Twisted
Disclaimer: I do not own Kong, or any of the characters. Plain and Simple.
Quick Summary: My version of the newest movie with a couple twists.
Author's Note: This idea came to me in a dream, so if it turns sour, please don't hurt me. I took out the beginning, up until Carl takes Ann to the Venture. I hope you my readers aren't too mad! I couldn't find anyway to make it better, even though I watched it over and over! Hopefully all ya'll have seen the beginning... and know who all the characters are, because I'm not explaining it!
Chapter One: Alex Englehorn.
Carl Denham led Ann Darrow to docks where their ship was waiting. "Is this the boat that's taking us?" She asked, motioning to a giant ship to their left.
"Um, no," Carl said with an uncertain look on his face. "This is it," he walked faster towards an old cargo boat that was weathered with age. He approached a young woman who stood by the boat talking to a man.
"Englehorn?" He asked hurriedly.
The woman turned to face Denham. Her youthful features were shadowed by an old sailor's hat that drooped over her face because of its size. Inquisitive brown eyes peered at them like at cat would its prey. "What is it, Carl?" She sighed; her voice had a disdainful tone to it, as if she had heard Denham's voice one to many times.
"We need to leave,"
The young woman looked at the ship, then back at Denham. "Now?"
"Yes, now," Carl hissed.
"I'm afraid that's not possible,"
"Why not?"
"We don't have permission to shove off until tomorrow."
"I'll give you another grand if we go tonight."
"Show me the money, Denham, and I'll consider it."
"Can I write you a check?"
"Carl--"
"Please, Alex, I beg you on my knees."
"Fine,"
"But can we talk about this later? We have an important guest with us." Carl turned and revealed the blonde-haired Ann to the woman.
Alex Englehorn smiled and walked up to her. "It's nice to meet you Miss...?"
"Ann Darrow,"
"Miss Ann Darrow, I am Captain Alexandra Englehorn, but you can call me Alex."
Carl waved a bit to get Preston's attention. "Preston, would you like to show Miss Darrow to her quarters?"
Preston ran over and grabbed the little bag that Ann had been carrying. "Yes, Mr. Denham,"
Alex watched as Preston led Ann up the ramp onto the boat, followed closely by Carl. She shook her head and spat; that man was such a liar that it wasn't even funny. "Okay, we're taking off!" She commanded. "Untie the ropes! Start the engines!" With one last look, she boarded the boat and made her way to the bow of the Venture.
"Captain!" Shouted Mr. Hayes, her right hand man.
"Yes?"
"What's happening?"
"We're taking off,"
"Why?"
Alex looked at Hayes with a look that said isn't it obvious?
"Oh, right,"
"Let's get this show on the road, shall we?" She asked as Hayes adjusted the speed. The steady pulsing of the engine pumps sped up as the pulled away from the dock and started out of the harbor.

Below deck, the famous playwright Jack Driscoll was struggling to get off of the Venture. He finally found the steps that lead to the deck and ran as fast as he could, but he was too late. Jack almost jumped, but looked down and saw how far he was from the shimmering water of the harbor and decided not to.
"I told you, Jack, there's no money in theater." Carl taunted from behind him.
"But I love it," Jack countered.
"If you had really loved it, you would have jumped."
There's chapter one... I know it was boring, but it's gonna get better. Once we get to Skull Island, this storyline isn't going to follow the movie anymore. I needed something to start on, so tell me what you think about it. It was short compared to what I usually write, so you can also expect the chapters to get longer. Reviews are tasty treats for me! All opinions are welcome.
