Drabble: 'Apologies'
Oct. 7th, 2007 10:47 pmA hundred words exactly for the drabble challenge for this week at Black Pearl Sails. The theme is...
~ Apologies ~
I'm not sorry.
Had she ever spoken words less true?
A volatile mix of fear, anger, lust, and bloody-minded determination, had spurred her on. They would not be killed for Jack's bargain with the Devil, not if she could help it. And help it she had, in a scene of seduction and betrayal worthy of the Theatre Royal.
Actress.
Pirate.
But Liar hit the mark.
Tia Dalma said there was a way, and Elizabeth would spend herself in journeying to the ends of the earth to make it right.
And for that, in truth, she would not be sorry.
