Minara shrugs. "How should I know?..." Her smirk, which before was as harmless as harmless could be(not), turns wicked and cruel. "Besides, if they try, I'm sure I can think of a few....accidents....they might run into along the way...." Again she laughs, but this time the sound is filled with just a bit more malice, and a feral gleam dances in her ice-blue eyes.

((Umm...how long is it gonna take you guys to rach the island? Cause I think it would be cool if we sort of got there *grins*))
Suddenly a shudder went through the boat, sending cutlery and bowls flying. Devina was thrown to the floor, immidietly she rolled back up, and staggered to the door. She threw it open and stared out in amazement. The sea was behaving in way she had only seen once before. A very long time ago with her father, and then again on her own. They were nearing it. Quickly. "Pull down the sails and stow them!" she cried lock the wheel in position and hold onto smothing!" The ship lurched again, and a massive wave swept over them.

(Alright...We're gonna reach it soon...)

Minara stands up and winks at Jack. "Just you watch my crews work...." She goes to the door and stalks out of it, whip in hand. Sneaking along the fo'c'sle (forecastle), she reaches the galley door and slams it open, standing framed in the lantern light.
"Move yer useless hides NOW!!!!! We're sailin' outta here this very minute, an' I want this ship goin' 'er fastest, we gotta meet the others 'round the headland...." A cruel smile slithers over her face and the whip in her hand seems to twitch in anticipation.
The crew leap to their feet and throw hasty salutes, all but crashing into each other as they try to get out the door. Minara laughs and follows them out, shutting the door behind her.
Making her way to the stern, she grabs hold of the wheel as the sails are unfurled and the ship gets underway. As they make their way out to sea, they round the headland and her other two ships are waiting for them, the 'Wavelash' and the 'Whipspray'.
Minara throws back her head and lets out a chilling screech that echoes across the water, and activity on the other two boats commences, and then the three ships head out towards the open sea, the 'Seascourge' in the lead as the moon shines down on the restless waves.

A great wall of water reared up, and smashed against the deck. The sails were coming down fast, and the crewmember scuttleing below deck.

Chris hanged on a rope trying not to go over board as the wave hit the ship, he looked at the weather in disbelief as he had thought it to be cloudless and calm. He looked at Devina and stumbled closer on the slippery deck as another wave crashed at the ship and Chris was thrown at the cabin door, which cracked by his weight.

He layed on the ground trying to get his head working,

"Oh god." whispered Devina "Oh god, oh god, Oh GOD!" Two walls of water had arisen around the boat, which was now starting to turn very fast. She gazed upwards, and saw the patch of stormy sky become less and less as the ship slowly floated and spun downwards.

Chris got up after few seconds and stumbled outside to look around him, he swalloved and took his hat off as he motioned a cross on his chest when they went downwards.

Devina prazed silentlz in her head that there was something to break their fall....

Minara whirls around to see Jack being tackled and crew members jumping off the ship. With a snarl that turns into a keening shriek and crack of her whip, silence reigns, the crew stops dead in their tracks.
"Useless idiots!!!!!!!!!! Drin, throw those braindead scumbags a rope and haul 'em up!! Now!! You three, let Jack up this very minute, or yer all on deck swabbin' an' night duty!!! NOW!!!!!!"
She lashes out with the whip, catching a few of the men holding Jack across their rears and they leap up, looking rather indignant. With a smirk, she walks over to Jack hauls him to his feet. "He's not a ghost, he just has skin problems....One of them being that he has no skin... Ignore it, or ten lashes t'each o' ye...."
A cruel smile flickers over her face. Drin hauls the jumpers up and the whole crew stand staring. Minara cracks the whip in their faces and they scatter, all going back to their appointed tasks. Most of them are used to odd happenings, they just get startled very easily, and soon stop muttering about Jack's odd complexion.
Minara yanks Jack into her cabin and slams the door shut behind them, one of the crew having fixed it while they got underway.
"Jack, are y'brainless as well?!!?!?!!? My crew can get used to it, as long as it don't come as a shock!! D'you WANT a mutiny?!?!?!?!...." She sighs, and shakes her head. "An' I made th'mistake o' thinkin' y'were smarter'n that..."
Her accent comes out whenever she gets angry, and now that she is not in front of the crew, her fangs slide down as well, gleaming wickedly in the candle-light. "Be careful, or I'll throw you off the ship.... But don't take it personally..." Minara resumes her sly grin. "'Tis only business...."

Minara looks at him, noticing he looks rather queasy. "Jack, are you alright?... What is it you were tryin' t'tell me earlier?...." She sighs and sits down on the desk, shoving her chair over to him but keeping her distance from him, in case this is some sort of trick. Suddenly, a clunk sounds outside and Minara gets to her feet, her whip in hand. She opens the door and roars into the wind that's started to pick up. "Whatever y'did wrong, FIX IT!!! Or it's y'neck on th'choppin' block!!!!!..." Minara turns back to face Jack, a deceptively innocent smile on her lips. "Now, where were we?..."
