The leak is getting ridiculous. It is getting bigger and bigger by the second and I overheard someone saying they think the ship is going to sink. I am not sure what to do. We get sent out to walk the plank in an hour and I am worrying about this ship sinking? It's their problem that their ship is going to sink not mine. Luna walks in between the door and I look over her shoulder and see two pirates behind her.

"You're walking the plank at 6:30 instead of 7:00 I wanted you to know." Said Luna.

I look over at the waves there acting strange. Instead of moving in one place to another and having current they are as still as a rock. I remember Luna telling me that the leak will make the sea creatures act strange but I didn't think it would affect the waves. I wonder why it would make the creatures act strange.... The boat shifts. I start to see it sink from above my window and then water rushes into the boat and it shall sink. Everyone is going to die today. Everyone that I know shall be wiped away into shreds today. Everyone I know shall only be a memory. Today I shall see my dear father and mother once more the day they died was the same way but on another ship. I remember it like it was yesterday (but it was like eleven years ago...) The water rushes up onto my knees then I look out the window.

"StarLight! I have an idea. I break the window and we leave the ship and well hope we don't get eaten by sharks with my mermaid cent." I say.

"Wait... you're a mermaid?!" She said shocked.

"We can talk about it if we don't die trying to leave this place." I say breaking the window with my elbow and glass flies everywhere then I see Luna trying to stop us I grab StarLight and out the window we go.

"You come back here! If I make it through this I will find you both and kill you! I shall not rest until the day I have my spear running through your neck." She said.

"She's cheerful." I say sarcastically. "Oh don't worry you won't have that chance because we'll kill you first!" I say mockingly.
