Scratch stirred as he awoke to a loud sloshing and repetitive slamming. "Aughhhh… Molly, please enough…" He received no response as the sound kept echoing throughout the room. He shifted his position on the small bed and got off floating out of the room. But to his confusion, rather than being met by Molly making a racket, or even her room, he was instead met by the inky darkness of the night sky.

"Wha-?", Scratch was about to speak before getting flung to the floor by the rocking of what he realized was a boat. He gathered his wits and made an attempt to stand, grabbing the railing of the deck. The cool metal chilled his hand, and he ran his other hand through his messy head of hair. He suddenly paused and looked at his hand, and then looked down and realized he was in a human body. "Oh God did I sleep-possess someone again?", he quickly threw out that theory when he heard his voice, untampered and clear.

A chilling thought ran through his head, "Am I alive again? How did…", but before he could finish another hard rock of the boat flung him overboard and into the cold sea. He felt like he was being pulled tightly under as he struggled to swim to the surface. His cries of panic gurgled and muffled by the deep dark sea. Memories of rocking oceans and happy crew flashed lightly over his vision, as he felt his arms go numb from the struggle.

His eyelids felt heavy, and his lungs burned from the salt and lack of air. His mind was still panicking trying to come up with the energy to push forward, but eventually even Scratch stopped trying to mentally scream as he felt so tired. A final slow blink closed Scratch into the darkness as he let himself succumb to the ocean, its cold embrace holding him tightly, as he sank further to the bottom...
