't plan on damaging what he wanted to be his property in the end.*
"Let's even the odds..."
*At the first chance he got, he grabbed Audra and flung her aside with all the force he could. Before she could get to her feet, he was moving for Gryffon again... only this time, Audra saw the candlelight reflect off of the blade in his hand...*

(I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!)
Gryffon frowned as he muttered, "This does not justify as a fair fight...." He back stepped as Jacob swept the knife in front of him. He sneered at him, "My my. Arn't we filled with morals..." And continued in a mocking tone" 'Does not justify as a fair fight.' Boy, I'm surprised you've lived as long as you have with such idiotic morals!"
He lunged towards him, knife flashing in the faint golden lamp light. Gryffon tried to make a grab for the knife, but managed to get a large cut on the palm of his hand. Yelling in pain and shock, he cradled his cut palm to his torso, his eyes darkening as he glared at Jacob. The pirate merely let out a laugh as he examined the blood on the knife. "I would have preffered your blood on my sword, but this would be just as suitable."
Before Gryffon was aware of his words, Jacob had him on the floor, the knife raised high in the air. Instict took over as he used both hands to stop the progress of the knife. White hot pain raced through his body as his wound pressed against Jacob's skin.
The point of the knife decended slowly towards his bare neck, as fatigue and weariness began to take over Gryffon's body. He was barely aware that very soon the point would be pricking his neck.

((YAY!!! )) *Audra was gripped with fear as she watched the struggle on the floor. Gryffon wouldn't last long like that... But could she do what needed to be done? Could she really kill Jacob? Sure she had dreamed of it for years but now that she was here... Jacob called out to her through his gritted teeth as the knife drew closer to Gryffon's flesh.* "Watch closely, love! This will be your second lesson about what happens when you mess with Bloodwater Douglas! He's going to die and once again it's all... your... fault..." *The blade still lowered and Audra couldn't take it anymore. Whether Jacob deserved to die or not didn't matter... Gryffon deserved to live. She wouldn't ever again cause the death of anyone that she loved... Audra's knife was in her hand in a flash. Time to throw like a girl... With only a second to take aim, she let the knife fly... The blade lodged itself deep in Jacob's side with a sickening sound as he tumbled off of Gryffon, dropping his own knife as his hands flew to his new wound. He cried out as he writhed in pain, one hand fumbling around on the floor and reaching for his weapon. Audra, however, had already crossed the room, grabbing her pistol from the corner and hurrying to where Jacob lay. Her blood boiled as she let her rage fully consume her. Everything around her just disappeared except for Jacob. Her boot crushed Jacob's outstretched hand before it could reach the knife. He gave a yell and tried to pull free but Audra wouldn't allow it.* "That was for Gryffon!" *Her foot lifted for only a brief moment as she delivered a sharp kick to his side.* "That was for my crew!" *Jacob growled and moved to grab her leg but her foot moved again, slamming into his jaw.* "That was for my mother!" *Jacob tried to twist onto his stomach and crawl away but another swift kick to a rather sensitive area sent him onto his back again, screaming.* "That was for my father!" *He was speaking now but Audra was too angry to understand a single word he said. Finally, her foot came to land firmly on his chest, holding him still and pinning him to the floor.* "And this..." *Jacob's yelps of pain stopped as Audra paused to aim her pistol directly at his head.* "This is for me..." *Audra took one fleeting moment to stare at Jacob's shocked and fearful eyes. She knew she would remember that image for the rest of her life... Then, with lightning flashing in her stormy eyes, she pulled the trigger, her bullet finding its mark square in Jacob Douglas' forehead... After years of hunting, Bloodwater was finally dead. For a long moment, Audra stayed where she was, her rage-filled eyes focused on his now lifeless ones... Slowly, the world around her suddenly came back and reality sank in. Her pistol slipped from her hand, falling to the floor beside her with a clunk. He chest heaved with her ragged breathing as she just stared at those horrible black eyes, feeling as though her knees would give way at any moment...*
