Chapter 22
“A wonderful
little actress?”
At
that moment, time seemed to stand still.
Both Jack and Cordelia were wide eyed, their mouths hanging open
slightly. Jack turned his head to look
at Cordelia and said, “Wha’s ‘e talkin’ about, Cordy?”
Cordelia’s
response was soft. “I…Jack, I don’t have
the slightest idea.”
Seeing
this as an opportunity, Ahriman smiled to himself. He could easily make things go the way he wanted them to. “Ye mean you haven’t told him, Cordelia?”
“Told
him wh-what? What are you trying to
do?”
Ahriman
made a “tsk tsk” noise as he strode closer to the bed; Jack’s guard was now
very much down. “My dear little sister,
ye needn’t keep up yer act anymore. Ye
did a fine job in seducin’ Sparrow ‘ere an’…”
“Sister? Seducing?”
Cordelia looked as though she was falling apart from the inside
out. Her eyes flittered to Jack. “I swear, Jack, I don’t have any idea what
this man is talking about.”
“’Course
ye don’, love,” Jack said weakly. “’E’s
tryin’ t’ get the both of us t’ lose our focus, make it easier for ‘im t’ try
an’ take me ship, since ‘e knows ‘e can’ win a fight against me.” His voice grew stronger. “S’not gonna work, Barbossa.”
Ahriman
didn’t appear to be any less pleased as he continued to talk to Cordelia. “I do hope ye remembered t’ tell ‘im everythin’
we went o’er. Yer mum dyin’ after she
had ye, that nice older couple takin’ ye in, not tellin’ ye who ye were…Am I
missin’ anything?”
Jack
looked at Cordelia. “’Ow does ‘e know
this?”
“I
don’t know, Jack,” Cordelia replied, her voice now panic-stricken. She watched a change in Jack’s eyes. “You have to believe me, Jack, I would never
lie to…”
“I
see tha’ arm didn’ heal so well, Jack,” Ahriman interrupted. “Terrible lookin’ scar I gave ye.” He again looked at Cordelia. “Ye were jus’ a lass when I did tha’, but I
remember tellin’ ye the story before ye…”
“Stop
it!” Cordelia screamed, but it was too late.
Jack backed away from the bed, his eyes cold.
“Ye
lied t’ me,” he said accusingly. “Ye
let me trust ye enough t’ keep ye on me ship, t’ love ye, and none of it was
real…”
Tears
were streaming from Cordelia’s eyes.
“No. No! Jack I swear on my life!”
“You’re
life means nothing t’ me now.” His
voice was calm, which frightened Cordelia all the more. “He couldn’ know any o’ wha’ ‘e said if ‘e
was lyin’. The stories are…’ow would ‘e
know?”
“I
told you,” she sobbed, “I don’t know!”
“Tha’s
not a good enough answer.”
“We
need ye back on the ship, Cordy,” Dolon said, adding to the situation. “Those meals o’ yours are sorely missed.”
“I’ve
never seen you in my life!” Cordelia screamed.
“Jack, please, you cannot possibly believe them over me!”
Ahriman
laughed. “Wonderful little actress,
ain’ she, Jack? Me dad taught ‘er
well. ‘E gained yer trust too, if
memory serves me righ’.”
Jack
looked at Cordelia, then at Dolon. “Go
ahead, take ‘er out o’ me sight…” His
eyes then fell on Ahriman. “…but ye
aren’ takin’ me ship.”
Dolon
quickly returned to the bed, picked up Cordelia – who was only clad in a sheet
– and carried her, kicking and screaming for Jack out of the cabin and off of The
Black Pearl.
“Little
heartbreaker, isn’ she, Jack? Probably
made ye think ye were ‘er ‘first’ an’ everythin’, didn’ she?” He had just raised his sword when he heard a
ruckus on the deck – a large number of the crew was returning. “We’ll finish this tonight, I promise ye
tha’, Sparrow.” Ahriman quickly
disappeared from Jack’s cabin, leaving him alone.
Jack
stood perfectly still for several minutes before his sword fell from his
hand. The pirate then dropped to his
knees as silent tears fell from his eyes.
