"It's not working!" She cried, her breathing consisting of short ragged whimpers."It's not gonna hold!" She screamed and squoze her eyes shut, her teeth clenched together as she waited
Waited for her untimely death to consume her.
But it didn't come
The warnings suddenly ceased
A dark shade of blue began to cascade down the outer walls of the glider
The suction cups released their hold on the glass and fell awayMonica wasn't sure what had spooked it, but something didn't seem right
Her past experiences with the cephalopods showed that when spooked, they'd of course ink then swim away
But this squid was lingering, even after inking.
When she was thirteen and swimming off the coast of Thailand, her and her brother Gage got covered in ink from an eight foot squid and they actually puked once they got back on land.
As the thick indigo cloud disappeared, Monica saw the squid
But it know lay prone in the jaws of a giant shark.
The colossal selachimorpha swam right over the glider, it's razor sharp teeth glinting in the glare of the headlightsMonica stared up at the beast of a shark with wide eyes, her mouth hanging open in complete shock
"It's, it's a shark... like 20 or 25 meters" she gasped
"It's Megalodon" Jonas's voice suddenly spoke over the link, just as his sub broke through the thermocline
"That's impossible!" She breathed
"Monica, power down it's drawn to the light" Jonas instructed, but her systems were still offline
"I can't, nothin's responding!" Monica panicked, she was surprised she hadn't smashed the glass of the control panel with how harshly she was pressing it.
Something out of the corner of her eye moved, she turned to see a massive dark mass moving towards her at a terrifying speed
The shark came so close to the side of her glider, ready to chomp down onto the small craft
"MONICA LOOK OUT!!!"
