Chapter 5 – Pirate Attack!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Two days later, Port Royale~
The square had been richly decorated for the wedding of deputy commodore Hurst. However, one could not feel a hint of happiness over the town. For the town people knew that Hurst had used some dirty tricks to steal the wife of their blacksmith friend. But how, they did not know, nor they knew where Will was. They were angry with the deputy commodore but no one dared to defy his orders.
Inside the commodore mansion, the maids were busied putting a wedding dress on Elizabeth, who just stood and stared at the emptiness in front of her.
Hurst entered the room and saw the fully dressed Elizabeth, "Oh, my beautiful lady, you look splendid! You will be the most beautiful bride in the whole Caribbean!"
"Where is Will?" Elizabeth looked at Hurst, fire of anger filled her eyes, "I want see him." She said coldly.
"My lady." Hurst approached with a cunning smile, "I told you that he is alright... as long as you do not do anything stupid. By the way, as you are going to be Mrs Hurst very soon, you should not be thinking about any man other than your husband, me, of course."
"I will see him now." Elizabeth said in a dangerous tone, "I am not going anywhere until I see him."
"I will make sure you will never see him if you do not follow my order." Hurst grabbed a handful of Elizabeth forcefully, who stared at his eyes angrily, "One more word about that blacksmith and I will hang him right in front of your eyes."
Elizabeth's body shook in ultra anger, but she said nothing.
"Very good, my lady." Hurst backed away and departed from the room, "Get yourself ready. The wedding will start in an hour."

~An hour later, square of Port Royale~
"Ladies and gentlemen," Commander Corner shouted, "Welcome to the wedding of Commodore Hurst and Elizabeth Turner."
Out of nowhere, over dozen small metal balls were thrown into the different corners of the square.
"What the hell..." several guards murmured as the small metal balls exploded, releasing clouds of white smoke. People and guards choked and started coughing violently as he inhaled the smoke. Chaos spread across the square.
"What is going on?" Hurst stood up, confused.
Suddenly, a group of pirates rushed into the square, all with wet towels over their nose and mouth. Quickly, they knocked out the guards, who were coughing violently and did not even notice the pirates approached.
As the smoke slowly faded, most of the guards were down, unconscious.
The two men leading the group approached the platform where Hurst, Corner and Elizabeth were standing. They took off the towels from their faces.
"Will! Jack!" Elizabeth shouted, happiness filled her voice. But her smile slowly faded as she noticed how very pale her husband's face was.
"Elizabeth!" Will rushed towards the platform, a sword in his hand.
Hurst panicked and took his pistol. He grabbed Elizabeth's hair forcefully and pulled her in front of him. "Stop right there, Will! Or I will kill your wife!" he said as he pointed the pistol to Elizabeth's temple.
Will stopped, his eyes filled with hatred, "Let her go!"
"Not before you ask your pirate friends to stop and leave the port!" Hurst threatened by pushing the pistol against Elizabeth's temple.
"Jack! Stop you men and leave the port!" Will shouted, keeping his eyes to Hurst and Elizabeth.
"What?" Jack protested.
"Please." Will said, desperation filled his voice, "Jack, please go."
Hurst laughed, "And you, blacksmith, you will stay. I will punish you for ruining my wedding. Follow my order or she will die."
"Will, please go with Jack!" Elizabeth pleaded.
"I can't." Will replied, sadness filled his eyes, "I won't leave you. I can't let you die."
Will turned to the pirate captain, "Jack, I am sorry that I cannot fulfil my promise to you. Please leave with the others. Thank you for everything." a bitter smile spread on his pale face.
Jack hesitated. He looked around and found that some of the guards were regaining consciousness. He knew he could not take the risk. "Retrieve to the Black Pearl!" he shouted and looked at Will one last time before he left.
*It's not over yet, kid.* Jack mouthed the silent words to the blacksmith as he turned and ran with the others.
Hurst laughed victoriously, "Arrest this pirate!" he called to the guards.
Two guards approached and pushed Will to the ground, took his sword and tied his hands at his back.
Hurst ordered Corner to hold Elizabeth and stood beside Will. "This is for ruining my wedding." he said as he started kicking and punching Will, who laid on the ground and held by two guards.
Will bit hard on his lips to stop himself from crying out in pain as the numerous wounds on his body, especially the stab wound on his stomach, reopened under the harsh beating. Blood slowly covered his shirt.
"Stop it!" Elizabeth shouted, "You are killing him! I will do whatever you ask me to do! Just let him go!"
"Really, my lady?" Hurst stopped the beating and turned to face Elizabeth.
"Don't listen to him." Will murmured through the sharp pain, "He tried to kill me right back in the prison. He will not let me live anyway."
"Shut up, you filthy blacksmith!" Hurst kicked violently at Will's wound on the stomach. Will almost pass out under the excruciating pain.
Furious, Hurst turned to the crowd, "Listen you filthy people, the man disobeyed my orders and became a pirate. I hereby announce that he will be hung in two days' time."
Elizabeth shouted in despair, tears filled her eyes, "No!!"
Will curled on the ground in pain. He was not surprised as he knew it would happen the moment the pistol was pointed to Elizabeth's temple.
"Take the pirate to the prison." Hurst turned to Corner, "Send people to watch over the lady. Do not let her do anything stupid." before he walked out of the square.
