Adrien's P.O.V

I placed (Y/N) back in her bed allowing her to rest hoping that she would wake up soon and tell me what caused her to use so much energy. Letting a sigh fall from my lips a voice I don't recognise calls out to me, "Adrien..." "Adrien come here," 

I feel as though I knew this voice, a voice as soft as the gentle rustle of leaves, as sweet as the desserts back home... Yet there was an emptiness to it, no emotions could be distinguished in the voice as it continued to call for me. 

"Adrien come here there's someone who wants to see you," 

"I know your there Adrien come here and say hello," 

Hearing the voice call me, begging me to come to it, I feel like I fell into a trans. I walked sluggishly in the direction of the voice hoping to catch a glimpse of what or who is summoning me to the deck. Before I could climb the stairs I was harshly pulled back, hands covered my ears with urgency and a foul-smelling item was placed under my nose causing me to gag and recoil against the person behind me. 

This however snapped me from my trans as I see a figure with a simple white dress wonder the top of the deck. Taking a closer look I was horrified by what I saw the creature looked human but its skin was rotting of the body and its lack of eyes seem to scan its surroundings looking for something or someone. I saw something fall out of the creature's grasp and it was Cleo's head but now it was dried like that of a mummy with her eyes missing, my breath caught in my throat as the being walked down the stairs the once sweet voice was suddenly harsh and ear-splitting. 

Blood rushed to my ears as I saw the being make its way to (Y/N)'s room with its steps increasing in pace. I tried to break from the hold of the person behind me, however, their hold on me increased in their strength until I hear Nick's voice whisper in my ear, "Dude, relax if you don't the wraith will come back and take you into the underworld." 

"What about Gold? She's in danger!" I frantically replied, still trying to loosen the grip Nick had on me. 

 "Dude, it's not after her, it's trying to search for any souls to take since there is the scent of death all over the ship. Yet there are no free roaming spirits so it's trying to lure anyone out to touch its rotting skin so they become a spirit for it to take." Nick whispered, tightening his grip on me so that I don't break free. 

After hearing the explanation I stopped struggling, now just waiting alongside Nick in this part of the hallway that was carved out giving us enough space to say out of the way in the hallway's main path but not far enough away for us to not be practically on top of each other. We both stayed like this till a series of whistles echo from various parts of the ship and Nick joined in, taking this as the all clear I rushed to (Y/N)'s room to make sure that she was okay, I know what Nick said but my heart was in my throat the entire time, my thoughts still running ramped on what if's, Like what if the wraith grazed its skin against her hand that might've laid over the bed.  

Rushing threw the open door I let a breath of relief seeing that she was still alright. Her skin still had its healthy glow, and her chest also rose and fall at a steady rate the relief that washed over me felt almost like a tidal wave washing away the stress and fear I felt only seconds prior. I slowly approached her laying a soft kiss on her forehead which brought a smile to her features and cause her to mumble, "Mmm my North Star... my sweet treasure." Before she promptly snuggled more under her blankets blissfully unaware of the danger that was just here. I felt a hand lay itself on my shoulder looking back I see Nick with a goofy smile on his face while holding a thumbs up, giving a low chuckle I shook my head and followed him to the top of the deck where the silence that was so suffocating was then replaced by the crew cheering, Luke giving orders and a few members of the crew drunkenly talking with each other about how the wraith was one of the more put together ones. 

The atmosphere was light-hearted and easy however there was still a question that bounced around in my head. "Hey, Nick what was the thing you shoved under my nose to pull me from my trans?" I asked, looking at how he chuckled before saying.

"That's the captain's special concoction of rotting meat, rat shit, and a couple of drops of vomit from the drunkest man in the tavern that we visit." Nick burst out laughing (probably at the absolute disgust on my face) before continuing, "The best thing to wake up anyone from a wraith's trans and keep them awake, it's either that or a broken finger, and let's say everyone on the crew rather takes the smell." 

"I can't tell if I'm grateful or disgusted by this revelation to get rid of a wraith trans," I respond trying to keep whatever food I ate to stay down. Nick continued to laugh at my expense before I heard Luke shout from the helm, "Nick, get up to the crow's nest and keep an eye out for home base and take Adrien with you!"

"You got it, Luke!" Nick shouted back, before turning to me with a large smile and said, "I think it would be better if you go and catch a nap your looking kinda green around the gills."

"Thanks, Nick," I responded, before heading to my room. Right before I entered I noticed that the (Y/N)'s room door was still open so I decided I'll give her one more kiss on the head before closing the door and heading to my room, however when I entered her room her door closed suddenly, and then...
