Rachel nods, and walks in the direction of the monkeys, where the crew should still be at. Looking back for a small moment to make sure Katherine was released, she continues on.
After a nice tread through some bushes, she reaches the Monkeys, and most of the crew was still in the area. Rachel scans the crew to see that the one named Jamie Gallows was not in the clearing, but on the beach that was rather close to the area the monkeys were gathered.
She motioned to the Native to stay with the others, as she walked out to the beach, she then notices that John Rackham was also on the beach, "You two, come with me, and that is an order," Rachel then walks back to the rest of the crew, "you guys too, come with me." She begins to walk back to the area that Katherine was at.

The leader of the small group of natives followed the woman, he needed to make sure she would get her companions and then bring them and herself back to the group.
As the two were gone, the two natives left with Katherine grumbled to eachother, on how foolish their leader was, if he wanted to get the woman to come they should have knocked her out and dragged her with them.
The leader waits for her companions to follow her, he would stay behind the group to make sure nobody decided to run away.

The moment Rachel left Nicolas' company, he lifted his form and brushed the small monkey aside with his boot. With a crack of his neck, he continued about his own business, acting as if the woman leaving did not bother him in the least. Silently, he cursed his poor behavior during those past few days. Usually he had such a great luck with the women. Stretching again and checking his sabor for possible damage while venturing through the jungle, Nicolas was glad to find no serious nics to the blade. As he had been checking, he did hear the faint sound of quick movement through foliage and strange voices.
Turning his head, the elf realised that the noises were coming from the direction his captain had left towards. Thinking back to when he had last seen Katherine, he realised she had been alone. As though something snapped within the male, he realised this would be the perfect opportunity to prove himself. Having lived a life as an elf, he never truly felt the need to prove himself worthy, but Katherine was his captain and if he found a way on her good side, he could easily be promoted beyond the uncapable crew mates and even more possibly catch her fancy.
Before he had began in the direction, he heard a sudden scream. Judging by both the distance and the pitch, he assumed it had been his captain and she was in more danger than he could have imagined! In an instant, the pirate's blade was wielded within his hand and he was running to her aid.
Once he arrived in their company, he noticed that Rachel had been speaking with a strange native and instead of acting like his usual self, he remained hidden behind a tree. It was only until Rachel had turned to leave that Nicolas appeared from behind the tree and looked towards the remaining natives and Katherine. With his blade still drawn, he prepared for an attack on their part.

John gave a sift sigh and stood, he wasn't sure what was going on but it probably wasn't a good thing. Perhaps Bit will come in handy, he thought. Having been given permission to keep the moenky John had finished feeding it and been pleased when it showed no signs of trying to escape. Even as he followed Rachel to God only knew where Bit was following him.

A scream. It was most likely someone finally getting bitten by one of those flea infested furballs. Jamie then jumped as a voice behind her barked orders. She turned swiftly on her heels in the sand, a dagger drawn in her hand. Her sky blue eyes landed on Rachel and she nodded. Yet, she was slightly confused as to what was occuring. It must have been something urgent if there was no time to explain. Jamie darted after the blonde whom had ordered her to follow, her small form crossing the beach rather swiftly before entering the jungle's edges.
She slashed at small branches and vegetation in her way as she ran, trying to keep up with the woman with longer legs. Jamie tossed her braid ove rher shoulder and wiped her bangs form her vision. Something had to have been terribly wrong. The sense of urgency filled the surrounding jungle and Jamie couldn't help but wonder if it had to do with that scream she had heard not long ago.
Certainly a simple bite from a monkey wouldn't cause this much chaos. A strange man came into view as Jamie followed Rachel and her blue eyes narrowed on him. It had to be the Captain. Jamie concluded, knowing very well that so much effort would not be made to help a meagle ship mate.
"What is this?" Jamie asked, motioning towards the native man with her dagger. She spoke of the situation and what the Captain had gotten them all into. Jamie remembered back to the arrow head she and Nicolas had found and laughed inwardly seeing as how there were people on the island.

Arrin sat quietly on the jungle floor, braiding some strands of grass together to make a sort of collar for her new companion. The monkey sat on her shoulder, chittering to itself occasionally and running its hands through her hair. She wasn't sure what she was going to call it yet, but she liked the sound of "Rush". It didn't really have any particular significance, just a nice sound to it. All at once, the stillness of the clearing was broken by a shriek, and the Master-at-Arms was shouting for the crew to follow her.
Arrin looked up from her monkey, surprised by Rachel's abrupt order. Then her brain kicked in and she noticed the natives standing around. They didn't look particularly friendly. She got to her feet hastily, stuffing the braided grass in her pocket to finish another time. She hurried after Rachel, wishing she had procured a better weapon the last time they were in port. It also worried her that the Master-at-Arms was giving orders; she usually didn't, so the logical conclusion was that the captain was in some kind of trouble. And, well...even if the captain was half-mad, anything that could cause her trouble was probably worth worrying about. Arrin walked faster, making sure she stayed near her crewmates. The last thing she wanted was to get cut off from the people who were at least somewhat friendly, not to mention good fighters.

Katherine groaned, wondering which class of english warship had fallen on her. She lay quietly on the grass for a few minutes, waiting for the pain to recede so she could open her eyes without spilling the contents of her stomach.
When she finally did, the captain was so startled by the fierce faces above her that she yelped and immediately squeezed her eyes shut again. She opened them again several minutes later to find that the islander's faces had not gone away, and had in fact become more fierce.
Ignoring the spears held threateningly near to her face, Katherine sat up and wished she hadn't. Looking at the natives with her one good eye, she decided to try to communicate intelligently with them.
"Pointy things bad." When this produced nothing but puzzled stares from the islanders, and no lowering of pointy things, Katherine stood up and prepared to explain with a series of interesting hand gestures.
Just when she was explaining that she was the messenger of the most exalted lord of the sky, Katherine noticed another person standing awkwardly in the clearing. She dropped her hands and spat on the ground, a gesture that even the confused natives understood.
"I should have known a stinking elf would be the first to mutiny. And to use barbarians as your cronies. No doubt my crew was far too loyal to be swayed by your plots. Humor me, what lies have you told them that you might slip away to capture me?"

Gabriel follows the rest of the group, hoping to find out what is up with Rachel and this native, and the fact that the Captain is missing. He looks around to see that another person seemed to be missing, it was the one named Nicolas he was an Elf.
Gabriel's face looks more pleased at the thought of the Elf missing. 'Good riddance, those Elves are nothing but trouble,' he thought to himself, remembering what he was told before he ran away from his home.
Rachel looks behind herself, hearing the Native's words rather clearly. "Everyone, hurry up, we have very little time before nightfall, and by what I have just heard, you don't want to be in the jungle after dark."
Hoping the words from the Native, translated so the other's could understand, would scare the crew into following her without pauses, she continues on through the bushes, finally ending up back at the clearing. To her surprise, the captain was awake and the natives seemed to be ready to attack something but what could it be?

When Katherine began to wake, Nicolas hurried by her side, both loyalty and determination his reason to do so. He ignored the ignorant expressions of the natives and kept an eye on the woman's behavior, though she seemed both frightened and shocked by the natives presense. Once she had finally gained enough bravery to stand on her own, she was attacking him!
Narrowing his eyes onto the woman, he merely smirked, "I should have expected no less from you dear Katherine." Like he acted in many other situations, the male had remained calm and collected, facing the woman who had so clearly lost her cool before the others of her own crew. At this moment, it would not take any words from the male to make Katherine appear like a fool. Dispite the hatred many of his crew members had felt for Nicolas, it was clear by the lack of communication between him and his crew that he had planned no mutiny and that their own captain was showing a sudden suspicious in nothing. This same suspicioun could easily develop into a weakness and prove to be her downfall.
With arms crossed, the male prepared to speak again, when suddenly the tribal men about his captain surrounded him with their spears. Though he strained to keep an eased expression, his mind was racing a mile a minute. With his sabor in hand, he could have easily removed a hand holding one of the spears, distracting the tribal people for long enough to escape, but something told him they would not harm him if he set his blade down. Sadly, Nicolas would never set his prized sword on such a disgusting soil bottom. Lowering it slowly, he hoped that would suffice.
