I watch as the statue is lifted up into the air, it seems like to me Navarro knows about this curse and by making Gabriel open it and get cursed himself and killing him as a monster gives him the chance to sell the statue so he can have the money himself.

"Oh no" Nate says as growls echo through the place, the monsters obviously found us and we have no guns to protect our self...unless we take the guards guns. "What the hell is that?" My father asks as we all watch as the curse humans climb down some pillars, circling Navarro and Elena.

I watch as the monster quickly got closer to the men by the statue, I look down to Navarro to see him pulling Elena away from the situation.

"Jesus. What are those things?" My father asks, still in confusion. I notice Nate was about to reply but I decide to be the one to tell him.

"It's the Spaniards, dad. They never left"

My father didn't have time to reply as the gun shots started as more monsters start to fill the place and attack the people around the statue, I notice another guard had come up behind me, properly to keep me in place, I quickly grab the shotgun, hitting him in the head with it before throwing him over the edge with the rest of now Navarro's men and the load of monsters who keep coming in.

I turn around to see Nate and my dad taking the other shotguns and doing the same as I did. Nate and I load up the shotguns as he states to us. "My God, if that thing gets off the island..."

"You gotta stop him" My father cuts him off. "I'll cover from here" before he starts firing at the monster who had now killed all the men down below. Nate and I ran down the side, shooting at the monsters who were running towards us.

"He's getting away!" I hear my father shout, just as some more of Navarro's men come down the stone steps, coming from the way Navarro had pulled Elena away, we both try and run up the steps but it wasn't happening because more of these guys showed up but before any more could come, Nate and I jump towards the statue which is still being lifted out of the cave. As we are slowly lifted out of the cave, a man standing beside the hole, properly guarding it so no one could stop them.

He turns around with now a shocked impression as he watches us, we both salute to him causing him to grab his walkie-talkie. "Hey!" I hear him shout into the walkie-talkie but I couldn't get the rest because we were now being flown but he properly told Navarro about us being on the statue.

I look up to see a man with a machine gun, shooting rapidly at us and seems like he was laughing as well but turned into screaming once he fell out of the helicopter. He either fell out or was kicked out properly by Elena if she is up there. Suddenly I lose my grip, I scream as I struggle to keep a hold of the rope.

I try and hold on tight with my one hand before my fingers slowly slip away from the rope, I try and use my other hand to reach for the rope but...it's too late. I fall towards the water, screaming as I fall.

"VIOLET!" I hear Nate shout just as I hit the cold water, the cold water made the impact hurt, even more, I groan causing the salty water to move down my throat. With a massive struggle, I finally swim to the surface, coughing up the salty water which is now burning my throat. I look up to see Nate on top of the boat, looking down to me with a worried expression.

"Go Nate! Go get Elena!" I shout towards him, we'll I try to with a burning throat, I watch Nate as he runs off. I take a breath in before I start swimming towards the side of the boat, it was a huge struggle to swim to the boat especially with the waves hitting me but I did make it.

I could hear gunshots coming from the boat. I look up to the ship, trying to figure out a way to get up. It looks like it's going to be hard as I could see a way to get up but I'll have to jump my way up and when I'm cold and wet this is now ten times harder.
