Zarya's POV
"F**k!" I exclaimed. The other crew members looked to me wondering what had me on edge and I gave them a shrug before they resumed their tasks. Two nights ago when Jack and I had sex I forgot it had been during my heat cycle. I guess the stress made me get sidetracked.
My inner dragon hadn't sensed the hormone for a pregnancy but still the risk was there.
"You okay love?" Jack asked coming over to me. "What's with the outburst darling?"
"Remember that passionate love making two night ago?"
A big fat smirk came to Jack's lips.
"Aye I do darling"
"I'm being serious here Jack" I told him firmly. "We had sex during my heat cycle"
Immediately Jack's grin faded and his eyes went wide.
"Are you saying your with child love?" he inquired quietly. His tone wasn't angry but of genuine curiosity.
"Right now I don't think so" I replied. "My dragon hasn't scented the hormone for a pregnancy, besides not all water dragon shifters conceive during their heat cycles"
This was a given fact because my brother and myself had been conceived after our mother's cycles.
"If you are with child love you tell me if you find out you are" Jack said. I shot him a questioning look.
"I thought you weren't ready for that" I teased.
"I was drunk when I said that" Jack made up.
"Liar you were sober" I corrected.
"Ye got me on that one love" Jack chuckled before he placed his forehead against mine. "But if there's one thing I won't do is be out of me kid's life"
"Damn straight you won't" I agreed.
Jack pressed a kiss against my forehead before returning to his rounds.
"Everything alright?" Elizabeth asked coming over to the railing where I stood.
"Yeah" I answered. "Sorry about Jack taking those documents earlier from you"
When he did that my mate got a much deserved slap across the face.
"No worries" Elizabeth reassured me.
I smirked and the two of us caught up with one another. I was proud to hear Will had been teaching Elizabeth how to wield a sword properly. Ms. Swan was becoming a fine young woman.
Rune's POV
Sometime during the night Will managed to escape from the Dutchman and he was able to get the key away from the captain. The captain was furious and as punishment Bootstrap would be forced to watch the Kraken destroy the ship ahead that held William on it.
Tyrion whipped the others who began to spin the device that was used to summon the Kraken.
"If that blasted leviathan wasn't under your command sir it would be a good meal"
The captain chuckled at my remark.
"Lass the beast could end world hunger, I'll never understand the appetites of your kind"
He then proceed to call out to the rest of the crew.
"Let no choice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready wake the Kraken!"
"No!" Bootstrap shouted.
The pole that was used to awaken the Kraken went down creating the pulse that made the sea monster rise to the ocean surface. At first everything was quiet and then I saw the shape of the Kraken swimming towards the merchant ship ahead. The Kraken liked to toy with its prey by hitting the ships it targeted hard before attacking. Then the Kraken began to attack.
At seeing it's tentacles I growled feeling my fangs elongate. Davy Jones chuckled at my reaction.
"The beast will no doubt break some parts of its body once the ship is destroyed, you and Tyrion may look afterwards"
The Kraken did tend to leave parts of itself behind and I looked forward to snagging a piece of its delightful meat. The Kraken easily got rid of the crew on the merchant ship and thanks to swinging it's tentacles around one of the masts toppled over. Then the Kraken lifted two more of its large arms out of the water and slammed it onto the ship. The entire thing was split in two and I couldn't watch anymore.
"Search for survivors" Jones ordered me.
I nodded before heading to the railing and jumped overboard. Once I hit the water I shifted to my dragon form and swam around the ruined remains of the merchant ship. In dragon form I was slightly smaller than the Kraken but if I wanted I could have attacked the damn beast. When it saw me the leviathan shrieked in fear before unleashing a cloud of black ink. I dove underneath the ink cloud and it took a few minutes for it to clear.
Alongside my other crew mate's we searched the ruins of the merchant ship thoroughly. We didn't find any survivors. It wasn't long until I returned to the Dutchman.
"The boy wasn't there" I told the captain. "The sea must have claimed him"
"I am the sea" Jones corrected. "Did you find any survivors?"
"No captain" I answered.
"Very well" Jones stated.
"The chest is no longer safe, chart a course to Isla Cruces so I can get there first or there'll be the devil to pay"
"Jack I take it shall be the victim of your wrath?"
"Aye" Jones confirmed.
The Kraken would probably no doubt end world hunger XD. I've eaten squid before and its good XD.
