-Chapter Three-
Will Turner
Harry was about to take off the notice me not charm when Jack entered the shop in shackles. Deciding that being quiet and just continue observing Harry backed off into a dark corner. Jack grabbed a hammer that was by the forge and began to hit the chain that connected the wrist locks. Harry wanted to help him but he decided to wait a bit to see why he was in chains to begin with.
It wasn't long before Jack got fed up with the hammer and went with option number two. He took a poker from the fire and then sent the donkey in motion. With a small clank the chain broke as the door to the shop opened.
A young man walked in dressed in brown trousers and jacket. He walked over to the donkey to calm it down from Jack's earlier poke. Then walked over the drunken man that lay in the corner, muttering about how he was right where he had been left. The man pealed off his jacket and undid the first two buttons of his shirt as he walked toward the forge and the shadowy corner Jack had hid himself in. He saw the hammer and this time Harry heard him clearly when he spoke next.
"Not wear I left you." Then he made to pick up Jack's hat when he noticed it. Only to be met with Jack's sword on the back of his hand. "You're the one they're hunting. The Pirate."
'Well that would explain why Jack was in shackles.' Harry thought as Jack maneuvered the other away from his hat.
"You seem somewhat familiar, have I threatened you before?" Jack said and Harry found it difficult to hold in his amusement but managed.
"I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates." The young man replied and Harry knew that the man wasn't much older then he was maybe nineteen or twenty, after getting a better look at him. He also assumed that he was the smith around here and that he had been apprenticed to the drunkard in the corner.
"Well then," Jack started, "It would be a shame to put a black mark on your record so if you'll excuse me." Jack started to walk away but the man turned and grabbed the nearest sword and pointed the sharp end at Jack. Who turned around redrawing his sword.
"You think this wise boy? Crossing blades with a pirate?" Jack said as he got into a defensive stance.
"You threatened Miss Swan." The smith said with a look that promised pain. Jack ran his sword along the other as he replied.
They exchanged blows for a few minutes before Jack turned to leave once again. Only to have the smith's sword swish by his head and lodge in the door so that Jack couldn't leave.
"That is a wonderful trick. But once again you are between me and my way out and now you have no weapon." To which the man answers by grabbing the nearest sword which is the one in the fire. At the sight of the sword Jack's eyes widen and the donkey begins to walk.
As the fight commences Harry was just sorry he didn't know how to conjure food. This was the type of fight when one needs popcorn.
The two swordsmen exchanged words as they used every bit of the shop to fight. At one point it looked like Jack had won the fight only to fly into the rafters after the younger man. The fight ended with Jack holding the teen at gun point. With the authorities at his back and the smith at his front Jack was out maneuvered. With a crash the drunkard woke and brought his bottle to meet Jack's head.
After they took Jack away Harry made his presence known to the smith apprentice who had introduced himself as William Turner.
That had shocked Harry he hadn't thought he would meet his long lost relative for a few days yet. He got over it quick after he received a strange look from Will. And Will was happy that he was going to commission work. As they talked the old man left to get some more of whatever it was he drank.
The two talked about the weapons and then moved on to other things. Harry asked Will about his parents as the family books didn't old much information on it. He learned that Will's mother had been a seamstress and chambermaid, while his father had been a merchant sailor. Which Harry knew to be false as the books did mention that Will became a pirate as his father before him.
However it had grown late and Harry decided to get a room at the local inn to allow Will to work.
