Summary
‘James Norrington, do you fear death?’ came the dreaded question, but as James raised his head to look Jones in the eye, he realised he felt no fear, only defiance.
No, James Norrington did not fear death – never had, if he was being honest, at least not since Elizabeth had ripped out his heart and he had sailed hundreds of men to their untimely deaths in that godforsaken hurricane. Perhaps he had even hoped for it, then – longed for it, death being the merciful bliss, the freedom that had never been bestowed upon him in life.
But he hadn’t died then. And he felt like he couldn’t die now, either. Not out of fear, but as one last act of defiance towards Jones, Beckett, and all the people that had tried to control him in his life. And suddenly, faced with the two radical options Jones had given him, he realised that there was a third one, and he chose to act upon it.
