Drabble: 'Haunted' (Jack - G)
Part two for the current drabble challenge, from a different pov...
~ Haunted 2 ~
She was haunted.
No longer that coltish beauty he’d fished from the sea, all gold and self-righteous fire, nor that pretty “boy” who’d accosted him so boldly on the dock in Tortuga.
...looking for the man I love...
Not his fierce and desperate Nemesis, either.
He dreamt of her, over and over, in spite of the lack of such essentials as night, and rest. He dreamt, and it was torture sharp as the waterless void.
She was silver now, thin and hard as a blade, hair pale and lank, eyes dark, cheeks wet.
Served her right.
...peas in a pod...

Thank you so much! Ultimately it seemed to be her story, throughout, and Jack drawn like a moth to a flame.
