Notes: I know, very short chapter indeed! XD
Gentle patting of feet begun to make Arabella come out of her sleep as she could smell the scent of food near her.
"Dinner, Captain" explained Matthew while placing it on the table.
"I don't want it, dinner won't bring him back" she mumbled
"You mustn't act like that" he sighed
"It's all very well for you to say that, but you've never lost someone before" remarked Arabella
"Yes I have" he muttered "I lost you a couple of hours ago"
Arabella avoided his comment as she replied "Tell the crew they can have all the rum they want as there seems to be a need to celebrate apparently"
"Captain, I know it is wrong to ask you this at this time, but I think you should join the celebrations as the crew are already suspious"
"Suspious!" she exclaimed
"Aye, when they saw you break down when the Endeavour was blown up" he replied in a low voice as she nodded "Very well"
Later in the evening, Arabella decided to join her crew in the celebrations yet she would not be celebrating Beckett's death but his life and the precious moments they had together as she tried to be as cheerful as she could in front of the crew even though in the inside, she was breaking.
"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me!" the crew sung loudly while holding there cups of rum high in the air.
One of the crew members, a young man called John Wood, not particularly bright and always nervous in awkward situations spotted his Captain but he noticed the sadness in her eyes that she was trying to hide and could not figure out why. He decided to walk over to her and smiled "Cheer up Captain! Beckett is dead and we have won our fight for freedom!"
Arabella looked at him sadly as she replied "There are other things besides freedom"
"Like what?" asked John
"Love" she mumbled
"That's freedom, just a different type of it" he replied
