Something was shaking me.
"Katie, get up!" A voice said.
I stirred then opemed my eyes. I was still in dads hospital room, but I was on the floor beside my chair. My arms were locked around my knees, in the fetal position. Why? Oh, I relized that the whole room was shacking and going down really fast.
I looked up. It was Luna.
"Whaa...?" I asked sleeply.
"The Helicarrier! Its going down! We have to get out, now!"
"But..."
"No time forbuts! Go!into an escape pod!" I grab dad, being mindful to his wounds.
I ran to an escape pod and shoved him inside. While I was waiting for him to wake up aferthe hallway inccedent, I picked out all helicarrier flaws. And there were only enough escape pods for everyone except one person. Me.
I saw leaks in the the walls. I started to fill all the escape pods.
The water was up to my chest. One last agent. I filled the escape pod and pit a note in his breast pocket, and the spider necklace in there too.
"Sorry dad..." I whispered with the last breathe I had.
I realized something. I could probably turn into a fish! I try to shift into a dolphin, or a bass. It didn't work, so I guess I'm only a lung animal that isn't aquatic. Shit.
My lungs were burning. I couldn't hold my breathe much longer. My vision started to go dark and I floated down to the bottom of the suckin helicarrier. My vision was blurring and and darkining rapidly. A silent figure swam up to me, but too far away. I used the last of my strenghth tring to get to the shadowy figure. My lungs were buring and my vision was all blurred and spotted with black.
It was about twenty yards away when I lost consiness.

Dream

I was in the misty fog again, but this time it was more humid and cold. I was shivering. I walked threw the mist, looking searching for something. Memoeries flashed in the mist. One of me playing tea party with my dad when I was five. Another was dad and I stuffing our faces with pancakes at nine. The last one I saw was me holding his hand, sobbing. I teared up at the memory.
You love him, don't you? A voice in the darkness said.
Yeah, but why do you ask? Don't you, like, live in my mind or something? I asked.
No, I'm your power. I'm that little voice that tells you when to duck, jump, kick or punch. I'm your Spider Sence. Call me malcom. Malcom said.
Soooo, what do you want? Besides my mind to live in? I asked.
To tell you that you need to listen. Don't let this deter you. Malcom said. Now, you need to wake up. I won't let you die, and niether will your father. Now go!
Wait! How will I know its you? I asked.
But Malcom was already gone. I walk past my memories again, stopping at the last one I have, which is passing out in the middle of the ocean. I touch the memory, and it ripples and shimmers, transporting me back to realtity.

End of dream.

Why isn't she up yet...Her lungs are fulled with water... Some voices were saying close to me.
She's not dead, is she? Someone asked anxiously. Then I jeard a clang of metal being smaked and a cry of pain.
Can it for once! A felmale voice said.
I started coughing, My lungs were burning, and they were spazing. I shivered and coughed up water.
"Katie, katie, are you awake?" A girl around my age asked. Everythimg was blurred and circleing.
I coughed up more water and rolled over to my side, so that I sont choke it back down. After a few moments of coughing up water, I tried to get on my knees, but wobbled and fell back over. Luna and Ava helped my up. I was cold and soaked.
"Again, are you all right?" Someone asked. I think it was luke. I shook my head no.
"I *cough cough* camt really see or support myself..*cough cough*" I said, struggling to get the soind out. Every cough brought a mouthfull of salt water up. My vision stopped spinning as fast, but it slowly turned, an I was getting tunnel vision. My knees buckled and Luna and Ava caught me as I started to fall. I relized Luna was also soaked.and.cold.
"Hey, I think *cough* I know a place you guys could go while the new helicarrier isbeing built." I said weakly.
"Dont stress it, katie. We will find a place. We.don't want a charity home."
"Wha.. oh!" I said, "you think I meant the new charity house near the school! No, I mean with dad and I! Aunt may would take you guys in, amd she knows the secret dad shares with family." I said.
They all nodded.
"Hold it! Where's dad? I put him in an escape pod!" I burst out, suddenly worried.
"He's already in thehospital, getting better burn treatmants." Sam said.
"Are you sure...?" I asked, still worried.
"Yes." Luna said impatiently.
I tried to atand again on my own. I had to lean partly on Luna, but she didn't mind.
We started to walk towards Aunt Mays house, but stopping at the hospital first.
"Ms...kemp?" The doctor asked. Me and the others stood up.
"Sorry. Only two at a time." The doctor said. Luna and I went first, and luna only went bc of me.
"Hey Katie." Dad said, happy to see me.
"Dad, are you ok? * small cough* I didn't know if you were at home or..." I trailed off.
"Katie, I'm fine for now. Don't panic." He said, quoting our avorite movie, hitchikers guide to the galaxy.
"Haha very funny. Seriously. Oh! I forgot! Is it ok if danny, luke, ava, luna, and sam live with us since their home is gone?" I asked, winking.
"Oh my gosh yeah!" He said, winking back. "How'd that happen?"
"Our oil tank blew up while we were out at centeral park." Luna said.
"That's so sad!" He said, going with the stroy we made when we came here. "Aunt May will understand."
"The doc said only two at a time. So we will get so the others can see you." I said.
"Okay. Love you spider. Oh, and I think this is yours." He said, holping my spider necklace out.
"O my god thank you!" I said, but then coughed up another small storm
"Hey, is everyone ok? I heard coughing..." the doctor said.
"No, Luna and I were out kyaking and our boats tipped. I'm fine though, serioisly." I replied with a nice sturdy lie. Thays scary.
"Well, I should probably have a look at you anyways. Come down this way please."
"Okay. Just a moment please. Bye dad." I bent down to give him a hug and a kiss. "Don't die." I whwhispered into his ear.
He laughed and huged and kissed me e back.
I wend with the doc, even though they scare the shit out of me.
We pull into a small physical room.
"Please, sit on the bed." He took my blood pressure and checked my eyes nose and ears. They were fine.
When he got to mythrought, he said it was raw from coughing up salt water. Then, my breathing was weird and watery.
"I'm going to sedate you and try to pump the water from your lungs. This will be free of charge." He said. Good. I was broke.
"Luna, you can probably go out to the lobby, unless you want to stay." I said.
She shrigged and didn't move. Secretly, I was glad.
Needle! It was Malcom.
I looked at the doctor. He had a needle in his hand. I was scared. Why trust this paticular man with my wolf life. How do I know that he isn't loki or something? Why would he get the needle out now?
He leads me to a room with a bed with strapes. He tells me to lie down and that the vaccine will help put me to sedation.
He injecfs it it into the side of my neck.
I whimper and Luna takes my hand. I squeeze it, as I feel my body grow weaker the doctor puts a gas mask on my face. A green mist sprays out and I have to inhale it. I felt dizzy and ucordinated. I started seeing the room spiral slowly. Soon, my hand slipped oit of Lunas and I fell into a deep, dreamless state of sedation.
