Seven gave a groan as he looked down at the murky water. Damn you, ship and your water and all your stupid monsters that lived here. Reluctantly, he dropped down, not even bothering to try and clean the water off his face.

"When I get out of this GOD FORSAKEN SHIP, I am murdering that jackass who got me the here. Squeaks, where the hell did you go?" He looked over his shoulder, seeing the girl look down at the water.

"Oh, so now you're getting scared of water. Whatever, good riddence, mangy fleabag," he snapped. Squeaks leaned down to look at the water, nervously tapping the surface with her hand. She reared back, snorting and shaking her head, before looking up with alarm.

"Squeak! Squeak, squeak!" She suddenly started to go off, making Seven growl. He looked behind to chastise her, before barely making out the speedy black sludge worm swimming on the surface of the water.

Seven went to let out a cry, before being tackled by the leech. He could make out the sounds of Squeaks letting out sounds of alarm before he was dragged under the water. The leech wrapped around his thrashing body, air bubbles coming off of them from the fast sudden movements.

The leech was the size of him, one bite and few sucks of blood an he was definitely dead. They were normally slow; but he suppose they were quick swimmer, hell he didn't even know they could swim!

Seven stopped kicking when he felt rings of serrated teeth bite and dig into his shoulder, nothing but a muffled scream of pain leaving him.

He closed his eyes, already feeling the prescious lifeblood being drained from him. He didn't know if he was going to pass out from the lack of air or the leech, but his vision grew darker with what remaining heartbeats he had.

The leech suddenly let go, unwrapping from him as it suddenly began to buck wildly behind him.

Six didn't know when she jumped, but one moment she knew she on the damp metal ledge and the next she wrestling with the leech under the water.

It shrieked angrily as she dug her teeth right behind its head, her claws holding the tube of sharp teeth so it couldn't get her. Black slime filled her mouth, a horrible gut wrecking taste coming from it. She didn't pay it any mind, biting and shaking its neck area as she wrestled with it.

The leech's tail tried to wrap around her, daring to hold her still long enough to suck the blood from her too. She remembered when she was first allowed out of the colony, watching a hunting team gathering one of these dangerous worms.

Her and Velvet had seen how a leech had attached on of the members, and how the other would bite right behind the head and cut it off. She was still too small to bite it off, but she continued to try her best to make it bleed out.

It was relentless however, continuing with its sharp cried under the water, making her ears ring slightly from its screaming right into her ear. It thrashed and thrashed, outraged by her actions.

Six hadn't paid much attention before, but the sudden need for air nearly made her want to scream. Her lungs felt like they were going to burst, the roaring of blood pumping in her ears.

She had to breathe. She needed to breathe.

Desperation started to overcome her actions. Instead of just trying to hold the leech's head away, she started to claw at it, raking her nails all over the head to try and kill it faster. Her teeth sank farther and farther, until...
