More Lies

Third last chapter!

"WHERE IS SHE!" Jack's yelling woke everyone. Will and Elizabeth quickly got dressed and went out to the hall to see Jack, panic in his eyes, Bill and Carolyn all standing there.

"What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked.

"Madison's missing. I've looked all over the bloody place and she's no where to be seen." Jack said. "And…Kennedy doesn't have a bloody clue where she is." The panic now covered his whole face.

"Calm down, Jack." Will said. "I'm sure she just…went for a walk."

"She doesn't like it here. Why would she go for a walk?" Jack asked.

"It was just an idea." Will said.

"Just relax." Elizabeth said. "We'll all look for her." Bill and Carolyn nodded. Carolyn's stomach twisted but she kept her face free from any discomforts.

They walked through the town, asking a few people and looking everywhere. The panic no longer showed in Jack's face but it was in his eyes.

They looked all day. At one point, Carolyn left them but they didn't care.

Madison shook the chains and tried yelling. There was a strip of cloth tied over her mouth. The most noise she could make was shaking the short chains. She shivered and looked around, taking a few deep breaths to stop herself from crying. She didn't like being in chains. She didn't like being tied up. It was never something she liked no matter what.

"You can keep doing that but no one is ever going to hear you until its too late." Norrington said, coming over to where Madison was locked up. "It's already too late." Madison stopped struggling and narrowed her eyes, confused. "Sparrow and them have long since left." Madison's eyes flew wide open. "I doubt if they'll return." Madison struggled even more against the chains, the shackles cutting into her wrists until blood ran down her arms but she didn't care. She wanted to get out.

Norrington left her alone and after a few hours Madison stopped and stared through the window at the setting sun with tears running down her cheeks. Her wrists stunk from the cuts she had caused herself. They couldn't have left. They wouldn't have. Jack wouldn't leave until he had looked everywhere…EVERYWHERE!

Right? He wouldn't have left her…not again. Not now after everything. Would he have? All Madison's old doubts came flying back to her and they made her cry even more. She managed to get the cloth off her mouth but gave up on yelling. Instead she cried, feeling lost and alone like the little girl she was ten years ago in a new place with no one familiar to look out for her.

No one to look out for her at all.

Jack, Will, Elizabeth and Bill all met up at the docks at sunset. They had split up to try and find Madison but none of them had been successful.

"Where the hell is she?" Jack muttered furiously.

"Gone." All four of them spun around to see Norrington approaching them.

"What do you mean?" Elizabeth asked.

"She's gone, no more, never to be seen again." Norrington said.

"You mean to say she's dead?" Bill asked, disbelieving.

"In simple terms…yes." Norrington said. "Very interesting sight. Shot in the chest three times."

"You're lying." Will said.

"Am I?" Norrington asked. "You've searched the town. There's no sign of her. They've probably got her buried already…or burned."

"You lying son of a bitch." Jack said, pulling out his pistol. None of the others made a move to stop him.

"Go ahead…shoot me." Norrington said, stepping closer. Jack cocked the pistol. "You'll never learn if I'm lying if you do." Jack grabbed Norrington before knocking him in the head with the butt of the gun.

"You're not worth it." He said. He looked at the water to see the Pearl docked, Gibbs standing on the ship, looking uncertain. Jack looked at Bill, Will and Elizabeth. "Get aboard, now." They didn't argue. Jack gave Norrington one last look before following them.

"What are we doing?" Elizabeth asked.

"She couldn't have gone far." Jack said. "She would have only just left this morning. We can find her easily." Elizabeth looked at Will with a doubtful expression. She didn't want to voice that a part of her believed Norrington. Will knew though. He could see it in his eyes.

"We will find her." Will said, looking at Elizabeth with determination. "And she will be alive." Elizabeth took a deep breath and closed her eyes before nodding. Will kissed her quickly before helping get ready to set sail.

Ok so it's a short chapter but I want to get things out there.
