Chapter 10
The next week was unbearable for me. Jack spoke not even a hello to me. Even if I smiled, he just lowered his head and walked past me.
I hadn't spoke to anyone since that night and I usually spent my days cleaning to deck and helping Bryce prepare the dinners. Johnathon tried to talk to me, but I just ended up ignoring him.
I stood at the starboard side of the ship, looking out at the deep sea when I realized, this was useless. Finding my fathers treasure, trying to make Johnathon see that not everyone was bad, and trying to get over my feelings for Jack.
It was all useless. We were thousands of miles away from the Galapogos Islands. Who knows what was to await us. We could die doing this.. And it would all be my fault.
I sighed heavily just as the last ray of sunlight slipped behind the earth and night fell over the sea. The dinner bell rang but I just looked at Bryce.
He smiled sympathetically and walked back down stairs as the rest of the crew walked down to eat. I hadn't eaten much at all and it was beginning to show.
When I looked at myself in the mirror, I could see my eyes were sunken in a bit and my clothes had started to become bigger.
But, how could I eat when my only friend didn't even acknowledge I was alive anymore. I noticed everyone had already walked down the stairs to the dining room, except for Jack. I brushed my hair away from my face and looked up to see him walking up the stairs.
"Aren' you hungry?" I shook my head and walked up to him, throwing my arms around his neck. "I hate this.."
"So do I, love...but, I can't. You are...only a little girl. Maddy, I'm 28 years ol'. Eleven years older than ya." I shook my head, pushing him as I ran down the stairs to my room.
He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to face him. "How could you say that?" I asked, my eyes filling with tears. My heart felt like it had been dropped into the ocean, where sharks savagely ripped it apart.
I trusted Jack with every oucne of my soul and now he was just going to look at me like every other person. "Maddy, please.."
"NO! Just, leave me alone.." I shoved his chest and saw him fall back, hitting his head on the railing of the stairs. I gasped and immediately ran to his side. "Oh Jack! I'm so sorry." I ran a hand over his hair and kissed his cheek gently.
"It's a'ight...I'm fine." I nodded and helped him up. "Go eat...We'll talk about this later.." I pointed to the deck before I turned and went into my room, shutting the door behind me.
~!~!
As soon as I sat down at my chair at the diner table, I felt uncomfortable. It seems that the whole 'crew', if you could call them that, had grown to dis-like me as much as Johnathon.
I raised my eyebrow to them and waited for the cook to bring out the food. "Where is Miss Madison?" he asked, looking at everyone but me.
"She hasn't been to dinner two nights in a row." He looked around the table and I slowly raised my eyes to see everyone one of them looking at me as if I had prevented her to eat.
"Ask your captain." Bryan snarled at me as the others just looked away. "Wha'? Ya think I ain' lettin' her come to dinner? You're the one who made her feel like shit!" Just as the words escaped my lips, a shout from the deck sent chills from my neck to my ankles.
"PIRATES!!" I looked up from my table and saw Madison run down the stairs and look at us all. It seemed like that word alone froze us in time.
"Didn't you bloody hear me?!! There are pirates coming up on the ship...FAST! They're on the starboard side and I've already ordered Patrick to start loading the cannons just in case." She slammed her hand down on the rail, snapping everyone out of there gaze.
I jumped up and threw my fork on the table, running up after everyone else had left. Madison took a look at me before turning to follow them.
Something inside me never wanted her to look at me like that every again before walking away. I grabbed her by her wrists, pulled her back down so she was pressed tightly to me and I kissed her. It was like nothing I have ever experienced.
Better than the whore's in Tortuga, better than the Black Pearl, better than my freedom. And that was saying alot. For that moment, it was me, her, and nothing else.
Her grasp on my arms was starting to hurt but I still didn't pull away. And when she did, I felt lost. The cold air met our wet lips and she looked up at me.
"If there wasn't pirates coming up on our ship...well, lets just say, that table would be making a nice bed right about now." With that, she turned and bounded up the stairs leaving me with a bulge under my trousers.
I shook my head and stumbled up the stairs, seeing most of the place in an uproar. I wiped my head around and saw indeed a pirate ship coming up fast on the starboard side. I ordered Madison downstairs, gaining a not so amused look from her.
"No." She stated simply as I turned back to the wheel, stopping it so we could put up a fight. "They may only want a peaceful trade..." I looked down at Madison with my eyebrow raised.
Since when did she learn so much about being on a ship, better yet, being on a pirate ship. The ship, who's black sails weren't as large as mine, nor was the whole ship, but it was still large enough to destroy another.
Madison growled deep in her throat as she bounded up to me and pointed at the latter ship, ready to go over and kill the captain.
"YOU!!!" She screamed as the captain took off his hat, bowed low and laughed loudly, as if mocking her. "Seems t' me, boys, tha' we hit tha jackpot on this 'n." He yelled loudly and Madison ducked as a cannon fired, blasting a hole in my ship.
"NOO!!! FIRE!!" I yelled ready to cut the throat of the man who fired that cannon. "I have to get my necklace..." She took a hold of a rope and stood on the rail, ready to swing across. I jerked her back over and shook my head.
"There's about 30 men over there waitin' for a woman. You go o'er there...and ye won' be comin' back." She looked at me, before kicking me back, making my back hit the deck.
"Sorry, Jack. I love you." With that, she swung across to the other ship, leaving me to lay on the floor. "No.." I whispered, jumping up to see Madions jump down onto the deck, fighting with the crew.
At first, I was feeling a bit hopeful. Maybe she'd be back in a little while. But soon, I felt the ship stop fireing. The other one stopped as well.
I didn't even realize we had been fighting until now. I looked at my ship to see only minor damages, as well as the other.
As soon as I looked up, I saw Madison being held with a knife at her throat. "If you wan'a see yer belov'd...Don' think of doin an'thin stupid, Captain Sparrow!" I ran to the rail and shook my head. "Oh God...No.."
AN-GASP!!! What is gonna happen. Actually, I don't even know. This was in a completely opposite direction I was goin in. Oh well, I guess we'll see where it turns out. THANKIES TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED!!!! I LUV YA ALL!!
