Make Norrington a good guy? Yeah right…lol. I dunno. I might. As for making Barbossa a good guy…I think I made his good streak go poof by now. Well we'll just have to wait and see…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Madison sat with Elizabeth. Weather had turned bad and now it was raining. Not a lot but enough to soak them all within minutes. The girls sat, watching Will and Jack as they tried fixing the sails. Neither guy had a top on so Madison and Elizabeth were just sitting and staring at the marks covering the Will and Jack's backs. Madison had seen it all already. Jack's back was worse then Will's, even with the power from Calypso that healed it.

"Why would Jack be worse then Will?" Elizabeth asked.

"Probably because dad whipped Will and he was doing it mercifully." Madison said. "Jack got it from one of the other crew who pride themselves in tearing flesh from bone." Elizabeth shivered. "I don't even think it's possible for him to be alive right now if it weren't for Calypso. I don't even know how she did it but I know she did something."

"It's one of those mysteries we'll never solve." Elizabeth said. "I don't know if I'll ever get used to it. The way it feels."

"Eventually you will." Madison said.

"Can't you do anything?" Elizabeth asked.

"I don't know how to do that kind of stuff...if I can at all." Madison said. She pushed her wet hair out of her face. She tore her eyes away from Jack's scarred torso to look at her father who was standing near the helm. A rope was attached to it so that he didn't really have to steer. His attention was on the man standing at the front of the ship, his back to all of them, his hands behind his back, and the annoying, immortal monkey on his shoulder.

Barbossa.

Madison shivered as she too looked at him. It was as if he had rapidly changed overnight…as if he had become the man she feared so much when she was younger. Madison shivered again and whimpered slightly, making Elizabeth look at her.

"Are you alright?" She asked.

"Yeah." Madison said. "Just a little…not good." A victory cry brought her attention back to Will and Jack as Jack threw his hands in the air, smiling. Will was laughing slightly and they were both looking up at the sail which was finally rolled up and out of danger. Madison's face broke into a smile at the sight.

"Those men could be happy about the smallest things." Elizabeth said, smiling.

"Aye, but they are happy." Madison said. "A wonderful sight to see." She looked off to the side where the island that housed Puerto Rico was starting to come into view. Her eyes fell on her own body where her clothes had gotten so wet that they clung to every part of her body, looking like a second skin. It would certainly draw unwanted attention from men on land. The majority of the crew didn't dare to think of doing anything to Madison, seeing as how most of them saw her little power display back with Davy Jones.

Something inside Madison fell at the thought. She really didn't want to kill him, but what other option did she have? It was either do that, or get dragged away and never see anyone again. She also wasn't really in control of her body then.

I guess Calypso had a couple years of anger built up in her. Madison thought. She ran her hand through her hair and stopped it on the back of her neck. Elizabeth left her side and joined Will and Jack. Madison watched them. She didn't see much interaction between Jack and Elizabeth but the tension that had originally been between them was slowly vanishing. That kiss must have been good if it had them acting that way. She looked back behind the ship. She felt sort of jealous because of the fact that, even though she was only three years younger, it was as though Elizabeth had a lot more experience with certain things. Jack had told Madison about the kiss and she could tell that he enjoyed it. She frowned as she tried thinking about what she was going to do.

"What's on your mind darling?" Jack's voice broke through Madison's thoughts and she jumped. She looked up to see him standing over her, bent over slightly with his hands on his thighs for balance. His soaking hair dangling over his shoulders and dripping onto her legs. She was reminded of being a kid with the way he was looking down at her. Madison got to her feet in order to lose the image.

"Nothing much." She said, brushing at her clothes for no reason and only resulting in getting the palms of her hands wet.

"Then how come I don't believe you?" Jack asked, raising an eyebrow as he straightened.

"Jack, leave her be." Bill said. Jack looked at Bill who had taken his eyes off Barbossa and was now looking at them. It was still weird seeing him looking like himself instead of the Davy Jones crew look. Madison had gotten used to it when she had stayed on the Flying Dutchman. Now she had to get used to this look all over again. He looked older then she last saw him, not by much, but he did.

"Why should I?" Jack asked.

"Because I could always find a way to torture you." Madison said. Jack looked at her. Over his shoulder, Bill had an amused look on his face.

"You can't hide all the rum this time!" Jack said, slightly worried. Madison smirked. Somehow she had managed to hide all but about six bottle of rum when she was younger. The rest of the crew got it but Jack didn't and within a day he was panicking as if someone was about to die and he knew how to help them but couldn't quite remember.

"That used to work…but now I got a better way of doing it." Madison said. She leaned closer to Jack and stopped right before her lips touched Jack's. His eyes crossed slightly as he tried looking down at her, his eyelids lowering a bit as well. Madison smiled evilly and her tongue out to lick her lips, touching Jack's as well. He groaned and started moving forward but Madison leaned back. Jack stared down at her as Madison's smile grew and she stepped back before turning around and sashaying away.

"You expected something different from her?" Bill asked.

"Yes." Jack said, after a second. He sighed. "No. Not really."

As the rain died down enough for them to put the sails back out in order to reach land before morning, Jack had taken to leaning on the wheel, looking at his ship fondly as well as the young woman who stood a few paces from him. She was sitting on a low square crate with one arm resting on the railing and staring at the water. She was humming, softly and barely audible but after a while she started singing.

In a world so far away
At the end of a closing day
A little child was born and raised
Deep in the forest on a hidden place
Mother never saw his face

Jack's eyes turned to Madison as she sang. The song sounded familiar. He couldn't remember why though. He listened as she sang more.

Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
In perfect harmony

Now he remembered it. Madison had sung this song, just once when she was younger. She only got to the elves part before Jack cut her off by making some smart ass remark.

The woods protected, fulfilled his needs

Fruit by birds, honey by bees

He found shelter under trees
He grew up in their company
They became his family

Madison's eyes slowly moved from the water to look at Jack. He thought for sure she would stop singing but she just kept going, her eyes locked on his.

Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
In perfect harmony x2

A thousand seasons
They passed him by
So many times, have said goodbye
And when the spirits called out his name
To join forever, forever to stay
A forest spirit he became

Jack slipped the rope onto the wheel and walked over to Madison. She smiled softly.

Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
In perfect harmony x2

In perfect harmony

Madison turned her eyes back to the water and hummed a bit. Jack stood by her and listened. Her voice got softer and he was about to open his mouth to talk before she started singing again.

Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
In perfect harmony x2

In perfect harmony

"You've sung that before." Jack said.

"Yeah." Madison said, not looking at him. They were both silent for a while before Madison's eyes snapped to Jack, slightly wide. "That's why it was familiar!"

"What?" Jack asked.

"Davy Jones' music box!" Madison said. "The sound was so familiar but I wasn't sure why."

(A/N: The songs are actually not the same. I tried finding the tune for the music box so that I could think up words for it, but I had no luck. So I just used a song called Perfect Harmony by Within Temptation.)

"How do you know that song?" Jack asked.

"My…mom sang it…I think." Madison said.

"I hate to break it to ya, luv, but you've been with your father since you were about seven months." Jack said.

"I know." Madison said. She frowned. "Maybe it's just something I got from Calypso." She shrugged dismissively and looked back at the water.

There wasn't much else spoken between them that night. Madison spent some time with Will and hummed part of the song to him and he too recognized it and told her about it playing while he was trying to get the key. He told her of his plans of having a real wedding with Elizabeth somehow, with her father there. Madison smiled when he mentioned that he might want Jack as his best man…MIGHT. That was the key word but it was a good thing.

She also spent some time resting, not sleeping, in Jack's cabin which was quickly becoming hers as well. She would lie on the bed and look at the ceiling, tracing the lines with her eyes and watching the shadows from the candle playing on the walls. Sometime after midnight, Jack came into the room. He stopped when he saw Madison's head turn in his direction.

"Thought you were asleep." Jack said.

"Really?" Madison asked.

"Well you are sleeping a lot now." Jack said.

"Umm…only with you around." Madison said. Jack smirked and removed his clothes before climbing into the bed next to an equally naked Madison. "You bore me so much I fall asleep."

"Really now?" Jack said, after a moment. "Should I prove you wrong?" Madison giggled as Jack moved on top of her. "Let's just see how boring you think I am, luv."

Man I am evil aren't I. Ok so the title is sort of misleading but I didn't feel like making them dock yet. I'm bringing someone into this story that's from Madison's past…a female someone.
