I hope everyone is enjoying this story so far, because I'm enjoying writing it. I felt the need to add a page of my own thoughts about my story, mainly because it seems as though there are some things which I need to make clear. To begin with, I know it might seem like Davy is being completely out of character by helping a random stranger, but if you think about it he's really not. The way I see it, is that Davy has not been around anyone female for a very long time and I believe that, deep down, there is a gentleman hidden underneath all that slime (I know this might be hard to believe, but I like to try and find the good in bad guys, so bear with me).
Then there is the fact that Evelyn and Michaela are not afraid of Davy much like everyone else is. This is mainly because, like in Will's case, some people just haven't heard of Davy Jones or they know very little about him. That is how it is with Evelyn. She's never heard of Jones before, so even though the sight of him is rather disgusting, she's not afraid merely because of her lack of knowledge in that area. With Michaela it is quite different. She has heard of Davy Jones, and also knows quite a bit about him. Since she is a child, however, she still sees things in a rather simple way. She is, of course, obviously more intelligent than other children her age, but she still has that annoying trait of getting angry before scared that many children seem to possess.
So Davy's hidden gentlemanly nature combined with Evelyn and Michaela's apparent lack of fear helps to explain why he would be willing to help them. In my mind, I believe he would respect someone a little bit more if they weren't afraid of him. I believe he has no patience for weak people, and since it would obviously take a strong and brave person to not be afraid, he would be more willing to help them than someone who'd cower in fear.
If anyone has any other questions that don't entail revealing something for a later chapter, feel free to ask. Also, if anyone has any tips I'd be more than happy to hear them. Thanks!!
p.s. I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed my story so far; if I didn't personally thank you I didn't mean to forget.
Smiles!! : )
