He watched her from around the around the corner. What he saw tore his heart.
'Oh Bessie.' If ever he would cry, it would have been then. But he hardened himself. He had to get her out of there. The two guards from three weeks ago were forcing her to clean the dirt and straw ridden floor with her bare hands. 'What else have they made her do?' Jack asked himself. He wanted to jump in and kill them right then. But no, he had to wait. Hopefully he wouldn't have to wait long.
Bells started ringing, the noise they tolled out warned all that pirates had been sighted. 'About time.'
"Boys," slurred Jack as he swaggered into full view of the two guards and Bessie. "Ye be havin' something of mine," he gestured wildly and lent forward slightly as he brought his hands together in what would be, on another man, be called a prey. He portrayed an uncaring air of what would happen to the girl, and that he was only there because she was his.
Bessie looked up. The intense hate and anger she threw his way, almost shocked Jack out of his act.
The one who had felt Jack's blade on his next backed away slightly. "Jim, perhaps..." he stopped as soon as Jim grabbed Bessie by the hair and pulled her to her knees.
"She's not yer's."
"Aye, she is," grinned Jack wickedly, showing his golden fillings. "I never had my chance wit her, nor is it the morning I be hanged. So, as soon as that morning comes, yer can have her back. Savvy?"
Bessie craned her head to look at something. Then, before Jim could do anything, she grabbed his knife and pulled it out of its sheath, then stabbed him in the leg. He howled in pain and threw her against the wall. The knife clattered to the ground not far from her. Jack launched himself at the second man, who was unprepared for the attack and died within seconds, Jack's sword buried deep in his chest. Bessie pulled herself to her feet and scrambled to get the knife. Jim was clutching his leg in pain.
Bessie turned slightly to face Jack, but kept Jim in her view.
Jack was shocked.
"Lass..."
"Yer left me." Bessie hissed savagely, not stuttering for the first time in years.
"I came back."
"Yer left me!" Bessie screamed. But instead of attacking Jack, she turned and jumped on Jim, stabbing him continuously.
"Lass! Lass! He's dead! Stop lass!" Jack struggled to pull the angry girl away from the now dead Jim. The knife and knocked out of her hand. She started kicking at him.
"Stop it," Jack hissed. "We have to get out of here before they find out I'm here." He took his sword back from the dead man and pulled Bessie after him as he started running. She stopped fighting and ran with him, it was either that or be dragged. Jack's grip on her arm did not slacken.
Everything blurred for Bessie, she could not see through her tears, tears of pain, relief and maybe a bit of happiness. Suddenly she was being lifted into a small boat and splashing could be heard as the boat was pushed out into the sea. There was more splashing as the oars took her from the place she had known all her life.
