"Get the rope, now!" The captain yelled to his sailors. "Grab all your whores and throw them on deck. Take their dresses." I sat in the middle deck watching as the sailors scrambled around for the rope and their lady's. We were all just one night stands and we had no idea. These men were married. I cursed them under my breathe for what they had done and I vow to get even with them. My eyes found Joshua as he watch his fellow crew mates toss their "whores" next to me. His eyes met mine, my facial expression remained cold as his turned smug. I looked around at the girls around me as we all held our bare chests, most shivered in fear, I shivered in anger.

I got to the edge and looked down, a long plunge ahead of me. I wasn't afraid, more loathing it. I stretched my arms spread eagle, leaned forward and fell. I managed to flip my self to I entered the water feet first. I closed my eyes until submerged in water, then opened my eyes and looked up. I saw the sunlight fading as I sank lower and lower and grew colder and colder. My lungs felt as if they were going to explode and implode all at the same time. Finally after what seemed like hours which I knew were only a few short minutes I decided to take a big gulp of water into my lungs.
