"Slow down, little girl, this is just practice!" Will laughed, as the nine year old girl was attacking him with all her might.She had very long black hair, and great pale green eyes, like her mother's, though not at all as full of trouble and loss, but of laughter and innocence.She grew into a sweet, good little child.Will and her were fighting in the barn.
"Even during practice you have to try your best, don't you, daddy?" she smiled back.
"That's true, Hope." answered Will.
"But I won't have to fight anyone, anyway, so I don't see why we practice an hour a day, every day."she said.Will has been training her and his own son, Will Jr., known as Bill so there wouldn't be any confusion, an hour each.Bill went back to the house after his hour of practice.
"You don't like practicing?" Will asked, surprised.
"Oh, yes, I do!" she said, her eyes shining as she blocked an attack. "I just don't see why..."She strained a little as she put all her weight into a slash, which wasn't at all much."Is it to kill pirates? My teacher told us a story a few days ago...about a pirate that came here a long time ago.She said they were frightfully evil, and they all deserve death.Bill said he would kill any pirate that would attack here."
Will was listening to her and didn't notice that she cleverly swept him off his feet.He landed in a pile of straw, and Hope pointed the tip of her blade at his throat for a second, then laughed, and tried to help him up, though he was way too big for her little self.
Will, instead, pulled her down also, and pulled her into a hug.It was not fair that this precious little girl was not his...that she would be someday taken away."What did you teacher tell you about that pirate?"
"She said he came here and stole a girl...that there was great mission to get her back, because he wanted to kill her. And then, he came back, and killed a lot of guards."She said.
Well, that was not exactly the story, but Will didn't want to tell her.Then, he'd eventually have to tell her that she was not his real daughter. "Did she tell you his name?"
"Yes, Jack Sparrow...he's supposed to be very famous...and very terrible." She said eagerly, glad that her dad showed interest in the subject she was actually completely facinated by.She loved the sea, and wished her dad was a sailor instead of a blacksmith, so she could go and sail with him.
"Captain Jack Sparrow"Will corrected her, and smiled at himself at the memory of his old friend always having to repeat that.
"Will me and Bill have to kill pirates, daddy?" she asked excitedly.
"That's Bill and I, dear, and not all pirates are bad...there are a few who you would really like, actually.But let's hope that we won't have to meet any, ok?"He said, and the girl smiled at him in response, and nodded her head. He really hoped that they wouldn't have to meet any pirates.It would mean having to give up his Hope."Let's go back home now, dinner will be ready soon." he said, and got up.
"I'll stay here and practice a litle more, dad, we haven't been here for an hour, yet."The little girl declared, and so she stayed.
It was dark when she finished training, and she was about to to leave the house, when someone suddenly dropped down from the beams of the barn, and blocked her way.
"'Ello, love!"Grinned a dirty looking man.
