Skybound: a USUK fanfic

Trapped

     " Are you fucking kidding me?!" Arthur kicks the wooden door again, trying to open it for the eighth time.
     It seemed that all of the cabin boys had escaped because not one of them was in the wreckage of the room. That was the only good news in the situation though. The door that was supposed to lead back onto the deck of he ship was not budging. He supposed something had slid in front of it while he was searching.
     " Bloody fucking hell! Good job Kirkland. This is why you don't rush into things without a plan!"
     A piece of wood falls over behind Arthur and it reminds him of how dire the whole situation is. He slams his foot against the door again just hoping it would at least give away but it didn't even groan.
     Arthur looks around for another means of escaping the room. There was a hole in the wall where the canon had shot through, but Arthur didn't really want to go skydiving today. Other than that there was a slight opening in the ceiling of the room. The only problem with that is that is that he isn't tall enough to reach it. He glares at the crack on the ceiling before eyeing a wooden box laying a few feet away.
     He grabs the box and sets it up under the hole and carefully steps up onto it. The ship quakes and gives a shudder and Arthur tries to keep his balance.
     " I need to hurry..." He mumbles before unsheathing a knife from around his waste. He brings it up against the hole and begins to chip away more wood to widen the hole. Once it's big enough he returns the knife to its sheath and starts to rip away the wood with his hands.   
     He's almost finished when the ship give another shuddering groan and a terrible noise rips across the ship. Arthur curses as he realizes that ship is literally falling apart now.
      Arthur quickly tears away the last piece and is startled when the wall directly behind him falls apart. The wind from outside picks up and rain is blown every direction. That's when Arthur notices the floor. It's starting to break apart because of the lost support of the wall.
     In a panic he starts to hoist himself out of the room, and as he finally gets on the deck another crack appears just in front of him.
     " Fuck. " He jumps up and tries to avoid the crumbling deck but accidentally steps too close to the edge. His entire world is turned upside down and he sees the ocean. He's fallen off he edge of the ship.
