     Two days later.
I woke up to Lucus yelling.  "Shes not here!" I heard something hit the floor and smash. Everything was so loud. I could hear the floor creaking like I had my ear to the floor while someone walked. The man yelled back at lucus calling him a liar. It was like he was right beside me yelling. I heard a gunshot that echoed threw my head. I got up slowly not making any noise. I heard a man scream. It was so loud I thought it would have broken my ear drums.
     "Go to the closet. Move the clothes out of the way. And push the button. Then follow the path. I'll be right behind you." Lucus's voice was so loud in my head.  *Why was everything so loud?* I thought to myself. I looked around the room I picked out last night. The comforter on the bed was a dark blue. The sheets and pillow cases were a soft baby blue. The carpet was a navy blue. And the walls were white with baby blue trim.
     I went to the dark blue door leading to the walk in closet. I pushed the clothes out of the way to reveal a red button. As I pushed it the wall opened up to a secret passageway. As I climbed down the latter the wall moved back in place leaving me in complete darkness for about a second as lights started to turn on leading me to the bottom. As I got closer to the bottom i realized there's no floor. I had to jump. As i jumped i gathered the most air i could hold not knowing where itll end.
     I hit water and sunk to the bottom pushing on my feet to push my way back to the surface.  I swam the crystal blue water till i no longer could swim no more. I floated for about an hour till i felt myself sinking. I dont know how long I had been sinking till I passed out. It seemed like hours that I was sinking. All I could see was darkness. I felt the pressure of the water wanting to crush me. It was cold and dark.
     I woke up to Lucus about to put his mouth on mine before I pushed him away. I jumped up and looked around. It wasn't a small boat but it wasn't huge either. We were in the stomach of the boat. There was a wall full of guns and knives. There was a table in the middle of the room. A door leading to the deck and two other rooms I assume to be for sleeping.
     I looked over at lucus and realised I had pushed him into the wall of guns and knives and there was a knife sticking out of his shoulder. "Holy shit.. I'm sorry. What.." He cut me off by pulling the knife out and taking off his shirt to reveal the wound healing. "Its all good. I'm sorta like you. My body heals itself." I looked around. "Where are we?" Lucus looked at me and smirked. "On a boat in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. "
     I rolled my eyes. "Well no duh. Were not in wonderland now are we?" He laughed and rolled his eyes. "we are headed to Florida. I have a safe house and well stay there till I know it's safe to make our next move. Now off to bed, you nearly died today. You should be exhausted."  I crossed my arms. "I'm not tired and definitely not someone you can push around and tell what to do. And.. who's steering this thing? We could crash you know?"
     Lucus looked amused. He crossed his arms and mocked my tone. "We could crash oh no!" He chuckled a deep warm chuckle. "The boat is self steering. I put the coordinates into the system and it knows where we are going and no we wont crash." He flashed me a bright amused smile.
     I didnt seem tired but I must have been. I woke up in a bed and looked around cautiously.  Lucus was in an uncomfortable position in a tiny chair. I laughed to myself. I got up and carefully made my way over to him. I tapped him on the shoulder and as I went to take my hand away he grabbed my wrist harshly and pointed a gun at my head. When he opened his eyes and adjusted to the lighting he let go of my hand and slowly put the gun down.
     "I'm sorry.. " I put my hand over his mouth to shut him up. "Its better to be safe then sorry." I grabbed his hand that was still on my wrist. He let go and I walked away to light some candles. "You can have the bed. That chair is way to tiny for you." He stood up slowly and walked to the bed rubbing his neck. "Um.. then, where are you gonna sleep?" He asked hesitantly with concern in his eyes. I turned around to face him. "I've slept enough."
     Before I could turn and walk away he took me by the arm and pulled me toward him. I bumped into his chest as I lost my balance.  I looked up at him. "You almost died yesterday. You need more sleep." Before I could say no he picked me up and carried me to the bed. As he laid me down carefully I turned on my side to face him. He laid down beside me and looked at me with exhaustion but with a hint of amazement.  "Never slept with a man before?" He chuckled.
     He put his arm around my shoulder pulling me to his chest. He whispered in my ear. "I'm sorry for the rough day but I'm here for you." I smiled to myself. "Thank u." I whispered back. He held me tight not wanting to let go. I laid my head on his chest. He soon relaxed and fell into deep sleep. I laid there for a while thinking of the day I've had.
     I woke up with Lucus's arms wrapped tightly around my waist. I tried to pull his arms away but his grip tightened. I sighed and laid their for what seemed like hours but it was only minutes till he woke. He smiled at me and kissed the top of my head. "Good morning, Sara." It feels like my breath has been trapped in my chest. I cant breathe or move. This is the first time he has ever used my name. I like the sound of my name from his mouth.
     Later I found him on top of the deck drinking a beer. I took the beer from him and took a sip. "The captain of a ship shouldn't be drinking and steering." He chuckled softly. "Well to be fair I'm not steering its steering itself. And it's not a ship it's a boat." I laughed with him. After we shared a few beers he got up n walked over to the side of the boat. He pulled a piece of paper from his pocket crumpled it up and threw it overboard.  "What was that?" I asked curious.  He shrugged and took my hand and pulled my to a chair. He sat down then pulled me down on top of him sitting me in his lap.
     I felt the sensation of the beer kicking in. Without realizing I started to trace small circles on Lucus's hand with my finger. He started to play with my hair pulling it slightly. I turned slightly still sitting on his lap. Without thinking I kissed the side of his neck, and gently biting the skin. He bit his lip slightly and started digging his nails into my hips.
     He got up off the chair picking me up with him holding me to his chest. I wrapped my legs around him waist as he took us below deck. He pushed me against the wall. I tilted my head back slightly as he kissed my throat. I started to dig my nails into his back. He has his hands on either side of my head against the wall so he doesn't crush me. As I start to claw his back he let's out a soft deep moan into my ear. I felt a shiver up my back that I couldn't hide.
     As he kisses down my throat towards my collarbone he softly bites and sucks on the skin. I feel the skin bcuz though and tender as it forms a hockey on my collarbone. He digs his nails into my hips more. He carries us over to the bed laying my down gently as he positions himself on top of me. I yank off his black tank top as my eyes trail over his chest and abs.
     As he takes my shirt off he smirks with amusement. I blush as I realise I'm wearing a blue bra with pink stripes and lime green spots. I blush a dark pink and he kisses above my right breast. I bite my lip hard to stop the sound that wants to escape my throat. I begin to run my fingers up n down his body. I smile as a moan escapes his throat. He leans down and kisses me roughly.
     The boat starts to rock back n forth hard. He looks up quickly and gets off of me. As he goes to the deck to see what's happening he gets hit by a crate. I jump up to see if he's okay. He pushes the crate off of him. He grabs my hand and we run to the deck. The boat has crashed into some sharp rocks and is being torn apart. The boat crashes again and we are thrown overboard and I go under losing sight of Lucus. Waves crash together over me keeping me under. I cant breathe. I try to reach the surface but cant. *I'm going to die for real this time..* I think to myself.
