In the ship in the middle of the sea the breeze was chilly not only because if was nearing sunset well, part of it was but also because of the tense tension between the crew members.They had lost one of their own searching for the creature and yet they had lost them. if their team member did not die maybe they would have turned back and forgot about the creature.But that was not an option right now, turning back was not an on the cards. They had to see this through, not for themselves but they felt they owed it to their friend to see it through so that it doesn’t feel like he died for nothing.While they were slowly cruising through the quiet waves in the sear suddenly Austin saw dolphins, three of them swimming close to the ship. A smile formed on his thin lips.I thought that even in the darkest of moments, there would always be a ray of sunshine. At that moment he was about to say something to motivate the others when the hacker called to everyone. “Dolphins and they are not alon
When Austin fainted, his buddied rushed to his side, the hacker, victor. Was the first to kneel beside him. He kept slapping him on the cheeks trying to wake him up. They had not seen what Austin and the captain have seen.They were busy with the nets and did not know what caused him to faint. “Austin, come on man, wake up.” Victor kept slapping, shouting, and shaking the man to wake up.Tired of being gentle, victor landed a huge slap on Austin’s face and that did the trick. Austin woke up instantly holding his burning cheek. “Aw! What was that for?” he asked glaring at Victor.“What did you expect me to do? I have been gentle, calling you and shaking you. Nothing worked and that got me nervous and I slapped you. What made you faint anyway? Is it hunger?”Victor did not only explain his reason for slapping but also questioned him. Austin recalled what he saw before he fainted. He quickly stood up and went to look
Austin was so shocked that he started shaking. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, it was chilly out but Austin did not feel the cold at that moment. He did not even have a chance to lift his gun when his men started falling like flies in front of him.These creatures were ruthless, standing alone in the middle of the ship surrounded by blood thirsty creatures and his men’s bodies Austin felt like he disappearing and be back home or his resort.This was not what he signed up for, all he wanted was money, he did not think it will all end this way. “Nazima, please, spare me for the sake of my friendship with Zane. I was wrong, I made a mistake.” Austin felt that he had no choice but to plead for his life.“Zane was never your friend, how can he be friends with someone who only sees him as a walking bank? The moment you knew about out kind all you thought about was how much money you can make.” Nazima was angry.She felt noth
The wind whistled as it picked up, a chill ran down the sailor’s body as he tightened his thick jacket around him trying to keep the cold at bay. He had a disappointed look on his face as he did not catch anything this day.The man left home in the wee hours of the morning hoping to catch something. As they say, the early bird catches the warm but that was not the case for this man, he woke up for nothing.He wondered what they were going to have for dinner in the next few days if things continue this way. The fish he catches, he sells to support his family and stock was running low as they eat from it as well when he doesn’t make sales.Fog was picking up and getting thicker by the minute. The man wanted to get home quickly before things turn bad for him. And so, he steered the boat away trying to get to the harbour early.The man was so lost in his thoughts that he did not see the ship in front of him until it was almost too late. The was no light coming from the ship. The man stopp
Everyone was shocked to see the man fainting like that. No one knew what to do at that point, they didn’t know if they could check on him or just leave him like that. They looked at Brandon waiting for him to say something.Except, he didn’t say a word instead, he looked at the man laying on the floor as if he wanted nothing more than to kill him. As if killing him would make everything alright.That it would bring his creature back or make the men on the ship call. Like if he could only end his life then everything else would be fine. In his anger, Brandon went and kicked the man hard on his ribs making him wince in pain.The pain from the kick woke him up but he was still in daze, looking around as if he was lost. Then it all came back to him, and he curse himself for being weak. Now everyone knew it was him, or at least that is what he thought.Scanning the room then making eye contact with those murderous eyes that caused him to faint in the first place make him wish the ground co
Distressed, Caleb tried moving past the guards to go in to see Nazima, but they blocked his way. He was furious, the queen’s guards consisted of both the Naga’s and the Merpeople.She wanted to unite her people not separate them and that started with her having guards from both clans. Caleb sent a glare the guard’s way, but they were not moved.After witnessing what the queen can do, they were more scared of the queen than they were of Caleb. “I believe you all know who I am, now let me in or face punishment.” The guard’s felts wronged.How could Caleb want to punish them for doing their jobs? It was the queen who said she didn’t want to see him, it had nothing to do with them. “General, we are only following the queen’s orders.” The merguard explained to his general.He knew how Caleb was and he did not want to face his rath when the time comes. It was better to explain now than keep quiet and wait for his punishment. Caleb also knew that they were following orders, but he could not
Caleb pulled Victoria all the way to his place then let go of her hand. He turned and looked at her with cold eyes. Victoria knew he was angry, but she smiled sweetly at him anyway.He has always been like this towards her, it was nothing new. “Don’t be angry now, I was only looking out for you.” She said batting her eyelashes. “What was that, how dare you?” Victoria only looked at him innocent.“I am not sure which question to answer now, you asked so many.” Caleb was boiling with anger; he did not have time for Victoria’s nonsense. He needed to fix things with Nazima.“Victoria, I will only say this once, stay away from me.” he warned then turned to leave but Victoria followed. Caleb turned in anger and strangled her. Victoria’s eyes widened in shock.Caleb quickly came back to his senses and let go of her. “I said stay the hell away from me!” he yelled. “I was only going to get my backet, there it is.” She pointed at it. the basket containing fresh fish was sitting there by the doo
Unable to respond, Caleb watched as she left. He stood there for some time not knowing what to do. Did Nazima follow them last night or did someone tell her what happened.Caleb wondered if he had a spy following him or did Victoria tell Nazima? He didn’t think so though, he thought Victoria would never do something like that. Not after he warmed her against it.Caleb looked like a lost boy looking for his mother just standing there with a sad look in his face. Zane who was still in the meeting hall came out and happen to see Caleb standing there.He watched him for a few minutes before he walked over to him. “You look troubled.” He commented, Caleb turned his head and looked at him. He knew this man did not like him.But at that moment he did not know what came over him. Caleb opened his mouth and asked the man for help. “I need your help, Zane.” His request shocked Zane himself.He only went there to mock him but when he took a closer look the man looked broken. Zane sighed and gest
