Chapter Nine

Lessons

It was yet another beautiful day on the Black Pearl and an even better day for sword lessons. Jack approached Willy with two swords in each hand. "Get up," ordered Jack. "Time for practice." Willy jumped off a barrel, groaning. "Stop yer whining, lad." Willy rolled his eyes, taking the sword from Jack. Four-year-old Elizabeth stood by nine-year-old Bella, watching carefully.

"Why doesn't Bella have to practice?" whined Willy. Bella approached Jack and Willy as she held Elizabeth's hand. "Because I'm just like Mama. I have a knack with swords," teased Bella. Willy looked at his twin sister and glared at her. Bella smirked and took a seat on the deck with Elizabeth in her lap. "Until yer an excellent swordsman, you and I are goin' to practice everyday for three hours," Jack said. Willy's eyes looked as if they were going to pop out of his head when Jack said they'd practice for three whole hours.

"Three hours?!" Willy asked, shocked.

"Aye. Three hours. Like Will Turner."

Saying the name Will Turner obviously angered Willy. He lunged at Jack with his sword. Every move Willy made, Jack dodged. Before they knew it almost the whole crew of the Black Pearl was surrounding them, watching their sword fight. "Me bets on the lad," Barbossa whispered to AnaMaria. AnaMAria chuckled then looked up at the old pirate. "Ye must have more faith in Jack, Barbossa," she said. She looked back towards the sparring duo and continued, "Willy has a lot of bottled up anger inside of him. Like Will did with pirates. When he finds out the truth, he'll get over it."

"Are ye sure about that?"

"I'm not really sure about anything, Barbossa. William Turner the third has grown attached to Jack and Bella wishes Will was her father."

"Looks like Bella will get her wish. One year, AnaMaria."

"Aye. One year."


Captain Will Turner looked out to the horizon, thinking about the day he married his sweet Elizabeth. It had been nine years since she died.

--FLASHBACK--

A fierce swordfight was going on between the Black Pearl, The East India Trading Company and the Flying Dutchman. Captain Barbossa had punched and stabbed one of Davy Jones' men. "Elizabeth!" called out Will as he killed another Flying Dutchman crew member. Elizabeth turned to look at him, still fighting the enemies off. Together, Will and Elizabeth stabbed another member of the Flying Dutchman. Elizabeth went back to fighting when Will said, "Elizabeth". Will grabbed Elizabeth's arm, causing the golden brown haired woman to look at him.

"Will you marry me?" Will asked, softly, in the voice that made Elizabeth weak at the knees. However, Elizabeth looked at him as if he was crazy. Piper, one of Davy Jones' crew members who had a body of tube coral, lunged at Will and Elizabeth. Both Will and Elizabeth blocked the oncoming blow and replied, "I don't think now is the best time." They freed their swords from Piper's and before they knew it they were fighting against more members of the Flying Dutchman crew.

"Now may be the only time!" Will called out before killing a few more members who belonged to Davy Jones. Before going over to Will, Elizabeth killed a naval officer as did Will. Will kept Elizabeth close and said, "I love you." They stared into one anothers eyes for a few moments. "Ahhh!" called out some naval officers. Will pushed Elizabeth away and the two went back to fighting. As more men fell, Elizabeth and Will met back with one another. Will looked straight into Elizabeth's eyes and said, "I've made my choice. What's yours?"

"Barbossa!" Elizabeth called out over the heavy and loud rain. She looked up to the fighting old pirate captain. "Marry us!" Barbossa slashed his sword across yet another crew member of the Dutchman. "I'm a little busy at the moment!" shouted Barbossa. All three went back to fighting before Will called out, "Barbossa, now!" Killing two at once, Barbossa shouted back, "Fine then!"

Will held on to Elizabeth, still fighting as Barbossa climbed higher. "Dearly Beloved, we be gathered here today..." Barbossa began. A fish person tried to attack the captain but only received a kick in the face and said to the fish person, "to nail yer gizzard to the mast, yer poxy cur!" Elizabeth dodged before a sword could cut her head off. In a blink of an eye, more of Elizabeth and Will's opponents were dead. Yet again, the two lovers met up with each other. "Elizabeth Swann," Will began. "Do you take me to be your husband?

Smiling and happy, Elizabeth replied, "I do." Will returned a smiled and exclaimed, "Great!" The two ducked more swords and in return killed them. "Will Turner, do you take me..." Elizabeth began. She paused and as the two held hands fought more fish people off. Elizabeth and Will looked at each other and Elizabeth continued, "...to be your wife?" As they fought, the wedding ceremony went on. "In sickness in health," Elizabeth continued. "With health being less likely?"

Will Turner grabbed hold of Elizabeth, pulling her close to his wet body. "I do," Will replied with a smile. Holding hands, Elizabeth and Will took on more of the crew of the Flying Dutchman and navy. Barbossa babbled something before announcing Will and Elizabeth as husband and wife. "You may kiss!" Barbossa called out. Will dipped Elizabeth back and leaned in to kiss her. "You may kiss!" he called out again over the loud clatter of swords. Elizabeth and Will quickly moved apart to fight as more naval officers approached them. They turned to each other and their swords met in the air. "Just kiss!" Barbossa shouted one last time.

Will and Elizabeth's swords dropped by their sides as Elizabeth pulled Will in for a kiss. Will wrapped his arm around Elizabeth as their lips met. The two didn't have a care in the world. They were now officially married.

--END FLASHBACK--

Will wished every night that she was still alive. He had even asked Calypso if there was a way to return to the human world with Elizabeth. Her answer had been no. It had been no several times actually. Will sighed, slouching over the side of the Flying Dutchman. How he missed his wife. "I never even got to say goodbye," Will murmured to himself as he had several times before. He looked out into the horizon, hoping to see Elizabeth. He thought about how different his life would be in a year to see his Elizabeth standing on the beach, waiting for him to return but his wife was gone and instead, he would be meeting Jack Sparrow in St. Maarten.


Jack pushed Willy away after blocking Willy's attack. Once again, the nine-year-old curly haired boy lunged at Jack, slicing Jack's arm open. Jack winced and dropped his sword. "Yer not suppose to actually cut me!" cried out Jack as AnaMaria began to nurse his arm. Willy glared at Jack and replied, harshly, "I'm not Will Turner. I never will be Will Turner and I don't intend on being a great swordsman like Will Turner." With his sword still in his hand, Willy turned on his heels and headed below the main deck.
