chapter 6
Past many buildings. Past people and animals on the streets. Past the carriges rolling around.Jackie could tell Lizzie was looking for something in this town, but what? She stopped and he started panting from the running.
"Where...did...you... bring...me?" he asked, while panting.
"Look." she said. She pointed to a sign that had a picture of a anvil with the name 'Turner' above it.
"You mean...this..is your families old business?" he asked, still panting.
"Yep." she said, "Lets go in."
"Hold on, we don't even know if these Turners are your Turners." Jackie said
"My parents may not say much, but they keep reminding me over and over that our family started here in this town as a blacksmith. This is the only blacksmith, and if not, there aren't that many blacksmiths that all have the same last name." she said, "So, lets go in." She opened the large wooden doors and shut them, before any one might've noticed them, inside and outside. Inside, they hide in a coner and saw two people, a man and a woman, laughing while they were fencing each other.
"I see you've been practicing, Elizabeth." the man said
"I'm really getting better?" the woman said. The woman then fell on her butt and Lizzie and Jackie had a laugh. The laugh turned out to be louder than they thought and the two people heard.
"Who's there?" he asked
"Um, hello. I came here for a sword. Do you have one that might suit my stature?" Lizzie said
"Yes. And how will you pay or trade for it?" he asked
"I will give you information for the sword, if you tell me your name and you and me have fight." she said, grabbing a sword that was on a pole and pointing it at him.
"Her name is Elizabeth Swann and My name is William Turner, what's yours?" he said
"I'll tell you, if you win." she said. He grabbed a sword and pointed it at her. They waited until someone made the first move, and that was both of them at the same time.
"Great minds think alike." Lizzie said, straining to hold her own.
"You're not great." Will said. The fight went on for a long time and was very similar to Lizzie's fight with Barbossa, except at one point, she grabbed another sword and started slashing faster and stronger and more dangerous. Will fell down, and Lizzie held both her swords just an inch away from his face.
"Do you swear that you'll listen to what I say and not go crazy?" Lizzie asked. She turned one of her swords around and had the handle facing him. Will looked at her akwardly and took it.
"Yes." he said
"My name is Lizzie Turner, your descendant from the year 2005." she said
"But...Will does not have children and is not married." Elizabeth finally said
"Yet."Jackie said coming out of the hiding spot, "He hasn't married or had children yet, but he's destined to with someone he loves."
"Who are you?" Elizabeth asked
"Oh, my name is Jack Sparrow. Call me Jackie." he said
"Sparrow? Jack will have children!" Elizabeth said with a surprised look.
"Yes, now Will? May I have the sword I defeated you with?"Lizzie said
"Yes, and Jackie can have the other." Will said, giving them their swords. "Want to know how to use it?" Lizzie asked Jackie. He nodded and Lizzie lunged and Jackie parried, but it was hard for him. "Then lets get started." she said. She taught him all through till the night, when the stars and the moon shone bright over the town. Jackie was improving greatly and was almost able to beat Lizzie. Will was lighting candles and Elizabeth Was getting changed. When she came back, she wore a military sailors uniform.
"Ready?" Will asked. She nodded and he looked at a clock and started blowing out the candles. Lizzie was curious and finally said something.
"What's going on?" she asked
"Jack said he'd be here around this time." Elizabeth said
"We're going on an adventure with Jack Sparrow." Will said. Jackie immediatly perked up.
"We're going with you." Jackie said
"Are you sure you want to come on this journey? You might get killed." Will asked
"Will, we've got nothing else to do in this time. So, lets go on an adventure." Lizzie said. Jackie nodded his head in agreement.
"Fine. We're going now." Will said. He blew out the last candle and grabbed a sword. Elizabeth opened the door and the others exited through it.The stars were hanging in the sky.
"We have to go to the docks. That's where the Pearl is." Will said.
"The Black Pearl? The Black Pearl?" Jackie said, getting excited as they walked through the town.
"Yes." Will said
"Back in my time, my family admired the Pearl for being captained by the first Sparrow. It's legendary!" Jackie said. They were approaching the docks and began to see a large wood ship with black sails blowing in the wind. Lizzie was amazed at the size and Jackie stoodand looked up at the Pearlwith a big smile on his face. There was a long ramp that led up to the ship. at the end that was on the ship, stood a man with long hair, the ships captain.
"If this is the Pearl, then that guy must be..." Lizzie started
"...Captain Jack Sparrow." Jackie finished. They both walked up the ramp, walking close to Will and Elizabeth. Jack was able to notice them, though.
"Line up!" Jack said, "Due to unrevealable reasons, we are sailing to the new world to find treasure. Now, all to your posts...Except you two." he was poiting at Lizzie and Jackie, "Will, Ms. Swann, we wil have a meeting in my quarters with these two." Jackie and Lizzie showed a twinge of fear as they entered the massive room. When Jack sat on one end, the two sat at the other.
"So, who exactly are you, and what are you doing on my ship?" Jack asked. They both looked at each other, and Lizzie stood up.
"Sir, my name is Lizzie Turner, from the year 2006." she said, sitting back down.
"What? How in the world did you come to our time?" Jack calmly asked
"Barbossa. His crewmates brought him back to life and he used some kind of ring to bring us from our time to yours." she said
"The ring of tommorrow. It took me a year to try to use it and he uses it in one night." Jack said, "Now that I know you, who are you?" He faced Jackie. Jackie stood up with a small look of worry on his face.
"I'll tell you my name but you wont like it. I'm Jack Sparrow, your descendant. I prefer to be called Jackie." he said. He immediatly sat down. Jackremained calm as he stood up and started walking towards Jackie.
"Can you fight?" Jack asked
"Not well." Jackie responded
"Have any sailing expirience?"
"No."
"Ever steal?"
"No."
"Lie?"
"No."
"What are you good at?"
"Navigating and shooting. Oh, and Lizzie taught me some fencing moves." Jack showed some relief when he found use in Jackie.
"Lizzie, You will be lookout, while Jackie will navigate. There will come times I will talk to one or both of you to tell or teach you something. Lesson number one, waiting for the opportune moment. When you need to do or say something, you have to wait for the opportune moment. For example, if we three were to leave Will and Elizabeth alone, that would be an oppotune moment for them to express their feelings for each other. That was your lesson. To your posts." Jack said. The two left the room. Jackie went to the helm and gave Lizzie the spyglass. She then climbed the ropes to the crows nest.
The adventure begins.
