Drabble: 'Escape' (Jack/Pearl - PG-13)

100 rather dark and angsty words for the current prompt at [livejournal.com profile] blackpearlsails...



~ Escape ~


You let them go? You shall take their place. Runaways are whipped, Jack. Slaves are branded…

He jerks awake to Beckett’s ghostly murmur, a shameful mewl coiled in his throat, hovering on his lips.

By God, he’ll be damned first.

He lies there in the black, heart like a triphammer, sweat pouring, hearing the hiss of words and whip, smelling sickly cologne and his own seared flesh.

He lies there, in the black.

The black.

Puts his hand out, groping, touching the charred bulkhead of his ship. His Pearl.

Not slaves. Not now. Not ever.

The Black Pearl is freedom.
