Pirates! (One-on-One)

Aubrey woke up first, her eyes puffy from sobbing. She noticed Avice and tugged her hair from her place, gurgling slightly.

 

"Mam..mama," she insisted, patting her face with her hands. "Memsph."

 

She looked up at her plaintively.

"Mema." She patted her mouth, frowning at Avice. "Mm."

 

She began to cry openly, patting her mouth again.

"Mem."

 

She seemed distressed, her sobs growing louder. Her hand continued to pat her mouth and she watched Avice, trying to get her to understand.

 

She nodded, clinging to her like a buoy in a storm.

 

She went quiet, burying her face in Avice's shoulder.

 

(Tiny time skip?)

 

Jack woke slowly, reaching for Aubrey. When he found that her side of the bed was cold, his eyes flew open and he sat up, looking down with a mixture of fear and worry. His head whipped around as he looked for signs of them and his eyes widened. His heart pounding, he tried to get out of the bed and landing heavily, groaning with the impact. He took a moment to clear his head before pulling himself forward across the floor.

 

Jack's face was pale as he got to the door and he looked around nervously, trying to figure out how to pull himself back up.
