**got worried for a minute here...** Francesca followed Sapphire to where Epp's daughter Dizzy lay upon the floor, then looked to Epps. "Listen, HONEY, this isn't her fault. Did you do anything to stop your sister from dying..no, i don't believe you did. Anyway, it would have happened sooner or later, she's in a better place now..." she laughed, feeling absolutely no remorse. "Now, me on the other hand am greatly saddened at the fact that i missed the begining of this whole thing. I would kill you right now, but for some reason they don't want me to hurt you." she casually walked past Epps and put her index finger in her gun wound, seeing her flinch in pain. "Oh Jesus, that must hurt, and i know pain," she said with a sarcastic sympathy in her voice ad walked back. "I need to find someone to take...i think i know someone who'll be interesting to watch fall to the floor. Little miss be my buddy...Chiara" with the thought of her name, her lips curved into a vindictive smile.

"Damnit" she thought to herself as she felt all the horror fill through her veins, "I can't believe i missed it!!" She decided to forget about Jack, he completley ignored her, and do her own thing. She dissolved and reappered in her room, only to fetch her purse, concealing her retractble knife. She unzipped her purse and took it out. "Old reliable...you've done me well," she said as she looked at her specially made knife. "What to do, where to go." she thought placing the knife back in the purse. "She opened the door to her room and was right away joined by screams and pleas. "Lovely..." She proceeded down the hall like nothing was happeneing, then was grabbed by a man in a uniform. "I don't think so miss," he said as he take a blade to her neck "Won't do you any good," she spoke quitely and calmy, then made a slow movement into her bag. She wrapped her fingers on the end of her knife, then flicked it open with her thumb. "I hate to have to do such a pretty lady in, but that's business." His grip was tight around her chest, and he began to cut her neck. Annoyed, Chiara became nothing, only to reappear before the man. "What the fuc---". he was barely able to finish when she slashed his face with her knife. He fell hard to the florr, holding his cheek. "I told you it would do you no good." she said as she wipped the little blood from the scratch on her neck. Sur, it hurt a little, but she wouln't die. She then walked over closer and kicked him in the nose, from bottom up. She heard it. She was able to hear the cracking sound as the bone in his nose went straight up to his brain. She dimmed her eyes, then frowned, "Your one of my lucky one's. I didn't even get to use 'Hope'." Hope, ironically, was the name inscribed on the handle. She turned around, and staring her right in the face was the barrel of a gun. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Venomous Beauty on Oct 10th, 2003, 3:58pm

Francesca really enjoyed a look of shock on people's faces right before they died. She thought back to the night she shoot that ugly man in the face. She enjoyed that very much. "Chiara, don't mean to be rude...but i really didn't like you too much. I'm soo sorry to have to do this, but life's a bitch." She was about to pull the trigger when Chiara pushed Francesca back and laughed.

"You cant kill me you stupid bitch!"

Falling back, Francesca quickley rose to her feet in utter surprise. "What the fuck did you say to ME? I don't need a fucking gun to bring your little life to an end, stupid CHILD. You don't know who your fucking with." There was absolute furry in her voice as she rushed over and grabbed Chiara by her throat and slammed her against the wall. "Now i'm pissed." she yelled as she shook her back and fourth. She didn't expect Chiara to fight back, but she did.

"I do know who you are, and YOU don't know who your messing with." She kicked her back hard in the stomach, then then back hand punched her in the face. Francesca grabbed her face in disbelief, then grabbed Chiara's knife. Chiara stood and laughed again. "Oh Francesca, how naive the elders can sometimes be. Haven't you figured it out? Dumbass i am just like you. See" she turned around and picked up her hair, showing her 'M' mark. "I was born like this. I'm more like Jack than you, luckily, i wasn't stuck on a ship. I'm more than you though. So go ahead and try to kill me, but your wasting your time and mine."

Francesca was silent for once, she looked at her mark and was angry that she didn't feel she was like Jack.

"Jack was right...he told me that you would not realize i was already dead, and that your envy would let you to try and kill me. Don't you get it, that's why he wanted me to 'introduce' myself to you. Just to fuck around a little bit, and it worked. What, cat got your tongue??"

Francesca dropped the knife, regained herself then walked up to Chiara. "Well, then, hope you were amused. This was just a waste of time. I could have found someone to kill by now." she dissappeared from Chiara, but grabbed her gun and stood behind Chiara as she walked away from the walk. "It won't kill you, but it'll hurt like hell sweetie..." she thought as she pulled the trigger. Chiara fell to the floor and grabbed the back of her chest. She looked right in Francesca's direction as she materialized infront of her. She knelt down and padded her head. "Now we're even. Don't worry, you'll be well in about 5 minutes or so. Now, excuse me, CHIARA." she had to do something, she couldn't just let her get away scot free. Paralizing her for a short time was satisfaction, for now.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 10th, 2003, 6:19pm

Sapphire abit taken aback from Epps and getting angrier by the minute, Pointed the butcher knife at epps, shaking as she did. "Don't you dare say that to me, don't you dare.... I just met Dizzy and anyway this is all your fault" She glances at dizzy and as Epps runs off with her she had to admit she some what like Dizzy, she glanced over at fran. and strightend up smiling evily. "Hey , thanks for backing me up......." trails off seeing she left.

She began to walk off, just as a man grabed her, he was bleeding and must have been shot seeing the wound on his shoulder. "Help me please" He pleaded, looking helpless and weak.

All she could do was smile innocently as she brought the butchers knife to his throat and slit it, She watched him drop to her feet, walking over him laughing lightly as she did. Now to find her friend Fran. She was ready to kill, and ready to mark.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 10th, 2003, 6:24pm

Suddenly, something in Maureen just went *snap*. She was angry at Jack, angry at Arya, and Joyce, and worst of all God. She was angry with herself...and the people on the ship for being so greedy.

She had finally had it. Her instincts told her that Sapphire was bad news, and as she looked down at the ground at Annie's lifeless form, she could see a high powered smirk playing up on Sapphire's face in the background.

She then looked to her young daughter, also laying lifeless and unconscious on the ground. She picked her up, hoisting her in her arms. Dizzy was a small 5'3 girl, so it was easy for Epps to pick her up. She was light, and almostl like a My-Size-Barbie.

Epps knew that Annie was dead. Her eyes were shut, and a puddle of red sticky liquid surrounded her. Her form was limp, and lifeless, and she was stiff and stopped breathing.

She winced weakly from the pain in her shoulder, but continued to keep her courage up.

"You stay the fuck away from my daughter." Epps hissed to Sapphire, walking away from the deaths. Walking away from the people screaming and pleading for her help...she just...walked away.

From it all...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~

"Where's Annie?" a very sleepy Dizzy awoke in her mother's arms. Epps leaned against the wall, putting Dizzy down on the ground. It was still pitch black out, but with their connection, they knew eachother well.

"Dead..." Epps frowned. Tears stung her eyes. And Dizzy screamed an ear piercing scream.

"Stop it honey..." Epps started crying, and embraced her daughter.

"No! This...this is your fault!" Dizzy pulled away.

"Excuse me?!" Epps said, backing up slightly.

"This is all your fucking God damn fault!" Dizzy raised her voice at her mother now, throwing her headphones around her neck.

"If you didn't pick salvaging as a job...and if you didn't mess with that guy...and if you didn't bring us here...we'd ALL be alive...but thanks to you...we'll all die...at least there's one thing left for me mom." Dizzy's eyes weren't lively anymore, they were full of greed.

"The gold...I can run away...and I can be rich...and never...see...you...again." and with that, Dizzy turned on her heel, leaving her mother speechless.

"Oh God...we're all screwed..." Epps fell to her knees, crying, leaning against the wall, holding her shoulder, with her knees to her chin.

As people aimlessly fought back with one another, and more gunshots were heard, blood was spilt. And more people died.

"Help me..." a woman begged, whispering, with her hands bloodied, she was crawling on the floor.

Epps just moved away, ignoring it all.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Hekasha on Oct 10th, 2003, 6:51pm

Katie flew through the halls, the screams and pleading words of the dying echoed through her mind, making her head spin. She had failed; utterly and completely failed. She had checked the lifeboats. Only about fifty people had been saved. 'Not enough,' her mind scolded, 'not enough. You should have been quicker, you should have been cleverer, should have watched more closely. And now you've failed, Katie, you've failed and the nightmare is starting all over again.'

Katie stopped suddenly, falling to her knees as something tore inside her. She felt hundreds of people dying, their souls waiting to be taken. She felt the time ticking away. She knew that by the stroke of midnight, those who were not marked or held prisoner would have the chance of escape. It was now 10:30.

The screams continued around her. Katie felt the life ripped from every one of them. She dropped to her hands in a pool of blood on the deck and screamed, adding her voice to the countless hundreds. Some had escaped. But not many. And not one that Katie had sworn to protect. Annie was dead. Dizzy was injured. Maureen had lost almost all hope. All of these things became clear to Katie in one agonizing moment, and then were gone.

Sobbing, Katie rose to her feet, determined to find Ferriman and stop him from marking all of these souls. She remembered the night over forty years ago, when he had completed the taking of the Antonia Graza. Midnight had come and Katie, the only unmarked soul onboard, would have been freed had he not felt her presence and trapped her. That knowledge kept her moving relentlessly through the halls, following the whips of corruption she could sense in the air. She had to stop him. She had to, or everything she had ever worked for would be lost.

She ran, following the trace of him, not even knowing where her feet were leading her. But it was no surprise when it led her back to the main ballroom. She stopped in the doorway at the sight of the slaughter. For the second time in her exhistance, Katie was faced with images that would haunt her thoughts for another forty years.

Katie swooned at the sight of all the blood and bodies. In the center of it all was Joyce and Arya, who was squirming uncomfortably in the presence of another man that Katie didn't recognize. Before she was seen, Katie ducked out of sight behind the doorjamb breathing hard and listening.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 10th, 2003, 7:25pm

(Yes well Arya would be there but Arya disappeared. That's in the post that I put on the other one...whoops forgot to put it on this one...)

"Well then I'm not here because I want to be sooooooo why am I here?" Crossing his arms he slumped over in the chair he'd taken to.

Kevin was nice enough looking, a little on the tall, dark, and handsome side...(Insert the rper loves to write about hotties...did I just use that word?) Raven feather hair, blue eyes..sigh.

All those reasons and his use of persuasion, was the reason Arya even paid the slightest attention to him.

"Oh shut the hell up.." she hissed sitting down in a chair across from him. "Your little mark isn't doing the job so I need you to watch these little ghosts."

Lifting an eyebrow she smirked, "Can you handle that?"

With a bored sigh he stood and shook his head, "Fine...but I better get something out of this.." starting to the doorway he smirked. "Are you comfortable my dear?" Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Hekasha on Oct 10th, 2003, 8:27pm

(((Oops, sorry...)))

Katie's eyes flew open as the man approached the door. Jack wasn't there! But she could swear she had sensed him...

Katie flew off in the opposite direction, now completely lost and miserable in her failure. Suddenly it dawned on her...The gold! He was probably with the gold! Remembering vaguley where she knew the fgold was stored, Katie ran down a flight of stairs to the lower levels. After trying a few doors, she was ready to give up.

Then she heard a noise. It sounded like running footsteps. Katie flattened herself against the wall as the footsteps came nearer. As they rounded a corner, Katie saw Dizzy come running down the corridor, out of breath and panting. Dizzy stopped, not knowing there was anyone in the corridor with her, and stared around. Seeming to remember something, Dizzy moved forward. Katie followed, curious.

At the end of the hall, Dizzy pulled on a door that had appeared locked. To Katie's surprise, the door swung open to reveal a small room. In the center of the room were the familiar crates of gold. Dizzy rushed into the room and Katie followed, wondering what Dizzy would want with the gold. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 10th, 2003, 8:37pm

Diz stepped into the room, and pushed up her sleeves of her navy blue baggy sweatshirt.

"Hmmm..." she looked around the empty room. Cob webs hung from the ceiling, and the floor was a black and white checkered floor, dirty with scuff marks from peoples shoes.

The walls were a light tan, dusty, yet crisp. Blood was spattered on the left side, Dizzy put her hand to her mouth in shock, just as someone grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Uh!!" she squeaked, being whirled around to face a man in a cook's uniform.

"Meh..." she began to stammer, as he just looked at her. He threw off his cooks hat, and placed it near a rat poisoning bottle. So many poison bottles were lined up.

If you looked a bit to the right, you could see the door was open a bit, and all the real cooks laid dead on the floor.

"No...I don't want this anymore..." Dizzy tried to explain to herself.

"Don't want what, brat?" the man asked, an angry look on his stubble chinned face.

"The gold..." she tried, and tried. But the greed wouldn't go away.

"Can I take 3 %?" she asked sweetly.

"No!" he growled, raising a knife to her throat.

"WAIT!" a man grumbled.

"What is it Bruise?" the man with the knife sighed.

"Why kill a child? Imagine what that will do for our reputations..." he said, sitting on a crate of gold.

"That other brat wanted the gold as well! We can't trust them.." he slowly let the blade touch her warm tan skin, and blood began to flow freely.

"WAIT!" the man yelled again.

"For the love of beer Bruise!" the man threw down Dizzy, as some of her neck was cut.

"Uh! she squeaked, falling to the ground, holding her neck.

"You...you bastard!" she growled.

"Shut it, or I'll finish you off..." he hissed.

Dizzy did as she was told, as the two men argued.

The other man, the one whom he called 'Bruise' was in a crew men's uniform.

"I don't see why we have to kill children.." he sighed.

"I do." the other man said, sticking the knife in between the other man's shoulder blades.

"Ugh!" the man cringed, dying quickly, and fell to the floor.

"Your turn..." the man lunged himself at Dizzy, as she ran for it, like a frightened deer.

He stabbed the wall, until his knife got stuck in it.

"Ha!" she laughed, teasing him.

My Little Box began to play on her CD player.

She ran over to the gold, and started shoving bars in her pockets.

"Get away from there you little brat!" he hissed, coming after her again.

"Ahh!" she squeaked, holding bars and bars of gold in her arms, she ran quickly out of the room, into the kitchen.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 10th, 2003, 9:44pm

Looking back at Joyce he lifted an eyebrow, "That was?"

Katie...her voice rang out as she stood.

"Ah..well then I'll have to see about that now won't I?"

Disappearing with a chuckle he began his search.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 11th, 2003, 03:09am

Appearing in the kitchen, she still held the butcher knife tight in her hand. Her eyes fell on Dizzy who was running.....with gold. She let out a small grin, and laugh out of surprise. She then looked to see who she was running from, a man look as if he was trying to kill her. She ran over to Dizzy and grabed her lighty by the arm. In a urgent tone she spoke to her "Come on Dizzy, if you want to survie fallow me....just trust me alright....i won't talk your gold i promise"

She looked at her hopeing she would fallow her, if she didn't she would have to fight off the man by any means she could.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 03:48am

Where was Jack during all of this chaos? Why out doing the thing he wanted to do before it was time to claim the souls. But first, he had to destroy any intent of people to escape.

It was easier on the Graza, due to the help of the crew, but they were being lazy this time and Jack was forced to do it all by himself. This trip wasn't as fun as the last one.

Standing below the lifeboats, he moved the center of his pupil a little to the left, and the supports begin to unravel, there was no way anyone else would be getting off. Katie wouldn't win, nor had she ever, so why start now?

A few screams were heard as the boats came crashing down, splintering into many pieces, sending wood parts everywhere. Some full sized boats landed on the escapees, their bodies being crushed.

One man had been crushed in half and as his wife tried to help him out, his upper body was the only part to go flying back with her. She screamed in horror as the man's body parts landed on her as he slowly died.

The wood parts flew every which way, pieces being jammed into the boat, not to mention nearby viewers. One giant piece made it's way into a woman's chest as she went flying back with it and got pinned to the bow. People's hands, legs and other various body parts had been impaled.

People's eyes had been stabbed, their heads cut, not to mention being taken completly off. It felt like Jack was doing all the dirty work, but he loved it nontheless. More enjoyment that way.

But as to off-topic: It wasn't like he was ignoring Chiara, he was just a very busy man. Okay, so maybe it was somewhat of an ignore. Hell, he'd love to spend time with his 'daughter,' but there would be after everything settled down and there wasn't time nor the importance of chilling out.

'1 down, 2 more to go', he said to himself referring to the Epps family. When he cut Annie, he ment for her to still live. He liked it when they suffered and the girl had then bled to death, thanks to the wonderful Joyce.

His stress build up was starting to pay off. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 07:12am

"I...I don't know..." Dizzy was too greed stricken, as the man came back into the room.

"Gotta go!" she insisted, saluting to Sapphire, and walking out the back door.

She dropped all the pieces of gold when she saw all the body parts out onto the deck.

And she screamed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Maureen had her eyes shut tight, she heard the screams, and the pleas...and everything around her.

She opened them.

And gasped at the sight she saw.

She did nothing...and her own daughter was overcome by greed.

"Shit..." she muttered.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 07:19am

Stepping over an arm..or at least he thought it was an arm he made a sound of disgust. "That's horrible, green painted decks.." with a snicker he stepped over a legs...or was it another arm?Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 07:19am

"Not something worth seeing is it?"

He spoke these chilling words to Dizzy. "This was your mom's intent to bring you here, you know? She wanted you to die along with her, because it was her own greedy ways to have you all die together."

Watching as Dizzy freaked out over the various body parts, Jack couldn't help but enjoy the little brats confusion and horror.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 07:25am

"NO!" Dizzy growled.

"She'd never want me to die...she wanted me to be safe..." she threw the gold from her pockets.

"I don't want it anymore...look what you've done!"Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 07:39am

"You think this is being safe? Maureen knew what she was getting you into. She's just as heartless as everyone else. Face the fact deary."

He sees the gold, "and your just like them."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 08:29am

"If I have to listen to another cry of help I'll finish them myself!" Joyce had locked herself in the library. A boring place, but a quite place.

"Now then what to do?"Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 08:32am

"NO!" Dizzy started to cry like a child, putting her hands over her ears.

"You're wrong!" Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 08:35am

He'd heard this all before, and it effected him none.

"What were you planning on doing with the gold?"Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Venomous Beauty on Oct 11th, 2003, 08:40am

Francesca was over tken with anger...whih would surely help when she killed people. She was walking at a fast pace when one more person she HAD to kill popped into her brain. "Fat ass..." the words floated in her head. Walking in peace didn't come easily. People were grabbing at her legs, barly alive, but she kept on moving. She felt the womans presence and was happy. she walked in the direction she felt her...all the way in her bathroom. The woman had barricaded her door, but Fran just walked through it all. The bathroom door was closed and she could hear weak crys.Smiling, fran stepped through the door and there was the woman who insulted her splashing water on her face. She was bent over, and fracesca wanted to use her hands for this one. She became solid, wrapped her fingers over the ladys hair and banged her head down on to the sink. "Remember me." she said as she lifted her head and looked in the womans eyes. The woman looked like she'd swallowed her tongue. "Lets move it fat ass!!" Fran still held the woman by the hair as she slammed her face into the mirror, several times. The mirror was broken, glass in her face and bleeding. She through her body about the bathoom, then into the tube. The woman couldn't move. Fran then turned the water on, all the way on hot to let the woman burn in the water, and loly die. "May burn off a couple of pounds" she smiled dow into the tub.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 08:44am

"I...I..." Dizzy was planning on getting off this ship, with it...something had possessed her to do so. And so, she took out her anger on this one.

"THIS!" she hissed, as she took a hand full of gold bars and threw them over board, with a plop and plink, they fell into the water, down into the depths of the sea.

"You have no power here anymore!" she was being a foolish child.

"My mommy's gonna stop you!"Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 08:56am

[color=Green]Snickering, Jack shifted his hands and there besides Dizzy lay the gold.

"You think that a mere disappearing act is going to rid the boat of it's sins and of course, the gold? It's harder to kill me than you think."

He then posistions his hand with his index finger, so Dizzy can look in his direction. "This is what's making them all crazy: a mere illusion. That's right, it's not real...They're falling for a trick, as did you."

Almost growling, Jack steps closer to the girl, "Your mother can't do a damned thing."/color]Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 09:01am

Dizzy backed up slightly.

Maureen got up from where she was sitting, just in time to witness their little fiasco.

"Oh but I can..." she smirked, walking beside her daughter.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 09:05am

"Oh Maureen...Always so sure of yourself aren't you? Go ahead and try to stop me, you've already lost round one. Hundreds of people are dying and your not doing a damned thing. Your sister's dead and you sit around cowering. How...pathetic."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 09:07am

"Get out of here..." she says to Dizzy, Dizzy takes off running, and disappears down the corner.

"You've taken alot out of me Ferriman...and there was not a fucking thing I could do to save them..." she frowned, glaring up at him.

"Fine, so I lost 'round one'..." so this was it...the final battle.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 09:13am

Kevin could feel the vibration of footfalls. Hidding in a shadows he grabbed a metal pipe, watching Dizzy run past he jumped out and swung the pipe hitting her in the back of the head knocking her out.

"Nope sorry you can't go anywhere now." Picking her up he hummed lightly to himself and he carried her to the library. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 09:15am

"Aw, and I was beginning to think you could actually win this one too," he says, lies of course.

So this was it was it? The place where the fates would decide what happened? Too bad, Jack was hoping she'd live out her life longer than tonight. Oh well though. She asked for it, so therefore it was time for her to die.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 09:18am

"Yeah...right." she rolls her eyes, looking around for something sharp, nothing came into view.

"Fuck..." she muttered.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 09:22am

Strolling past them he smiled and nodded his head, "Have fun you two." he shifted Dizzy weight and started down a flight of stairs.

"Damn...you bitches get heavier every day." he kicked open the door to the library and watched a Joyce turned her cold gaze to him.

"Lock her in the closet or something.." Standing she sighed, "Wait!" she looked to Dizzy, "She'd make wonderous leverage, stay until she wakes up."

Disappearing she could hear Kevin start bitching.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 09:25am

"Looking for this?" He speaks, dangling a piece of wood from his hand.

Long, sharp and dangerous enough to do some damage, Jack can only thank that he'd gotten something to attack with. He'd use his bare hands, but it was better to see them bleed.

The site of blood always excited him, even as he were alive, but now dead he could get away with whatever he wanted.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 09:30am

Epps growls, as Jack found all this simply hilarious.

"Well, weapons are over rated anyway..." enough of the chatter, she lunges herself at him, as they both fall to the ground, she punches his face, with the other hand trying to get the sharp piece of wood out of his other hand.

"Son of a bitch!" she hissed.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 09:47am

He glares his teeth at her, surprised by Epps actions.

"Why fight me when you know it's useless. Come on Maureen. Why try and stop something that cannot be defeated?"

He pulls his hands higher up to where she cannot reach it and tastes the blood in his mouth. She was going to fight until her very death.

"Overated huh? Then why fight me for one?"

Throwing the wood out of his hand, he grabs onto her shoulder, a force to great for even the strongest man to overthrow.

"Just give up. Best to be on the right side of the devil, then in her path," he tells her.

((Okay, so maybe that's stealing a quote, but it's just so cool!))Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 09:50am

Epps squeals in pain, her wounded shoulder...God it hurt like hell.

"Let.....GO!" she punched him again, falling onto her hands.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 09:54am

Oh come on, now this was getting pointless.

"Your weak Maureen. Just like your crew, just like your family. And look where it got them."

Perhaps he wanted more of a fight with her. Of course he did. Wasn't fun enough with the verbal abuse and random punches to the face. He wanted more, a real challange from the woman who ruined his first plans.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 09:56am

"You are sickening...you're like some evil ex boyfriend that just won't back down or something." She muttered.

"I'm not gonna fight you, it's pointless." she got up onto her feet.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:03am

"You won't fight, yet your willing to stop my plans of taking over this ship? And how do you think it's going to work if you don't attack, huh?"

Playing that 'ex boyfriend' sentance again in his head, he liked the sound of it. Licking his lips, tasting the blood once again, he grabbed onto her wrist, quicker then even he, himself could see.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:11am

Joyce watch shaking her head, "When would this all end...it's pointless for them fight it's never going to end..."

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:12am

Epps's eyes widened slightly.

"What the fuck are you doing?" she tried to pull away.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:15am

"Evil...Ex boyfriend? If you want me to be, then I shall!"

He leans in and kisses her Passionately. Who was enjoying this more; Epps or Jack? It was mearly business to him, but even Jack couldn't feel the slight sensastion of pleasure coming from her touch.

The days he spent with her was agonizing. Not only that he couldn't kill her, but maybe because he never got a taste of her. And now his desire became a reality.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:20am

Epps had the sudden instinct to kick him in the groin...but something much more took over. She hadn't had a guy ever since like 10th grade...maybe they were meant to be...maybe he was just a bastard...but she felt something. She had felt something ever since she met him.

Sighing, she closes her eyes, kissing him back just as passionately, with her arms around his neck.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:27am

Joyce let out a sigh of frustration, "Okay what have we learned today Joyce...One: Mortals or the dumbest fucking creatures even when their dead. Two: That stealing souls shouldn't have to be this hard. And finally three: I need a fucking drink...."

Stepping out of the shadows, hands behind her back. "Finding that that clears about everything up are we done children?"Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:32am

Stepping back and releasing his grip on Epps, Jack nodded, already done and ready to finish it.

"Heh, what took you so long?" He spoke to her, as though he'd been waiting forever.

A little high from the kiss, Jack could only wonder what to do next. He, of course had to be marking bodies just now, before it was too late.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:35am

Epps realizing what she just did, cringed, and wiped her lips with the back of her hand.

"Uck!" she glared at Jack.

"Damn you and your irristable charms." she then looked to Joyce.

"Not you again..." she sighed.

She just remembered...where was Dizzy? When she said get out of here? Where did she go?Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:38am

Joyce could feel her eyes roll, "I saw the whole thing dumbass." She said it both of them and shook her head, turning she stepped over a woman, well the upper half of her. "If you don't kill her then ask her if she wants a job, if you don't I'll be more then happy to make Dizzy kill her."

Turning to face the pair she smiled, "Those are the only to choices, pick one."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:40am

"A job?"

Not like the one he had and there was no way he'd be stuck with Epps. No way. But then, what was that kiss for? Becoming confused by his own actions, he shot Joyce a glance of pure hatred.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:42am

"I just can't believe...UCK" she mumbled to herself, walking away slowly.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:44am

"I love you to hun." she smiled and shook her head.

Looking to Epps she smiled, "She's with Kevin." then back to Jack. "You've got one hour.." she tapped her wrist at an invisible watch.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:46am

"Better not pressure you then, but what are we going to do with her." He pointed to Epps walking down the corridor.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:48am

"Then don't pressure me.." she turned and disappeared. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Venomous Beauty on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:51am

As Francesca stand watching the woman burn in the water, Francesca felt a quick pang in her temple. She screamed out loud, then in an instant was standing in front of Jack and Epps, kissing! Her eyes grew large as she grab the side of her head. "What is this! What are you doing." they were no longing kissing, to her relief. Bewildered she walked back and forth, "Is this part of your job Jack...I knew you had feeling for her and i dont see why! I can't believe what i've just seen." she stopped, then looked upon the floor. She saw a large chunk of glass then ran for it. Holding the glass tightly her hand started to bleed a little. "I should have killed you, you useless whore. I'm already damned anyway." she started to charge at Epps, but saw Joyce glare at her. She went to jab the glass in her throat but slashed her arm instead. She then fall to the floor, her head to the ground, then got up, composing herself. "I don't have time to be over run with envy." She walked off, Mark now on her mind. "You are disgusting Mr. Ferriman..." Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:52am

Falling to the ground, she held her arm, her t-shirt sleeve now slit, exposing the gorey blood that leaked from her pale skin.

"You're really starting to get to me Red..." holding her arm, Epps broke into a run, running as fast as she could down B Deck, onto the stairs, she quickly got down them, and headed for the ballroom.

Once in the ballroom, she ran across it, not even looking at the dead bodies, and headed up another flight of stairs to the library.

Finally, she pushed open the door to the library...and to her amazement, it was quiet...not a dead body in sight.

"Desarae?" she called.

"Mom!" Dizzy rubbed her head, laying down on a table.

"Come on...we have to go..." Epps took her hand.

"But it's so cold...what are we going to do? Swim?" Dizzy was puzzled.

"I don't know..." Epps frowned.

"But we can't stay here..." she didn't trust herself around Jack.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 11:02am

Ouch. Talk about getting the point through.

Did it offend Francesca that much when Jack kissed Epps? He knew the woman could be fiesty, but jealous too? That got Jack into a kick start and he shrugged off her nasty insults.

Disgusting? Irresistible? Which one was he? Women always confused him.

Disappearing only to be brought into the main ballroom, Jack saw bodies pilled up on one another. His minion's all had one thing in common; mutilation. He'd have to do the boring part of the job now. Marking the bodies, and he'd rather just keep on killing, but no. When Joyce said she wanted the souls, she ment it and by marking them, no one could escape to heaven, or wherever souls went.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 11:12am

"There's...there's a life boat...by the kitchen..." Dizzy said.

"How do you know that?" Epps asked, letting go of her hand.

"When I went into the storage area..." Dizzy started.

Epps looked at her coldly.

"You went down there for the gold...DIDN'T YOU?!" she growled.

"Yes..." Dizzy frowned.

"Why?! Why Desarae?!" Epps backed away slightly.

"Because...I wanted it...all your life you got to be rich, and now that your mom is dead, you have zilch for money. So you think putting me with a nanny while your off doing God knows what on the ocean? It doesn't work that way mom..." Dizzy said.

"Shut up, and tell me where the boat is. You're GROUNDED for a month when we get home!" she growled, pushing open the door to the library, leading back out into the ballroom.

She paid no attention to Jack as Dizzy followed her, they headed out of the ballroom, and back down the stairs, for the storage area.

"Can we just take a little gold?" Dizzy asked.

"NO!" Epps hissed.

"Fine." Dizzy folded her arms, angry.

"Are you sure it's here?" Epps asked, trusting her daughter.

"Yes! See?" she kicked open the door to the storage room, pointing to the life boat, hoisted up in the cellar.

"How the fuck are we gonna get this up the stairs?!" Epps sighed.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 11:21am

"Your not," Jack said.

He'd overheard the conversation and decided to crash the party. She wasn't getting out, no one was.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 11:23am

"Oh, bite me Ferriman." she rolled her eyes.

"Go back to marking your little souls." she studied the boat for a moment.

"Dizzy, there is no way we're getting this up those stairs."

"Should we swim for it?" Dizzy asked, confused, looking back and forth like a tennis match to her mother and Ferriman.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 11:37am

"Here, I'll make this easier for you."

He grabs ahold of Dizzy tightly around her waist and drags her closer to his body. "The boat, or her life? Make up your mind."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 12:27pm

Epps's eyes widened slightly...she didn't want him to even touch her little girl.

"You're right..." she studdered.

"That was easy. I pick my kid!"Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 11th, 2003, 1:37pm

Watching Dizzy leave, she put her hand behind her back which was holding the butchers knife. She looked at the man chaseing Dizzy and step infront of him smiling evily yet sweetily. "Why are you chaseing that child? I think maybe you should leave her alone"

The man mearly looked at her as if she was crazy, anyways hes eyes were full of greed....for that damn gold. He laugh and pushed her hard , making her hit a counter corner. Blood trickling down her face, the man step over her. Sapphire pissed off sliced at the mans leg. He fell over to the ground franticly trying to stop the bleeding. With this Sapphire got up, the wound on her head now healed, she stode over him then knelt down close to his face grining. "greed always win, you idiot" She giggles as she bring the knife to his neck and slices him. She got back up and brushed herself off.

She disappeared and reappeared outside the door Epps, Dizzy, and Jack. She still held the butchers knife close to her, blood tripping off the blades and her hand. She walk in pushing back her raven black hair and stode behind epps, her arm crossed in front of her chest, she sneered looking at jack.

She walked around Epps and stood infront of jack, her ice blue eyes sparkling as she glares at him. "Killing children are we, or shall i say threating really. Please you know you won't kill her, that is Epps daughter and even though you may seem cold hearted, some how you care for this women" Glances over at Epps curling her lip up. "So why don't you just let dizzy go?"

She really didn't know why she was standing up for dizzy, maybe she just wanted to stand up to jack. Although like Fran, she too had somethng for jack.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 2:41pm

And where was Kevin though all this? Sleeping of course, it had been a long week in his opinion. He'd gotten four school teachers marked and a nurse.

Now it was sleepy time..

"Oh for the love of..." she stopped and shook her head. "No no that's not something I would say." Joyce stood hands in the pockets of her jeans leaning to the railing.

Glaring at mostly at Sapphire she growled, "You will turn your ass around and go mark something..." Then to Jack she walked over and wrenched Dizzy out of his arms. "You will join her...and you!" she looked to Epps pushing Dizzy in her arms. "Will go to the fucking library!"Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 2:46pm

"Actually...it's more like I'm gonna go....away...FAR....away..." Dizzy kept on talking like an idiot, until Epps picked her up, and carried her out of the storage area, hurrying up the stairs and out of sight.

"You're grounded for a year..." Epps growled.

Dizzy just shrugged.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 2:49pm

Kevin almost fell out of his chair when he heard Joyce's voice screaming thoughout his mind. "Yeah yeah I'm up.." he climbed out of the chair and cracked his neck.

"Find....Epps and her kid..fine sure.."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 11th, 2003, 2:57pm

Gazed over at joyce and rolls her eyes. "Fine, whatever" She mutters as she takes a last glance at Dizzy before, turning on her heels and walking off. She was now on her way to go find Fran. As she was walking threw the halls, she dragged the knife against the wall, leaveing a small trail along the wall. She let out a bored sigh, and rolled her head around, making it crack.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 3:03pm

Epps hurried down the deck way, and finally stopped short of breath, letting her daughter set her feet on the ground.

"I'm not 8! Why must you carry me everywhere?!" Dizzy growled.

"Shut up!" Epps hissed quietly, putting a hand to Diz's mouth.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 11th, 2003, 3:09pm

She let out a small yawn, ang glance over to her side, seeing Epps and Dizzy, she thought of going over to them but shook off the thought and made her way into another room, were everyone was already dead. Blood smeared on the walls and limp lifeless bodys littered the floor. Sapphire was going to take Joyce advice, and mark people.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 3:17pm

Kevin appeared behind Epps and Dizzy with a smirk.

"What are we waiting for?" he whispered.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 3:26pm

"Nothing..." Epps said rolling her eyes.

"The ice cream man!" Dizzy laughed.

"Shut up!" Epps sighed.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 3:41pm

"Really well, sucks to be you two." Grabbing a rope from the wall he wrapped it around the both of them from behind.

Tieing it tightly he began to hum to himself again. "Yes would hate to be you guys." Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Venomous Beauty on Oct 11th, 2003, 6:15pm

Severly pissed doesn't describe the feeling pulstating through Chiara's body. "I'll get back at her...she may be dead, but i ca make her existance misrable..." Even though Francesca didn't show it, Chiara knew she had feeling for Mark, so that's who she was going to deal with. She vanished, felling out for Mark. She could sense all the dead bodies, " Wonderful" she thought to her self. She sensed that Mark was with the gold, almost guarding it. In fact, she could see him in her mind, perched on top of one of the crates. "Now, lets see if the bitch has feeling" She knew Fran possesed a little feeling, it was a weakness, along with envy and her feelings for Jack as well. She put herself outside of the room with the gold, then walked in, pretending to be hurt. A few men were there, and they raised their guns to her. "No, no, i'm with you, im with you..." she siad as if she were very badly hurt. "Ma...Mark...." she said in a whisper as she walk towards him then collaspe on te floor. He came to her side, not sure if he should care. "Do i know you?" "Maybe not, but i am a friend of Francesca, and she told me i'd be safe with you...." inside her mind she grinned. Mark lend her his hand to pick her up, then she quickly pulled out her knife and thrust it into his stomach. The other men in the room were startled and started to run towards her, when she made herself transparent as they started shooting. "Fools!!" she shouted Chiara, now solid, grabbed a machine gun from one of the men and didn't hold back. She kept shooting them until there were huge, gaping black hole in their stomachs. "Humm, they look like big candy dishes" she laughed, then turned to Mark, picked him up and put him against the wall, holding him up by his neck. "Come on Francesca, save him..." she sent that thought out from her mind

Francesca saw what just happened in her mind. Then shouted on the top of her lungs, "I dont care, let him die!" but she did care, and that's why she started to run to where he was. As she ran, her blood tarnished dress made the noise like a flag flapping in 90 mile wind. She dispersed into the air as she run, becoming nothing, then instantaniously was right next to Chiara. On her way, she picked up a butchers hook, and right as she showed up next to Chiara, swung it right into the back of her neck, pulled on it and thrust Chiara behind her. "Just wanted to share my pain with you, honey." She looked to Mark, clutching his stomach, blood pouring out, the way it did from her neck 40 years ago. She bent down and pick him up, also pushing up to the wall. She held him up, her chest pushing agaisnt his. The blood now seeped unto hers. She knew he was going to die no matter what, and she was all for killing him a couple nights ago but now she had second thought. She didn't want to do to him what Jack did to her. "I'll be damned if i do what he did to me to you." she spoke almost inaudibly as she looked up to his face. "I don't want to be like Jack." "Francesca i love you." She didn't want to hear that right now, "Don't, don't say that, you don't love me, okay!" Why did she feel bad, she was enjoying it before? "Fuck you Jack, you take the fun out of everything!" She had to get this over with, but not in a gory way. She locked her lips with Mark's, pushing his head all the way agaisnt the wall. She was now having a flash back of what happened on the Graza. She was sending her thoughts into his mind as she kiss him. She made her right arm hollow, able to go through things. She put her hand into his chest, and as images her getting her last kiss came into her mind, she clasped the main artery in Marks chest slowing tightening her grip. When it came to her hanging on the hook, she completely had her index finger and thumb pinced together, stopping the blood flow to his brain. She wanted Mark to see what happened to her, to let him know what she was. She took her mouth from his and let him go down upon the floor slowly, "I didn't think i'd let myself like another man Mark, but i did, and that's why i took you the way i did. Don't want you to hate me on the other side. It would be nice to have a male companion in this bleak eternity." she let herself neel as Mark slowly went down. He was not breathing anymore when she touched his head. "I'll see you soon..." She then looked to Chiara on the floor, the hook now out of her neck. "Are you satisfied?"

"No...going soft are we Francesca, or is it old age? We all lose someone we care about." she snickered Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Hekasha on Oct 11th, 2003, 6:20pm

And I suppose you're wondering where Katie was during all this. Well, she was down in the hold, preparing her plan. She was not about to give up. She was going to free the people on this ship no matter what. When her plan was ready to put into action, Katie ran back up the stairs to find the bastard.

When Katie found Jack, he was lying on top of Maureen on the deck and they were kissing. Katie's eyes widened in shock. "You have to be bloody kidding me..." she muttered as she watched the scene with sick fascination.

At least now she knew where the bastard was. And that so far, none of the souls had been marked. So when Jack left, Katie followed him. She never materialized or made a sound: just observed with disgust and growing understanding as the drama unfolded aboard the ship, not really caring as long as the souls stayed unmarked.

'Jack's getting lazy,' she thought, 'Careless. He's concentrating on Maureen now, trying to figure out what he's feeling about her. Well that's just fine. As long as he stays away from the rest of the souls on this ship, he can do whatever the Hell he wants with Epps.'

The thought of what Jack might want to do with Maureen made Katie very ill, but she forced herself not too care. It was none of her business, as long as she could hold him off for another half an hour. Failing that, there was one more option...but before she could try that, she had to get Maureen and Dizzy off this ship.

The only problem was Joyce. Katie knew Joyce felt Katie's presence, but was ignoring it. Big mistake. Joyce believed that Katie was defeated; that she had given up. Wrong again. Katie was not about to give up, she would not take Jack's words to heart and go hide and sulk. She had worked far too hard, suffered far too much for that. Katie's chances of earning her way into heaven were about zero by now, but she was determined that if she was going to be enthralled to Jack for the rest of her existence, she resolved to make herself as much of a pest as possible.

Katie also found out was that another one of Sapphire's mysterious traits was that she too had the power to mark souls. So when Sapphire left Joyce and the others, Katie followed her down the hall to the room full of dead bodies. Sapphire knelt down next to one of the bodies, sighing in apparent boredom. Katie remembered that on the few occasions the two had met, Sapphire had seemed to have some sort of strange interest in Katie. Perfect for a distraction.

Katie materialized in front of Sapphire. The black-haired girl didn't seem to notice her. Katie took a step forward, her blue shoes coming into Sapphire's line of vision. Sapphire looked up at Katie, who smiled.

"Hello Sapphire. I was wondering if we could talk for a moment?"

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 11th, 2003, 6:57pm

Sapphire looked up smiling at katie, she tilted her head and slowly stode up looking down at her. "Sure, whats up?"

SHe didn't feel like marking them yet, she could spare a few minutes. She did have a feeling something was wrong with Francesca adn would go check it out right after she was done speaking wth Katie.

"I'm glad that you are talking to me and not running off" She smirkedRe: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 7:30pm

"Hey!" Dizzy yelped in surprise, squirming a bit.

"You stupid son of a bitch." Epps growled.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 7:33pm

"Really....I always though my mother was a nice person." Standing he dusted his shirt off and sighed, "Yeah she always made sure she gave the kids at school free amputations."

With a smile he began to drag them along. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 7:35pm

"Wow, that's hysterically funny..." Epps rolled her eyes.

"Come on man! Let me out of here!" Dizzy hissed.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 7:43pm

Looking back at them, a few strainds of hair falling over his face hidding his eyes. "Well I thought it was rather cleaver.."

Then looking at Dizzy he shook his head, "Uh well no sorry dear can't do that."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 7:46pm

Epps rolls her eyes again, reaching her hand into her pocket, her arm rubbing against the thick rope, it burns as she hisses in pain. She grabs a knife within hands reach, and starts to cut away at the rope, as her arm now bleeds.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Hekasha on Oct 11th, 2003, 7:47pm

Katie smiled. "I'm sorry I ran off on you last time. That was terribly rude of me."

Katie backed toward the door a few steps. "I was wondering if-"

Katie had no idea what she was going to say. From what she had observed of Sapphire, the older girl had some sort of alliance with Francesca, whom Katie hadn't seen all night.

"If you could help me find Francesca," Katie continued, "I...I need a word with her. I'd also like to get to know you better seeing as we'll probably be here together a long time."

Katie faked a laugh, trying for the impression that she was resigned to the fact that all would go according to Jack's plan, and was therefore harmless.

She looked up into Sapphire's eerie blue eyes and made her most angelic little-girl face.

"You seem to be a very interesting person. I'm sure we'll get along fine. Now, will you take a walk with me and help me find Francesca?"

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 7:48pm

"Same damn thing day in and day out..do this do that! I sware that evil bitch takes me for everything I've got!" he shook his head and stopped.

Smelling at the air he spun around and hit Epps across the face and grabbed the knife. "You sneaky little bitch!" Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 7:53pm

Epps just laughed, she had other tricks and treats.

"HEY! NEVER HIT MY MOM AGAIN YOU BASTARD!" Dizzy screamed.

She then started screaming so someone would hear them.

"Aaaah!!! Ahhhh!!!" loud and obnoxious.

"Shut up Dizzy!" Epps growled, still laughing.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 8:01pm

"Yes yes your so smart and intellegent.." turning around he pulled open a closet it door and tossed them in.

"You have two choice you can run away and not get in anyone's way..or you can stay here in this comfortable little broom space."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 8:24pm

Waiting as Kevin dragged them and forced the duo into a closest, Jack made his move.

"Not much fun when the parties out there and your in here, huh?"

Darkness clouded the small space, and he only let his voice be heard. Would the girl reconize him?

"That Kevin. I real champion I tell you. Always trying to top off everyone," he hated Kevin with his very soul. "But I see your in need of some help?"

He laughs, not knowing whether to let them suffer in the blind dark, or let them out and get killed. They wouldn't be escaping anyway now, the boat was destroyed, just like every other lifeboat on the ship.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 11th, 2003, 8:42pm

She looke d at kaite weirdly, thinking it was odd that she now wanted to talk to her now. SHe raised and eyebrow and cocked her head to the side grining.

"Darling, walk.....please we can get there more quickly by just doing this" She grabs katie lightly by the arm and reappear by fran, ignoreing the girl she was talking to. "Fran., are you alright? Whats wrong?" She lets go of Katies arm, and glances down at her. "Alright squrit what do you want?"

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Hekasha on Oct 11th, 2003, 8:57pm

Katie blinked, surprised. She had never travelled that way before and she was slightly disconcerted, to say the least. She staggered and lost her balance, falling into a pool of blood on the floor.

She glanced up and noticed a dead man lying on the floor a few feet away, and Francesca's red shoes in her imediate line of vision. She rose slowly to her feet, wrinkling her nose and looking around. Francesca stood there staring at her with her hands on her hips. Sapphire had her arms crossed. A woman Katie didn't recognize stood behind Francesca looking murderous and ignoring the newcomers.

"What happened here?" Katie asked, thinking fast.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 9:02pm

Epps is too busy, sitting on the ground, kicking the door with her boot.

"LET ME OUT OF HERE!" she growls, Epps was claustrophobic O.O.

"YEAH! COME ON JACK!" Dizzy said, punching at the wall.

"Diz, you don't punch a wall..." Epps rolled her eyes.

"I knew that..." Dizzy stated.

"Hey mom, I can hear the ocean..." Dizzy smiled in pitch black.

"Honey....we're ON the ocean..." Epps said, and stopped kicking the door.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 11th, 2003, 9:07pm

This was all getting very odd, why couldn't this have just been easier? Then it hit her, it was her own fault. "Should not have brought Epps, my fault..." shaking her head she closed her eyes. "No no no!" Standing up from the railing she was laying out on, yes laying. "I've got to do something I'm fucking management!"Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 11th, 2003, 9:10pm

Sapphire glanced down at the body but said nothing, she was watching fran. with some concern. She looked over at Katie, then shook her head. "Obviously kid, someone was killed....sorry are you alright" Looks at katie who had fallen on the ground.

"Come on Kid, lets leave her alone" Grabs Katies hand and Disappears ,reappearing in the closet with Epps and Dizzy. She held onto katie this time so she wouldn't fall not like it mattered anyway. She toppled over landing on Dizzy and epps."Damnit where the hell are you guys? In a closet?" She didn't know why she was being so nice, but she knew it would end soon.

"Err do you guys need some help....or may i say i think we all need help" She ask knowing she coule get in trouble if she did.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 9:26pm

"It's getting a bit overcrowded in here, don't you agree?"

He glares at Sapphire and of course she can see him.

"If you want out that bad, you have to do me a favor Maureen..."

With that, he disappears. Sapphire wasn't leaving anytime soon and it would give Epps more time to think.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 9:31pm

Epps's eyes widened slightly...a favor? What could he possibley want from her?...

"Ick..." she kicked the door again.

"Fine. I'll do your favor..."

"No mom!" Dizzy growled.

"HEY! I'm not the one who tried to smuggle gold off the ship, so shut it Desarae" Epps growled at her daughter.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 11th, 2003, 9:38pm

Sapphire glares back at him, She disappeared and reappeared outside the door. She didn't care what jack did, he didn't pay much attention to her so she did whatever she wanted and only took orders from joyce now. She was glad to be out of the crowded closet and lightly knocked on the door.

"Err how you guys doing in there" She couldn't help but laugh. She knelt down infront of the door and tilted her head. She tapped the door and turned the knob, yet it wouldn't budge.

"Sorry guys i can't get this open yet..... i guess you might have to do what that bastered jack wants you to do Epps. Hey dizzy how you doing" She had to raise her voice a bit so they could hear her.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 9:54pm

Success! He'd gotten his way.

"The favor is: Kill or be killed Maureen. I'm sure you know what that means. You don't? Then I'll explain it to you as simply as possible."

He makes himself clear, "You must destroy the rest of the survivors onboard. Make sure every last one of them dies, you got me? Oh, and your first victim: Dizzy."

A devilish grin appears on his face.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 11th, 2003, 9:59pm

Epps laughed out loud. She wouldn't have a problem with killing off others, but...her own daughter?

"Two words. Hell no."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:04pm

She overheard jack speaking to Epps, and thought back to him.

"yeah Jack nice plan, i'm sure should would love to kill her own flesh in blood. " She said this laughing "Dumb ass " she muttered. She loved getting jack mad.....no wait she just like to fight .Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 11th, 2003, 10:08pm

"Alright then. If you can't kill her, then I shall think of something else."

Of course he already knew what that would be, but Epps was just going to have to wait longer and besides Sinners worked best under complete control.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 12th, 2003, 07:53am

Joyce grabbed the chain Kevin had used with the lock to keep the door shut. Then giving it a slight tug it shattered. All the little pieces fell to the floor bouncing around like rubber.

Ripping open the door she sighed. "I don't even want to know."

Shaking her head she took each of them in turn yanking them out. "Now then I belive some of us have jobs to do." Glaring a Jack and Sapphire she told in their minds to move it the fuck along.

"Now then I want to talk to you." Nodding over at Epps and Dizzy she sighed. "Oh and Katie do make it a point to run....."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Venomous Beauty on Oct 12th, 2003, 09:03am

Ignoring Chiara, she went to go catch up with Sapphire. She appeared now where just about everyone was, and as she appeared, Katie bumped right into her. "Ahh, i feel you were looking for me my dear..." She placed her hand on Katies shoulder and smiled down to her. She then looked around and met Sapphie's eyes. "Sorry, i had somethings to take care of business..." she trailed off, trying to mask the feelings she'd just held. "Now then...what's going on here" she followed Sapphire to where ever she was head, then waved to Katie, "We can talk later." and smiled brightly

Chiara stood by herself, laughing as she stood up. "Dumb bitch got blood on my dress..." Chiara didn't know that that 'dumb bitch' was her 'mother' nor that Jack was te father, Jack kept that to himself, only to bring it up when the time was right. She sang lightly to herself as she went over to Marks life less body and burned the infamous mark unto his hand. Of course she was able to mark people, she was able to do things beyound that of Francesca or the others. She continued to mark the men she'd shot earlier steam billowing from her hand. When she was finished in that room she sent out a message to Jack... "I've taken care of this now what?" Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 12th, 2003, 09:22am

"Lady, I've had just about enough of you." Dizzy growled, and ran out of the room, and around the corner out of sight.

"Ugh..." Epps sighed.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 12th, 2003, 09:36am

"Don't wanna talk..fine." she tilted her head to the side. The floor feel out from beneath Dizzy's feet, with a sigh she looked to Epps.

"What if I tell you that you can leave with your daughter.."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 12th, 2003, 09:40am

Dizzy squeaked, but her instincts took over, and she grabbed onto a pipe on the ceiling, swinging from that, and jumped to the other side of the floor.

"I'd tell you you were fucking crazy, Jack wouldn't have it." Epps sighed.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 12th, 2003, 09:43am

"Hunny do you even relies who the hell I am?" she crossed her arms and sighed. "No I don't suppose you really do..well if I say your leaving your leaving." Turning on her heels she started away.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 12th, 2003, 09:47am

Epps shook her head, confused. Sighing, she started to walk back up the stairs to find Dizzy.

"Diz?" she called, a spark of hope suddenly cascaded into her mind...they'd get out...but without Annie...

She frowned thinking of her sister.

She'd never get her revenge...because Jack couldn't die.

"Over here!" Dizzy pointed to the hole in the floor.

"Watch your step." she smirked.

"Yeah...right..." Epps walked around it, near her daughter.

"Jack's 'management' said we could go..." Epps smiled.

"Oh my God...really?!" Dizzy smiled. Her clothes were bloodied and her face was dirty, but at least she made it in one piece.

"What are we gonna do about your wound?" Diz asked, pointing to her mother's shoulder.

"Pay another fucking visit to the hospital..." Epps muttered.

Diz smiled, pushing play on her CD player, Britney Spears Over Protected played.

Epps just cringed. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Hekasha on Oct 12th, 2003, 1:15pm

'This is just peachy,' Katie thought irritably, 'Sapphire keeps dragging me around without the slightest thought for my poor equilibrium, Francesca keeps following me around, and Jack seems to have completely lost his mind.'

And worse, Joyce seemed to have gained back some control over the situation. She seemed to be the only one who realized the importance of marking all the souls before midnight. Katie doubted that Jack would lower himself to such a dull job; he was having far too much fun chiding Epps.

He had also let slip that there were survivors onboard. Unfortunately they were obviously in the minority and therefore not Katie's top priority. She had to concentrate on stalling Sapphire.

Katie jumped when Francesca touched her shoulder. Turning to look at her, Katie noticed again the woman lurking behind Francesca. Now that Katie was really looking, she could see many resemblances between the two: the hair colour, the facial shape, the bitchy demeanor, and the same look of catlike spite when the younger woman looked at Francesca as Francesca wore when she turned to look at the other.

"Who's she?" Katie asked innocently, ignoring Francesca's question. She pointed toward the unidentified woman.

"Nobody," replied Francesca quickly, "None of your business. Now what do you want?"

"She's not dead," Katie observed, "but she's not alive. Sort of like him." She gestured vaguely in Jack's direction. Looking closely, Katie could also see some faint resemblances between Jack and this woman. The eyes were the same, barring the colour, and so were the mouth and cheekbones. "That's odd..." Katie murmured.

Katie took a step forward and addressed the woman. "What's your name?"

"Chiara," she replied, "not like it's any of your business, brat. I'll be leaving now...souls to mark, you know..." Chiara turned to leave.

Katie gasped in surprise. Visible under Chiara's updo was a scar that resembled the mark, yet wasn't. There was more to it, like an extension. And Chiara had the power to mark.

Realizing with a wave of sick glee what this meant, Katie was overcome by hysterical laughter. For the third time this evening, Katie fell to the floor. She clutched her abdomen, laughing in that haunting way that only a long-dead twelve-year-old British girl could produce. Everyone, including Chiara, had turned to stare at her. Finally gaining control of her lungs enough for speech, Katie turned to address Jack.

"Nice piece of work Ferriman," she remarked, "the bitch has her mother's good looks, but she has your eyes. I must say I'm a bit disgusted though. Did this happen before the mother died or was it necrophilia?"

Overcome with another fit of hilarity, Katie shrieked with childish laughter that hid a carnal knowledge nobody would have suspected from her appearance. The look on the faces of Jack and Chiara were priceless, though Francesca seemed a bit confused. Obviously this was the first time the truth had been shared.

Still giggling, Katie sat back to watch the fireworks.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 12th, 2003, 2:00pm

Standing up on her feet, she let out a sigh. Looking at Epps and Dizzy she noded in response to Joyce. "Fine i'm leaveing"

She gets up and sees Francesca. She could tell something was wrong, but didn't say anything. SHe lightly touched Francesca arm and noded off towards the door. "I'll explan out there" She said quietly

She then looked down at Katie and smiled. "As for you, you can come with us " Pauses and nodes off towards Joyce "Or deal wth her......or just wander off by yourself doesn't matter much to me" She then started to walk of her good mood changeing to a bad one. When they were outside of the room, she looked over at fran. "Are you sure your alright.......and who is that girl that keeps following you?

She now cared for Francesca as a friend. She seemed to be her only friend on this ship at the moment.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 12th, 2003, 2:14pm

"So when do we get to go?" Dizzy asked, sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall.

"I don't know..." Epps frowned. She really didn't want to go...she hated Ferriman...yet she had a thing for him. EW! This disgusted her. How could she like this guy that took away her family? Took away her life...yet...his kiss...was so sentual...no no no. Must not think that way.

"You look like you just kissed Jack or something." Dizzy rolled her eyes.

Epps blushed slightly, holding her shoulder.

Dizzy gasped.

"EWWWWW MOM!!! You whore..." Dizzy shrieked.

"Shut up!" Epps growled.

"I didn't sleep with him!"

"But you want to..." Dizzy smirked.

"WHAT?!" Epps was ready to smack her.

"Jack Ferriman's shirt $50 Jack's pants$80, Jack's shoes $85 Jack's boxers $20, all that on the floor the next morning...priceless." Dizzy smiled

"I need to get off this boat..." Dizzy frowned.

They both nodded.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 13th, 2003, 08:37am

Joyce obviously wasn't going to let Jack do the thing he wanted to do. She had other plans for them. Shrugging he goes back to his duty, hearing the faint voice of Chiara in his mind.

Unknowingly, Katie had appeared, as well as the two women in his life, well, had been a part of anyway.

"Can't be necrophilia if we we're both dead now can it?"

Truth was, he had slept with her while she was alive, but even mysterious to that was, Francesca was dead when she gave birth. The dead works in strange ways, even so to how the woman didn't even know she was capable of giving birth in her state.

Time to stop being sidetracked and get the job done, and for serious too!

"If you'll excuse me, I've got a job to do," he says and walks off to the bodies.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 13th, 2003, 08:55am

Music: Smells Like Teen Spirit-Nirvana

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

They had a plan now. Get off the ship. But wasn't that the original plan to begin with?

"How long do we have to walk till we get to B deck?" Dizzy asked, her nose started bleeding for no aparent reason, she quickly put her hand over it, as the blood dripped onto the deck.

"We're ON B deck.." Epps rolled her eyes.

"I knew that." Dizzy kept walking.

*Here we are now*

*Entertain us*

*I feel stupid*

*And contagious*

Suddenly a lose floor board dropped, and Dizzy held onto the other floor board.

"Aaah!" she screamed.

"Hold on!" Epps sighed. This was just like when Munder fell through, funny how history repeats itself. She had a strong grip on her daughters hand, quickly pulling her up.

Dizzy laid on the floor, her head over her arms, sighing.

Epps looked around. This ship was no longer a beautiful ocean liner. It was darkened...and full of evil...coursing through all it's walls...

"We have to get out here." she said helping Dizzy up to her feet.

"Can we jump?" Dizzy pointed over the railing.

"Yeah, sure,if you'd like to freeze to death..." Epps said.

"Then what are we suppose to do?" Dizzy held her nose again, as it slowly stopped bleeding.

"How should I know?!" Epps threw her arms up in frustration, thinking of a way to escape. Damn boats.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 13th, 2003, 09:32am

Humming in his head, he continued to mark the dead. Wondering what Katie was planning, he knew she was nearby watching.

'Your doing a bang up job in trying to stop me Katie.'

Also curious to Jack, was the thought of Epps. Everytime he tried to chat with her, or interfere, someone would interupt or even his boss would stop the chat. It was pointless to communicate and sometimes wondered why he couldn't kill her just right away.

One for being Joyce wanted to to survive to the very end, but also for Jack himself. Of course he was lusting after her, but deep down he wanted her gone from his memory. As though she never came into his world.

'Must concentrate. Have to keep your mind on collecting the souls, or she'll be pissed!'Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 13th, 2003, 10:01am

"Well jack just tryed to get Epps to kill her own daughter........ I was bored... tryed to help...couldn't, Joyce came, told me to go mark people. Well thats the short story" She says dully, and leans against the wall banging her head lightly on it.

"Then the twirp.." Motions over to Kaite "Came along....well before this all happend, saying she wanted to talk to me, and i think to talk to you and meet you....something like that" She end looking at Fran. and takes a deep breath continuing.

"Then for some odd reason, Joyce said that Epps and dizzy could leave....go figure" She rolls her eyes, and gets off the wall still watching Fran. "Well if you need to talk just come and find me alright?.... i'll be the bored looking girl marking the dead" She says smiling and walking past her. She disappeared, and reappeared in the dinning room were bloody bodies already littered the floor. She bent down next to a man and grab his hand, letting out a yawn she lock her hand with his and a faint screaming could be heard as she marked his hand with a hook like symbol. Marking his soul, she slowly got up and made her way to another body.

"I have such a wonderful job" She says sarcastically to no-one but herself. Once again alone, she really did hate being alone.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Hekasha on Oct 13th, 2003, 11:54am

Katie was growing anxious. She knew there was no way that she could stall them any longer. That meant time for plan B.

Appearing in front of Jack, she gave him a cheery smile and an extended middle finger; a little gesture she had learned from Epps. This earned a wry smile from Jack that she hadn't been expecting but pleased her nonetheless: it meant he really did harbour some respect for her after all this time.

'This is it,' Katie thought, 'This is when all my hard work, suffering, failure and hope all comes crashing down around me.'

"Ferriman," she stated, "There are three things I wanted to tell you before I wreck all your plans. One, it's now ten minutes to midnight, and oh look, you only have a third or so of the souls marked." she smiled pleasantly.

"Two, while you seem to believe that you've outwitted me, let me tell you that I've been one step ahead of you the whole time. Unfortunately, the game began with one set of odds and since then the numbers have turned very much against me. Three, when all this is said and done, I suppose I'll still be stuck with you, which as I well know is a distasteful arrangement for the both of us, and I hope that, this being the second time in a week you've been outdone by a woman, that we can still maintain our former relationship of mutual respect and enmity."

Before Jack could react, Katie had vanished and was running down the hall toward where Maureen and Dizzy struggled to find a way off the ship. Fortunately, she ran right into Sapphire.

Grinning wickedly to herself, Katie appeared in front of the woman.

"Fun's all over then?" she asked with raised eyebrows, "Bored, are you? Well, I have a message for you. In a few minutes, things will be quite the opposite of boring, and Sapphire, I heartily suggest you leave before things start to happen. Oh, and be sure to tell your boss that I did this. Wouldn't want her to take away a false impression of me."

With that, Katie was off again. When she finally caught up with Maureen and Dizzy, they were staring around the deck, looking for a mode of escape. Katie appeared beside them.

"You have to get off this ship now!" Katie said forcefully, "They've marked some, but most of the souls are due to take off any time now. Undoubtedly, Jack has trapped them somehow anyway. That's why I've arranged to give them some help. But you have to leave now, and get far away as quickly as possible. There's no lifeboats so you'll probably have to jump. Find something to float on; it's not that far to port. But trust me, you'll prefer the water to what I have planned."

Katie then took Maureen's hand. "I'm sorry about your sister, Maureen. Annie was a good person and she didn't deserve what she got. But now she'll be free."

Dizzy looked down at Katie and frowned. "What're you gonna do?"

Katie smiled. "I'm going to teach that bastard a lesson he should have learned long ago: Boats and explosives don't mix." Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 13th, 2003, 1:00pm

Looking at katie she tilted her head. "What are you talking about kid? Don't do something stupied and get yourself in trouble" She says throwing a hand down after marking another dead body. she slowly stood up and watched her leave. "Silly kid..........."

She did wonder though what she was up too. She shook her head and thought of going to joyce and maybe telling her the situation or the comment katie had said......" Nah i'll wait a lil bit. I still have to finish marking anyhow" She mutters, goin back down to the floor and roughly grabbing the hand of a young lady covered in blood. The women wore a white dress, which was now died red. "Never going to get that stan out" She giggled marking her hand.

Getting back up she step over the body, and yawned. She had blood on her hands but didn't mind, she like it anyhow. "Guess i should go tell joyce what the Brats up too"She says coldly "Don't want her ruining plans like Epps does"

She Disappears and reappears leaning against a wall yawning. She spots joyce and smirks. "Yo boss, that lil brat is plaining somthing. She told me to give you a message something about" Pauses and thinks " That...she did something.... she didn't say what but i thought i should let you know"

She cross her arms across her chest and watches Joyce waiting for some sort of reply.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Hekasha on Oct 13th, 2003, 2:34pm

After telling Maureen and Dizzy what she was planning on doing, Katie disappeared and ran back into the ship. Already she could feel the time approaching. Glancing up at a clock on the wall, Katie saw with a jolt that it was two minutes until midnight. She ran even faster, her tired muscles aching and straining. She had to make it on time.

She had been extremely pleased when she had found the C4 explosives in the same room as the gold. Katie had no idea what Jack had planned on doing with them, but she had confiscated them and, during all the confusion, had brought them down to the hold and set them up to the best of her ability.

'If Epps only knew what I've learned from her,' Katie thought gleefully, 'I watched her every move as she was setting up the charges aboard the Graza.'

She just hoped she had remembered right.

As Katie flew through the halls toward the stairwell leading down to the engine room, she thanked Maureen for everything she had taught her and sincerely wished that they would never see each other again.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 13th, 2003, 3:40pm

Her eyes flashed a bright white then went back to ice blue. "Looks as if the brat is going to blow up the ship again" She bit the tip of her thumb and started to laugh "Looks like you guys will be looking for another ship soon"

She looked down at the floor and stretched out "Well i thought i should tell you that Joyce,didn't know if you were going to stop her or not" Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 13th, 2003, 4:27pm

So this was it...she'd have to leave the er... *love* of her life *cough* on the boat, so he could further...be blown up, AGAIN.

"All right Diz, this is it..." Epps muttered, leaning on the railing.

"I want you to grab on to this metal part here." she put her hand on the metal part, pointing.

"And hoist yourself up onto the railing...when I say three...you jump into the water, and swim as fast as you can..."

Dizzy nodded.

"Ready?" Epps asked, concerned for her daughter at the moment.

"I can do it..." Dizzy said proudly.

"All right." Epps smiled, standing back, she looked down at her water proof watch.

"1...."

Dizzy took her position up onto the railing, putting her feet on the metal bars, and hoisted herself up onto it, holding onto the metal piece.

"2...."

Dizzy then got up ontop of the railing, sitting on it for a minute, preparing to jump.

"3!" Dizzy jumped off of it, sailing through the air, and with a splash, made it into the sea.

"Here we go...again." Epps said, and was so quick jumping up onto the balcony, that with a splash she was in the water.

"It's so cold!" Dizzy came up for air, treading water.

"Swim Diz!, swim!" Epps said.

"You're gonna make it..." Epps was also treading water. Which was alot easier in water proof black sneakers then it was in her usual brown clogs.

"I'm FROZEN!" Dizzy growled.

"It's not Antartica for Christ sake! SWIM!" Epps growled, moving her hands around the water, and swimming faster then Diz.

Diz just growled and followed slowly.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 13th, 2003, 4:50pm

"Yes yes I know what's she's trying to do, blow the whole bloody thing to bits and piece." With a yawn she smiled softly and sighed.

And with a cruel and ice filled tone she began her little speech.

"I suppose none of you get it, I'm management. Not some poor excuse of a Satan worshiping twit.." taking a step in Sapphire's direction she kept speaking.

"Management's not an empty place just filled with darkness, it's the darkness that fills the void, hate that covers your heart, and the revenge filled tears you shed as you clutch your love watching the killer run off with your life."

She relised that she was almost speaking in a third person but didn't seem to mind it all to much.

Closing her eyes she sighed again for the second time in a few moments.

Walking past the young woman, her form began to disappear a hum dancing across her lips.

She sent chills in the air as her image poured into the form of her body, "My my Katie...you shouldn't play with such big things..."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Venomous Beauty on Oct 13th, 2003, 5:17pm

Francesca stood completely unable to speak or produce any thoughts as she stare back at Chiara. They were the only two in the room now, and after such a dramatic displays, she just shook her head. 'It's not at all possible for this, thing, to be part of me...it's physically impossible, and i think i would remember...' she thought to herself as she crossed her arms. "Well," she cleared her throat, " I can see your equally disturbed right now, and if what they say is true...then i suggest you follow after me." Getting the vibe that something was going on, she continued. "I see that you contain more 'power' than I, so make yourself useful and help me. I get the feeling Katie going to try tand save these dead fucks. Now, if i'm going to be absolutley miserable, so will all of these people. There must be NO escape. So think of someway to mark in masses as i have some fun with Katie."

Yes, she was equally disturbed, and was furious with Jack for not telling her. 'Dirty low-life bastard....uggg.' she thought then laughed in her mind, 'I can't believe i was fighting with my mother!' She shook her head, trying to pay attention. "Yea, sure, alright, do whatever you have to do...i think this will work." She put both her palms on the floor in the hallway they were now in, then let this wave pulstate through the floor. Each little wave was sucked up into the shattered dead bodies lying on the floor. She walked over to one nearest to her, then looked at the right hand. "Wow, that actually worked!" she said in awe. "So, all thses bodies here are marked, am i good or what!" She saw Francesca was not as amused as she was. "Alright then... i'll keep doing this, see you later, MOM" she laughed as she put an emphisi on the word mom, then saluted Francesca vanishingRe: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 13th, 2003, 5:26pm

She knew not to talk back to Joyce and loved the way she was so cruel. She smirked hearing her small speech, then watching Joyce slowly disappear she strightened up off the wall. "Time for some fun" She said happly. She disappeared and once again reappeared where joyce was, standing next to her with her arms crossed.

"Look joyce i don't need another speech i'm here to help you" She says coldly with out looking at her.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Hekasha on Oct 13th, 2003, 5:34pm

Katie was already in the hold when the cold voice entered her mind. The evil in it pulsated through Katie's head, washing away her concentration and leaving behind blinding pain. Screaming, Katie clutched her head and fell to her knees.

When she looked up, Joyce stood before her. Katie picked up the trigger button the way she had seen Maureen do. She had checked and double-checked the charges. When Katie pushed that button, it was all over.

Shaking, Katie rose to her feet. The foul, corrupted evil poured over her, making it hard to stay upright. Katie held onto a protruding pipe for support.

"You can't stop me," she said to Joyce in a shaky whisper, "you have no power over me, nor over this ship. There's absolutely nothing you can do."

Seconds to go. Katie's hand tightened on the trigger. She prayed that Maureen and Dizzy had escaped. More and more souls were being marked; she felt it. The time to act was now. 3...2........... "ONE!" Katie shouted and pulled the trigger.

For a moment, nothing happened. Then one of the charges blew. Then another. A fireball raced up toward the high ceiling. Somewhere, a clock struck midnight.

Katie knew she wouldn't save many. She had been too slow, they had foiled her at every turn. But Maureen and Dizzy had escaped. And this ship was history. Katie watched as water cascaded into the hold. She laughed a high, childlike laugh and felt the unmarked souls straining to be freed. The ship pitched, off balance, then slowly began to sink.

As it did, she felt them flee. They were gone. Katie knew she wouldn't be joining them, but knew she had won anyway. There were only about 200 that had escaped. Not enough, but some. As Katie felt herself begin to slide again into the oblivion that accompanied death after death, she stuck out her tongue at the evil force that still lingered on board.

"Oh, look, Ferriman. I won."

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 13th, 2003, 6:04pm

Joyce smiled cruelly and touched Kaite's shoulder, touched. "But I can do something..." with a sigh she moved her hand to Katie's neck. Picking her up off the ground she smiled up at her.

"Not everyone has been murdered by the crew, some still were alive. That little helpful blast was just what I was waiting for, you just killed all those that remain...and if you kill someone you go to hell."

It had taken a lot out of Joyce to restore Katie's life, tossing her to the ground she sighed. "Now run before this whole bloody boat goes under..." Turning she walked though the now ankle deep water. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 13th, 2003, 7:42pm

Doing the only thing she could do, she followed Joyce. Chuckling as she did "Dumb kid" looking down at katie and shaking her head " I told you not to do anything stupied" She mutters under her breath.

She let out a yawn, and looked around seeing the ship slowly sink. "Don't get mad with me asking this Joyce but what are your plans now" She ask timidly, Looking down to the water that was slowly raising "Shall i go fetch Epps and Dizzy for you?, or is there no need for her anymore" Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 13th, 2003, 8:59pm

"How much further?" Dizzy asked, kicking her legs as fast as they could go in the deep salty water.

"Keep swimming...we'll be here at least till morning..." Epps sighed, she herself needed somewhere to stop and rest, but no. She had to do this. She had to get away...she was determined that he wouldn't run her life for her.

"But I'm so...tired..." Dizzy whined.

"Stop it!" Epps growled, stopping to tread water and wipe the water off her face.

"You try being dragged onto a ship with maniacs..." Dizzy hissed.

"I already HAVE been with maniacs, PERIOD." Epps snapped, swimming ever faster to the left.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by MelissaM on Oct 14th, 2003, 02:14am

"You have all that you want."

As if from no where Murphy appeared, wet from the salty spray that had flung in his face as he hjad helped some of the passengers into life rafts.

"Yoiu have your quota. Get it, you caznt go any further. Unless you really wanna get him up there in a fuss. Leave them alone." Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 03:07am

Cleaver little girl... So that was her plan the whole time, blow up the ship. History had been repeating itself and yet again, here Jack was pissed off that he lost another boat.

"Fuck," he screamed, hearing an explosion nearby. A little too close for comfort.

Just like last time, he'd been torn apart, and that was something not to think about. Too painful and agonizing to put himself together again. Still in one piece, Jack finished marking the ballroom and rose to his feet. He sensed a hole in the ship, water begun to pour in.

"Maureen," he hissed.

He'd have to find a way to save the boat, or all else would fail. How deep was the gash in the boat though? Could Epps fix it in time, would it even be possible? Disappearing from within the ship, he senses the woman out in the pacific sea, her body shivering with the cold.

Appearing under the water, Jack looked up, his vision now that of the sea water; cold, dark and wet, but he could see them clearly. Epps and Dizzy had made a swim for the dock, and sadly it was a days away.

Racing up towards her legs, he grabbed at Epps' pants and then she went under. Not a scream, or cry of help, Dizzy was left swimming above the surface...Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 03:51am

Dizzy was too busy swimming to notice anything, but Epps was screaming underwater, bubbles appeared from the depths of the sea to the surface.

She kicked, and held her breath, trying to swim to the surface.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 04:03am

He turns her around, as to look right into the very depths of her soul. Their eyes meet and for the first time Jack actually feels sympathetic for the woman.

Everything around them is a deathly quite and the mass in which sustains them keeps them suspended in the water. Perhaps she was a beautiful woman, but Jack only wanted her to fix the ship, it was all she was good for afterall. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 04:07am

Feeling that she was losing oxygen, she quickly kicked out of his grip, and swam to the surface. She gasped for breath, soaking wet, and freezing.

"What do you want from me?!" she screamed, her voice echoed.

"Huh?" Dizzy looked over to see her mother far away from her.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 04:12am

"You made a bet with me, remember?" Swimming up to the surface to join her. "I know you didn't have it in you to kill your daughter, so I did a trade, sort of say."

He grabs on to her, "Your life instead of hers now."

And they disappear, leaving Dizzy to fend for herself.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 04:14am

Somehow...some way...Katie didn't use enough exposives, and Epps could tell by this when she was thrown onto the deck soaking wet, coughing up water, she laid there for a moment, thinking about all this...

She was going to get out...and now she had to die?

"That's not fair!" she shouted, slowly getting up onto her feet.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 04:24am

"Yeah well, life's not fair now is it? Loosing my ship again isn't fair."

He points to the opening in the ship, "Fix it and maybe I'll let you go back with her. If not, you both die. And trust me, I can kill her from here."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 04:27am

Epps glared at him, wiping the water from her face with the back of her hand, she started to ring out her ponytail.

"I can't fix this! She didn't use enough explosives...where the hell am I going to get the tools? I'd need at least a metal board...and you sunk my tugboat, remember?" she growled.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 04:32am

"Not my problem. Your the ship salvager. Use your skills."

An idea pops into his head just then. He vanishes into the kitchen and tears off the refrigerator door with just a single shine within his eye. Holding onto the door, he appears now to where the confused Epps sits.

"Will this do?"Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 04:36am

Epps sighs.

"Yeah."

"I can't possibley lift that, so you're going to have to use your 'powers' to guide it to the hole in the ship, ...I'll see if I can find a blowtorch around here somewhere..." she muttered walking away to the crew area.

She broke into a run, and ran as quickly as she could to the door, kicking it open, she went through drawers and drawers of things, until she finally found a blow torch, and a hammer in the tool area.

"This'll work.." she walked straight back to where Jack, was, nodding to him, and heading down into the storage area.

There...water was up to her knees.

"Fuck, it's cold." She growled,

"Katie!" she yelled, looking for her friend.

"What have you done?" she shook her head.

"This...is not doable..." she nodded to herself, she couldn't possibley fix this...

"This thing will go up in like, five minutes tops!"Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 04:41am

Pacing back and forth, Jack waited for her to return. He'd help her posistion the door and would have gladly fixed the boat himself, but he knew nothing about fixing holes.

"Work or not, you'll do your best to fix it and I don't care about your constant bitching, you 'will' fix it!"Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 04:46am

Epps quickly jumped up onto the stairs, leaning against the railing, she got up onto a crate, and stood up on it, positioning herself so she wouldn't fall into the water.

Everything was soaking wet, encluding her. She was frozen, and hungry...and she felt like she was going to vomit.

"You can do this Maureen..." she assured herself.

Taking the blowtorch in hand, she quickly positioned it by the wall, as she took a scrap of metal from on top of a nearby crate, and plastered it onto the wall, slowly filling up the hole. It turned out to be one small hole...

Things were leaking through, slowly. But this would fill up in less then five minutes. She felt the boat start to move.

"Ack!" she nearly fell off the crate, but she kept on using the torch.

"Come on,..." and suddenly, it went out.

"You piece of shit!" she muttered.

"Don't you do this!" she turned it off, hitting it against the railing, and it slowly came back on.

Once that was done, she needed a bigger piece of metal now...

She took a couple of large nails, holding one in her mouth, she positioned it with her thumb, and hammered it into the metal.

She then took the one from her mouth, and positioned it, repeating the process.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 04:59am

Heh, the bitch was actually doing it. Perhaps all was not lost after all. Watching how she did it, Jack took down notes.

But would she be able to do it before Katie came? That brat was trouble and was getting harder to deal with everyday. Something told him that Joyce was taking care of the problem and not to worry. To get along with your everyday duties.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:01am

Epps got down from the crate, walking down the stairs, into the water which was now waist high.

"It should hold.." she said, getting the other piece of metal. Funny how all these peices of metal were laying around...

And quickly ran back up the stairs, up onto the crate, repeating the process with that sheet of metal, and finally, everything was sealed, but the last nail.

She slowly hammered it in.

"Now we need to do something about this water. Can you get rid of it?" she asked. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:07am

"I'm a soul collector, not a magician," he crosses his arms.

At least the water was down in the bottom deck and not in the main deck or passenger deck. It'd be fine until he could conjure up another salvaging crew to drain the water.

Her 'magic' would last, but for how long? How long would the boat stay afloat till real professionals came?Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:10am

"Give it a week...maybe even a day, someone will find this ship..take it over...now, the question is. Do I get to live?" she thought this over.

"Dizzy needs me...she's been arrested five times...I need to point her in the right path..." she frowned.

"But I know you don't care..." she muttered, sitting on a step.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:15am

Epps already knew the answer. "You've proved to me what your capable of Maureen... You blew up the Graza, and you've fixed this one... Truth is, your needed here, believe it or not. And your daughter, she'll learn...."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:16am

Epps frowned. She would of cried if she wasn't as strong as she was. She just nodded sadly.

"I understand.."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:20am

Grinning, he was finally glad she comprehended to the situation. She would've never won anyway. No matter how far Epps ran away from the problem, they'd always come back sooner or later.

Since Maureen had given up so nicely this time, perhaps he'd let her have a quick and painless death... Oh the possibilities. This would be most enjoyable.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:22am

Epps stared down at the water, her reflection in the rippels. She sighed, this was the last sight of life she'd see...the last breath she'd take.

"Just...whatever you do, get it over with." she said quietly, wiping away a tear that threatened to show itself.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:32am

"You seem to be almost inviting this," he spoke to her, now questioning what he was going to do.

If he killed her, she'd be with him forever and did he really want this curse onboard?Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:33am

"Maybe in some fucked up way...I want it" she smirked.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:37am

"Ah, then I suppose I'll be even kinder and let you pick your death."

This was the second time in his exsistance did he let a victim choose how they were to die. Once in his life and now in this time and day.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:38am

"Surprise me..."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:44am

No hesitation, Jack sprung to his feet and grabbed Epps by the hair, knocking her down into the water. Changing his hand with his foot, she now lay under the water, trapped by her hair. Nearby, a set of nails and a hammer sit on the counter. Shifting his head, they came to him, now in his grasp.

Dunking himself under the water now, he grapped her palm and held it tightly against the bottom of the floor. Placing the nail straight into the middle of her palm, he took the hammer and drove it through.

He knew it was painful for her, even the screams told him so, but he continued hammering, blood mixing with the freezing water. He then moved to the next hand and did the same.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:49am

This looked like the end for our hero...she was dying. Losing oxygen, her screams were heard underwater, she closed her eyes tight. This would be over soon...

She held her breath, for over a minute. Then she couldn't hold it any longer. She fought to get up to the surface, but it was no good, she couldn't move.

She was screwed.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:57am

Sitting on the counter, he waited for her to die. 'Well, she could've went the easy way, but nope, she wanted to be surprised.'

Moving his hands into his shirt pocket to take out a pack of cigarettes, he groaned. The pack had been soaking wet and they were useless now.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 05:58am

With one last breath, the water turned blood red, as her eyes slowly closed, and her heart began to die down...

Epps...was dead.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 06:03am

Sensing her life force drifting away, he hoped back down into the water and dove under. There her body lay, as if frozen by the surrounding water. Grabbing her wrist, he takes the nail and extracts it from her flesh, more blood seeping out.

Right palm against right palm, he marks her. 'Round two, I win.'Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 06:09am

Epps's ghost, sat on the stairs, looking down at her body, she had a cigarette in her mouth, she took it out, breathing out the smoke. Well, it seemed like it, ghosts couldn't really breathe...

"Round 2?!" she rolled her eyes.

"You always win.." she muttered.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 06:12am

Heh, already one of them now? That was rather quick for someone to be that easily damned. None of the others came back so quickly. Guess she was eager.

"Of course," he grins, but underneath, mocking what he had done.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 06:15am

Indeed. She was very eager. To get away from her life. Nothing was left for her. Her parents were both dead, her job was shit. And her crew, her real family...was dead. And his might I add.

She got up from the stairs, walking down them, and threw the cigarette in the water, seeing how it lost it's taste. She headed out of the room, to go find Katie. She had to tell her...she had to make her forgive her...Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 06:18am

"Hey! When your done chatting up with the little pest, don't forget you have a job to finish," he yells to her down the hall.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 06:31am

"Yeah, yeah..." she muttered.

Epps turned right, heading down the hallway, and headed up the stairs. Suddenly, things looked a bit clearer, everything wasn't as dark and evil as it was.

The sun had yet to come up yet, but Epps was glad that it was still dark.

"Katie?" she looked around, searching for the little girl, she headed down B deck, into the ballroom, not a soul there.

She frowned, making her way back down to the storage area.

"She's gone..." she sighed.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 06:38am

Now to find out where the nearest dock was before Epps' fix-it job had failed.

Joyce wouldn't be happy at the thought of 200 free souls, but then again, he got Epps, he got his revenge. Managing to make his way to the captain's quarters, he searched around for a possible map of the pacific ocean, as well as the canadain country.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 06:42am

Sighing, she just sat back down on the step, looking at the water again. God this was boring...there was nothing left to do.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hours past...the sun finally came up...Dizzy held onto a piece of drift wood, shielding her eyes.

Her nose was no longer bleeding, but her heart was beating abnormally fast...she was afraid...

And the same thing was going to happen to her, some boat would pick her up, and in the ambulance she'd go...

Suddenly, as she wiped her eyes, a ship's horn was heard.

"Over here! Hey Hey! Over here!" she waved her arms, forgetting to balance her other arm on the board, and quickly sunk, but she kicked back up to the surface.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Later, Dizzy sat on the dock, wrapped in a blanket, waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

"You all right?" the coast guard asked her.

"Oh yeah...I love taking a swim at fucking 6:00 am in the morning..." she muttered.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Hekasha on Oct 14th, 2003, 11:14am

Consciousness came very slowly. Katie felt Joyce pick her up by the throat and shake her as if she was in an unclear dream. Heard Joyce's words..."If you kill someone, you go to hell..."

Katie gasped as she broke the surface. The water was three feet high, but it was calm. There was no more water seeping into the ship. Katie rose slowly, Joyce's words echoing back to her. If you kill someone you go to hell..." Go to hell... To hell...

Panic stirred in Katie's heart, as well as a sense of bitter triumph. So she hadn't imagined the souls she had freed. They were gone. They were free and unmarked. And Katie was no longer one of them.

The ship groaned and creaked. Looking around, Katie could see a rough patching job done on the walls around the engine room. Joyce was nowhere to be seen, nor was anyone else. A familiar feel of decay and slowly ticking time enveloped the ship, just like it had on the Antonia Graza for so long. So he had managed to patch the ship, keeping it afloat and therefore under his control. No matter. Katie had done what she had meant to do in blowing up the ship. She had let the free souls escape, and had kept Maureen and Dizzy from harm.

"Katie? Katie!"

Katie straightened at the sound of the familiar voice. She shook her head. Now was not the time for regrets. Epps and her daughter were far away by now, and would stay away.

"Katie?"

Katie swung around, expecting to find one of the demonesses playing some sort of trick on her.

"Shut up!" she screamed, "You've had your way, you have your ship and you have a great lot of marked souls that I didn't manage to keep from you! You won, I lost, I failed, now leave me ALONE!"

With that, Katie plopped down on a crate floating in the water. Keeping her balance, she crossed her legs in her normal ladylike way and burst into tears.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 11:25am

There Epps sat on the stairs, sucking on a red lollipop. Her hair was pulled back in a bun, with two curls hanging by her ears. Her dark green eyes no longer had a sparkle to them...and her skin was pale instead of her usual tan.

She wore a long black dress with black combat boots, and most importantly, had Katie's heart locket around her neck.

"Don't cry..." she smiled warmly, looking to the small girl.

Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Venomous Beauty on Oct 14th, 2003, 11:41am

Francesca hadn't made it to Katie only because she got a feeling that Joyce wanted her to blow up the ship. So she sat back and felt the explosion move through the ship. "Lovely..." she muttered as she was thrown on to the floor. She got up and brushed herself off. She looked down to her dress and made a face. "Last time i wear white." She made her way to her room and looked at herself in the mirror. Thoughts of all that she'd found out lingered in her mind. She was STILL taken by the fact she shared a child with Jack. Deep down it disgusted her, but in a completely odd way she almost liked it. "He's forever bound to me, and there's nothing he can do" she thought as she changed into her old red dress. She sat down on the bed and crossed her legs. She wondered what Jack was up to now...she felt him very far in a distance. Minutes later, she had a feeling which put a large smile on her face. She felt a new spirt in the air,and she knew exactly who it was. She sprung from her bed in astonishment, "Maureen Epps!" she yelled in shock, "I can't believe it, he actually killed her." she paused to think for a moment, "I wonder what this means now, maybe he did it so he can spend all of this..this existance with her." she dimmed her eyes, making winkles appear on the corners, as her mind wandered to see how she was killed. She saw that Jack had nailed her palms to the floor, so she drowned in her own bloody water. She took in a deep breath and bit her finger, holding back a sadistic laugh. "Welcome to my world..." Frantically, she concentrated on catching up with Sapphire. As she left her room, she was about to evaporate, but stopped dead in her tracks. She stared down the hall, watching the man she'd killed come towards her. "Mark.." she whispered as he now stand facing her. "I thought i'd find you here Francesca" he looked to her dress, "Um, looks very familiar." he gave a smile as he passed his hand from her shoulder to her waist. "I didn't expect to see you, so early." she just looked at him, thinking of what to say, "I had to do it Mark. It was either me, or someone else who would have done it in a beastly manner. Don't get me wrong, in the beginning i was looking forward to killing you, but i didn't want to be anything like [i]him[/him]" "Oh,i know...while you gave me my last kiss, i saw what happened to you..." She just nodded, "We can talk later if you please, i really want to find Sapphire." She grabbed his hand, then they both faded away. They appeared next to Sapphire with a blink of a eye. With a smile, she spoke, "She's dead...Epp's is finally dead." she sounded like a gossiping teenager, which she wasn't to happy about but she let it pass, after all, this was what she'd wanted from the beginning. There was almost nothing she liked more than to see 'the hero' fall.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 14th, 2003, 3:14pm

When Francesca and Mark appeared, Sapphire was outside leaning against a rail. She was looking out to the ocean and turned around hearing her she smiled happly. "i know isn't it wonderful.....only problem now is she'll be around her..... all the time" She nodes to mark smirking now "Well welcome abroad Mark"

She bit the tip of her thumb and sighed. "Yeah you must have guessed that the lil brat blew a hole in the ship?" she hummed to herself being bored once more. " Epps left Dizzy ... all alone....out in the deep blue sea, I sense she made it to land safely, but still what a nice mother" She laugh nastily, then stops almost at once. "So Fran, I her you have a daughter? Well, congrats on that" She lightly taps her on the shoulder. "I wish you were my mother, you are so much cooler then my old foster parents that I had" She frowned looking out into the ocean.

"There are so many ghost here yet I feel lonely, why is that fran.?" She asks duly, not looking up. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Venomous Beauty on Oct 14th, 2003, 3:39pm

Hearing Sapphire mention her daughter made her cringe. She throw up her hand, "Well, what can i say...really. I sure as hell was surprised, espcially since i tried to kill Chiara..." A low murmur of a laugh escaped from her throat at the thought of her shoting Chiara in the back. Mark looked at her, questioningly, "That woman was your daughter, she must be over 30 years old, but...you died..." "Forget it, that whole thing isn't worth explaining..it's just a major pain in my ass. Believe me, it's really fucked up." She moved over to Sapphire, whom seemed upset. Normally, Francesca didn't give a shit about people, but this girl was just like her and it was good to have people on her side. She put her arm around Sapphire,'I haven't done that in a long time' she thought. "Ohh, i don't think you'd want me to be your mother...i wouldn't want me to be my mother. I had no desire to have children, in fact, i hate children. So you probably would have hated me if i were your mother." she paused and looked her directly in the eyes, "You get what i'm saying. I may be 'cool' but not in a motherly way." Mark stood there and laughed She nodded her head in agreement,"Anyway, i do know what you mean. I've spent 40 years alone in that old death trap. I may be an evil, vengeful bitch, but non the less it's nice to have someone to talk to." she didn't know what to say really...she's not one to try and comfort people. "What you need, my dear, is to get laid and have a good drink...always does me wonders." She winked in Mark's direction and licked her lips. ' Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 14th, 2003, 4:13pm

"Looking for this?" she stood behind him holding a roll of maps in her hand.

Tossing them down she watched as they unrolled slighty, then cutting her gaze over to Jack she smiled softly.

"I'm an easy going being, all I want is something done, the right way the first time I ask it of someone.." Folding her hands behind her back she dropped her smile.

"You seem to have trouble catching on to the way things work...that's going to be a problem..." Taking a step forward she snached him up by the collar and lifted him at least a foot in the air.

Looking up at him Joyce could sense fear, but more abundently annoyence. "I'm all for second chances...but this was your second chance." Throwing him against the wall she sighed. "Sure a hell better hope third times the fucking charm.."

Twisting the knob to the door she stopped, "And tell Epps to come see me before you have her working..she needs help."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 5:59pm

"She's not working with me!" He shouts back, holding his throat for life.

Weird. He was dead, yet she was able to make him feel as though he were alive. Feel the pain of trying to get every ounce of life.

'Job. I ment for her to fix the rest of this ship. Not become like me.'

Hurt and pissed, Jack crawled to snatch up the maps. 'Thank you very much Joyce!'Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 14th, 2003, 6:03pm

"Oh don't worry about it, no trouble at all." She shook her head and sighed.

"You don't have to give her a bloody job if you don't want..just keep her in check since you don't want her to come to any harm..so sweet.."

Smiling cruelly she disappeared. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 6:07pm

Katie was once again Maureen's friend, she was so happy she wasn't angry with her. Katie had overheard every word that Jack and Joyce were quarreling over.

"He wants me to fix the fucking ship?! Is that all I'm good for?!" she bit down hard on the lollipop, munching on it with a crunch.

"That...stupid bastard...I should be home with my kid right now!" she grumbled, her long black dress soaked from the water, as she was sitting on the bottom step.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 6:12pm

Yeah, that's all she was basically used for.

But hey, at least she'd be with her old crew again, hadn't Jack at least done one good thing for her?

"You out of all things should be the one to decide!" Screaming at the top of his lungs to the blood soaked air.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 14th, 2003, 6:18pm

Joyce appeared again sitting on the desk infront of him, legs crossed smirking like always.

"Really?" Standing she squated down face level with his, "Why is that?"

Her breath was cold, and generally sent chills. Maybe she wanted to make him feel nervous or maybe she was just bored. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 6:27pm

You think I'd actually believe you would give me a choice to decide what's in store for this woman? She's a nuisance to the plan..."

He glares up at her, perhaps wanting more. "You've never given me a choice."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 14th, 2003, 6:38pm

"You know your a whinney little son of a bitch." Voice blunt and annoyed she sighed.

"No one gets a choice it's the way life works, now then you want her to be a damn salvager or not...you could use the help." Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 6:42pm

He frowns. Was not whinney at least he didn't feel it. And besides there was a difference. Whiners actually had emotion, where as, Jack was just complaining.

"I don't need any help," he was dependant on himself.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 14th, 2003, 6:47pm

Joyce flashed a quick smile and grabbed Jack by the neck driving him to the floor she removed a knife from her back pocket and whipped it open and held it to his cheek.

"Need help yet?"Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 6:51pm

"A knife?" Jack couldn't help but laugh. "Your supposed to be all evil and powerful, yet you harm me with a that little thing? Hell, Maureen did better than you,"

Excited and annoyed with everything, he couldn't help but talk back. It was in his nature.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 14th, 2003, 6:58pm

Joyce smiled and drove the knife into his cheek. "Better not want to get to good then, wouldn't want you to kiss me now would I?"

She pulled it out and moved down to his chest, humming lightly she carved out a smiley face, "Don't worry be happy." standing she ripped him up off the ground and sighed.

"Hope you think before you get mouthy again..or you won't have anything to get mouthy with." she ran her blood stained over his lips and tilted her head.

"You have yourself a nice little day." snapping her hand back she closed the knife and tossed it to him. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 7:08pm

He welcomed the pain. In fact, enjoyed the feeling of his own blood pouring onto his skin. Brought back memories of good and bad.

Clenching his eyes tight, he imagined it was Epps doing it to him...No! That wasn't right at all. His eyes went wide, not believing was he was feeling.

"Of course I'll watch what I'm saying next time. Wouldn't want to make you even bitchier now would I?"

He grabs onto the blade, the silver piercing his hand and cringes at his previous desire.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 7:13pm

Maureen laid back on the step for a moment, soaking wet, she was tired...and slowly got up onto her feet, ringing out her dress, and took the bobby pins out of her hair, shaking it out, so her curls were now all down.

She looked radiantly beautiful, and quickly trudged through the water, and left the storage area.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Management on Oct 14th, 2003, 7:22pm

"Your a little off you know that Ferrimen?" she looked back at him.

She couldn't help it the thought he'd just "shared" was extreamly creepy even for her.

At that point Joyce made it a point to stay out of other people's heads, it was far to dangerous not to.

"I want this piece of shit docked by sunrise...I don't care if you have to get out and push just get it done."Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 7:29pm

Was he feeling embarrasement just then? Sometimes, why couldn't that woman just stay out of his head? Wasn't fair being one with all the power.

"Don't worry. The boat will make it."

He hoped so...Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 7:30pm

Epps wandered up the stairs, and onto the deck, leaning on the railing. She took out a pack of cigarettes, and took one out, lighting it up, placing it to her lips.

"Oh...he's so screwed..." she looked at the sun rising.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Spectre on Oct 14th, 2003, 7:40pm

"I'm so screwed," he muttered, smacking his head, letting his fresh wounds heal.

Picking up a map, he studies it and finds out they're very close to a dock, but Jack doesn't know how to operate a ship, but she did...

Epps could fix anything...Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 14th, 2003, 7:46pm

As the cigarette finally lost taste, she threw it out to sea. Looking down at the water, sheilding her eyes from the sun. Her soaking wet dress began to slowly dry, but it outlined every curve of her body...which she hoped, and yes, prayed, that Jack found appealing.

Now that she was dead...perhaps she could give into her desires...and possibley fuck his brains out.

Epps snickered to herself, but frowned...she missed her life...and by now, she wouldn't be married, so what was she missing? Nothing...nothing at all.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by XXSapphireXStarXX on Oct 14th, 2003, 8:22pm

She brightened up a bit hearing some word of comfort from Francesca. She smiled her little innocent smile and began to hum. Stopping for a moment as she spoke. "Thank you Fran. I know what your talking about, I mean at least I have someone to hang out with on this damn ship" She says rolling her ice blue eyes to quickly look back at the ocean then back at her.

"But to tell you the truth, your sort of like a sister.....err figure I guess you can say. We are very much a like......its sort of scary. You know what, when we get on another ship....or more people come on this one......we should sing together" She says brightly, crossing her arms across her chest. "At least I heard you like to sing"

She snickered 'hearing her say get laid and have a drink'..." You bet your ass I would love to get laid ... but I guess we just might have to wait till more people arrive, which is hopefully soon, as for the drink...........that should be easy to get" She ends jamming her hand into her jean pockets and taking out a pack of cigarettes, she popped one in her mouth then offered one to mark and Fran. With her other free hand she garbed her lighter and light it up, taking a deep puff of the smoke. Then once again humming to herself. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Hekasha on Oct 15th, 2003, 01:27am

Having heard what had gone on between Maureen and Ferriman whilst she had been out of it, Katie's heart plummeted then gave a huge leap. Epps was dead. Katie hadn't managed to save her. In the end, it had been Katie's mistake with the dynamite that had damned her friend.

But this also meant that she and Maureen could stay together. As guilty as Katie felt, she wanted a friend, a confidante. Epps could be that person.

Overhearing Jack and Joyce's conversation had made Katie's skin crawl. Why was that bitch still hanging around? Why couldn't she leave them all alone?

Getting up, Katie wandered aimlessly up the stairs to the passenger decks. 'Here we go again,' she thought miserably as she trudged through the waist- deep water.

History had indeed repeated itself, and was continuing to do so. With any luck at all, Joyce and her evil minion Kevin would be leaving as soon as the bitch got her way and they docked, leaving the rest of them to lapse back into their old routine. Of course, that didn't count the additional emotional baggage involving Francesca and Jack; Katie wondered vaguely if Chiara would stay aboard with her parents or decide to leave. Plus the sickening infatuation Maureen and Jack harboured for each other; Katie tried not to think about that.

Looking down at her reflectionin the still waters, Katie wondered what would become of her. As Joyce had so proudly announced, Katie was now no longer sinless, no longer pure.

Catching a glimpse of something that had not been there before, Katie bent closer to inspect a funny blotch on her neck. Knowing with sick dread what she would find, Katie fingered the small scar that had been left when Joyce had choked her - the mark. The tiny hooked symbol caused Katie's stomach to convulse, and she promtly vomited into the rippling salt water around her. Katie rushed up the ladder and out of sight of the painful reflection, a wail of pain and hopelessness rising to her lips. Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 15th, 2003, 10:55am

Sure enough, there was Maureen in the Captain's Area, directing the large ship to the dock. She figured out if she concentrated long and hard, she could pick up things that other ghosts couldn't, without her hand going through it.

She held small rusty binoculars, looking out of them, at the dock. People were crowded around the dock area, staring at a young girl sitting on the dock. Dizzy. But Epps didn't recognize her...she didn't care even if she had.

Dizzy was shivering, sitting in a blanket, as an ambulance pulled in.

"Everything's gonna be okay..." a paramedic stated.

"Yeah...right..." Dizzy rolled her eyes.

"You have to commit an immediate search to the sea...get the coast guard, get someone, my mother is lost at sea..." she frowned.

"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do." they said as they helped her up, and got her onto the stretcher, sticking a needle into her wrist.

"There is something you can do, damn it!" she hissed through gritted teeth, like her mother, she hated needles.

Epps switched off the engine to the ship, stepping down from the small platform, she proceeded to walk out onto the deck, leaning on the railing once more, staring at the people.

"We're in trouble..." if she had a heart, it would quicken it's living pace.

All those people...the press was out there, asking Dizzy questions...paramedics...too many people...and with only a couple people coming off the boat. Not to mention the large gash in the side of it.

What would people think? What would Jack do? What would Joyce say? All these things were wandering in our young Maureen's mind.

She had no idea what she was dealing with, and finally, was suffering the consequences of her desire for the young man addressed as Jack Ferriman Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Hekasha on Oct 15th, 2003, 11:13am

Katie peeked over the rail at the dock. There was a large crowd gathered there, all centered around a small figure wrapped in a thermal blanket. Looking a little closer, Katie confirmed what her mind told her: it was Dizzy. And if the kid didn't get out of the way, she would most likely be brought on board.

With a sigh of relief, Katie saw the girl get into the ambulance and get driven away. Katie looked over at Maureen, wondering if she had recognized her daughter. There was no sign of it.

Katie allowed herself to breathe easier, but not for long. If she had learned anything the past few days, it was not to underestimate the evil forces at work here. Pushing away from the rail, Katie prayed that Joyce, Jack and whoever else was watching hadn't seen what she had seen.Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Venomous Beauty on Oct 15th, 2003, 11:39am

Chiara quickley became tired of marking the people. "This is bullshit," she muttered to herself, "Why does it seem like i'm the only one doing this shit! If he wants it done, he can do it himself..." She left her words trail off as she walked out of the room. By this time, Chiara was most definitley interested in the new woman onboard...after all, she found it very interesting that Jack was gaining feeling for the woman, or so she sensed he was. "Old Francesca must not be too happy with the competition" she laughed as she rejoined woth her newly discorved mother. Once there, she rudly interupted the conversation between Sapphire, Fran, and the man she stabbed in the stomach, "Ohh, look, my mother has a friend...i thought you were this heartless bitch, from what Jack told me anyway." she smirched, "Speaking of Jack, mother, did you know that Jack really has this sick fantasy obsession with the new chick, whatever her name is. Just thought i'd let you know he wants to fuck her like theres no tomorrow. But, you shouldn't really care, seeing how you hate him so much, right?" she laughed, she loved being an instagater. Just because Fran was her mother, didn't mean she had to be NICE. "Anyway, i have to catch up with the little fuck bunny, i'm sick of being here, i need the night life, i need to be in the world...seeing how i can leave and all, i may, but don't worry MOMMY, i'll be here to visit." she giggled, seeing the look on Francesca's face. "If i do indeed leave, i'll let you know."She passed a cheap smile to Sapphire, "Hey, you could play the role of daughter if i leave, seeing how close you are with my mother." She grabbed her chin with her hands, as if Sapphire fire were a little girl, and and moved her head back and forth, then left to talk with Jack

Francesca rolled her eyes as Chiara talked to Sapphire, "She truely makes me sick...just like Jack, i guess she got that from him." "Sapphire, i'm going to welcome Epps aboard, extend myself and be a good person..." she smiled warily at the thought of her doing such an obsene thing."You should come along too, show her we're here for her" She was laughing aout loud now, but inside she was pissed. 'What does he see in that woman...i don't understand why he has this desire for her...' she thought. She was once again beyound disgusted at Jack and at herself, for being somewhat jealous. "Anyway," she spoke quietly,"I see she's in the Captins area, so lets drop in a chat...what do you say." With that Francesca concentrated her energy to the Captins area, and was now standing behind Epps, she smiled;"Why, that is a lovely dress Maureen...i think you look worlds better now, now that you've come to the otherside..." " Re: Drifting out to sea continued Post by Sinner With A soul on Oct 15th, 2003, 11:45am

Epps smirked slightly, turning around to see Francesca. She couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"I hate dresses...this is just what Hell thought I'd like I guess." she muttered.

"But thanks..." she looked right through her, as if she was trash. Utter...complete...trash.
