Drabble: The Call
Jan. 8th, 2006 09:23 pmTitle: The Call
Word Count: 100
Characters: The Black Pearl
A/N: Written for the Black Pearl's Tremor drabble theme. I'm trying to get back into writing. Well, back into posting, really.
It was The Pearl who felt the call first, this time. A soft tremor beneath their feet as she shuddered in the still waters tipped off her crew even before the winds changed. Her tattered sails whipped furiously, protesting the abuse. The skies above them clouded over, but it was too late by then, too late by far. They could all feel it. They all knew what it meant.
The gold. The gold called to them.
All heads faced the same direction, but it was only Barbossa, triumphant smile on his face, who spoke those two, fatal words. “Port Royal.”
