Enter the Kraken
See…I told you I'd come up with a name for this chapter. My plan to make things spread out so that there'd be a few chapters without Jack…yeah…it kinda went kaplooey.
Considering how much sleep she didn't get, it surprised everyone that Madison was almost always wide awake. She rarely seemed tired. The discovered something slightly odd about her on the sixth day of sailing, the day after they had docked for nearly two days to grab supplies.
Will was talking to her about Jack and what had happened. Madison seemed caught between interested and bored.
"So…you really don't know what happened to him but it's obvious he got swallowed by…the Kraken?" She asked. She sounded as if she couldn't believe it.
"Yes…the Kraken." Will said. "Legendary sea monster, huge, lots of legs…you know…Davy Jones' little pet?"
"His pet?" Madison asked, slowly becoming mad.
"Yes." Will said.
"HIS pet?" Madison said. Will had seen her glare plenty of times but this glare was three times worse then the others. Her eyes flashed and the ship started rocking as if they were suddenly caught in stormy waters. He heard Elizabeth yelling and looked to see most of them falling over.
As quickly as it began, the shaking stopped. Will looked at Madison but she showed no signs of knowing that anything happened. He stared at her. She turned her head and gave him a sad look. Will was caught by surprise because it somehow reminded him of the look he saw on his father's face before he had to start whipping him.
"I think…Mr. Turner…" Madison said, sadly. "You should be careful about what you say around me." Will slowly walked away from her, keeping his eyes on her for another minute.
"What just happened?" Elizabeth asked. Will looked at her. Bringing up Jack with Madison made Will suddenly remember what Elizabeth had done.
"Turner…what happened?" Gibbs asked.
"I don't know." Will said, looking at the old man. "I was talking with Madison about what happened to Jack…and I said something about the Kraken being Davy Jones' pet and she…she suddenly looked ready to kill."
"There's a lot more to that lass then meets the eye." Gibbs said. "I think we should be wary of her."
"You have my vote on that." Elizabeth said, glancing up at Madison. She was still trying to figure out why the young girl seemed so familiar. She looked at Will, then at Madison, then back again.
"She's a smart one." Barbossa said. Madison had no clue he was next to her so she jumped and looked at him.
"Oh…" She said, looking down at Elizabeth. "Aye. I think she's figuring it out slowly."
"Much faster then I did." Barbossa said. He laughed. "I had you right in front of me, always by him…and I never noticed the similarities. Seven years…and nothing."
"Always said you were an idiot." Madison said. "Be quiet for a while." She looked directly ahead and focused. Barbossa stared at her. His suspicions about her got partially confirmed as he saw her eyes cloud over slightly.
"What do you know, Mr. Turner?" Davy Jones asked. "There's something you've been hiding from us."
"I hide nothing." Bill Turner said, gazing up at the captain.
"Your son…" Davy Jones said.
"Is out of your grasp." Bill Turner said.
"There's another…" Davy Jones said. "Someone else you're trying to keep me from knowing about." He stared into the man's eyes. "A girl."
"Leave her alone." Bill Turner said.
"Now why would you be so protective?" Davy Jones asked. "Unless…"
"I…I do not believe in endangering women." Bill Turner said.
"That's not it." Davy Jones said. He looked away suddenly, staring at the front of the ship. Bill looked as well. Both of them could feel…something.
"Madison…" Bill muttered quietly. Unfortunately, Davy Jones heard him. He threw the man back and advanced on him.
"Who is it?" Davy Jones asked.
"I won't tell you." Bill said. Davy Jones roared in anger before spinning around and leaving Bill alone. "God, Madison. Be careful."
Madison looked about to faint but she caught herself and stood up properly. Her eyes were clear again.
"You're not the only one who took forever to figure out who I am." Madison said, looking over at Barbossa. The ship hit something and stopped.
"Oh no." Will said. It rocked so violently that everyone fell over. "It's back."
"What?" Madison said, getting up slowly.
"The kraken." Will said.
"Oh." Madison said, sounding calm. She jumped the stairs and joined them.
"How are you so calm when this thing ate Jack?" Elizabeth asked.
"I know something you don't know." Madison said in a sing-song tone. Everyone, except Barbossa, stared at her as if she were mad. More and more of Barbossa's suspicions were being answered. The ship shook again making everyone who managed to stand up, fall over again. "Ok…this is annoying." On one side of the ship, tentacles were rising out of the water, as well as the main body of the beast.
"Oh…god." Elizabeth said. Still, Madison seemed calm. She sighed and stood up. Elizabeth wondered about her sanity as the younger girl just brushed herself off. They could see the Kraken's mouth opening up and it roared, spraying them all with some sort of snot.
"STOP!" Madison yelled.
Yes master…(bows to Madison). LOL…Ok so Jack is coming back and then they gotta get the heart and THEN they gotta fulfill Will's promise to Bill. And…(sighs) you get to find out about who Madison is if you haven't figured it out yet.
