CHAPTER 2- Clash

Stifling her laugh as the Captain hung pathetically from a trap she had set up years before, she grabbed her sword from her belt, and leapt down towards Will. She heard his groan as the wind was knocked out of his stomach as she landed on him, her sword at his throat. Getting up quickly, she motioned for him to stand, then took his sword that hung at his side, and threw it on the ground out of reach. Staring at him, she was surprised to find a young, respectable-looking man before her.

'Surely he could not be a pirate?' She thought.

His dark eyes watched her warily, darting between her sword and his captain, who still hung inches behind her. Her attention was directed elsewhere when she heard low voices coming from the left of the trees. Taking her eyes off the man before her, she started towards the sound. Then, he moved. His actions so fast she barely had time to turn back when a sharp pain seared through her right hand, as he kicked the sword away. Fear raced through her body as she grabbed her throbbing hand, only to be struck in the face with such a force she was sent backwards, landing heavily on the dirt ground. Blackness surrounded her.

Will hurried over to Jack, whose face had begun to turn a strange purple colour, and cut the rope holding him up. Dusting himself off, and mumbling something about lack of respect, they both looked down at the cloaked figure resting face first on the ground. At the same moment, the rest of the crew appeared through the trees. "We've found a site Capt'n! Some of the men are starting to set up..." began an elderly pirate with white hair, before realizing Jack's attention was not on him. Leaning forward to see what was going on, they followed Jack and Will's gaze to the figure on the ground. "Stand him up", Jack ordered.

Two men walked over to the body and grabbing an arm each, where shocked to feel how light the man was to pick up. Jack walked cautiously over to the masked assailant, who swayed awkwardly on their feet. Then reaching up, slowly removed the head piece that concealed their identity. An intake of breath could be heard, as they all realized their mistake.

The assailant was not in fact a man, but a woman, a young lady to be precise. Her long, brown hair hid part of her face, and her bright blue eyes remained only half opened, as she tried to stop the world from spinning before her. The left side of her face had already begun to bruise, but despite the condition she was in, all of them could feel the hatred that burned in her eyes. Holding back the surprise in his voice, Jack ordered her to be taken back to camp. The crew did as they were told, with Will trailing slowly behind.
