Chapter 3
The Battle in the Blacksmiths
I just arrived when I see Jack slip into the Blacksmiths I knew it I thought to myself.
So I continued walking towards the building in a somewhat giddy mood. I walked in trying and succeeded to be silent and to see Jack walking up to Mr. Brown. Laughing quietly I watched Jack poke Mr. Brown and cringe away waiting for a reaction.
Frowning he goes to turn around but suddenly swings back around yelling "WHOA!" After seeing no reaction he turns around to see me at the door.
"It's amazing how I somehow knew you'd be here." I tell him.
"Well I have to get theses off" he replies referring to the chains while picking up a hammer.
"Oh, ok. You're lucky I know my way around the Blacksmiths." I reply taking the hammer from him and setting it down on the anvil.
I walk towards the donkey and coax it to move with a sugar cube. As the donkey begins to move the gears above me begin to move.
"Put the chain up there and it should snap free"
"So how have you been in the past 8 years, Anastasia?" he asks me as he hangs from the gear.
"Good. I have mastered sword fighting, and my best friends are Elizabeth Swann and Jayson Xander."
"You're best friends with the Governor's daughter? Amazing!" he exclaims as I mention that I was friends with Elizabeth.
"Yes, yes I am." I reply with a smirk.
Just as he snapped the chain we hear the door creak open to revel Will. Turning to tell Jack to hide, but he was already gone.
"Oh, hello Anastasia." He greets as he walks over to the donkey to check on it.
"Hi Will, have you seen Jayson?" I reply.
"Last I saw him; he was looking for you to tell you to be careful. Because there's a pirate on the loose." He answers.
"When am I not?" I respond with a laugh.
"I don't know…" Will begins laughing with me but trails off as he spots the hammer on the anvil, and curiously walks over.
"That's not where I left you." Looking at the hammer with curiosity.
Oops.
Looking over at the table next to the anvil Will spies Jack's hat, reaching to grab it the flat of Jack's slaps his hand.
"You're the one they're hunting, the pirate." Will spats as Jack slides out of the shadows.
"You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before?" Jack asks Will puzzled.
"I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates." Will replies as I watch the exchange between them.
"Ah well then it would be a shame to put a black mark on your record. So if you excuse me," Jack says as he turns toward the door. Will pulls out his own sword challenging Jack, they cross swords.
"Do you think this is wise, boy? Crossing blades with a pirate?" He asks Will.
"You threatened Miss Swann." Will retorts back.
"Only a little"
They start fighting as I look on in fear for both Jack and Will.
"You know what you're doing, I'll give you that. Excellent form, but how's your footwork?" Jack says as he steps forward with Will stepping back.
"Very good, now I step again. Ta." Jack says stepping again.
He then sheaths his sword and makes his way towards the door once more, but as he reaches the door Will then throws his sword embedding it into the door barring the way out. Jack looks at the sword like 'Whoa that was too close' he starts tugging and pulling on it to get it free, but to no avail.
"That's a wonderful trick, except once again you are between me and my way out. And now you have no weapon." He says to Will after failing to pull the sword out of the door. At that Will pulls out a sword with a heated tip, and they begin fighting once again. Instead of just watching them duel to the death I grab a sword that I made myself, and ran towards them to try to stop them.
"Anastasia you should stay out of this." They told me in union. They look at each other in surprise, just the look on their faces made it clear that they were wondering why the other person knew me. That made Will mad, and started the sword fight once again with sparks flying.
"Who makes all of these?" Jack asks referring to the swords on the wall.
"Me and Jayson do, and we practice with three hours a day!" Will replies
"Hey, don't forget that I practice with you!" I yell at Will.
"Really?" Jack asks me, I nodded.
"You and that Jayson kid need to find yourselves a girl, mate!" he says turning his attention back to Will. They do a move that brings them face to face, "Or perhaps the reason you two practice three hours a day is that you already found one, and is incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not eunuch, are you?" he asks in a worried tone. I just laughed at that, and earned myself a pointed look from Will which made me stop.
"We practice three hours a day so that when we meet a pirate, we can kill it!" he shouts doubling his efforts with two swords.
"What about you? Do you want to kill a pirate?" Jack asks me while deflecting Will's attacks.
"Not really, I think it's not right to kill a man that didn't do anything to you" I replied as Will rolled his eyes at me because he knew that I wouldn't want to kill a pirate. But every time we practice he tries to change my mind by telling about how "vile" they are, but that never works.
"You would say that." Will says tried with his efforts to change my mind. They continued the swordfight jumping onto a cart that swats underneath them. Will then hooks one of the swords in the irons hanging from Jack's wrist and throws it up so that it embedded itself in the beam above them disarming him in the process, in return Jack hits a loose board which throws Will off the cart.
Jack the uses his body weight to get the sword out of the beam and falls back down on the cart just as Will climbed back on the cart, resulting in throwing Will into the rafters above them. As Will landed in the rafters he cuts free a heavy sack that sends Jack flying onto the rafters with him. They start fighting jumping beam to beam.
"You boys better get back down here before you get hurt, and settle your differences like civilized men!" I shout at them worried that they might fall, they just continued to fight as I sat down on a barrel in a huff arms crossed. Jack loses his sword and he grabs rope and slides back down to the ground, as Will follows Jack blinds him with sand and pulls out his pistol when Will moves to protect his eyes.
"You cheated!"
"Pirate" Jack replies smugly.
I froze, my eyes wide thinking certainly he wouldn't shoot Will, he only has one shot. As I thought of the day that Jack's traitorous first mate marooned him on the island with only one shot. I was shaken out of my thoughts as I heard soldiers trying to break the door down. Apparently Jack heard them too, because he tries to get Will to move out of the way, but Will being stubborn as he is wouldn't move out of the way to let Jack go.
Then suddenly out of nowhere a bottle crashes down on Jack's head knocking him unconscious, just as the soldiers broke through the door and started to pile in. Norrington comes in with Jayson behind him, when Jayson sees me he runs over to me.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm alright, but I don't think he is." I reply referring to Jack's unconscious from.
"Well of course Mr. Brown hit him on the head. He's going to be out cold for a few hours." He replies as I look back over to Norrington who was saying:
"Well, I trust you will always remember this as the day that Captain Jack Sparrow almost escaped. Take him away."
As the soldiers move to take Jack away Jayson suggested that he should take me back to the mansion. I agreed, but I was worried that if I didn't free Jack soon he'd be hung for piracy.
~~~~~3~~~~~
Later that night I suck out of the mansion to go to visit Will and Jayson at the Blacksmiths. I arrived to see them working on a couple of swords.
"Hey" I greet them as I enter.
"Oh, hey Ana" Jayson says as he turns to greet me.
"Hi Anastasia" Will greets as he too turns to greet me.
"I'm just seeing how you guys are, because of what happened earlier."
"Oh, we're fine." Will replies for the both of them.
"Are we going to practice tomorrow?" I ask feeling that we might need more practice for an adventure I feel that coming on.
"Maybe, I don' know for sure with all the work that me and Jayson needs to do."
Suddenly something didn't seem right and we all looked out the window at the deserted street. Then cannon fire was heard, and Jayson and Will starts grabbing assorts of weapons alike. I go to grab my sword also, but Jayson stopped me.
"I think that it's better if you stay here, because you already had enough excitement for the day."
"Fine" I reluctantly replied.
I waited as they headed out to the street, then I ran to the window to see the crew of the Black Pearl swarming the town streets.
"Oh please, like I'm going to miss a chance to get revenge on the crew of the Black Pearl."
I say out loud to myself as went to grab my sword and headed out the door.
