Disclaimer: I used to own POTC, but a wildebeest ate my legal papers… Fortunately, I still have the ones that say I own Madeline Toress (my OC)
A/N: This chapter doesn't really have anything to do with the story, other than explaining why Maddie is after Jack. Um, Elizabeth isn't in this story. I'm not a sucker for Elizabeth…
Contest: Want an OC character with Will, but too lazy to write a whole story? Here's your chance. Give me a descriptive PM or review, and your character just might be picked for my story!
Dedication: Jesus—thanks for being my best friend & savior. Also thanks to: Lonaargh for your review—you're the first reviewer! (hands you a cake)
Enough chitchat. Onwards loves!
Sometimes, life seems like a dream. It doesn't seem real, because it's a reality that is something right out of your wildest imaginings.
For Davy Jones, love was like that. Or used to be, anyway. It all started on that fateful night in Tortuga…
"What can I get ya sir?" A beautiful young woman with auburn curls slid her slender arm around the sea captain's neck. A handsome, tanned face turned up to meet the girl's gray-blue eyes, the color of the ever-changing sea he loved so much.
"Just a night, my love," he said quietly, smirking and slipping a few coins into her fingers. Smiling, the woman replied,
"Won't be but a moment then, Captain." With a wink, she sauntered off, gracefully dodging drunken men and other 'ladies of the night', dropped the coins in a pouch, and then gestured towards her companion.
Hooking themselves arm and arm, the captain winked suggestively and ran his hand down her back as they strode down the hall to their room. The brunette girl grinned and spoke.
"I'm Audrey. Audrey Toress. And you must be the famed Captain Davy Jones?" Opening a door, they entered a secured room on the far end of the tavern.
"Aye, Miss. Now…" his voice trailed off as he pinned Audrey to the bed. "Give me a good night…"
It would have all turned out quite well, if life were perfect, that is. But Davy Jones knows all too well—how dreamlike living scenes can slip through your grasp like grains of sand.
"There you are Audrey!" Both people in the room whipped their heads around to stare at the speaker. A tall man with dark dreadlocks and piercing eyes glared at Davy Jones.
"…Grant?" Audrey whispered, sliding out from beneath the captain, re-buttoning her shirt as she stood up. "Grant Sparrow?" she repeated, her tone awed.
"Aye, Audrey," he replied, drawing the girl into his arms. Davy Jones cleared his throat, but both ignored him. Pushing her away a few paces, Grant gazed into her intriguing eyes. "You're bloody beautiful, Toress," he breathed, stroking her cheek with his hand.
"Aye, aren't I?" she flirted, flipping her mahogany curls over her shoulder. "It's been quite a while Sparrow…" she said. Laughing, Grant extended his hand to lead her out of the room. Waving, Audrey called over her shoulder,
"Ye can take yer money back, Jones."
Davy stared after them, rage and bewilderment clouding his judgment. That very day, he decided to take out his heart. He never wanted to have these feelings of betrayal and sadness again…
Madeline tensed up as she thought of the woman whom she'd been named after. Her adoptive father, who was none other than Davy Jones himself, had told her that Audrey was a lying scoundrel, and a dirty bloody whore.
Go figure. Maddie knew her father was still sore from the whole experience.
After all, why else would he send her to take revenge on the son of Audrey and Grant—Jack Sparrow?
Muahahahahah another cliff hanger! I think Will Turner is coming in next chapter. And I know these chapters are short, but I'm trying to update fast.
Now, for a couple requests:
1.) I still need an OC character for Will Turner.
2.) I need a beta reader—badly.
Review, and I'll give you a chocolate covered Jack Sparrow! Or Will Turner… or James Norrington… or whomever fits your fancy.
