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: Okay, for this chapter I skipped a bit of it to the part where the Venture enters the giant cloud of fog.
Chapter Two: What Lies Within the Fog
"What is that?" Asked Alex, squinting through the window. "Hayes, turn out the light." She said, and the room was plunged into darkness. Outside, the air of the night became thick as the fog rolled over the ocean and enveloped the Venture.
"Alex?" Wondered Hayes. The young Englehorn raised her hand to silence him.
"Get me a depth reading," she demanded after moments of silence.
Hayes nodded and ran out the door. "We need a reading!" He called. A man ran out onto the deck and through the weight into the water.
"No bottom!" He called back.
Alex took a deep breath and turned the wheel. "Fifteen degrees east," she said calmly.
"What are you doing?" Exclaimed Hayes.
"Getting us out of this fog. Get me another reading,"
Hayes scowled and exited the door again. "Another reading!"
"Twenty-two fathoms!" Came the reply.
"Twenty degrees south," Alex said through gritted teeth.
"Rocks!" Shouted Jimmy from the crow's nest. "Rocks to starboard!"
"Twelve fathoms!" Said Hayes urgently, ducking back in the cabin.
Alex cursed and turned the wheel to her left. What was going on?
"Rocks to port! Rocks everywhere!" Screamed Jimmy. He was right too; rocks kept springing up in the path of the Venture, and soon, Alex would run out of room to turn her.
"Brace yourselves!" She cried just before the ship hit a giant rock. Alex herself didn't have time to grab something that was bolted down, so she was flung across the cabin. Soon, the Venture had lodged itself on the rock. Hayes ran back into the cabin to see his captain partially slouched on the far wall.
"Alex!" He exclaimed, rushing over to her.
Alex looked up as Hayes crouched in front of her.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah," she answered, struggling to her feet. "I think so,"
"You have a cut." Hayes pointed out, motioning to her face. Alex's hand flew up, running over her cheek where her face had met the wall. When she drew it away, there was a little blood on her hand, but not enough to be worried about.
"What about everybody else?" She asked, following Hayes to the door.
"I think we're gonna survive, but we have to wait until high tide to get ourselves off this rock."
Alex looked around; her eyes falling on the peculiar shaped rock that the Venture had crashed into. It almost looked like a giant head.
"Captain!" Came a shout from the crow's nest. Jimmy was coming down as fast as he could from the basket at the top.
"What is it, Jimmy?" Asked Hayes.
"Mr. Denham is going towards the island."
"That's impossible--"
"No, Hayes, look," Alex said, pointing at the small lifeboat that was making its way towards a cavern opening in the side of the cliff.
"Should we go after him?" He asked.
Alex looked at the dark-skinned man next to her. "Knowing Denham, he's bound to do something stupid."
"So, is that a yes?"
K/K/K/K/K/K/K/
By the time that Captain Englehorn and Hayes arrived at the spot where Carl Denham had brought his "crew", they found the natives ready to kill them. Alex took careful aim with her pistol and fired at who looked like the leader. The bullet, and the ones that followed it, all hit their target. It had also started to rain on their arrival to the native's small village.
"Seen enough, Denham?" She asked as Carl stood to his feet. The natives had gone running back into their crude stone buildings.
They got everyone back to the Venture just in time for high tide.
"Anything that's not bolted down goes!" Shouted Alex over the roar of the waves and the pounding of the rain. She returned to the wheel house (if that's what it's called, if it has a different name, tell me, please) and removed her sailor's hat; the excess rain running off onto the floor. She took Hayes' place at the wheel.
There was a grinding sound as the ship pulled away from the head-shaped rock and into the open water again. The men outside cheered, but that cheer was cut short with an objection.
"Stop!" Yelled Jack Driscoll, running up towards her and Hayes. "Stop!"
"What is it?" Alex asked; turning to see the rain drenched man in the doorway.
"They've taken Ann!"
Chapter Two Everybody! Thank you to my reviewer Makori. Makori, I have not played the game... unfortunately. And I might use your suggestions... who knows? I was actually already considering the whole "Hayes lives!" thing because he was cool, and I don't like to see Jimmy cry. But I'm going to make you wait to find out what happens. (laughs evilly) Until next time, my dears!
