season 1 episode 8; no mourners 

The wind howled through the white sails of the ship and when the bright lightnings flashed through the dark sky, Nataliya could make out many different shipwrecks in the distance.

Which made the already dark landscape look even more creepy than it already was. Nataliya tried to shake off the pain she was feeling all around her as she messed with her necklace.

There was complete silence on the Skiff, nobody moved, and nobody dared to even whisper something until General Kirigan suddenly spoke up. "Can you feel them?"

The male Heartrender who stood right behind him looked around as he held his hands up, "No heartbeats yet, sir."

Nataliya knew he was wrong; she could feel them. Their painful erratic heartbeats crept through the air told Nataliya they were nearby. She and Inej exchanged a look before Jesper quickly moved past them and opened the gutter that was in the ground.

The other three immediately followed him, climbing down the wooden ladder. Nataliya was the last one to climb down and as she just closed the gutter above her she could hear the horrible growling of the Volcra, which made her quickly climb down the ladder.

Not wanting to feel their presence of death. The three made her way further into the inside of the skiff and made themselves comfortable as they could listen to the growls of the Volcra.

Jesper started to prepare his gun while he let out a grunt, "This is a bad idea!"

"I think it's rather practical." Kaz answered him immediately as Nataliya just shook her head still clutching her necklace in her hand.

Jesper scoffed at him, "What? Why?"

Kaz looked up to the ceiling, "I don't see how we step off this boat without you pulling those guns."

Jesper chuckled as Kaz continued, "So, cleaning them is a good idea."

"I don't mean this," He held up his gun before he pointed to the celling, "I mean this."

All their heads snapped up as they heard another growl, but this time it was a lot louder. Nataliya could hear the Volcra's heartbeats as it was ten times worse than when on the train. She could feel death creep all around her as she tried to focus on anything.

"We're in the worst place I'm the world, on a ship full of people who want us dead, surrounded by monsters who want us in their gullets! - should have brought Milo!" Jesper let out as it helped distract Nataliya.

Inej furrowed her eyebrows at him, "Who's Milo?"

Jesper gave her an annoyed look, "The goat!"

Nataliya lightly laughed at their exchange, but Kaz just ignored them, "How many bullets do you have?"
