I decided to go ahead and post the next chapter. I hope you like it. Thank you to all those who reviewed it implies a lot to me.
Anna: I will finish this fic. I never start posting a fic until I have three-fourths of the way done.
PLEASE READ AND REVIEW. The more I get the faster it makes me want to update.
Word had spread quickly that Captain Jack Sparrow took the Governor's son hostage. Buffy had been worried when she heard that William had nearly drowned at the Commodore Norrington's promotion ceremony. She hadn't gotten many details only that it had something to do with a prank. She opened the door to the work area to see the donkey moving excitedly. Immediately her senses went on alert. Carefully she moved to calm the donkey saying soothing words. Once the donkey was taken care of Buffy went to check on Giles, who was still passed out in his chair. Her hand gently caressed his forehead.
"Right where I left you."
She turns ready to begin working again and noticed that her hammer was now sitting on the anvil instead of the table.
"Not where I left you."
On the table where her hammer should have been sat a pirate hat.
"Come on out no since in hiding."
When no one came out Buffy moved to take the hat knowing that would get him. As soon as she did, a sword tapped her hand. Jack Sparrow had his sword pointed at her menacingly, but Buffy just seemed bored.
"I have no quarrel with you luv."
"No, but you will. You're the one they're hunting. The pirate."
"You seem familiar. Have I threatened you before?"
"No, and if you had you wouldn't be around to talk about it now. I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates."
"It would be a shame to put a mark on your record. So if you'll excuse me." Buffy grabs a sword and aims it toward Jack.
"If you leave now we won't get a chance to dance." Buffy said with a pout.
"Do you think this wise, girl? Crossing blades with a pirate?"
"What are you afraid you'll lose against little ole me?" Buffy's eyes twinkling before becoming serious. "You threatened Mr. Turner."
"Only a little." Jack said as the two clashed swords. Buffy let Jack lead the attack. "You know what you're doing. I'll give you that. Excellent form. But how's your footwork? If I step here." Buffy followed his moves. "Very good. And now I step again."
He thought he was being clever with his moves, but he wasn't fooling her. He was close to the door and turned to leave.
"Ta."
Buffy threw her sword with such accuracy that Jack could feel it on his cheek as it passes. Jack looked at how close the sword came. He looks at Buffy who is leaning against the table with her arms crossed.
"That is a wonderful trick. Except, once again, you are between me and my way out."
"Well maybe the Sparrow needs to learn how to fly." Buffy reaches over and grabs Jack's hat.
"Give me my hat!"
"You want it? Come and get, if you think you can." She places it on her head. Jack pulls out his sword. "Take your best shot."
Jack swiped at her with his sword and Buffy dodged it. He tried again but Buffy kept out of his reach taunting him with his hat.
"Come on, I thought you were the famous Jack Sparrow, and you can't beat a woman wearing a dress."
The door to the shop began to rattle. Buffy took off Sparrow's hat and tossed it to him before letting out scream.
"HELP! He's in here!"
Jack whips out his pistol and aims it at Buffy. Her scream had caused the soldiers at the door to double their efforts.
"Please move. This shot is not meant for you."
He cocks the gun. Before he could fire, he's hit from behind with a glass bottle from Giles. Buffy moved quickly to Giles side slipping an arm around him.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Fine, but we have to play this right." As the door burst open, Buffy sped up her breathing as if she was hyperventilating.
"There he is. Over here." A soldier said.
"Are you all right Miss Summers? This scoundrel didn't hurt you did he?"
Buffy took a minute before answering as if she was trying to calm herself. Then, she shook her head no.
"I was so scared. I thought he was going to kill me. I was headed for home when I heard a noise. I went to check Mr. Giles when…If you had come along when you did…"
"Excellent work, Mr. Giles. You've assisted in the capture of a dangerous fugitive."
Norrington praised him.
"I was just doing my civic duty sir, protecting my family from this rogue."
Norrington looked down at the unconscious Sparrow.
"Well, I trust you will remember this as the day that Captain Jack Sparrow almost escaped. Take him away."
"Thank you, Commodore." Buffy said gratefully.
"I take my leave of you milady." Norrington kissed her hand before following his men.
When they were finally gone, Buffy let a sigh. Giles was now leaning heavily on her.
"Let's get you home Watcher of mine."
Once Buffy had gotten Giles home, she quickly made them sandwiches to eat. Giles had managed to get down one before passing out. Buffy wished there was something she could do to take away his hurt. Buffy got him up the best she could and took him to his room where she made him as comfortable as she could. She sighed realizing that it was going to be another long night. She still had some work she needed to finish and then she needed to patrol. Being the slayer in Port Royal had been tough at first, but once the demon population realized she wasn't playing games they made a deal with her to live peacefully with her in Port Royal. Changing into her work clothes, she headed back to the shop. On her approach, she was thankful that her friend Alexander Harris had already been by to fix the door. Stroking the fire to get it going again, she began pounding out another sword. Hearing something, she opens the window and looks out. All she sees is a stray dog. Closing the window, her senses alerted her to his presence.
"You're working late tonight." A voice said from the shadows.
"Angel. What are you doing here?" Buffy asked.
Angel is a vampire with a soul that Buffy had met upon her arrival in Port Royal. He has been a real asset to her.
"I saw the lanterns were burning bright. I thought I would check to see if you were patrolling tonight."
"Could you handle it tonight? I really must finish these tonight. Mr. Travers will by to pick them up in the morning."
Buffy really did have this town wired. Most of the men in town really liked her and would do anything for her, but she only had eyes though for Will.
"Sure. I will stop by afterwards to see if you're still here." Buffy nodded as he disappeared back into the shadows.
She began to work again when she heard the noise again. It was cannon fire. Quickly she grabbed several weapons she could use. With her sword in hand, Buffy ran out into the mayhem to see a cross-eyed pirate chasing a woman she knew as Madame Chase. Grabbing the axe that was hanging from her belt and she threw it hitting the pirate in the back. The pirate fell to the ground dead and Buffy retrieved her axe. She continued along replacing her axe for a sword. Grapple attacks her and she easily blocks it and kicks the pirate in the stomach hard. He went flying back. Buffy then turned and began fighting one three times her size. Grapple uses his hook weapon catching Buffy around the neck drawing her closer. The hook is digging into her neck. Grapple raises his axe to chop off Buffy's head.
"Say goodbye."
At that exact moment, a cannonball flew into the building above them, knocking the sign free. They both look up, but only Buffy is quick enough to get out of the way. The sign hits Grapple who sails through the glass window.
"Goodbye." Buffy said as she moved to go back into the fight.
Buffy had been fight for a while when she sees a shirtless William being lead away by pirates. For one second her mind was thinking about nothing but his bare chest. Will spots her and calls to her.
"Buffy!"
"Come on," said Pintel.
"William."
Buffy was about to charge after them when the pirate she was sure she had killed with the hatchet was standing in front of her. Her face clearly showed her confusion. A bomb at some point had been dropped at her feet. She looks down at it and was about to bolt when the fuse extinguished. Before she could do anything, she felt a sharp blow to the back of her head. Her eyes rolled up into head and she hit the ground.
In my story Angel already has his soul since I know he didn't get it till later.
PLEASE REVIEW!
