Another drabble, for the second prompt at the potc_votes drabble challenge...



~ Frozen Moment ~


"He elected to stay behind, to give us a chance."

Gibbs stared at Elizabeth, dumbstruck, in spite of the fact that this wasn't unexpected. Jack's luck had run out, and he was scared, who wouldn't be? But when it came down to brass tacks, he'd do what he had to.

But... Jack! His captain! His friend...

"Go!"

Josh's moment was lost. Elizabeth's voice was hoarse, grim... ah, the poor lass, much as she loved her Will, she had a terrible soft spot for Jack, her pirate stories made real, though maybe not how she'd once dreamed them.

They shoved off, wordless, away from the beautiful Black Pearl, away from Captain Jack Sparrow, and they began to row.

In spite of the bright, warm Caribbean day, Joshamee Gibbs had never felt so cold.

He's known Elizabeth for a long time, too -- one tends to forget that they were on the same ship for several months when she crossed from England. Not that he seemed too thrilled with her at the time, but I can imagine her nagging him for stories.

So glad you enjoyed! Thank you for commenting.
