Chapter 6: A Friendly Duel
"Bloody hell I'm hungry!" Kit exclaimed loudly while heading over to the galley. It was lunchtime and both she and Faye had worked hard that morning.
"Yeah, I'm tired already!" Faye said while wiping some sweat off her brow. Will came up behind them.
"You know, the work will only get harder the more you moan and whine about it." He gave them a quick wink and went below deck to the galley, as they followed behind him shaking their heads and rolling their eyes.
"You know Will, ye already sound like a pirate," Faye stated when they got down.
Jack laughed. "Aye, we'll make him one in no time!"
They all sat at the wooden table in the galley and started to eat ravenously. Will looked thoughtfully at the two female pirates eating their food.
"Say, you two?" he asked regarding them both. They looked up at him.
"Eh?" asked Kit through a mouthful of food.
"Well, I've already heard from Jack that you're a really good swordsman . . . I mean woman, Kit." She beamed proudly. "But I don't know about you, Faye."
Faye swallowed and looked him in the eye. "Aye, I can swordfight. What, ye wanna duel or something?"
Will thought about it for a moment before nodding and saying, "You're on."
* * *
After lunch, they all stood on deck in the noon-day sun. Faye drew her sword and watched as it caught the sun's beams on the blade. Will took out his sword as well.
"Ready, Willy boy?" Faye asked while smiling.
Will got into a fighting stance. "Ready."
Will thrust his sword forward as Faye blocked his moves, lunging at every chance she got. Will blocked vigorously and swiped low.
"Ah!" Faye jumped and almost lost her balance.
Will parried as she stumbled. "You need to be more flexible on your feet!"
She got her balance and threw her sword forward, barely missing his flesh. "How's that?"
Will dodged and looked reproachfully at her before lunging again. The two swords clanged.
"This is gonna take a long time, isn't it?" Jack asked Kit amusedly.
Will bore his sword upon Faye's.
"Aye, that it shall," replied Kit with a grin.
Faye brought her sword up in defense. "Well, well Turner, you're good . . ."
Will brought his sword back in a crescent-moon shape. "Thank you, I practice three hours a day!"
Faye swung her sword again and dodged his oncoming blow. "You're not a eunuch, are you?" She laughed as she blocked his hits.
Will parried on jumped onto the railing to miss a swipe. "No, I'm not!" He could hear Jack's laughter behind him as he took a step backwards on the railing.
"Will, watch out!" Faye called as he took a step back and nearly fell.
"Ah!" He leaned forward and righted himself before falling over the side of the ship.
"Faye, this is your opening!" Kit yelled from somewhere behind her.
Faye leaped forward onto the railing. Will staggered backwards and blocked her blows as best he could until he found his sword flying out of his hand and Faye's sword-tip pointing right at him. He looked up to meet her triumphant smile.
"Yeah! Go Faye!" Kit cheered as Elizabeth rolled her eyes.
"Well, Will, what do you have to say?" Faye asked him in a light voice.
He looked at her for a moment and then smiled. "I say you beat me fair and square, Miss Faye."
"Why thank ye, Will." They dropped back onto the deck and shook hands.
Jack suddenly leaned out on the railing and shouted, "Land ho! Tortuga in sight!"
They all joined Jack at the railing and peered out. Tortuga was in fact out ahead of them.
"Tortuga!" breathed Faye excitedly.
Jack rushed up to the helm as Kit looked at the oncoming land with a smile. There was that mischievousness gleam in her eyes again.
"Wonder what will happen next?" she murmured amusedly.
A/N: Yay, a swordfight! And there's more to come, so stay tuned! Oh yes, and there shall be more of Kit, since there has been more of Faye lately. They are BOTH the main characters, and so we'll build on their personalities more, so don't ye worry! Next, you'll learn more about the treasure . . . Muahaha!
Nev: Ah, shut up.
Pip: *frowns* Don't tell me to shut up!
Nev: Fine, then . . . SHUT YER TRAP!
