It started slowly at first, a few clinking of swords and was
more concentrated on footwork, but it soon became much more fast paced. The
clashing of swords brought the whole of the bar to, amazingly, silence.
The usually rowdy crowd had become completely still and watched with bated
breath.The dueling pair was very quick. Jack might've been fast, but
Tatiana was faster. Wherever he was, so was she. Then, things became a bit
more exciting. Tatiana and Jack had their swords crossed, faces only six
inches apart from each other.
"Just because you're my daughter, don't think I'm going to take it easy on
you," Jack whispered, a smile tugging at his lips.
" And don't think I'll take it easy on you because you're old," she
retorted, smiling the same smile.
"What?!"
At this, Jack went full-on. He pushed himself as far as he could go, doing
spins and all sorts of fancy moves, but he couldn't shake her and that was
starting to irritate him.
She narrowed her eyes and smirked, before jumping backwards onto a table
behind her.
More clashing filled the room as crowds of more people gathered to watch.
The pair hopped from barstool to table and all sorts of things like that.
Jack couldn't believe that this skinny girl could be that good! How? was
all he could think. How?
Finally, Jack and Tatiana jumped to the floor again, and Jack saw his
chance. But the problem was, she saw it, too. He jabbed his sword forward
just as she picked up one of the shorter barstools and held the seat right
infront of his blade. It all happened in a split second, and hid sword was
stuck deep into the wood. Tatiana cast the stool aside and held her sword
to Jack's throat.
"You've got me," he mumbled, casting his eyes down toward the floor and
fiddling with his fingers. Tatiana went over and pulled the sword from the
stool and handed it to Jack.
They smiled at each other, unsure what to do, but then they heard the
applause from the spectators and Will ran over to them.
"That was amazing!" Will said to Tatiana with a laugh. "Where did you learn
that?"
"When you live in Tortuga, you have to learn how to protect yourself," she
answered.
After the crowds were finished complimenting Tatiana and Jack on their amazing swordplay, Tatiana, Jack, and Will made their way over to a table. Will was still chuckling over the duel. He was amazed. "I still can't believe you-" he guestured to Tatiana "could do that!" "Well, believe it," Tatiana said as she took a swig from the drink one of her admirers had bought her. She was leaning back in her stool and had her feet on the table. "No denying it, Jack!" Will said, turning toward the captain, "She is definately your daughter." Jack smiled at Tatiana. She smiled back, but she seemed to be mocking him. "You are, aren't you?" Jack said as he leaned across the table toward Tatiana. "Yeah, probably. I think I am" she said as she set down her mug. She really didn't seem to care all that much. "Jack, I promised to help you find her, but now I have to get back home," Will said, although he didn't seem thrilled about that idea. He seemed more just obligated. "Then we'll bring her along!" Jack said, throwing his hands into the air. "Hang on!" Tatiana said with the same sort of hand movement, "Bring me where, exactly?" "Well, if you want to, that is..." Jack said as he leaned in closer. "Of course it's 'if i want to'," she answered. "I'm not going anywhere I don't want to go." "Well, we were planning on going back to Will's home in Port Royal for a while. If you want to, that is." "Ah, Port Royal," she said stroking her chin and smiling. "I've heard of it. I heard some idiots who took the gold of Cortez had to get it back from some girl there." Will and Jack exchanged glances. " It seemes like a nice place, and I'd do just about anything to get away from this stupid rock." "Great, then to Port Royal it is!" Jack said as the three got up from their table.
