-Tortuga? Tortuga-

Caribbean Sea

Even though Elsa was quite exhausted from the rough storm that had hit them, she couldn't sleep. The Caribbean heat was something she wasn't used to, she was a Norwegian and had spent her life on the colder seas. 

She had already opened all six of the windows at the back of her cabin as far as she could possibly open them, but unfortunately there was no breeze. She took an old chart from her desk, folded it and started to use it as a fan. She waved her arms frantically to try and get the fan to work. At last she gave up and plopped down on her chair. ''Blast this tropical madness!'' She exclaimed as she wiped the sticky sweat from her forehead. 

Suddenly she got an idea and quickly stood up. She took off her teal colored waistcoat, purple waist sash and her two belts. She was only wearing a white loose linen shirt and her black pants. She had already kicked off her brown boots and her weapons earlier when she attempted to sleep. 

She rushed out of her cabin onto the main deck and quickly walked to the railing. She grabbed the ratlines and climbed onto the ship's wooden railing. 

''What are you doing?'' She heard Anna call out. Elsa glanced to her left and saw her sister and Olaf sitting on the steps that led to the quarterdeck. They were tying knots together. 

''Just going for a little swim, want to join me?'' Elsa asked. 

''Yes! Let's go swimming!'' Olaf cheered while he jumped up and dropped his rope. 

''No, no!'' Anna exclaimed and took a hold of Olaf's skinny arm. ''You can't swim,'' Anna said. 

''Well, he has to learn at some point, right?'' Elsa reasoned. 

''Not today, not here.'' Anna said stifly. ''We don't know what lives in these waters, you shouldn't go either.'' 

''Probably some crocodiles and sharks,'' Elsa said calmly, Olaf's brown eyes widened and his jaw dropped in awe. ''And perhaps the Kraken?'' Elsa teased and laughed.

''It's not funny, you should come down from that railing.'' Anna said, she was unamused. 

''Just a quick cool off, I'll be out in a jiffy.'' Elsa reassured her sister and spread her arms in the air while she balanced herself on the railing. 

''Wait-'' Anna said but her sister already made an elegant dive into the sea. ''...tie a safetyline around your waist.'' Anna mumbled to herself. 

Both Anna and Olaf strolled over towards the railing and looked over. They were slightly jealous, seeing as they weren't used to the tropical temperatures themselves either. The Caribbean water was very transparent and she could clearly see her sister underwater but she didn't seem to be moving. Anna anxiously held her breath and waited for Elsa to come up. 

''Should we do something?'' Olaf asked unsurely while he looked at Anna. Anna groaned and started to take off her boots. When she had managed to get them off she heard a loud gasp. Anna rushed to the railing again and peeked over. 

''I think the Kraken just got a hold of my ankle.'' Elsa said while she catched her breath.

''Not funny!'' Anna yelled and stomped away from the railing, she could hear her sister laughing loudly. 

''Olaf, throw me one of those lines.'' Elsa ordered. Olaf obeyed and threw one of the lines overboard. Elsa grabbed it and climbed her way back up. She stretched herself out once she was on the main deck again. ''That was so refreshing,'' She said happily. Then she made her way up to the quarterdeck where Merida was standing at the helm. 

''Where are you taking us?'' Elsa smiled as she squeezed the excess water out of her braid. 

''Ye're in an awfully delightful mood for someone who didn't get any shut eye last night,'' Merida chuckled. ''Had a nice swim?''
