"With a sword," he repeated. "Not very good and I didn't hurt Adeline," he grumbled and crossed his arms. He yelled at her, yes, but he didn't think he hurt her.

"Do not lie to me! You are a coward and a liar!" Yelled Captain Will for the whole crew, even Adeline to hear. "Mistreat her again and ye'll be the latest addition to Davy Jones' Crew!" He raged at him. "Now, Karl, take your sword, we will do the basic for a bit then Eric's turn, then Each of you will join me on the yardarm of the main mast, and we will learn how to fight in the rigging! Yes, on the yardarm! For when a ship is taken over one of the best chances to abandon it, is the rigging!" Captain Will yelled still in Eric's voice, he had only calmed down when talking to Karl. But he would not let up on Eric, it was enough to make him cower. Captain Will had learned to fight back a long long time ago, with swords or words, or wisdom. "Now Karl, if you'd please.." He said calmly as if yelling at Eric had never happened.. Even Kathleen was startled by this: He's crazy, but he's right, and well handsome. Kathleen thought as she picked up her sword, and held it out, and Captain Will began his mock attack at her, she perried it. He was going easy, made all the sense. She had seen him really at it before. It was a few hours before going easy went into becoming hard. But she was improving greatly, for she was a great learner. "Alright, that's enough!" Said Captain Will cheerfully, as she had already gotten up to start after a thirty minute break. "Eric!" Said Captain Will even more cheerful then ever. This confused some of the crew, who'd thought he'd be yelling at Eric. It was just after Midday now, and the ships had started gone not but a mile under darkness under the clouds, yet it did not rain, it got a bit foggy but did not rain...

Eric wanted to shout back at the Captain, but he kept silent and watched as Karl and Will fought with their swords. He studied each of their movements and also thought about what he could do himself when Will went to train him next. His arms were crossed and his face held no emotion on it. When his name was finally called, Eric stood in front and pulled out his sword, prepared to face Will and his challenges.

Adeline perked up when she heard yelling coming from Will that was aimed to Eric. Why was he on the ship? She wanted to go out and see what was going on, but fear kept her in her bed. She looked out the far window. It looked pretty nice out. "Should I even go out there?" She got up from the bed again, put on a night robe and tied it around her, and went toward the door. Her hand froze upon the handle. She thought about it again. Curiosity finally won her over. She opened it and crept silently over to Will, Karl, and Eric. Eric had a sword in his hand...this couldn't be good. Her eyes went wide at the sight, but she didn't say anything.

"Defend yerself ye ruttin' COWARD!" Shouted Will,and he attacked. Sword coming in from his right, though still only half heartedly but not as easy as Karl had gotten as there was a clang as the swords met.

by **HorseGal** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 3:34 pm

Eric went as quickly as possible to defend himself. He glared at Will after the clang, but didn't say anything. He heard a gasp and turned to see Adeline, in her night robe, staring at the sword fight. Her eyes and nose were red from crying. She looked...beautiful to Eric, and yet pathetic too, like a frightened little girl. "Can't think about her right now, get your mind in the fight." He pushed Will's sword away from him and prepared himself again. This time, he tried to attack Will, swinging and going for his legs.

Adeline put her hands over her mouth. What the hell were they doing? She looked from one man to the other and finally decided to speak. "Will, what is the meaning of this?"

by **Screaming Eagle** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 3:40 pm

He perried again going under Eric's Sword and bringing it back up on an angle, with a short clang. "Ye're not very good at this." He said cheerfully, grinning.

"Training, I just got done with my stint, next it's in the yardarm. " Replied Kathleen, to Adeline, though Kathleen could barely keep her manish voice from the tiring work.

Captain Will quickly let go and then attacked again this time going for the legs too, though he was hoping to miss and hit something else, but this time he was doing it the correct way unlike Eric's attempt..

by **HorseGal** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 3:47 pm

Eric tried to perry the attack, but suddenly he felt something hit against his leg. It was Will's sword. He wasn't quick enough. He clenched his teeth and hissed in slight pain, but tried his best to ignore it. Now was not the time to tend to wounds. He tried to attack, hoping to get him across the chest. He was going a little quicker than usual. He wanted the sword fight to go a little faster.

Adeline didn't say anything to Kathleen, only nodded. Her eyes were focused on Eric and Will, sword fighting. She was about to rush over when Eric got hurt, but he recovered and tried to attack Will again, this time going faster. "Oh no, Eric what are you trying to do..."

by **Screaming Eagle** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 3:53 pm

There was a large CLANG! Followed by a series of smaller ones. Will had blocked with such a force and speed Eric's Sword had fallen out of it's hand, falling to the deck, and his had was starting to bleed from the hilt being forced out, that and it seemed Captain Will's sword had made a small scratch.

Eric would of never made contact regardless of the force Captain Will had used.

"Pick it up!" He hissed at Eric. "We shall try again, and then the yardarm. Where you put your new skills to the test." He said in a neutral tone. "Not bad, but need more learning." He added.

by **HorseGal** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 4:04 pm

Eric smirked, bowed, and picked up his sword, though now his hand was hurting. He tried to prepare himself again for one of Captain Will's attacks. "Ready when you are, monsieur." There was dislike in his voice. This wasn't going to be good at all.

Adeline was starting to get nervous as Eric smirked and picked up his sword. Did he meant to do that? She wanted this to stop before it got too far out of hand, but there was nothing she could do. He needed the practice to prepare himself for what lay ahead.

by **Screaming Eagle** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 4:10 pm

"Ye may begin." He hissed, noticed that Eric would do something stupid, and decided to play along, he was going to save this for the yardarm battle... But now not so much. He shot a quick grinned as he backed near the only part of the ship that didn't have a railing to lean on as you looked out to see. He put his sword behind his back with both hands. "You may attack," He said calmly.

by **HorseGal** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 4:16 pm

He narrowed his eyes at Captain Will and studied him for a minute before attacking. Then finally, he raised the sword, then brung it down, aiming it around the face area.

Adeline shook her head and put her face in her hands. She couldn't watch...but she was a little interested. After all, Will had more experience and Eric...he was a singing tutor, not a sword fighter.

by **Screaming Eagle** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 4:25 pm

In on sweeping motion, Will side stepped, Slashed his sword, clanging with Eric's sword, again knocking it out of his, but he tripped Eric as Eric moved forward causing him to tumble and fall oveboard into the ocean. While slapping his back side with his own sword, as he had tumbled before falling. It had happened SO FAST! Captain Will was roaring with laughter, he could hear Barbossa's too. THE IDIOT! He had no idea he was being toyed with all the time! "If I had a coin for everytime... that happened!... I'd be richer then the King of England!" Shouted Captain Will with glee, grinning. As Eric was still over board in the ocean...

by **HorseGal** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 4:37 pm

Adeline gasped and watched as he fell overboard. She could hear the crew laughing, as well as Barbossa, Captain Will, Elizabeth, and Will. She ran to the edge of the ship, to see Eric in the water. "Eric," she shouted and tried to stifle some laughter. She had to admit, it was funny, but now Eric needed to get back on board. "H-Hold on," she shouted to him. "Get a rope out quick," she ordered to some laughing crewmen. "Now!"

They made their way to try to find a rope as quickly as possible. They could hear Eric shouting curses overboard, and couldn't help but laugh some more as they were trying to find some rope. Finally, they found some and cast it down to Eric's side.

Eric, meanwhile was shouting all kinds of curses. "What the hell?! Damnit! That *******!" He could see Adeline, trying her best to hold in her laughter and a rope being thrown to him. He mumbled more curses and grabbed it.

"Pull now, pull!" They all started to pull to get Eric in the ship again. Eric was coughing and spluttering by the time they finally got him on. Everything was soaked on him. There was more laughter and Adeline was worried about it. She didn't want his temper to spark. "Everyone, stop it."

by **Screaming Eagle** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 4:46 pm

"Belay that!" Said Captain Will even more gleefully, tears were coming down his face. It was the first time he had used his Lordship to overrule Adeline. He was really breathless. This really had made his day! "Alright Alright!" He called out ten minutes later, the laughter was faded, as he reminded of why they were practicing. "Ye may stop, continue or, change and then continue.." He said to Eric with a green.

by **HorseGal** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 4:53 pm

Adeline glared at Captain Will and sighed when they continued laughing for ten more minutes. She was kneeling by Eric's side, patting his back, forgeting the fear that she had. When they met each other's gaze, Adeline tried to give him a look that said, "I'm sorry." But all he did was get angry and push her away from his side. She was one of those laughing before...

He got up, walked over to the cabin without another word, and slammed the door shut. Adeline got up herself, but didn't follow him. She just stared in that direction with a depressed look on her face. They didn't know...

by **Screaming Eagle** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 4:56 pm

"Alright, BACK TO WORK THE LOT OF YA!" Shouted Will, as the crew of Night Raptor had also laughed. "Anyway Kathleen, want to head up to the rigging?", He asked "Karl".

Scotty aproached Chase again after a few hours of sailing. What now Scotty? Chase said, swinging his newly retrieved sword. Captain...we've spotted a few ships around these parts... Scotty grunted, staring at the back of his captain. Chase swung around aggressively, getting inches away from Scotty's face. Ships?! Plural?! he yelled, gripping the older man's shoulder. Scotty....we do not go after Ships. For all we know, they could be English Warships! Chase argued, taking his hand off of Scotty's shoulder. Chase turned back away and looked out at the sea. Scotty stood in the same spot, waiting for orders. Bloody hell, do I have to spell it out for you?! Get us out of here now, damn it! Chase yelled, his back still turned away from his First Mate. Scotty grunted and turned away. You know...you can say these things nicely... he said as he walked further away. I have no idea what your talking about! Chase yelled after him, still staring at the open ocean.

Adeline decided to watch the sword fight some more while she waited for Eric to come back out, if he ever came out. She wondered and feared what he could be doing in there. Was he shouting and knocking over stuff? Was he calmly getting changed and prepared for his next battle? What if he was planning something on Captain Will? They all swirled around in her mind. She hoped that Eric would come out with a smile, but she knew that was never going to happen, not after this. She noticed that Will called Karl Kathleen. Wait...that wasn't right, was it? "What did you just call Karl," she asked, curious.

Eric pulled off his wet clothes and changed into some new ones, grumbling to himself and cursing Captain Will and the rest of the crew for laughing at him. They will pay somehow...

He changed into a creme shirt and black pants. He glanced over to the chest that carried his mask longingly. Should he put it on or not? "No..." He finally walked out of the cabin with no sign of expression on his face.

Adeline saw Eric, but he wasn't looking at her. He stood beside her, but still he wasn't looking at her. "Eric," she tried. Nothing. He still ignored her. She grabbed his arm, but he pushed her away. "Please stop this," she whispered. She was starting to become upset and frightened that he wasn't talking to her. How long will it be before he finally did talk again?

by **Screaming Eagle** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 6:19 pm

"What?!" Asked Karl...

"Kathleen. And lower your hair, you're a woman who had run away from home. One hundred thousand reward. Son of Professor of Cambridge" He said calmly, though he was grinning either it was the reward, that he liked her, that he thought he was doing the right thing or it was the fact Eric had come back out after his beating. "Ar-are you going to turn me in?" She asked him bewildered as to how he figured it out. "Are ye nuts?" He asked her... "No...?" She replied.. What did this mean? He'd exchange me for the money? "No, and please don't turn me in-I don't want to go--" "Kathleen, I have no intention of exchanging your wit, your love of science, your cunning personality back to a world who dishonors such women like yerself. Unless you demand to return." He said to her calmly. She was taken aback she didn't expect this. "But the reward would-" "Aye, it would but ah, Woman like yourself pays a hundred times more." He replied calmly. She had already let down her hair, for it had been in pony tail, which made sense British officers often did that. She dropped Pillows out from under her uniform too to hid her chest. "I wonder what happened to those." He said with a faint smile. "So what ye say, same as when I took ye aboard in Brazil, aye?" He asked her still with a faint smile. "Aye, Captain." She replied happily. "Aye," he said returning the smile and happy tone.. "Oi Eric, you want a go in the rigging now?" He asked him with a grin.

by **HorseGal** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 6:28 pm

Adeline was suprised that Karl was a...woman. Kathleen was her correct name. She was also glad that there was another woman on board to talk to. That leaves three women and the rest are all men. Eric still wasn't talking to her. "Fine, I could play this game," she thought bitterly and folded her arms. When Captain Will asked Eric to have another go, she glanced fearfully in his way. What would he do? What would he say? "Please..no...temper," she thought.

"It would be my pleasure," he hissed and walked forward, still not glancing once at Adeline. He picked up his sword that he dropped earlier. He was too angry to be suprised that Karl was in fact a woman.
