INSIDE THE KRAKEN

(WHERE WILL YOU GO)

He had a fleeting feeling that he must run and run he did. Through a ran down town he stumbled on. He needed to hide. Quickly he examined his options and making his decision he flung himself at the door of one in particular building. Finding it unlocked he busted through it, slamming it shut behind him.

Something fell to the floor and shattered, causing him to jump and reach for his absent sword. The room before him was merely lit by lanterns which in itself didn't give off much light from a thick layer of grime that disabled it to shine brightly enough. The room itself looked exceedingly much dirtier from the lack of light and the clutter ness of junk.

Twitching slightly, he approached the room in caution. Trunks piled into one corner revealing inside itself dull gold and values. He sprinted to the truck, diving his hands in the riches and though he smiled he felt oddly dissatisfied. He frowned at this realization.

"Mr. Jack Sparrow…" A hollow voice echoed into the room, breathing each word in a different breath. Jack, surprised, released the gold and turned toward the voice. Once again reaching for the absent sword that would have been at his side, then cursed at his forgetfulness.

"Captain." He corrected in habit, finding a desk across the room and a figure occupying the chair behind it. He noticed it was a woman's voice when the figure spoke again.

"Captain." She repeated. "Ah, yes, The Black Pear. But tell me Captain Are you still so with but a ship?"

With her words he had suddenly been washed with memories. His deal with Davy Jones, setting up Will, the Kraken…and the kiss that in the end had sealed his fate. His faced turned blank a moment then turned to one of confusion.

"No, Captain, you resent adventure was not a dream. In fact it was all quite true. Every second and every feeling…"

Jack looked toward the figure with the female voice and stepped closer. "But, I'm supposed to be dead then." He blurted out confused and angry.

She laughed, it was hallow as her voice was. She leaned toward the table, resting her elbows on the rotten wood, her face revealed into the dingy light.

In spite himself he gasped at her beauty. Her face was as pale and pure as fallen snow and piercing blue eyes sung into his own. Brilliant red hair cascaded down the frame of her slender face, giving off an eerie look to herself.

"Honestly, you believe that that a Kraken, the mother of all beasts kills all like the rest. Impale the body and swallow it in the depths of it own being. And that be that? Certainly not!" Jack jumped at the sudden outburst. Though when she did not continue to speak and only stared at him he found he needed to break the frozen silence.

"Where am I then, luv?" He asked getting back to his nature with a seductive voice and smirk. But when her face darkened in disgust he thought it was not a good idea to mess with this girl quite yet. To his luck, She decided to pass it by and continued to stare at him a moment longer before she answered.

"The kraken it much different in its means to kill. Its saliva is poison ness in a way that others can not compare. In which, if you remember, were completely covered with. Now, understand, you did not notice any poison for it does not react until you are within an inch of death, and then you are sent into a place inside yourself and witness…your soul. Come to find, the truth, what they see, kills them…" She finished, standing up from the chair and walked around the desk to Jack.

He gazed around stunned and disgusted with himself, and then turned to the dazzling woman in front of him. "So- this place…" He began.

"Here you lay within your soul Jack Sparrow. Filthy and tainted, your sins have darkened your thoughts as though you could never turn back from a destructive path." She placed her hand over his heart, which was now beating fast with all the words she spoke whizzing around his dazed mind. "Though, you are still a good person." She began to whisper again, laying her head to his chest and listening. "Yes, I can hear it, buried deep within you…"

Fear rose inside Jack at her touch and jumped back. "Who are you woman?"

She laughed again. "Tell me, has Captain Jack Sparrow truly ever been scared before. No, that must be why you fear. The truth is something most people rather not face I guess. Though you do not need to fear it, it only kills those who are weak, and you are not weak. It is not your time!" She reached for him and when he didn't back up she took his hand. "I am what you've forgotten….You fear me because I know what you have never spoken aloud…" A strange feeling he had never felt before welled up inside him when her voiced turned thick with emotion.

Silence followed. Jacks hand still in hers. And in the pit of the silence she leaned into Jack once again to where her lips reached his ears and began to whisper. Her words touched Jack in a way he had never been touched. He felt the most vulnerable he had ever felt and yet he knew he couldn't run away anymore and that he didn't want to. His arms slowly wrapped around her waist, feeling that at any moment she may disappear and leave him. He didn't want that, to be alone. He felt so sorry for her, as if she was stuck here waiting for him forever and that it was entirely his fault. And he wanted the truth pouring from her lips…wanted her to never leave him. And he knew that she would never leave him though, bizarre the thought may be, he knew.

"You're too important for anyone; you play the role of all you want to be. But I know who you really are, you're the one whose cries when you're all alone.

But where will you go when there's no one left to save you from yourself. You can't escape, you can't escape…

You think that I can't see right through your eyes, scared to death to face reality. No ones seems to hear your hidden cries; you're left to face yourself alone.

I realize you're afraid, but you can't abandon everyone. You can't escape, you don't want to escape.

I'm so sick of speaking words that no ones understands. Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone? I can hear you in a whisper, but you can't even hear me screaming.

I realize you're afraid but you can't reject the whole world. You can't escape, you won't escape. You can't escape, you don't want to escape."

Jack didn't know what to say so he remained quiet and still, trying to cope with this new feeling the woman in his arms had given him. He loved this girl, but in no way he ever believed that love could existed.

"You will find yourself once again Jack Sparrow." She spoke still in a whisper. "They are coming to find you, and there for you are not forgotten….but you must never forget the good in you…don't forget me."
