In a moment, it was gone

Second chance

His fingers were Freezing, (is it weird that's the first thing he noticed?)

After years of cuts and burns he basically lost all feeling in his hands all together, so maybe the numbness throughout his hands just surprised him?
( Ya maybe that's it.)

Cold is climbing up his limbs, (heh, weird.)

This twist of fate. (Fate is a cruel thing) his life hasn't been eventful but it was fulfilling.

(What a beautiful day to die) He saw that the stars started to disappear with the morning Dawn.

(The pain shot through him suddenly) He hissed, and bit his tongue. He noticed someone pressing against the wound in his gut. The shock was good he should have died then. (No pain)

The cold Numbness was soothing in a way. (Felt like the sea; felt like Freedom)

He opened his eyes again looking at the frantic face of his best friend a doctor. (He's a doctor he'll know what to do, won't he?)

Hey, HEY YOU GOT TO STAY AWAKE, OKAY. ( There he goes bossing me around again)

A small smile touched his lips, (oh he was loved;) the screaming doctor only solidified that as a fact in his head.

He wants to hold on but He wants that feeling.( The one of the sea, the one of Freedom)

The Desperation in his closest friends voice is almost enough to rethink it, to keep fighting. (Just this once Let him be selfish)

"THATCH DON'T GO TO SLEEP! DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES!" ( I'm sorry Marco, I should have kept my guard up;)

-Then Everything went black-

He woke up, ( Woke up?) taking a look around him,  the strawberry blonde man was confused;

"What the hell!?" Thatch whisper yelled to himself,
(It was like time went back, just a few days,)

"Commander Thatch" one of the forth Devision yelled to him; that broke him out of his trance.

"Commander we found a room full of treasure." He said excitedly. Then Thatch got a sense of déjà vu mixed with nausea ( That Devilfruit)

As the little group of the 4th division entered the room they all started going through the treasure but the Commander knew exactly where that fruit was.

"What do I do with it?" Thatch muttered to himself
( I can't bring it back to the Moby,now that I know Teach is willing to kill for it)

After moving around some chests of treasure placing them neatly as he normally would. trying to be as nonchalant as possible. ( if this is real and not just some screwed Dream I need to be able to act like nothing is wrong. I can do that can't I?)
After placing the third chest of gold in my pile I see it

(that box the box that holds the fate of my life in it)

"What am I going to do with it? Eat it? Do I even want to know what kind of power it is?" The Division Commander muttered to himself under his breath
"What kind of power someone is willing to kill for?" He asked himself "What kind of power would someone betray the only family they've ever known for?" Suddenly the ginger haired man felt uneasy

"No. I can't eat it."

"But bringing back to the Moby isn't going to work either. Should I just throw it into the sea?" Thatch contemplated to himself; (And what? do I just pray Teach never gets his murderous hands on it?)

(But then what? I just go on with life and Pretend Teach didn't MURDER ME!?) the commander felt himself seething with rage

"Commander? What you got there? Are you okay?" One of his ship brothers asked breaking him from his trance
"Is that a Devilfruit?" They asked is excitement

The commander jumped a little. "huh? Wha, ya? It is."

"That's awesome Commander Thatch, what are you going to do with it. Eat it? Sell it?" They asked enthusiastically

He uncomfortably forced out a (laugh?); "Heh, i don't know yet."
"Maybe I'll give it to Stefan he tried to joke."
His ship brothers laughed so it worked I guess.

(What am I going to do?) Thatch asked himself
