" Jimmy what is it?" you asked alarmed at his state.
" Run" he said. With that he collapsed in front of you. Your eyes widened as you reached out to break his fall.
" Leave me here ye got to get out of here now." he said. You took a deep breath and began to pull Jimmy to his feet. His right eye was swollen shut and blood was flowing from his mouth. He had cuts and bruises all over.
" No Jimmy I aint leavin ye" you said. There were four or five men walking towards you from the same direction that Jimmy had come. Obviously these were the same people who beat him and they were coming for you. You recognized two of them immediately as the men from Tortuga. You pulled Jimmy up and turned to run down to the docks to find that you were surrounded.
" Jimmy who are these people?" you asked with worry.
" No time to explain, we need te get out of here." he said. He grabbed your arm and slowly began pulling you into an alleyway. You followed with out question as your attackers closed in around you. " On the count of three we run." he mumbled. You nodded your head once more and waited for the "opportune" moment.
" One" he said. The rain was poring down hard and the thunder was deafening. You saw that the now almost fifteen men had unsheathed there swords as they moved even closer.
" Two". Now you could hardly hear Jimmy. There was a faint sound of someone chuckling and some incoherent mumbling. You were still stepping closer to the alleyway. You had just made it to the opening when Jimmy yelled, " THREE!". You turned and darted down the alley. The rain was difficult to see through. You and Jimmy darted through the alley and out to the other side. The dock was now insight. You smiled lightly as you saw Will's ship rocking in the calm waters of the harbor. Jimmy was slowing down and the attackers were gaining on you.
" Come on Jimmy! Were almost there!" you said as you grabbed his arm and pulled him back up to your side. You were almost there when a shot rang out. At first you thought it was thunder until you felt Jimmy fall next to you. His body tripped you up and you slammed down on the cobblestone road. After sliding a bit you finally came to a soar body throbbing stop. Your arms were scraped and your head was throbbing seeing as you just slammed into it. You heard a faint noise behind you and then you remembered Jimmy. You turned quickly to see him laying on the road with a pool of dark liquid slowly growing under him.
" Jimmy?" you asked quietly as you crawled over to him. Jimmy was coughing slightly as he tried to force the pain to the back of his mind. You kneeled down next to him and grabbed his hand. The men were still coming but you hardly noticed.
" Go. Get out of here while ye have a chance." he said quietly. You went to reach over and help him up when he grabbed your hand and shoved it away from him. " Leave, I am through. You still have a chance to get away." he said forcefully. You bit back the tears as you watched one of your best friends slowly meet his end.
" Jimmy, I cant leave you." you said with a small smile. " It aint right." Jimmy smiled himself and took your hand.
" You are so much like your brother." he said. You smiled as the tears welled up in your eyes. The men were almost to you now. " Now get out of here." he said then his body went limp and his eyes closed. You bit back your tears as the men came even closer. You let go of Jimmy's hand and quickly darted back down the street. Your lungs were burning. The rain was still poring down relentlessly but as before the winds were calm. You could just barley make out the figure of a person ahead of you. You kept running as fast as you could and suddenly slammed into the person.
" 'your name', what's goin on?" asked the person. You whirled around to see Michael. He and the others were out looking for you when they heard the gunshot.
" Michael we have to go… now!" you said breathlessly. You grabbed his arm and turned to head for the docks but you were surrounded. This time there was no way to get out. You unsheathed your sword, ready to fight off anyone who came your way.
" Now lass, don't make this any harder then it has to be." a man said. You narrowed your eyes and raised your sword. The man raised his sword to accept your challenge. His slammed his sword against yours and a huge fight broke out. Michael was having difficulty keeping up with the other men but he did his best. You had taken down three men when you saw people getting off the ships to see what was going on . You were feeling hope now because your friends would be soon coming to your aid. The thought went out the window however when someone slammed a huge rock into your head. Everything went dark and you fell to the ground with a thud. The last thing you saw was the crews running to join the fight.
About an hour later you woke to the sound of someone yelling. You shot up and looked around. You were in some sort of house. It looked all to familiar to you as you looked around. When you looked out the nearby window you saw that it was still poring. You heard another yelp and you stood up. Your head was pounding now. You took three steps when realization finally dawned on you. You were in your old house. You walked out of the room that you were in and walked into the old family room. Michael was being beaten by three men. Someone saw you enter
Ok ok I know it was short but this chapter had to be. Please don't hate me for it. The next chapter will be nice and long and dandy so that will make up for it!
