chapter six: revelations

She felt a weight on her chest making it difficult to breath.

"Lynn?" she heard Jack's voice cutting trough the darkness. But only seconds ago...only for a moment. The safty of her darkness had been gone. She had seen two piercing brown eyes line with kohl. When the eyes dissapeared she suddenly came face to face with Nathan...the man her parents had promised her to even before the accident when she was just a child. He had his pistol raised at her. A shot rang trough the air. Lynn had closed her eyes for a minute bringing back the darkness wich had began to make her feel safe and secure...but she wasn't hurt. She opened her eyes and looked down at herself, checking to see if she was hurt. She looked back up at Nathan who grinned. Suddenly she heard a loud thud behind her. She turned to see what it was and gasp. The two eyes she had seen before, the ones that had somehow made her feel protected...owned by a man breathing heavily as the life poured out of him. She kneeled down beside him. Some tears escaped her eyes as she realized who it was.

"Jack..?" she whispered softly.

"LUV? I'm here." She was snapped out of it. Slowly she opened her eyes, somehow releaved to still be in complete darkness.

"Jack...what..?"

"Sssh." she felt him brush his hand against her cheek softly.

"I saw...you...Nathan." suddenly the hand was pulled back.

"Who?"

"He killed you." she said softly. "I thought he..."

"Nothing happened luv, you past out. Probably the sun." he said. He sat down beside her on the deck and hugged her to him.

"I guess your right." she forced a smile. Jack placed his thumb and indexfinger on her chin and turned her towards him. He gently kissed her.

"Don't worry luv, I'm not planning on dying any time soon."

"You're parents were the ones to call of your engagement in the first place remember! Surely you don't wish to wed a disabled woman?" Nathan looked up at the woman sitting at the vanity as he was laying on the bed covered with silk sheets and soft pillows.

"You don't understand...she is the only heir to their fortune. After their unfortunate accident last month, everything goes to her."

"So?"

"So? What do you mean so? She'll be a duchess, rich. Whoever she marries will not only have acces to their fortune, but he would also receive a title!" The woman got up from her seat and stalked over to the bed. She climbed on seductively and crawled over to Nathan, who grinned as he wrapped his arms around her to pull her into a passionate kiss.

"So what will become of me once your all rich and a duke?"

"You'll be my mistress, I love you. You won't have to worry about money ever again...and neither will our children." he grinned pulling the sheets over the both of them.

"But she's part of a piratecrew now. How are you going to find her and make her marry you?"

"Don't worry Viola, I know where the Black Pearl is headed and I shall be there waiting for Rosalynn as soon as they arrive." he grinned.

One more day before they would go into Port. There was a party going on on deck, most men had family in the port they were now visiting and were glad to see them again. Lynn wasn't part of the celebration. She sat in her room with her back against the wall next to her bed. She was going to have to talk to Jack soon. Will had remembered her of her promise and she feared telling Jack that she was leaving...but mostly she dreaded telling him why. Suddenly she heard the door open.

"Aren't ye gonna join the party luv?" She heard Jack's voice.

"No, I think I'll stay in here."

"Something wrong?" She shook her head a voice in her head immediatly told her she was a liar.

"Come on, I won't have ye moping about in yer cabin by yerself while the rest up us are all having a good time." She felt him take her hand and pulling her onto her feet.

"Jack" she softly started.

"aye?"

"I'm not gonna come back to Pearl when we go ashore." she said softly. He let go of her hand and stared at her.

"oh" was all he could say.

"I'm sorry"

"That's not good enough luv! Why aren't ye gonna come back? I thought ye liked being here." She nodded.

"I do! Very much. But I can't stay."

"So that's how it is? I'm not even getting an explaination? What about that kiss?"

"Come on Jack, we both know you can get a new woman whenever you wanted."

"What if I want you?"

"Please don't say that?"

"Why not?"

"Because you know as well as I do that it's not true. Will told me about all the diffrent women at diffrent ports!" Lynn turned away from him.

"Don't leave."

"I can't stay."

"Why not?"

"Because..."

"Of what? Come on luv, tell me!" he turned her to face him and looked down at her.

"I...I...why are you doing this?"

"Why I'm doing this? I don't want you to go!"

"Oh, please...you just want..."

"YOU! But your just to blind to see!" Jack spat. Her eyes grew wide with shock. "Luv?" he asked when she didn't talk or move...just stare straight ahead.

"You're right..." she suddenly said...her eyes still focussed on one spot.

"...Lynn?" he asked confused.

"Your right! I am blind! I can't see! That's why I'm leaving!" she yelled backing away from Jack. He just stared at the woman before him. He looked into the big blue orbs that were her eyes. The thought that she couldn't see anything trough them...it was allmost unthinkable. She heard him walking towards the door when suddenly...

"Bullshit!" he said sharply. Lynn's head turned towards the sound of his voice.

"Excuse me?"

"That's a stupid reason to leave." Surprised Lynn sat down on the side of her bed.

"Why is that?"

"Because you've been able to do all your chores without problems! Ye even faught the navey while you were blind. You expect me to see you unfit as a pirate after all the good work you did? Just because you can't see? I can't wiggle my ears, that doesn't mean I can't be a pirate captain. Your staying and that's final!" She felt him sit down beside her on the bed. He couldn't help but grinn as he saw the confused look on her face. He had meant what he said, and he wasn't about to let her go.

"Are you serious?" He nodded...immediately realising how stupid he was for doing that, not like she could see the gesture.

"Luv, when am I not serious?" he grinned.

"mr mcPherson? The Black Pearl has been seen on the horizon. They should arrive some time tommorrow afternoon." Nathan looked up from the paperwork laying before him on his desk.

"Thank you Henry, your work shall be rewarded." The young boy nodded as he left the office.

"What are you grinning about?" Viola asked as she entered the office from the other room.

"My fiancé shall be arriving tommorrow." he grinned.
