Chapter 37: Dancing a jig

Asha slept facing the window in her room while Her Father slept next to her while Ban slept on the sofa. They weren't about to leave her again and they kept the door locked so no one could sneak in. Krieger who began to stir, sat up and could see the sun start to come up and looked down at his daughter. He shook his head in sadness. He had missed so much of her life because he thought he was protecting her, but he was wrong. Her mother, his wife, was gone and his son and daughter were both in danger from one threat and now they faced another. If it was possible and the O'Hara that was at the fort was a fake, then where was a real O'Hara and was he alive?

Ban groaned as he began to wake then looked over at the bed and saw Asha was still sleeping. He looked at the curtains then closed them more to try and keep the room semi dark so Asha would sleep longer.

"She sleep through the whole night?" Ban whispered.

Krieger nodded, "She did. Her body needs to heal...as well as her mind." He looked at Ban, "You said that what is happening between O'Hara and Asha is very unlike General O'Hara. If you're right on that, Ban, then that means that Stephen knows that Asha, Karissa, my son, and I are alive and replaced the real General O'Hara with that creepy ass look alike. And if it isn't really him, then when would Stephen have swapped...them, I guess is the term?"

Ban shrugged, "He seemed like his normal self before, so I'm not sure."

"Well, aside from what he's done to Asha, he's pretty much the same, so he's been schooled on everyone here, including Cornwallis, but there would have to be someone else here on the inside to have given him that information. Either way, we can't let this...possible fake O'Hara, know what he's been doing, we have to play dumb, but we don't let him be alone with her. Not for a minute, make up any excuse that we can."

"Agreed. Or we can just kill him, I personally just want to kill him," said Ban.

Krieger nodded as he looked down at his daughter again, "I definitely agree with you on that." He looked at the door as he heard a knock. He gave Ban a nod to go answer which he promptly did. He opened the door slightly then turned back towards Krieger, "It's Sean."

Sean walked in and saw Asha sleeping on the bed then looked at his Father then to Ban, "What the hell are you two doing in here?"

Krieger placed his fingers to his mouth "Shhh. She needs to sleep. Did you see O'Hara out there?"

"He's talking with Lord Cornwallis, but I overheard him saying something about Asha, not sure what though. Why, what's going on?"

Ban looked to Sean, "Asha's been raped."

"By who?"

"By O'Hara...or at least someone that looks like him, we're not sure."

Sean walked to the bed and looked down at Asha who was sleeping peacefully. He looked to his Father, "It really wouldn't surprise me if Stephen is behind this. Of having someone that looks like O'Hara, I wouldn't be shocked at all. I want in on a shift of staying with her."

"We need to be careful to not alert O'Hara...or look alike that we are onto him, if we do, then he'll escape or worse, he'll kill someone," said Krieger. He sighed, "I just hope Karissa and Luca can find Tavington and get him back here."

/

"How many fucking camps can there be?!" growled Luca in frustration as they sat upon their horses on a hill.

Karissa sighed, "There's only two more. I'm willing to bet he's in the one down at the bottom of the hill there."

"Really? How much?"

"Winner gets to beat the fuck out of the man that's raped, Asha," said Karissa.

"Please. Like we will even get a chance. Tavington and Krieger will get first dibs. We might be able to get a piece if we are lucky."

Karissa nodded then they rode down to the camp. A private took their horses and they walked around asking for Tavington until Karissa spotted him and Bordon head into a tent. "Luca, spotted him, come on!"

They ran to the tent that Tavington just walked in. "William!" Karissa yelled then stopped as she saw all the men in the tent, shocked that she just used his first name. She cleared her throat, "Um...sorry. Colonel Tavington, we need to speak with you about something."

"We're in the middle of something, Karissa," said Bordon. "Can you wait outside for us please?"

"This can't wait!"

"Gentlemen, please escort Karissa outside the tent," said Tavington.

"William, no!" Karissa fought the men, "Damn it, this is about, Asha!"

"Stop," said Tavington. "What about her?"

Karissa pushed the men off her then she looked at Tavington, "Can we talk about this in private, please? Bordon and Wilkins can stay, but other than that, private. No offense, Gentlemen."

Tavington sighed then looked around at his men and gave a nod, signaling for them to leave. He crossed his arms and leaned against the pole, "Alright, what's this about?"

"You need to come back to the Fort."

"Well, we just found out who the Ghost is. His name is Benjamin Martin. Wilkins here just told us where his children might be hiding, and we were on our way there."

"You can't. Not yet, you need to come back to the Fort. Please."

"You said this is was about Asha, what about her? She feel like arguing with me some more about my methods? Well, we don't have time." He started to walk past Karissa.

"She's being raped, William!" she blurted out.

Tavington stopped in his tracks and turned around, "What?"

Karissa sighed, "She's being raped. As far as we know, a few times. Her wrists were bound, they have the cuts in them to prove it."

"I...who's raping her, I don't understand."

"William, please. I will fill all of you in on the way, but she needs you. Asha, needs you."

Wilkins and Bordon looked to Tavington who gave a nod, "Alright, fill us in. Let's head back to the fort. We'll worry about Martin later."

O'Hara opened the doors, shocked and upset that these men were in Asha's men, "What exactly are all of you doing in here? She should be resting."

"And she is, General," said Sean. "But she's family, so we stay with her. After everything Stephen has done to her, we refuse to leave again."

O'Hara nodded, "I see, well, that's going to be a problem because Lord Cornwallis wishes to see all of you. No exceptions."

"I don't care what he says," said Krieger, "I'm not leaving my daughter."

"Well, while I understand, her young boy is in trouble and Lord Cornwallis wants to talk to you lot about it. Apparently, he was caught stealing and since his mother is indisposed, you're next of kin."

"Fine, they can go, I'll stay," said Ban.

"Afraid not, you are to be seen by Cornwallis for something else, for what I did not ask, but you should go."

"No," said Ban.

O'Hara shook his head then looked behind him at the door. Some of the Infantry men walked in, "Since these people are refusing to see Cornwallis, you are ordered to take them to him. Now." He smiled as Krieger, Sean, and Ban fought then men and were subdued.

"I will kill you if you hurt her again!" growled Krieger.

O'Hara smiled "I don't know what you're talking about." He leaned in to Krieger, "I'm going to fuck her bloody and I will stick my cock in every hole that she has." He winked and looked to the men, "Take them away."

"No, wait!" shouted Ban. "You're making a mistake!"

O'Hara locked the doors after everyone was escorted out. He turned around to the bed to Asha and smiled. He walked up to her and cocked his head as he watched her sleep. He looked at the bedboard bars and looked back to Asha. He gently took her arms and tied them to the bars then tightened them.

Asha jerked her eyes open to see O'Hara above her. She quickly looked around for her Father or Ban. He quickly tied a gag around her mouth, "Before you start screaming," he chuckled. He slid down Asha's knickers, "I'll let you choose, sweetheart. Would you like it here?" he stuck his fingers into her, making her yank down on her binds, "or in your other hole?" He chuckled, "Tell you what, Asha, I'm going to do something different this time. I'm going to make you enjoy this. I'm going to make you cum and I'll make you cum hard. Because I think for you, that'll be the biggest betrayal. It's different when I'm just sticking it to you, but to make you orgasm, that'll be the biggest betrayal in your mind. Sound good to you, sweetheart?"

"Fuck you!" She shouted through her gag.

"Just what I was thinking," he smiled.

Stephen's men lead the real General O'Hara through some hallways to a dining area. He stopped in the doorway and stared at a table filled with food with Stephen sitting on the end, "Ah, General, won't you dine with me?"

O'Hara was shivering from the cold cell he was in, starving from the lack of food he was given, as well as thirsty and now all of a sudden, he was being treated to food. He looked at the food again, his stomach growling at the smell, "It's poisoned."

Stephen laughed, "Oh, General. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble in having the cooks make up something, just to poison you. I would have just walked into that room and put a bullet through your skull or a sword through your stomach, so please, sit."

O'Hara reluctantly walked to the other end of the table and sat down. It wasn't too long that he began to dig into the food and sighed at the taste of it. He looked to Stephen who was smiling at him which made him set his bread down, "What is your man doing to, Asha?"

"Well," he looked at the clock, "by now, he's probably fucking her again and if he does it right and pleasures her this time, Tavington should walk in to her having an orgasm to which he will think that everyone was making her being raped, a lie and that she enjoyed having you...or my man as you say, inside of her. I don't think I could stop him at this point, even if I wanted to. Apparently, he really enjoys her," he chuckled.

"You sick, sadistic, son of a bitch."

"Oh, come on, General, I know you wanted her, not that I blame you of course, but I know you did."

O'Hara shook his head, "Even if I did, I would never stoop to the low that you are having that man do. Not ever." He looked around, "Why the hell do you even have me here?"

"Consider this your last meal, General."

"But you said that you weren't going to kill me."

"And I'm not, but there will come a time that my O'Hara will get caught and most likely be tried and killed, but instead of him being there, we'll swap you, so you'll be the one to swing. Now, I know what you're thinking. You'll just tell everyone right?" He took a drink, "You'd be wrong. See, I've planted another person at the fort, so I now have two people there under my employ and they will tell me when all is ready, then I'll have one of my men make it look like my O'Hara's tongue been ripped out and then we will really rip out yours and you will die without being able to tell anyone. So, eat up, General. Your time is running out."

O'Hara looked down at the table in fear as he continued to hear Stephen laugh. How was he going to get out of this and save his own life and help His Lordship with Asha?

"Oh, and another thing, Asha is a lot like me. She's a killer too and Krieger, and all the other idiots that are there. They're assassins, O'Hara. Surprise."

O'Hara began to feel a little woozy and looked at Stephen, "Bastard," he mumbled then fell out of his chair.

"And I forgot to mention that put something in your drink," Stephen laughed as he finished his food.
