Authors Note# This one has a Jurassic Park vibe to it, now this chapter will have gore in it, cause it's Jurassic Park, so please if you feel uncomfortable with it, please skip. And this one will have both siblings meet a family friend. I think some of you know who it is, and for those who don't, be in for a surprise.

________________________________________________________________

We sail on the sea once again, the sun set about a few minutes ago. Damien steers the skiff, Athena was being held by Goliath, and I was watching the water.

The mist disperses, and we look to see an island with a large mountain in the distance. Damien groans. "I'm gonna ask this again, Diana. Are you absolutely sure this Manhattan place is real, or is it a myth?"

I turn to him. "Yes, it's a real place." I say to him. Then the skiff abruptly moves. Athena tightens her grip on Goliath, Bronx whimpers and I held onto the skiff. "What was that?"

"We hit something." Damien says holding the oar.

I look in the water, and I see something moving in the water. "I don't think we hit something." I say to them. They look at me. "I think something hit us." I say then the skiff moves again, but more aggressively. Athena yelps as she holds Goliath, and he tightens his grip, Bronx whimpers, Damien tightens his grip on the skiff, and I held on the side of the boat.

Then something emerges from the water. A large shadow looms over all five of us, then lands back in the ocean, the wave was large enough to knock the skiff over. We all scream and land in the ocean. We sink into the ocean and both Damien and I were fine, but the others weren't, they didn't breathe underwater. Damien grabs Bronx and swims back to the surface. I swam over to Goliath and Athena, he nods at me, he passes me Athena, and we both swam to the top.

They gasp for air, and Athena tightens her grip around my neck. "Are you okay?" I ask her, she nods in my neck. "You're okay, sweetie. I got ya." I reassure her, Goliath swam over to us, and places a hand on the side of my face. "We're okay." I wrap my arm around his shoulders and Goliath grips us in his large arm.
