Part 5: A Storm In The Rough

Rizuki woke up to her bed sliding and hitting against the door to her room. She woke up with a start and glanced around the room. She rubbed her eyes sleepily. She yawned as she got out of her bed and pushed back to the back of her room. Then she scrawled back in and tried to go back to sleep, but the bed slid again and crashed against her door. Rizuki groaned as she got out of bed again and pushed her back to the back. She sighed as she got dressed and walked out into the hall. All the doors were closed. Everybody was still fast asleep. She was the only one awake. She couldn't understand how they could continue to sleep with all the racket going on. She stumbled up the stairs to the deck. Her eyes widen when she saw that the ship was caught in a huge storm and that the sea water was crashing onto the ship. Rizuki quickly rushed back down the ship and into each one of the members' rooms.

"Guys, wake up!" Rizuki yelled in panic. They all groaned in annoyance. Rizuki sighed as she continued to shake each one of their shoulders. "Guys! Come on! We're caught in a storm!"

"It's just a storm," Russell complained.

"Yeah, it will pass," Captain complained as well.

"Ok, fine, but if the waves crashing onto the deck is just a regular storm and you guys are used to it then fine, go back to sleep," Rizuki said. After she said that each one of them bolted up.

"The water is goin' on the deck?" Each of them asked in panic. Rizuki nodded. They quickly got dressed and rushed up the stairs. The whole deck was covered by water, seaweed, little fish, and crustaceans.

"Good thin' ya woke us up," Christopher remarked.

"Yeah, otherwise, we probably would be underwater right now, drowning," Thomas added. Rizuki shrugged her shoulders.

"Eduardo, get us out of this storm," Captain ordered. Eduardo nodded as he went to the wheel and tried to turn the ship out of the storm.

"Do you think it will pass through?" Rizuki asked.

"This is the sea," Captain responded, "When ya get caught in a storm out at sea it's a brutal one. It usually lasts all night, sometimes even into the next day." Rizuki bit her lip nervously. "Go find Thomas. He'll tell ya what to do." Rizuki nodded as she made her way over to Thomas who was fixing the sails.

"Thomas, be careful," Rizuki exclaimed.

"Don't worry, I'm strapped down," Thomas reassured Rizuki as he continued. Rizuki sighed as she took a rope and went to help Thomas.

"Everybody, hold on!" Eduardo yelled, "We've got ourselves a big one!" Rizuki watched in horror as a huge wave came crashing down onto the deck. The salty sea water made her eyes water as it splashed into her eyes.

"Eduardo, ya gotta turn us outta the way!" Russell shouted as he and Captain held onto the ropes, that were tied around the canons.

"I'm tryin' Russell!" Eduardo retorted as he turned the wheel furiously.

"We're gonna loose the canons!" Captain shouted in panic. Nathan and Christopher were lucky to be downstairs as far as everybody else on deck thought, but it was even worse downstairs. Water was crashing through the windows and filling the rooms up. Nathan came rushing up the stairs in panic.

"Eduardo, ya gotta turn us!" Nathan exclaimed.

"Whadda ya think I've been doin' this whole time?!" Eduardo yelled getting slightly frustrated by everyone's commands.
