Part 1
Good lord, how long is this going to take? Emma thought as she watched Norrington strut down the courtyard. Pompous idiot. She muttered under her breath. Emma looked at her 19 year old sister Elizabeth, who was at the moment fanning herself greatly looking pale.
Thankfully the ceremony ended soon and Emma took this chance to run to the black smith's shop.
Not only were they very good friends but Will was teaching Emma to sword fight. But when she got there Will wasn't there and Mr. Brown was snoring in a chair with a rum bottle in his hand. Emma smiled and shook her head. She knew that Will was the one who put Mr. Brown into a deep sleep. She suddenly heard the door open. She thought that it might be funny to sneak up on Will. So she hid herself in a dark corner. But when she saw that it wasn't Will she was very glad that she had decided to hide. The man that walked through the door was a handsome man to say the least. His hair was just below the shoulder and was in dread locks and had a red bandana over it, his beard was braided and he had all sorts of beads in his hair and beard. But his eyes were another story. They were so brown that they almost looked black. He had shackles on his hands and looked like he was trying to find a way to get them off.
Mr. Brown dropped his bottle letting it hit the ground with a thud. The man turned around to investigate the noise. Oh! Bugger! Emma thought to herself. You just had to go and drop the bloody bottle didn't you?
The man walked over, well more like swaggered drunkenly, and poked him. Then turned around and shouted at him just to make sure that he really was asleep. Then went off to try and get his shackles off. He took a hammer and tried to hammer the chains to break them. She tried not to laugh at his feeble attempts. He finally gave up and looked around the shop then smirked. He picked up a tool from the fire then went to the donkey and burned his ass. The donkey started to run around in circles. The man suddenly went up to the mechanics of the contraption the Will had built to hold his weapons. The chains broke and he turned around looking smug with himself. Suddenly Will stepped through the door, and took off his coat. He turned and looked at Mr. Brown.
"Right where I left you." He said to himself. He turned to the anvil and saw the hammer. "Not where I left you." Will then saw the mysterious man's hat. As he reached for it a sword landed on his hand. He turned and saw the man with a sword in his hand pointing it at Will as if to challenge him.
"You're the one their looking for. The pirate." Will said. He had an expression of anger on his face. Emma knew that Will did not like pirates at all where as she and Elizabeth found them the most interesting people. Ah. That must be why he looks so…different. Emma thought. She wanted to come out from her hiding spot but thought better of it because as fascinating as she found pirates she didn't know what this man would do to her if he knew that she was there. The next thing that Emma knew was that Will had a sword in his hand. "You threatened Miss. Swann." Will said dangerously.
He did WHAT?! Emma wanted to scream but covered her mouth to stop herself.
"Only a little." The pirate said smirking. This set Will off because he swung his sword around attacking the pirate. The pirate knew what he was doing with a sword so he was giving Will quite a workout. The fight went on for a while but then the pirate turned to leave. Will threw his sword at the door making it impossible to leave that way. The man jiggled the sword then the latch. Emma tried and failed to suppress her giggle at the way the man was practically jumping up and down. Will turned with a raised eyebrow looking around to see where you were. But the pirate, on the other hand had not heard you.
"You're very good. I'll give you that but your now weaponless and still in my way." The pirate said holding the sword at Will. At this point Will was looking a little worried. But he turned around and grabbed the sword that was in the fire. It sizzled a little bit and that freaked out the donkey. So it started walking in circles again.
Both men started fighting, sparks where flying everywhere from the hot unfinished sword that Will was using. They jumped under the contraption that Will had made and where fighter there. It was then that the pirate saw all the swords that Will had made with them.
"Who makes all these?" the pirate asked.
"I do. And I practice with them three hours a day."
"You need to find yourself a girl, mate. Or perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch are you?" the pirate said looking down then up quickly.
"I practice three hours a day so that when I meet a pirate I can kill it!" Will said.
Emma lost track there for a minute to chuckle about what the pirate said. They both ended up in the rafters above. Will had been able to knock the sword from the pirate's hand. They both scrambled down quickly. The next thing she knew was that the pirate was facing Will with a gun pointed at him.
"You cheated." Will stated.
"Pirate." The man said smirking.
Will moved again. In front of the only other door so that he was blocking the pirate's only other escape route. The Navy officers were pushing up against the door. Emma pushed herself into a dark corner not wanting to be seen. She knew that Norrington was with them and if he saw her it would only cause trouble for Will which she did not want. She did not want to give Norrington to hate Will even more than he did now.
"Move." The pirate demanded.
"No!" Will said.
"Please move?" the pirate tried to ask nicely.
"No. I can not just let you escape." Will said.
The pirate cocked his pistol and pointed it to Will's face. "This shot was not meant for you."
Will looked confused for a minuet, but straightened up ready to die for what he believed in. Bloody hero. Emma thought. Just then here was the sound of breaking glass. It was then that she realized that the pirate was looking right at her. Their eyes caught for a second but then the pirate fell face forward to the ground unconscious and Mr. Brown stood behind him with a broken rum bottle in his hand.
Just then all the Navy officers burst through the door, surrounded the pirate and aimed their guns at him. Then Norrington came through the door. "Well done, Mr. Brown. You just aided in the capture of a dangerous pirate."
"Just doing my civic duties, sir." Mr. Brown slurred.
Will rolled his eyes and Emma smiled. They knew that Mr. Brown was a good for nothing drunk.
"Well gentlemen. Remember this as the day that Captain Jack Sparrow almost escaped." Norrington said standing over Jack's body looking at him in disgust.
So the is the infamous Jack Sparrow that Elizabeth and I read about? Emma thought to herself as the men took Jack away. Mr. Brown left to go get more rum. Will turned around looking for Emma.
"Ok Emma you can come out now." He said.
Emma came out from her hiding spot and walked up to Will. "Thank you, for not saying anything when I laughed."
"Well I didn't want you to get hurt or anything." Will said.
"I know." Emma said quietly. "That is why you are such a great friend to me."
"I know. Do you still want to practice today?"
"Actually I should get back home so that I can go check on Elizabeth." Emma said and walked out the back door.
