Everything silenced and only two gunshots were heard. When the men heard the gunshots ran from one ship to the other one. Then something dragged me down, not a person, but something else. Like my body. I couldn't control it. What? What happened? I thought and when my back touched the wooden floor I felt a pain running through my body.

"Scarlett!" Someone yelled right next to my ears. I turned around and saw Rick, holding his hands at my left shoulder. Then it hit me. I'm bleeding. He shot me at my shoulder . I looked from my shoulder to Rick and back at my shoulder. Then I saw Rick had wrapped a cloth around my shoulder.

My senses came back at me and got up a little after trying to balance myself.

"Scarlett are you alright?" He asked me and looked at my eyes.

I blinked and nodded. Then I said him, "I'm fine. Where is Samuel?"

"He is fighting. Scarlett yo-

"Kirkland?"

"He is fighting and his ship with it's crew are throwing cannon balls. Scarlett you must-"

"No! Go and protect with your life the cabin. Don't let anyone go near there. Do you understand me?" I said and took out my sword. Thank god he shot my left shoulder and not at the right. Then I wouldn't be able to fight. "I'm going to find Samuel and teach him a lesson."

"Be careful Jack!" He said and looked at me.

I laughed a little. "Of course! I will never die. They always underestimate young boys like the two of us." I replied just like everytime a battle was taken place when we were younger. I ran as I went to my ship's railings I grabbed a rope and jumped to Samuel's ship.

At the time I set my feet at the deck a pirate came towards with his hand holding a sword. Not wasting any time I got mine out of it's sheath and encountered him. He didn't expected from a woman to fight as good as I did as I saw his scared look in his eyes when I disarmed him. Without losing my mind I asked him a simple question. "Where is your Captain?"

"He'll kill you whore painfully and slowly but before that you will beg to di-" I didn't let him finish his sentence as my cutlass went through his guts.

"Not the correct answer." I said and headed towards another fight to help my men who had a problem fighting.

This continued for who knows how much time, until I was right in front of Salt. My rage was filled as many of my men died by his and his crew hands. But the same was going in his mind without me knowing. He was thinking how a woman at her 20s could be so independent and so skillful fighter.

"Let's finish this Salt once and for all."

"I saw that I took one of your lifes now Kenway. How many are you left with? Two? One? As many as they are going to be you will not sail again...at least free." Samuel said and smirked readying himself to attack me.

I growled at him and encountered his attack, trying to find an opportunity where I could strike. This continued for a while, all the time I striked and he deflected, or the opposite. Both of us were out of breath but refused to move and call a truce for a few minutes or a few days. Someone was going to leave from here alive and the other one was going to be food for the sharks.

I tried my best but my wounded shoulder wasn't letting me to use my whole body and strength to attack Samuel. He on the other hand was out of breath too but not as quick as I was. But he wasn't letting his guard down easily and always when I thought he left a spot open to hit him even the slightest he was one step closer cutting my head off.

Our little game went for who knows how much time until I successfully cut him at his right arm. He growled at me and glared at me with amusement and an angry look. That terrified me very much. "Think of it as a payback for what you did at my shoulder." I managed to say not even thinking of stuttering of my terror.
