Broken Sword (chapter 9)
On the arm of the girl, there was the pirate mark, but nothing else.No sword.
"Rosette Starwind...call me Rose."She said, and Jack stared at her."I'm her twin, mate!"she said, seeing his confusion.
"W-where is Sword?"he demanded.
Rose put her hand to her forhead, looking agitated."Look, can we discuss this inside? I 'ave quite a lot to say, if yer gonna question me."
The group went inside, and sat down, Jack eyeing the girl suspiciously.She looked just like Sword.But he knew it wasn't her.He had known, subconciously. Will and Elizabeth didn't know at all what was going on, and Jack noticed their discomfort."Will, mate, it's a'ight if yeh want to go on an' prepare for the wedding."he said.
Will was confused."No, it's ok, unless you want to be alone with her." he said.
Jack shook his head, and turned to Rose.She took it as her cue to start talking."Sword is off...lookin' for somethin'."she said, not wanting to share any more than that, but knew that she had to, so she went on."She is looking for the Ring of Hope...in exchange for 'er ship."she said with a sigh.
Jack was sure she was lying."Her ship was sunk."
She sighed again."No, mate, That's only a rumour Rat started...You know who he is, right?"
Jack nodded.
"Well, the ship is still fine, but Rat did kill all the crew, except for two o' his brothers.One o' them yeh just saw...apparently he's tryin' to get revenge for Rat.The other,...I don't know what he's tryin' to do.He met Sword in Tortuga, an' before she could kill 'im, he told 'er that he knew where the ship was hidden, but will only tell 'er an' let 'er have it back, if she gave 'im a ring called the Ring Of Hope...it's supposed to bring back to life any dead man, an' let them live while they wear it, an' if they take it of, the man will fade away.I suppose that he wants to bring Rat back to life..."she explained."But, it's only legend...I don't think it exists at all."
Jack took a while to understand all this information, then a new question came to his mind."I didn't even know she had family 'at cared 'bout 'er...Why would she not just tell me where she was goin', why would she bother askin' yeh to take 'er place while she was gone?"he asked.
Rose looked at him, smiling mysteriously."She didn't ask me to take 'er place. She wasn't goin' to come back."
Jacks eyebrows raised."Why did yeh try to take 'er place then?yeh thought yeh could live like 'at?"he asked, but what really bothered him was the fact that Sword left him.Without a word, she just left.Why?Because now that she had hope of getting her ship back she didn't think she needed him anymore?
"Because I knew she'd come back, even if she didn't.When she came to visit me, she told me all 'bout what 'appened.'Ow she had noone left, an' yeh helped 'er.Well, I was still there, but I'm not much help.Never was too good at the whole family thing...Anyway, yeh should 'ave heard 'ow she was talkin' 'bout yeh, Jack.I knew that even if she got 'er ship, she'd still come back to yeh. But yeh didn't sound like a trustworthy man, so I came to hold 'er place, and keep an eye on yeh.I didn't want yeh forgettin' bout 'er by the time she was back.An' not like I 'ad anythin' better to do.The ship I worked on just named a new captain, an' he threw me off...Yeh saw 'ow bad I am at fightin'...Now, any more questions? I'm rather tired."she finished, and Elizabeth already moved to show her to a guestroom.It was late.
Will went to the kitchen, and came back with a bottle of rum.He quietly led Jack to an other room, and stopped him on his way in, handing him the bottle."She'll be back." he said simply, and closed the door on him.He had a wedding tomorrow, and he didn't have time to spend more time with his friend now, but Jack could see his concern.
Jack sat down on his bed, rubbing a ring on his finger."Aye.She no doubt will be.Sooner that she thought." He pulled it off, and grinned at his hands, which became blurry, and started to fade.He waited until he could feel his strenght flow away, put it quickly back on, gaining back his reality, and took a swig of the rum.He played this game for a while.He enjoyed the way all feeling started to leave him. Enjoyed to play with death.When he got bored of it, he was tired and drunk.It didn't take long until he drifted off to sleep.
