Henry sat alone on the boat looking down at the water, glimmering like the newly risen sun. Nancy was still asleep, so he had nobody to talk to. Nana was on the other side, sipping a Gatorade in silence. Slurpee was blasting her music through her headphones, it slightly being heard. "SLURPEE? COULD YOU PLEASE TURN THAT DOWN?" Henry yelled, but not to loud to not wake up his beloved wife.
She turned her music down, sending Henry a friendly, yet slightly angered smile.
Suddenly, a sound from the lower part of the cruise ship is heard. It sounds like scratching, like a creature is down here.
It is loud enough to awaken Charon, him having sensitive ears and all, and as a chain reaction, awaken Norman, who was sleeping like a hibernating bear by him.
"Hm? Y'all hear that?" The spider says in a sleepy tone.
"I dunno could just be you goin nuts again, babe." Norman murmured, rubbing his eyes and putting his glasses on
"I dunno..." Henry murmured. "I heard it too..."
Nana took her headphones off, looking confused as a soul heavy-laden with trouble that will not depart. "Hm?" She said, she was listening to fire crackling sounds to try to go to sleep, since the waves were not satisfying her.
"There was a sound....like a bear or somethin." Norman said in his usual,
quiet tone.

"Maybe....someone should check on it? I dunno just givin ideas..." she shrugged. "Maybe it's just a bear?"
"If it's a bear that's still bad." Norman scoffed. "Those beasts eat you ass-first,"
"WELL NOT AS BAD AS A DEMON OR.....SOMETHING!"
"Well, I'm going back to trying to sleep." She murmured, putting her headphones back on.
"Hm....she's got a point though. We do need someone to check." Charon murmured.
That's when it hit him. Say and Arc were playing patty cake in the other room, Say only did it because their brother would destroy the ship if they didn't.
"SAY? WE NEED YOUR HELP!" Charon yelled
"...why me?" They responded.
"YOUR THE BRAVER OF THE TWO."
"HEEEEEEEY!" Arc looked offended. "IM BRAVE, TOO!"
"Not as brave as your sibling." Norman rolled his eyes as Charon giggled. He thought anything was funny.
"Fine..." Say murmured. "What do ya need...."
"UHHHH WE HEARD LIKE A GROWL AND THEY WANT U TO INVESTIGATE THE LOWER PART OF THE SHIIIP." Charon explained quickly to them.
They had the same face they had all the way back when Arc hugged that Moto Moto statue, concerned fear.
"Cmon, who else will?" Henry looked confused.
"Norman." They glanced at him.
"Gotta calm down the spider husband." He looked down at Charon, kissing him.
"Ewww get a room." Arc giggled
"We have one."
"WELL GO DO IT!"
"Okay okay okay I'll go..." they rolled their eyes. "I need a weapon though."

They ended up going down there with a 6-pack package of sausages, a flashlight, and a fake katana.

They went down, and unpackaged the sausages, throwing it down, it staying there, as still as a dead mouse.
They heard slight sniffing, turning her flashlight on.
Then, they saw it.
Long cosmetic horns and tail, black hair, 4 eyes, black pupils with yellow in them. A orange sweater on the creature as it crawls, white around the sleeves where his claws were. Black nail polish on the claws, only one eye open.
It stared at the sausage, staring at it before ripping it to shreds.
Say, being the dumb-dumb they are, flash their flashlight on the creature, causing it to notice them, it growled, opening its other eye, before charging.
They ran towards the door, but it was too late. The creature sank its teeth into their leg, causing blood, red like ketchup, to flow out of their leg. "AGH-" they howled before the creature ripped a chunk out of their leg, eating it, causing them to fall down. Before they could scream, the creature put a claw over their mouth, dragging them by their long, brown hair. They tried to pry off the robots hand, to no avail. Their breathing heavy as they manages to let out a slight scream, before the creature moves it's hands to their stomach, ripping it open. They lets out a blood curdling scream, as the creature beginning to eat their small intestines.
While they're still alive.
The creature decides it wants to inflict more pain, gouging their eyes out.
They scream even louder, trying to alert someone so nobody else would get hurt by the horned creature.
As they slowly lost their life, they hear the running of footsteps, coming to the lower ship.
They let out one more scream before bleeding out, the creature taking out their intestines, eyes, and tongue before leaving.
When the gang had came to the door, they looked nervous, seeing that their friend was screaming bloody murder
"Probably just a spider." Arc shrugged. "Those things are scary!"
Charon looked over, offended
"I'll just open the door....it's probably nothing." Nancy smiled, beginning to open the door.
She looked down, and saw Say's mutilated corpse. The once alive, calm, bright person they were with one moment, had their organs ripped out the next. She put a hand over her mouth and slammed the door shut, turning around, her eyes as wide as lollipops.
"Nancy...?" Henry looked concerned, and slightly frightened. "Is....Say alright?"
Nancy was frozen with fear, extremely terrified
"Their..." she murmured
The rest of them got the hint.
"W-what happened to them-?" Charon sounded a little scared, but Norman was hugging him, so he felt a bit more safe.
"I'll look for what did it-" Henry started going towards the door
"NO." Nancy yelled, grabbing him and pulling him back.
She is surprisingly strong.
"....They'll be fine I've done worse." Arc shrugged
"What" Nancy began.
"I tried to strangle them"
"ARC THIS IS WAY WORSE!" Nancy yelled, crying a little bit knowing that their friend was dead, and everyone on this ship was on the line.
Arc ran over out of curiosity, opening the door, them immediately closing it.
"No..." Arc looked surprised rather than scared "BUT-"
"IS THIS LIKE THE ONE MOVIE ALIEN?!" Nana yelled
"....YES." Arc responded "...BECAUSE NO FUCKING HUMAN THING COULD'VE DONE THAT SHIT TO THEM!"
"Well even Arc is terrified and he tried to burn the ship." Nana murmured.
"I-IM NOT SCARED!" Arc shot back
"THEN WHAT ARE YOU?!" Nana yelled
"I DUNNO! I THINK WE SHOULD ALL JUST GO BACK AND TRY TO SLEEP AND...ILL PLAY PATTY CAKE WITH MYSELF ):" he looked very sad, Nana felt a little guilty.
Later, they all went back to their rooms.
But not a single one of them slept.
