"LET'S GO! LET'S GO! LET'S GO!" Lily and Jaden both shouted, ushering their crew onto the ship while Andrew, Roselyn, Tara and Jarrett all ran around setting things up. It was still raining hard and everyone was soaked. The crew undoubtedly thought their captain was insane for wanting to sail through a storm but then came aboard anyways.
"Oh god, please no." Lily muttered. "Oh god, please no…please no…please no."
"It's ok Lil." Jaden said, trying to reassure both of them. "It's probably just….false alarm or something." Lily looked at him and punched him before going up and steering them away from the docks. Carolyn stood near her. After Lily's pain attack, she had felt something also and had joined her grandchildren in running to the docks.
"We're never gonna get there on time." Lily said. Jaden came up next to them.
"Everything will be fine." Carolyn said. "You're mother has survived worse."
"She's not immortal gramma!" Lily said.
"Come on…" Jaden muttered, looking at the sails. "God…the one day we could use the wind and…"
"Shut up." Lily said.
"Be careful, Jaden." Carolyn said, casting a wary eye at her granddaughter. She looked down to where Roselyn, Tara, Andrew and Jarrett all were. Andrew was standing on the other side of the girls from Jarrett. None of them were talking. With a sudden but small scream, Lily fell to her knees, arms wrapped around her stomach and bent over as if she would throw up any second. Jaden instantly grabbed the wheel while Carolyn kneeled by Lily. All three of them felt it, Lily feeling it more. Jaden tasted blood in his mouth as he bit his lower lip to stop from reacting the same way his sister did.
"Hey…what's going on? What's wrong?" Andrew asked, running up with the other three in toe.
"We have to get there NOW!" Lily said, pulling herself up.
"How?" Roselyn asked.
"Lily, can't you do something?" Jaden asked.
"Like what?" Lily asked, glancing at Jarrett…the only person on the whole ship that had no idea as to what she was capable of.
"Like…I don't know!" Jaden said. "Just something? Do something!"
"Fine! Want me to do something? I'll do something." Lily said.
For a moment, everything seemed to go in slow motion before it all picked up again. Everyone stared at Lily who was suddenly doing something her mother had only done once…she started to glow with all of the Calypso power coursing through her. Her hair was whipping around as a sudden, powerful wind picked up and pushed them forward as the waves grew higher and tossed them farther and farther ahead, closer to Port Royal.
"Everyone, secure yourself to something quick!!" Andrew yelled.
"What is she doing?" Jarrett asked.
"Long story short…great-great-great-great granddaughter of Calypso!" Andrew said. "I think there might be another great in there somewhere."
"Bloody hell." Jarrett said. Everyone but Lily and Jaden wound up having to secure themselves. Jaden had his hand on his sister's shoulder. Lily would have wound up unconscious before they got to Port Royal if it wasn't for Jaden at that moment.
Port Royal
"Leave me alone, Jack." Madison said, heading back outside and away from their house.
"Luv, it's pouring!" Jack said, following her. "I know you're all powerful but you can still get sick."
"I won't." Madison said. She had no idea why she was doing this. She was heading straight to the end. Shouldn't she be going in the other direction? Away from it? Madison didn't know the answers to any of her inner questions but she knew that there was no real point running if she knew it was going to catch up to her anyways.
"Jack!" Elizabeth yelled. "Madison!" She and Will, along with Tomas and Isabelle, came running up. "What's going on?"
"I dunno." Jack said.
"Will you all just leave me alone?" Madison asked. And why didn't she want them there? She looked at Jack. "If Lily and Jaden get hurt…it's your fault."
"Wait…what?" Jack asked. Madison continued walking. The others all followed her to the docks. There she stopped, standing in the sand of the beach. Everyone tried to talk to her at one point but she ignored them all, giving Tomas and Isabelle warm smiles whenever they tried.
On the Sea
"We're almost there!" Andrew yelled at his cousins. They didn't say anything, both of them staring blankly ahead. A huge wave came up in front of them and there was a bunch of screaming from the crew before the ship went flying up it and hovered in the air for a while before beginning its fall back to the water. Something stopped them and dropped them into the water at a point where the ship wouldn't get destroyed.
"Oh my god." Roselyn said. Andrew put his arm around her shoulders. She looked like she was going to be sick. All onboard were soaked and most couldn't see due to the sea salt. The main group (Lily, Jaden, Andrew, Tara, Roselyn, Jarrett and Carolyn) all seemed somewhat fine. They could see but everyone but the twins kept their eyes squinted shut. Lily's long dark hair was completely tangled as it continued to whip around her head.
"Lily, Jaden!" Andrew yelled. The twins paid no attention. Andrew knew if they didn't slow down soon they'd make quite the entrance. A ten minute sail surely wouldn't do much harm…considering they'd taken a near week's sail and turned it into a fifty minute wave bouncing, wind surfing escapade!
As one, the twins dropped down and the weather calmed down soon after. It was still raining but not as heavily as before. Everyone watched Lily and Jaden lie, motionless, for a few moments before they simultaneously took deep breaths and started coughing. Andrew and Carolyn were the first to get themselves untied and over to their family members. Andrew propped Lily's head on his lap as he knelt behind her while Carolyn helped Jaden sit up.
"That was…" Andrew started.
"Incredible!" Tara said. Everyone, except Lily who couldn't really, looked at her. "Umm…I mean…ok I really meant that it was incredible and thrilling and…wow."
"Yeah…someone's gotta steer now." Lily said, looking up at the wheel. One of the crew took over and Roselyn and Tara helped Jaden bring Lily into her room and then they helped their friend change into warm, dry clothes before going into their own cabin to do the same.
Port Royal
"Aunt Maddie…why are we standing here getting wet?" Isabelle asked, tugging on the bottom of Madison's pants. Madison looked down at her before kneeling next to her niece and pushing the young girl's hair out of her face.
"Because…" She started, trying to figure out what to say. "Your Aunt Maddie has something to do."
"Maddie…" Jack said. Madison didn't look at him. She couldn't. There was just no way she could look at him and not start crying. She knew he would do whatever possible to keep her safe but this wasn't one of those times that it was going to work…
Ok I know this chapter is short but I can't do it!! I wanna hold off doing what I'm going to do for as long as possible so expect it to be a while before the next chapter shows up because it'll probably take me about a week to get myself under control enough to do it.
I know you people don't want me to do it but to keep this story going the way I have it planned then it has to be done. BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT!!!!! I have no clue who Madison should be waiting for. I'm thinking Norrington or Beckett. I kinda don't want it to be Norrington because he's not due to arrive for a while and I have him planned into the story later on but I can't think of anyone else from Madison's past that I've put into the other stories apart from Barbossa but he's dead so….
HELP!!!!!!!
