Escape the Night

~ The Kraken ~

Meghan arrives back at the deck, she stops and leans against a pillar. Leon walks onto the deck too. "Stupid stuck-up brat..." Meghan said. "Who does he think he is?" She punches the pillar, Leon approaches Meghan. "I really ain't having Roan's crap tonight, if he thinks I'm slacking off, he can look at himself." She calms down a little. "Why did I even come here... This was a huge mistake." She sighed. "To be honest," Leon started. "I miss the internet." "Leon? What are you doing here?" "Uh, I don't know, I don't really care." "At the moment, me neither..." Meghan sat down. "Some of the people here are kinda annoying... And that's just a fact." He sighed, and sat down with her. "I just wanted to play party games, not 101 ways to kill a bitch. It's nice to know that not everyone thinks about saving their own ass in the first place." He said.

Julia and Rose are slamming nails into planks to try and cover the crack. "Jesus! This isn't helping!" Julia yelled. The water is already up to their knees. "Language, we're just 17..." Rose responded. "Oh I'm sorry about that, have you found anything else useful?" Julia smirked. "Wait! I have an idea!" Rose said. "Bring me a vibrato-... Nevermind." The water rose even higher.

"Do you think we're really trapped here?" Leon asked Meg. The waves started slamming again, something big was moving through the water, there's no wind at all. "Uh, well, depends... But it seems suspicious that the host magically appeared and disappeared out of thin air." Meghan responded. Leon frowned. "I'm getting some vibes... Most likely from- Hang on, something feels wrong." He stood up. "What do you mean?" Meghan asked.

"I swear to god!" Julia screamed. She calmed down immediately, she was obviously stressing. "Sleeping with the fishes isn't the way I was planning to pass." She threw the hammer away. "To be honest, none of us has it on their bucket list." It was quiet for a while, but then a loud banging was heard from the cracked wall and a huge tentacle reached through a gap. The tentacle wrapped itself around Julia, "Help!" and pulled her through the hole into the ocean. "Julia!" Rose screamed. The wall cracked open and pieces of wood streamed into the room along with all the ocean water closing in on the ship's insides. The ship was officially sinking and there's no way to save it anymore. Rose closed her eyes and hoped for either the best, the worst or a miracle. Julia was pulled down underwater, by the giant squid. It had a flat head and red big bulky eyes accompanying gross, sharp white teeth.

Everyone was back on the deck, the ship was somehow sailing again. Espen stood up first and looked around at all his passed-out fellow passengers. "Are we dead...?" He'd say to himself. He ran to Esmay, bowed down and shook her shoulder. "Esmay?" He said. He tried the same with Leon and Meghan, but none of them woke. A while later, Roi regained consciousness too. "What the hell..." He said. "Last thing I remembered was being pulled down by some large tentacles..." He scratched his head and started pushing his temples. "What are you doing?" Espen asked. "This helps me reset my mind." Roi continued. "And now we're back on the deck..." He said. Some of the others woke up too. "Okay," Rhea said. "Let's be logical, what was the last thing we remember doing?" She asked. "Well we started collection some supplies to save the ship." Roan stated. "Then, me and Rose went down to the part where the wrecking was and well, I don't know..." Julia said. "Then what is all this supposed to mean?" Lucas asked, confused.

In the middle of the group, a figure appeared, it was a man with a squid's head and one tentle leg and one tentacle arm. "That was very miserable, my friends..." It said. Lucas looked freaked out. "What even are you..."
