"You need to find yourself a girl, mate!" The pirate said to Will as
Catalina gasped and backed into a shovel propped up against the wall. It
toppled sideways and Catalina reached in desperation to catch it, but
missed. The shovel fell to the floor with an earsplitting clatter as
Catalina cringed. Will and the pirate looked towards her in shock.
Suddenly the pirate let a grin cross his face, revealing a few gold teeth
is his mouth. "Hello there, love" he crooned and turned back to Will, "Or,
perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you've found this
pretty thing of a lady, and are otherwise incapable of wooing said
strumpet. You're not a eunuch, are you?"
Will continued to fight shooting worried glances in Catalina's direction. "She," he said with a supremely forceful blow, "would be my sister."
The pirate wrinkled his nose and shrugged as his sword connected with Will's. "Suppose she wouldn't be your girl then would she. Well good sir, tell me, why the obsession with sharp things?"
"I practice three hours a day," said Will, knocking the pirates sword to the ground, "so that when I meet a pirate, I can kill it!" Suddenly, it seemed all the ranks of soldiers were at Mr. Brown's front door that, Catalina noticed, was jarred shut with a sword. She knew Will must've thrown it to lock the pirate in. And now, after what must have been an enormous battle, Will stood, his sword poised just like a snake ready to strike. It appeared that this man was defeated. But not, the pirate ripped an old revolver from his belt. "You cheated!" Will stared at the pirate in utter dissatisfaction.
The pirate rolled his eyes and looked at Will as a condescending teacher would. "Pirate." he reminded him. "Move away."
Catalina looked at her brother pleadingly, who was now eye to eye with a revolver. "No," he cried.
Narrowing his eyes on the back door behind Will, the pirate sighed. "Please. Move!"
"No!" Will stood his ground stubbornly.
"Ugh!" Why was he so damn noble, Catalina thought. She stepped forward, "Will, don't be stupid about this."
The pirate nodded in agreement, "Yes, don't do anything stupid, Will."
"Oh, shut up, you." Catalina threw him a disgusted look. He pouted for a moment, but as her hard glare did not waver, the pirate gave up a half smile and winked. Almost letting out an indignant laugh, Catalina caught herself and instead scowled.
Will threw a glare over his shoulder at her, but turned quickly to face the pirate once again. "I cannot just step aside and let you escape."
The pirate cocked the revolver. "This shot is not meant for you," he said with what was almost a look of pity.
Catalina instantly sprung forward. She snatched the nearest sword, not exactly sure what she was planning to do with it. In nearly the same moment, Mr. Brown slammed a bottle of whiskey over the pirate's head that collapsed with a thump on the ground and the soldier's broke the door open forcing their way inside. Catalina stood, weapon still in hand, staring as Commodore Norrington sauntered toward the unconscious pirate. "Excellent work, Mr. Brown. You've assisted in the capture of a dangerous fugitive."
Mr. Brown smiled a drunken grin, "Just doing my civic duty, sir."
Will looked at his sister and rolled his eyes with smile. Catalina laughed lightly, knowing how much Will deserved to be acknowledged, but she didn't dare speak up.
Norrington smiled, looking very thoughtful. "Well," he mused, "I trust you'll always remember this as the day that Captain Jack Sparrow almost escaped. Take him away." He glanced around the room and, with a nod, left.
Catalina stared at the pirate she now knew as Jack Sparrow, and almost felt sorry for him. She shook her head. Why fell sorry for this...this man. He was just a pirate, wasn't he?
Author's note: I know my chapters aren't very long, but this is the only way I am keeping up with this. I only have little gaps of time to work on it, so there will be a lot of little chapters!
Reviewer- [Notice there is only one. ; )]
