Authors Note: Don't own it. Probably never will... end of story. >>>Oh my, my, my... it has been a while. I'm not gonna lie and say I was super busy, even though I haven't exactly had time to sit and write a chapter. I just had no where to go with this, or any other story for that matter. And also I started writing many original stories on under the same penname. But I never forgot my fanfic roots. So after stumbling back into this site and re-reading my story, I'm gonna give a third chapter a try. It won't be long, but it's a try. Please comment if you actually read this, even just saying "read it". I just want to know if anyone out there still cares that I write at all. Or if I'm just writing this for myself. sighs well all... here goes chapter three.
Chapter 3
Jack glared, growled, and pointed a dirty finger at Anne.
"You cheated, and ye stole my money! You wretched little cretan! I demand you give it back. Now!"
Anne glared right back at him and stepped foward out of the haystack.
"And if I don't...?" she said, looking him straight in the eye. Their faces with inches from each other now, and Anne could feel Jack's hot breath on her cheeks.
"Lassie, in case you haven't noticed, I'm a pirate. And people don't live to tell the tale once they steal from a pirate. Now if you'd be so kind..." Jack said, his voice dripping with contempt as his hand shot out and grabbed her wrist in which she clutched a money bag tightly.
But Anne was quicker. Whipping her arm back in a swift motion while turning her body, Jack lost his grip and fell right into her back. Quickly she brought her elbow up and was about to meet Jack's ribs when Jack wrapped his arms around her tightly, prohibiting her from being able to move.
"Ah, ah, ah, love. Now that's not nice..." Jack said, spinning her back around, her grip firmly on her wrist again. He smirked at her as her tiny hand lost it's grip on the bag.
"You had it coming." Anne hissed as she slapped him and stalked off to the other side of the smithy.
Jack spun on his heel and walked towards Will who was practically hiding in the corner.
"And you!" Jack hissed, grabbing Will's collar as soon as he was close enough.
"Let me go!" Will yelled, shoving Jack, but it had no effect.
"I thought you was me friend." Jack said, his voice lowering.
"Jack?" Will said, shocked. "What did I do?" his hand automatically going to his weapon.
"You let her in here. I would have caught her on my own if hadn't been for you." Jack said still clutching Will's collar.
"Oh! So this is my fault is it?" Will said, infuriated. "It's not my fault you not quick enough to know who's picking your pocket." Will spat.
"Are you calling my a bad pirate..." Jack growled pushing Will against the wall, getting into his face.
"You're the worse excuse for a pirate I've ever seen." Will said, looking Jack straight in the eye, hatred glaring.
"Wrong move, boy..."Jack said pulling out his pistol and aiming it at Will.
"Wrong move..." a voice echoed "on your part..."
Jack dropped Will and spun around quickly, almost having his belt sliced in two.
Anne's sword was drawn and pointed right into Jack's stomach.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Anne said quickly, pushing the tip further into Jack's skin. Will stood up and brushed himself off.
"Looks like you're out numbered, Jack." Will said, drawing his weapon and copying Anne.
Jack put his pistol away. "Fair enough." he muttered.
Slowing resheathing their weapons, Anne and Will walked away, leaving Jack standing there stunned for a moment.
"Love, what say you and me put all this behind us and have ourselves a drink?" Jack said aloud to Anne.
"Beg your pardon?" Anne said, bewildered.
"Well, seeing as how I got all the money now, I might as well buy myself a drink. And there's no sense in drinking alone. Who'll drag me outta the pub when I can't walk no more?" Jack said, smiling, bearing his gold teeth yet again.
Anne laughed.
"You're serious?" she asked.
"You're lovely." Jack retorted.
"You're mad. But why not, the gang's out roaming the streets for the day." She paused for a moment. "Only as long as you're buying, though." Anne said, walking towards him and taking his arm.
"I'll buy as long as you don't pick me pocket again, savvy?" Jack said, walking her to the door.
"Aye." She said, as she and Jack walked into the bright sunlight of Port Royale.
Will stood there for a moment, confused.
"I think I need a drink as well..." he said finally, rubbing his forehead as he closed the door.
