My Merman

2. Chapter

TW: swearing, attack (no one gets hurt)

_Clay POV_

I don't like when people raise their voice at me. It reminds me of my childhood.

I don't think. I swing my left foot behind Karl and hit his leg to stumble him. He losses his balance and I place my hands on his chest to push him to the ground. He falls and I pin him to the floor. My elbow is placed on his neck, keeping him from getting up.

"No one talks to me that way." I say, anger rushing trough me. I didn't control myself. I didn't full realize what I was doing. Karl was getting really scared at this point. I keep him in that position until someone grabs my shoulders and pushes me off him. My vision goes black again.

I look up, I see Nick holding up a sword to my neck.

"What the fuck, dude!" I scream, trying to get him off me.

"Do not move, you motherfucker. You could have killed Karl!" He removed the blade away from my throat, still on top of me.

A/N None of these scenes meant to be sexual in any way.

"You are forgetting where your place is, Nick. I am still your captain. Get off me. Now."

He slowly let go of me and my reality started coming together again. I started to realize what I have done. Karl was on the verge of tears and Nick hugged him. Karl looked at me with fear.

"I'm sorry, Karl. I don't know why I did that. I'm really sorry. Are you okay?"

Karl just looks at me. His eyes locked on me. It felt weird, like something was missing on me.

I run my fingers trough my wavy, dirty blonde hair. I stop immediately. I look around myself. I see my mask laying on the floor around 7ft away. It must've fallen off my face when Nick kicked me off.

"Fuck."

I turn away from them. I don't mind Nick seeing my face, but Karl? Karl is a completely different story. I've met Karl a year ago and I've always worn that mask. I was really insecure about my face and I wasn't ready for him to see it. And he always wanted to see me without it. I was planning on revealing myself at their wedding as a wedding gift. I guess not, thought.

Karl doesn't say anything. He just stares at me.

I walk over and pick it up. I put it on my face and slowly turn around. I take a deep breath and speak like nothing happened.

"One of you go get the boat ready, I'll go find Alex." I spin around and walk away from them. I can feel their eyes on the back of my neck. It's weird but what did I expect. Nick didn't have that reaction when I showed him my face. Well, my face wasn't covered in burn marks, scratches and there was not a big cut across my face back then.

I walk down the stairs to the level where the crew was sleeping. Around half of the people there were already awake, talking to Niki.

I walk up to the group and place my hand on one the shorter boy' shoulder. He turns around. He has a similar scar like mine, but his goes from a little bit over the top of his left eyebrow, across the eye and it stops a couple centimeters above his lips. He's also blind on that eye.

"Alex, go with me." I say with a monotone voice. He doesn't show fear. He never does. He just nods, and walks behind me. I have a strong feeling that he already knows what's about to happen. Everyone on this ship knew. 'The Pandora's Vault'sailed right in the heart where every men, that ever sailed these waters, died.

"I'm sorry that there will be no wedding," I say. He doesn't look at me. He nods and fixes his beanie.

Why did I say that? That will only make him feel worse.

It's the truth and he knows it.

It's still painful.

I shake my thoughts out of my head and lead him up the deck where I see Nick and Karl kissing again. Alex takes a deep breath. He rolls his engagement ring on his finger and walks up to them.

I decide to give them some privacy and walk up to the left side where the boat is slowly swinging on the cold ocean waves. In the corner of my right eye I see something move. Something with a fish tail. We don't have a lot of time left. The attack is coming soon.

Niki comes to stand next to me. She's holding a backpack in the air for me to grab it.

"There's some clothes in here, weapons and some food that should last for about 3 days. Sapnap, Karl and Quackity have their own backpack in case anything happens." She hands it to me.

"If anything happens, put Techno in charge of the ship. You barricade yourself into my cabinet and stay there till the end of the night. Got it?"

She nods and turns around. She doesn't say anything, just leaves. Good, I don't need to worry about her anymore. I pull down a ladder that leads to a boat and start climbing down it. My leather boots hit the wooden floor of the vessel. I grab the paddles and scream for Nick, Karl and Alex. They slowly climb down the ladder and jump in the boat.

I look at them and they cuddle up together. That's probably the last time they see each other, so I'll be in control of the paddles.

"Stop cuddling and prepare your swords." I didn't mean to sound so harsh. They separated and pulled out their weapons.

I started noticing dark shadows underneath us. Creatures appearing on my eye sight more and more. All four of us look at each other. It started.
