A.N.: Sorry I haven't updated in such a long time! I've been so busy with school, driving school, and other problems. But now I'm back with chapter 6! Hope you enjoy it!
Because the story follows "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" I will be changing the script around so I can fit in things that have to do with my story.
Disclaimer: Still nothing, I hate my life!
Chapter Six: Blacksmith Versus Pirate
Will and Juliet walked towards the blacksmith shop. The gray weather remained in the once cheerful sky.
Will noticed people running around wildly as if a terror had struck. Many officers were rushing through the streets and people were in a panic. Will saw an officer looking into a barrel and decided to ask him what was going on.
"Jules, stay right here for a minute," Will said dropping her hand. He walked over to the officer. Juliet watched him and followed him. She was not going to just stand there and wait when something bad was going on.
Will tapped the officer on the shoulder. "Excuse me officer, but could you tell me what is going on?"
The officer looked up at Will. "A pirate is in town sir." Juliet looked at Will; he had that look in his eyes when someone voiced about pirates.
"Uh huh, has he done any damage?" Will asked curious grasping onto Juliet's hand. The officer looked down.
"I'm afraid yes," The officer replied with sorrow. Will and Juliet looked at him expectantly. "The pirate, he's killed Elizabeth Swann."
Juliet's face dropped, she let go of Will's hand and put her hands up to cover her slightly hanging mouth. Will looked down at Juliet knowing her best friend just died.
"How…how did it happen?" Juliet asked.
"Don't rightly know. But the pirate that did it is Jack Sparrow," The officer said. "We're trying to find him."
Juliet scrunched her face up. She knew that name from somewhere. 'Jack Sparrow? Where have I heard that name before?" she thought. Suddenly she remembered. Two years ago at Will's house. The newspaper. It had an article about a pirate called Jack Sparrow.
Her eyes welled up with tears. Will could tell she was getting ready to cry. He placed his arm around her.
"Thank you for the information," Will said. The officer nodded and Will escorted Juliet off to the shop. Before he opened the door he turned to Juliet.
"How could someone do this to someone else?" she asked. Will shrugged his shoulders.
"He's a pirate, what do you expect? I just hope they catch him, because if I caught him I would stone him to death for killing one of our friends," Will explained. Juliet smiled. Will smiled back. "Come on, let's go inside real fast and then we can go pay our respects to the governor." Juliet nodded and Will opened the door to the blacksmith shop.
They walked inside and Will heard a noise. He saw the donkey moving around and jumped down in the shop to stop her. He stopped the donkey and turned to help Juliet into the shop.
Will looked around, he knew something was off. He started unbuttoning his jacket and walked towards the back of the shop. Juliet stood where she was and looked around the shop. It felt different.
Will saw Mr. Brown still asleep and smiled. He turned back to Juliet and threw his jacket on the table. Juliet looked around to see if anything was out of place. She noticed Will's hammer lying out on the anvil.
"Will, did you leave this out?" she asked taking up the hammer. Will looked over at her.
"No," he said with an odd expression. "I thought I put that away before I came." Juliet placed it where it needed to be and then noticed next to the anvil laid a hat.
"Will," Juliet called out. Will turned towards her again. She picked up the hat as Will started walking towards her. "I didn't know you liked wearing hats."
Will looked at the hat in her hands. "That's not mine. I wonder where it came from." Juliet shrugged and Will took the hat out of her hands. All of the sudden Juliet felt cold metal against her throat and she was pulled back.
"Juliet don't move!" Will yelled. Juliet looked out of the corner of her eye and saw a pirate, the pirate that killed Elizabeth, Jack Sparrow.
"If you want your bonny lass to live you best be giving me my hat back mate," Jack said. The metal pressed against Juliet's neck. Juliet knew if she tried to struggle, the metal would pierce her skin.
"Fine," Will said firmly but Juliet could hear a small hint of fear in his voice. Will threw Jack his hat. Jack caught it and placed it on his head while still holding Juliet.
"Now, will you please let her go?" Will asked. "You killed Miss Swann, who knows what you'll do now."
"For your information, boy. I did not kill Miss Swann," Jack said. Will glared at Jack and Jack looked at Will as if he recognized him from somewhere before.
"You seem somewhat familiar, have I threatened you before?" Jack asked. Will glared at him.
"I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates," Will said. "Are you going to let Juliet go?"
"So that be your name lass?" Jack asked Juliet. Juliet looked up at him.
"Yes," Juliet said. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Will pick up a sword. Jack looked up and saw a sword pointing at his face.
"Are we going to make it personal now?" Jack asked.
"Let Juliet go, or I'll cut your throat before you cut hers," Will replied. Jack threw Juliet down onto the dirt floor. He whipped his sword out to touch Will's.
"Do you think it's wise to sword fight with me?" Jack asked. Will looked straight into the eyes of his enemy.
"Damn straight," he explained. Juliet stood and ran out of the way. She grabbed a sword, but Will stopped her. "No," he firmly inquired. Juliet nodded and put her sword down, but she kept her hand on it just in case.
Jack started it off. They struck swords and parried. Jack stepped back causing Will to swing through open air. Jack came back in a lunge and they continued their fight. They moved back and forth until they ended up on the opposite way they were standing. Jack's plan had worked. He hit Will's sword and Will stepped back. Jack smiled triumphantly and placed his sword in his belt.
He walked towards the door. "Must be going," he said. Will looked at him and then at Juliet. He smirked and threw his sword in the door above the latch. It caught Jack off surprise and he stepped back as the sword nearly missed his nose. Jack turned to look at Will and then tried to get the sword out of the door.
Jack pulled and pulled but couldn't get it out of the door. He turned back towards Will. "Look's like we're going to have to swordfight again because you are blocking the only way out. And now, you have now weapon."
Juliet was ready to throw Will a sword but Will remembered the sword he was making earlier. He turned and pulled it out of the fire. Jack's smile faded and looked at the heated tip. Will smiled then as Jack and him started another swordfight.
Will's sword got caught in Jack's handcuff chain and was throw to the ground. Will ducked as Jack swung at his head. He jumped over to more swords and ripped one out of its holder. He clashed swords with Jack who was staring at all of the swords.
"Who makes all these?" he asked shocked.
"I do!" Will said as they still clashed swords. "And I practice with them three hours a day!"
Jack was taking mallets now and throwing them at Will. "Mate, you've got a girl, if you practice that long then I'm surprise she hasn't left you!" They got out from under the machines and Will and him locked swords. Jack looked him in the eye.
"Or perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is because she isn't a good lover. Or maybe it's you," Jack said. Juliet heard this and slowly walked over. Will gave Jack a dirty look.
"You're not a eunuch are you?" Jack asked looking down at Will. Will saw Juliet coming.
"I practice three hours a day so that when I meet a pirate, I can kill it!" Will said. He threw Jack off of their locked swords and Juliet decked him in the stomach. Jack lost his breath and stumbled up on the platform. Will followed and hopped up there as well. The platform lost its steadiness and they rocked back and forth. They clashed swords and Will managed to get his one sword up in Jack's cuffs and hook it into the rafter. Jack swung at Will who moved back. Jack noticed the loose board and hit it. It hit Will's chin who fell backwards and landed at Juliet's feet.
She helped him up while Jack tried to get his hand loose. Will stood and as soon as he got back on the platform, Jack fell and Will flew up into the rafters. Juliet looked up and watched as he miraculously landed on two feet.
Jack stood and looked around for Will, he saw Juliet looking up and he looked up. Will looked down at Jack and cut one of the sandbags. It hit the other side of the platform and Jack flew up there as well. Not as gracefully as Will did though. Juliet raced for the stairs leading up to the apartment so she could see what was going on.
Will and Jack continued their fight up there until Will knocked Jack's sword out of his hands. Jack smiled meekly and Will smiled triumphantly. Jack suddenly swung down from the rafters. Will followed his actions and got there before him. Will rushed to cover the door. Jack then cut a bag of sand and it blinded Will, Jack kicked Will's sword out of his hands.
Juliet rushed towards Will to help him get the sand out of his eyes. Jack pulled out his pistol and Juliet felt her heart drop. Will grabbed up a metal tool and turned towards Jack. Jack grabbed Juliet again and pointed the pistol at Will. Will stopped in midair at Jack.
"You cheated!" Will said.
"Pirate," Jack said. Will moved slowly towards them. "I'd stop where you are mate. Don't want me to kill you or your precious bonny lass."
"Just let her go, she has nothing to do with this," Will said. They then heard a banging on the door. Will moved in front of the other door.
"Move away," Jack demanded.
"No," Will said.
"Please move," Jack asked now desperately.
"No, I will not step aside and let you escape. Maybe I will if you let Juliet go!" Will said. Jack cocked his gun.
"This shot was not meant for you," Jack said pointing it at Will. Juliet started to elbow Jack in the stomach when she noticed Will was looking behind Jack at something. All of the sudden she heard glass breaking and Jack and her falling to the ground.
Will rushed over and helped Juliet up. "Are you okay?" he asked. Juliet kissed him.
"Better than that," she said. She turned to see her savior had been Mr. Brown. The royal navy rushed in with Norrington and they saw Jack on the ground, out cold.
"Mr. Brown, you've helped capture a dangerous fugitive. Good work," Norrington said.
"Just doing my civic duty sir," Mr. Brown said. Juliet looked at Will. Will didn't look phased, this always happen to him. Norrington and his men started taking Jack away. Norrington walked over to Juliet and Will.
"Are you all right Miss Roland?" he asked. She nodded.
"Yes, Will is too," she explained. Will nodded.
"Good," Norrington said. He started walking away when Juliet grabbed him.
"Commodore, I heard about Elizabeth. Is Governor Swann all right?" Juliet asked.
"As best as he can feel during these tough times Miss. I suggest you go pay your respects since you were so close to Elizabeth," Norrington replied. Juliet nodded. He then left with the navy and Jack.
Will placed a hand on Juliet's shoulder. She turned towards him. "Come on, let's go get cleaned up before going to see the governor," Will said. Juliet nodded and they walked up to Will's apartment.
