I did that on purpose. He was trying to see if Madison knew he was lying. At that time, she didn't. But she will…oh yes…she will.

"Three days." Madison muttered. "I've been on this damned thing three days."

"Could be worse." Bill said, pulling on a rope. "Could be working."

"I'd rather work then stand around doing nothing, dad." Madison said. Davy Jones learned the previous day that Madison was Bill's daughter. The fact that they were always together and he was protecting her and they were similar finally clicked in his mind. Madison, however, was taking more time to try and figure out that what Davy Jones had told her was wrong. She just didn't know what part was false. "Do you know anything about my mom?"

"Not much, why?" Bill asked.

"Just wondering." Madison said.

"Well…she was an interesting woman." Bill said, finishing what he was doing and turning to face her. They started walking. "There was something about her that just…"

"Pulled you in?" Madison asked.

"Aye." Bill said. "She was a whore so, for a while that's what I thought it was. But then I noticed more from her."

"Like what?" Madison asked.

"She was interesting." Bill said. "She could do things."

"With creatures of the water." Madison said. Bill looked at her.

"A…bit." He said. "How did you know?"

"Because I can kinda do the same." Madison said.

"That would explain a lot." Bill said. "There are no doubts then who she's related to."

"Who?" Madison asked.

"Calypso." Bill said. "The woman of the sea. What Jones can do is only a fraction of what she could do. Where are you going?" Madison had turned around and was now quickly making her way down to Davy Jones' cabin. She didn't care how mad he got at her, she just thought about getting the right information.

"What are you doing here?" Davy Jones asked when Madison burst in.

"You lied." Madison said. "Arianna was never her name." Davy Jones looked at her. "So…you wanna try telling me that story again? About Calypso?"

"You're too curious for your own good." Davy Jones said. Madison folded her arms across her chest. "What do you want?"

"I shouldn't feel sorry for you." Madison said. "You force my father to hurt my brother. You make the Kraken kill countless men. And you've kidnapped me." She let her arms drop to her sides. "And because of some story…I feel sorry for you."

"I could always change my mind and make you work." Davy Jones said. "You could get whipped for days on end."

"I'd still feel sorry for you." Madison said, shaking her head slightly. "And if you do that, it'll just make me feel even sorrier because of the fact that you feel like you have to hurt me to prove something."

"You don't know what you're talking about." Davy Jones said.

"I think I do." Madison said. "You may seem like you're big and ruthless and all that…but you're just a sad man hiding behind a mask." Madison turned and left. She went back on the deck and to the front of the ship where she climbed up onto the rail and sat on it. She knew it was a dangerous spot to be but she didn't care.

"What's wrong?" Bill asked, coming up next to her and leaning on the rail.

"I don't know." Madison said. The dull clunking of the peg leg told her that Davy Jones was on deck. She didn't care. She carefully swung her legs and looked down at the water.

"William. I need to talk with you." Jack said. Will looked at him. "Now." Will looked at Elizabeth who shrugged. He then went over to Jack and followed the man into his cabin. "I've given this some thought."

"What?" Will asked.

"And I've come to a conclusion that I don't think you'll like." Jack said.

"Jack…what are you talking about?" Will asked.

"I think I love your sister." Jack said. There was a five second pause before Will hit Jack in the head. "Ok…I deserved that."

"How? Why?" Will asked. "Why Maddie? There are a million other women out there. She's only seventeen…"

"I know." Jack said.

"She's my sister." Will said.

"Who, for a while, you distrusted." Jack said. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have known she was your sister."

"But now I do." Will said.

"That doesn't make much difference." Jack said. Will raised his hand again. "I'm not gonna fight you. I don't know why I love her. But, apparently I do. And apparently we're all blind, except for Barbossa."

"Why?" Will asked.

"He was the one that told me." Jack said. "I said I loved her. I didn't believe it for a while until now. He saw it when Jones showed up. The way I acted." Will watched him. "The way I acted after he took her." Jack looked miserable. "I let him do it."

"Would you save her?" Will asked. Jack looked at him. "Would you trade your soul for hers if you have to?"

"Do you have to ask?" Jack asked.

"Yes." Will said.

"I would." Jack said.

"You better." Will said. He left the cabin.

"What was that about?" Elizabeth asked.

"He says he loves Madison." Will said. Elizabeth looked at him then laughed. When Will didn't join her she stopped and stared at him.

"Are…are you serious?" Elizabeth asked. Will nodded. "Jack…Jack Sparrow? Actually loves someone?"

"It seems like it." Will said.

"Well…what did you do when he told you?" Elizabeth asked.

"I hit him." Will said. "Madison is my sister." Elizabeth nodded. "I can't believe how easily I became a protective older brother."

"You're always protective." Elizabeth said. "The people you like and love are lucky to have you." Will smiled at her.

"Where's the heart?" Jack asked. Will and Elizabeth looked at him.

"What?" Will asked.

"Davy Jones' heart." Jack said.

"It's hidden. Why?" Will asked.

"Because we gotta kill him." Jack said.

"We don't know what will happen if we do that." Will said. "For all we know, the ship could sink or disappear and then Madison will be stuck." Elizabeth, who was now looking over the rail behind them, tugged on Will's sleeve. "What is it?"

"We're being followed." Elizabeth said. Both men looked over the rail.

"It's…" Will said.

"It's the Dauntless." Elizabeth said.

"Oh bugger." Jack said. He looked ahead of them. "Was that there before?" Will and Elizabeth looked to the front of the ship to see the Flying Dutchman. It wasn't close enough to see anything but the back and the sails.

"Great." Will said. "Just bloody great."

Madison ran from the front of the ship all the way to the back, Bill chasing after her in the doing. They leaned on the rail to look at the ship behind them.

"It's Jack and Will." Madison said.

"Who's behind them?" Bill asked. Madison looked. She shaded her eyes.

"It looks like a naval ship." Madison said. "I think."

"Must be. Look at the flag." Bill said. Even from the distance, the blue of the flag stood out better then the rest of the ship did.

"It's like a blue dot floating on water." Madison said. She jumped when she felt something on her shoulder and turned to see Davy Jones there.

"So…Jack Sparrow is catching up." Davy Jones said. Madison yelped as he threw her to someone else. Bill got held away from her. "Let's see if he can escape the Kraken this time."

"No!" Madison and Bill both shouted. They got ignored. Madison looked down to see the crew turning the wheel, a few of them getting whipped. She looked at Bill who looked at her with wide eyes. She didn't want Davy Jones to know what she was capable of, although she was pretty sure he already knew. Something in the middle of the wheel was rising. It suddenly fell and, if it wasn't for the fact that one of the crew had a tight grip on her, Madison was sure she'd have fallen over. She stomped on the crew mate's foot and elbowed it in the gut, making him release her so that she could get back to the rail just on time to see the water ripple.

"Maddie!" Bill said. Madison looked at him. He was giving her a look that clearly said 'help them'. Madison looked at Davy Jones and saw he was looking at her with an expecting look. She looked back at the ship that her friends were on.

"Get away from the side!" Will said, pulling Elizabeth back.

"I know this already." Elizabeth said.

"Got any ideas this time William?" Jack asked.

"Hope that it can hear Madison from here." Will said. "And hope that she'll do something and not worry about Jones."

"That's a good idea." Jack said. The tentacles were rising out of the water but they were going slowly, as if the Kraken wasn't sure of what it was doing.

"Maddie!" Bill said, again.

"I don't…" Madison said.

"You get a choice." Davy Jones said, quietly from right behind her. "Watch your friends die…or save them and prove to me who you are." Madison was, again, on the verge of tears. She put her hands over her face then slid them over her ears. She looked back at the ship. "You must do something…Miss Turner." She could see the tentacles wrapping around the mast.

"I still feel sorry for you." Madison said, looking at Davy Jones out of the corner of her eye. He backed away from her. Madison looked back at the ship. "STOP!"

Everything froze. The crew on the Dutchmen all looked at Madison. Bill and Davy Jones stared at her. The Kraken, with its tentacles still wrapped around things, stopped moving. Madison was pretty sure the people on the other two ships had stopped moving as well. She looked at Davy Jones.

"Are you happy now?" Madison asked, anger in her eyes. Davy Jones just smiled slightly. She turned her attention back to the Kraken. "GET BACK IN THE WATER!" Slightly faster then it rose, the Kraken retreated to the water.

"Well done, Miss Turner." Davy Jones said. Madison refused to look at him. "Come with me."

"No." Madison said.

"You either come with me…or risk drowning." Davy Jones said. Madison looked at Bill.

"He's going to take us underwater." Bill said. Madison rolled her eyes.

"Fine." She said. She knew where Davy Jones was going to take her so she just went by herself. Once the sound of a slamming door reached them, Davy Jones ordered the ship underwater.

"No!" Jack yelled, watching the Flying Dutchman dive under the water. Will banged his fist onto the railing.

"He's doing this on purpose." He said.

"Really? I never noticed." Jack said, sarcastically. "He doesn't want to trade my soul for Maddie's. He wants the bloody heart."

"What are we going to do about them?" Elizabeth asked, looking back at the Dauntless.

"For now…nothing." Jack said. He flipped over the compass. The arrow spun around and then pointed. "Barbossa. Steer to starboard. He's trying to throw us off."

"Aye." Barbossa said.

Aboard the Dauntless, Norrington put the spy glass away. His eyes were slightly wide with fear. From the distance, he still heard the voice of a woman shouting 'stop'. He heard all that was yelled at the Kraken and that surprised him.

"I think we're in for a bigger surprise then was imagined." Norrington said.

Madison sat, quiet and alone, on the bench in front of the organ. Silent tears were running down her cheeks and she did nothing to stop them. She turned slightly and looked at the music box before slowly reaching out and opening it. The music made her feel slightly better. She didn't know what Davy Jones was going to do with her now but she wasn't going to deny that she was scared to find out. She was angry at him for forcing her to show who she was. She was scared that he was going to do much more to her.

She still felt sorry for him.

Ok…I might not be able to update a whole lot due to the fact that I got in trouble and am grounded from the computer for a week. Sorry to disappoint people.
