Beyond the Horizon (JELSA)

-Ghost Ship-

The Atlantic Ocean

"There they are," Jack said as he handed Elsa his spyglass. "See those lights in the distance?"

"I know how to spot a ship," Elsa rolled her eyes in annoyance while she placed the spyglass infront of her eye. "We should douse the remaining lights before they spot us." Elsa said, refering to the few lanterns that were still on aboard the ship.

''Why did ye call everybody up at this hour?'' Bunny muttered as he rubbed his eyes while climbing up the steps.

''Just the man I was looking for.'' Jack said as he strutted over to Bunny's side and gave him a pat on the back. ''Now, listen very carefully. I want you to go and instruct each and every crewmember.''

''Go on,'' Bunny sighed theatrically.

''Tell the crew to douse all the lanterns aboard this ship. Not one flicker of light is to be seen and not a whisper is to be heard. Instruct them silently, will you? I want total silence and total darkness. Is that clear?''

''Aye,'' Bunny said and shrugged his shoulders. He didn't bother asking why he needed to do it. He questioned everything Jack did and was tired of finding all the reasons why. He scurried off to inform the crewmembers. Soon the black ship blended in nicely with her pitch black surroundings. Elsa glanced up at the sky, thick black clouds were covering the moon and stars could not be seen in the sky. ''Perfect,'' She mumbled.

With the ship's impressive speed they reached the other ships within thirty minutes. Fortunately, The Ice Queen was at the back of the fleet. The other ships wouldn't be a problem, if their plan succeeded. Elsa hoped Hans had left her crew aboard her ship, if they had to search every vessel it could go sideways very fast. Jack quietly ordered his men to slow the ship down as they were coming up on The Ice Queen. She glided over the surface of the ocean, sneaking closer upon the East Indiaman galleon, finally meeting her match.

''We're almost upon them, Jack.'' Elsa whispered to the captain who was standing beside her on the quarterdeck. Jack nodded and quickly walked down the steps. ''Alright, listen up.'' Jack said in a low voice. ''Stick to the plan, Elsa and Hiccs will swarm over the railing and search for the crewmembers. We will crouch behind the railing and be ready to come to aid if necessary.''

Elsa's heart started to pound wildly inside her chest. She couldn't believe she was just moments away from being reunited with her beloved crew. As The Moon slid closer to her ship, she inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly to manage her excitement.

Jack had pulled out his cutlass and was studying the gleaming tip of it when an urgent thought struck him. His eyes widened and he froze for a second, then he quickly turned towards his first mate.

''Pssst! Bunny!'' He called out in a loud whisper, startling the first mate. ''Wait!''

''What are ye on 'bout?'' He grumbled in a low whisper as he crawled closer to his captain behind the railing.

''When I said arm everyone I didn't mean-''

BANG!

Everyone aboard The Moon threw themselves to the deck, covering their heads with their hands.

''Get that pistol away from Goof!'' Jack ordered as he removed his hands from his head.

BANG! BANG!

Hiccup, who was near the unruly pirate, bravely ran towards him and tackled him. Both men fell to the deck and the pistol went flying across the boards.

The four people on deck of The Ice Queen were all staring at The Moon in utter shock. The ship had appeared mysteriously alongside them, and they hadn't heard or seen even the slightest noise. It was as if a ghost ship had appeared beside them. Elsa saw how two of them were already recovering from their state of shock and reaching for their weapons.
