Alex watched as Edmund got to the top of the crow's nest and started stabbing the air, trying to reach the sea serpent. She screamed. "Edmund, behind you!"

Alex ran across the deck, starting the climb. "Don't listen to her, Ed!"

Alex screamed, tears running down her face as she climbed. "Edmund!" 

She sat up, her chest heaving deep breaths. She looked over at the clock, and her eyes widened. She was supposed to meet Edmund and Lucy in 15 minutes.
