Chapter 3- The Swashbucklers that Lived
BOOM!
A cannon had been fired from the shore. It landed with a BANG right in the middle of the town. It was so sudden that no one had any time to think or react; but when they realized what had happened, they ran around, screaming frantically.
"HELP!" they shouted. "SAVE US!" Many of them ended up tripping or falling because they bumped into people as they ran. No one knew where he or she was going; they were running as far away from the shore as possible.
BOOM!
Another one was fired. This time it landed in a craft shop, where the shop owner stood there frozen, and then fainted at the reality of being alive.
At this time, Will and Elizabeth were just getting into town, and having heard the BOOMs, were determined to find Jack.
"JACK!" they shouted. "JACK, WHERE ARE YOU?!" No answer. Jack was nowhere to be seen.
"Come on, Will," said Elizabeth. "We have to get away from this mess."
"Damn scoundrel," said Will. "'Barbossa's crew went down with him, Will, you have nothing to worry about!"' he said in an angry, mocking tone. "'I am positive that they are all dead."'
BOOM!
The third cannon ball had been fired, this time just missing the spot where Will and Elizabeth were hiding; behind an old, rusty shed. It was just taller than Will, but it was enough to hide for at least thirty minutes before fear of discovery. It was in the back of an abandoned warehouse, so it was presumable that no pirates would find them there.
Will peeked out of his hiding spot and looked over at the shore, and saw a black ship shifting along with the wind. No one was aboard. It was empty. Just then, as the clouds in the sky drifted away from the moon, which was full, a large howl of laughter was heard down by the cove. Will took a closer look at the shore. The reason there were no pirates on the ship was because they were all coming into the town! They were skeletons! They were a dusty shade of pale gray, and they wore ripped pirate clothing. A very large pirate with markings all over its skull was in the lead. He didn't look happy.
"Elizabeth," said Will. "Those are Barbossa's pirates. Some of them, at least. I recognized one or two. We have to rescue ourselves. Jack knows his way. He will find us."
"Hello, chaps," said a cheery voice. "I believe I already have found you." As they could presume, it was Jack. "Why so glum? You're the one that said that we should be cautious."
Will made a movement with his hands as though he was going to wring Jack's neck, but thought better of it. After all, Jack was the one who had all the weapons.
"Do you have all the swords and guns?" asked Elizabeth, as if reading Will's mind.
"Why yes, beautiful," said Jack. "I do." He pulled up his shirt to reveal a large amount of pistols and swords tied intricately to his belt. Will grabbed two pistols and a sword, Elizabeth grabbed the same, and Jack grabbed one pistol.
"Jack," said Will. "Do all of these pistols have only one
bullet?"
"Affirmative," answered Jack, as he skimmed the shore for any more signs of pirates. "There aren't any pirates coming anymore," he said. "They have all disappeared."
At that exact moment, a dark figure jumped out of nowhere and landed right next to Jack. "HIYA!" he shouted, his sword sticking out at Jack's face.
Jack looked at the pirate with a look of amazement. "Skinny?" he said. "I always thought you were better-looking. Oh well, that's what curses do to you, savvy?"
The pirate thrust his sword out at Jack, but he blocked it with a slight flick of his wrist. His sword came upward, sending the pirate's sword down a hill. Then he swung it directly at the pirate, and cut him in half. The pirate squirmed around for a moment, and then was still.
"He'll be back to his skeleton self in no time," said Jack. "Come on."
They snuck out of the hiding spot, staying low to the ground. Jack had now turned into a skeleton, as he was out in the moonlight. They could see people frantically running around, pirates running after them. They went over to the abandoned warehouse, and waited.
"What next?" said Elizabeth.
"We wait until someone finds us," said Jack. "It shouldn't be long now."
"Yes, but-" started Will, but he was cut off. Jack's hand swung around and grasped his throat, as well as Elizabeth's. "Jack...what are you d-doing?" he said through gasps for air.
"Shhh," said Jack, eyeing Elizabeth's disturbed face. "Play along."
His grip loosed on Will's throat, and Will understood what he was doing. A pirate came around the corner of the building and looked at the trio standing there. Will was moving around and pretending to gasp for air, while Elizabeth followed suit. "You got this covered?" shouted the pirate to Jack.
"Yes," shouted Jack back. "They'll be dead within the next few seconds." The other pirate walked away, a pistol in his hand.
Jack let go of Will's and Elizabeth's necks. "Sorry about that, chaps," he said. "I had to do something to make it look like I was killing you."
"It's all right," muttered Elizabeth, as she rubbed her neck. "But you owe me a massage later. Let's go!"
They swerved around the corner, where more pirates were attacking the townspeople. They ran through the crowd, swords and pistols in hand. Jack was heading toward the Black Pearl 2, Will knew it. He was either going to sink it, or try to get away in it. These were the two main things that Jack Sparrow did when in a close bind. As he had predicted, after running over a muddy hill, the Black Pearl 2 came closer and closer into view.
"So, what's the plan?" said Will, as he took some deep breaths.
"We sail away on the Black Pearl 2, steal the treasure that's on board already, and then once we reach the Caribbean, we will sink it, savvy?"
"How did I know that that was going to be the plan?" said Elizabeth sarcastically. Right after she said this, she tripped over a rock and started tumbling down the hill. "Elizabeth!" shouted Will after her. He ran after her, and when he reached her, he lifted her up and continued running. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"I am now," she said, giving him a kiss.
"Let's save the romance for the journey home," said Jack, who had obviously caught up. "We have to remove the anchor from the sand below, I'll do that, and we need to raise the sails and get away from here as soon as possible."
They finally reached the dock. Jack dove right into the water to remove the anchor, and Will and Elizabeth climbed up the ladder to the ship. "All right, Elizabeth, you get ready to steer this thing out of here. I'll raise the sails."
"Not today!!!" shouted a dark voice. Will was hit over the head with a barrel. He was knocked out cold. A large pirate was standing on the ship; the one that Will had seen with the marks all over the skull. But, seeing as the moon was not out at this moment, the marks, which were actually circular earrings, were stuck in his face. "Well, well, well," he said. "What do we have here? Elizabeth Swann, isn't it? Or shall I say...Elizabeth Turner. Yes, I remember when I almost got the chance to kill you. It was a great feeling, but I never got to because of HIM!" He pointed a long and large finger at Will. He walked over to him. He was still knocked out.
Suddenly, Will's foot swung up and hit the pirate in an area of high sensitivity, causing him to keel over in pain, yelping. Will's foot swung out again and kicked him in the face, sending him backward. He was going to kick him again, but his foot was caught in the pirate's hands, and he was thrown backward. The man got up, sword in hand, but Will was too quick for him. His sword was already out, ready for action. He cut the pirate's arm off, and the sword fell to the floor. The pirate's other hand, however, reached out for Will's throat. He picked Will up off the ground.
"Not..again," said Will, gasping for air. He knew that this pirate would show no mercy. He stood there, both hands on the pirate's arm, trying to loose his grip. His face was starting to turn purple.
"Unhand him!" shouted a triumphant voice. Jack stood there, with two swords in his hands. They were pointed at the pirate's face.
"Or what?" shouted the pirate, still holding tightly to Will's throat. "You'll cut me in two?"
"I have a deal to make with you," said Jack. "You unhand my friend here, and I'll give you the medallion, the one thing that you really want. Deal?"
The pirate stood there, thinking. "Come on..Jack," said Will, still purple. "Just cut.me free." "Oh, right." Jack cut off the pirate's other arm, and Will fell onto the deck next to the sword he had dropped. He put his hand around his neck, and took a great gasp for air. "Thanks," he said to Jack. He picked up the sword next to him, and pointed it at the pirate.
"I suggest you get off this boat, of there's going to be
hell to pay."
"I'll pay it, then," said the pirate.
"Good choice!" shouted Elizabeth from up above. She was standing on the mast, holding a rope in here hands. She jumped down, and swung her foot out. Both Jack and Will moved out of the way as Elizabeth knocked the pirate right off the ship and into the dark, murky water.
"Let's get going," said Jack. "We wouldn't want them to follow us." He pointed toward the hill. All of the pirates were running down toward the boat.
"Time to go," Will agreed. He quickly climbed up toward Elizabeth to help open the sails. It didn't take them long, and when they were done, the ship made a sudden jerk with the wind, and started to sail away.
"Are you okay?" said Elizabeth to Will, as she put her hand around his throat gently.
"I am now," he said, as he lowered his head and gave her a kiss.
The Black Pearl 2 sailed away into the night, with a cool breeze helping guide them. The moon shone brightly in the sky, revealing the pirates on the shore, screaming, yelling, and cursing because of the departing ship. Some even tried to swim out to the ship, but with Jack Sparrow at the steering wheel, they didn't stand a chance of reaching it. Will and Elizabeth stood at the back of the ship, hidden from view, doing what Jack referred to as "the nasty." All three of them knew that they were safe. For the next month or so, at least.
Thank you for reading this story! I'm not sure if this is the end. I might continue writing in. Tell me what you think I should do in your review. POTC ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! (
