"If anything happened to the ship you could fix it, right?" Will asked. Casey sighed, how she would pull of carpenter if she's never even had her hands on a piece of wood.
"Yeah," she said enthusiastically, "I hope," she added under her breath. Noticing the boy didn't seem quite sure of his statement Elizabeth questioned what he said.
"I was just thinking about what I'd do," Casey replied. As Casey eased her mind about wood, her carpentry "skill" would soon be necessary. A loud bang was heard near The Carefree as the kraken broke part of something. Casey had no idea how to fix wood, but exactly what it sounded like when it snapped into pieces.
"Perfect, when it leaves you can fix that," Jack exclaimed. Casey didn't share his enthusiasm. For the past 15 minutes they've been standing on the island, Casey had the urge to rip her sword off. It was awful annoying and she tried moving it. This made Casey feel better, but caught the eye of someone else. Will eyed this boy's sword and said,
"What a lovely sword, may I see it?" Not making herself obvious she handed to him like there was no problem. He held the sword up and looked at it.
"I suppose you've been trained as a swordsman too," he stated looking at the skill put into the making of it. Casey thought of how to word her experience.
"Not really, I can handle one pretty well though," she stated. Inside she smiled, indirectly she had just told the man who taught her how to use a sword that she could handle one. Looking closer at the sword, something caught Will's eye. A formation on the handle looked similar to one he'd made a while ago.
"This looks similar to one I've made recently. Where'd you get it," he asked. This question immediately caused the happy feeling in Casey to disappear. I can't just tell him I borrowed it from him two weeks ago, shoot, I never asked him to borrow it, does this mean I stole it? Ah!
"My uncle," she covered up.
"Where's he located?"
"Tortuga." Casey covered up.
"You live there?"
"Yes," she answered. Will took this in and thought of how many other blacksmiths there were spread out throughout the world and that any sword could look similar to ones he's made. Interrupting the conversation was none other than Jack Sparrow.
"I think I hired you there, it's very vague, you know, rum mate," he exclaimed.
"Yeah," Casey agreed. Thank god this man was drunk, hopefully.
"You didn't tell us this," Elizabeth stated.
"Totally slipped my mind…" Jack started.
"We know, rum," his friends finished in unison. Elizabeth rolled her eyes and walked away. Will handed the boy his sword and he greatly accepted it.
"I don't think we'll be leaving tonight," he stated.
"Me neither! I need rum," Jack announced walking towards a longboat, which for his convenience had plenty of rum.
"You may be of use to us," Will said to himself.
Later that night "Sam" sat by a fire staring out to the ocean. Willy decided to walk over and ask why he looked upset.
"You seem upset," he stated.
"A lot of things have happened to me recently, I'm very confused," Casey replied.
"Does your sister ever get involved with your arguments?"
"Yeah, she's on my side, usually," Willy answered. Casey wondered if her brother's statement was true and just looked at the sand.
She stood up and announced, "I'm going to take a walk." She walked for a stretch of beach and as soon as the people were small specks. Casey then began to run, run and not look back, until she collapsed on the sand. Pulling herself together, she sat up and kicked her hat. Wiping the tears that were streaming down her face, she looked up at the sky and tried to find the reason why she didn't just tell her parents it was her. Unfortunately she was not alone. A group of monkeys (undead) was watching her from the outskirts of the forest. The leader, who after the death of his master gave up on being a pirate monkey and joined some other monkeys on an island, crept out ahead of the other two monkeys he was with and threw a coconut at Casey. Before she could realize she was just hit by an object, Casey was unconscious. The monkeys crept out and looked at her. Their leader screeched and they left her there.
