Waves crashed against the ship, tendrils of greasy-looking seaweed coiled tightly around the railings of the wooden vessel. 

"GET THEM BELOWDECKS!" the captain roared, his voice cracking. Dark storm clouds crowded the air, cutting off the sun's rays from the water. Rain pounded on the swollen floorboards, a fierce, angry wind tearing through the layers of clothing that the rich had so carefully laced and buttoned. 

Men rushed around, ushering families belowdecks and rushing to the mechanism that could fail so quickly.  Even when the mast had fallen and the sails were torn and shredded, no one came. 

She screamed, the shards of wood and bone shifting so painfully in her foot. Tears were streaking down her face like the rain on the glassy lanterns. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. She gagged, coughing and begging once more.

Then, something split it all. 

The winds died, the waves ceased into a lapping. There it was--

Singing.

Lily expected her adoption to fix all her problems. Living in the developing City of Statera, she begins to question her true place on the floating piece of land. After what was meant to be a quick favour, Lily learns of a Sea wide exhibition accessible to boys only. Determined to make her way in, she enrols at Salen Academy for Young Men and Boys. But what will she do when a blue-eyed, dark-haired, mockingly rich and ever so egotistical boy, finds every waking moment to remind her that she is but a small pawn in a larger chessboard? At an all boys school. Entering an all boys competition. With a crew of all boys. You'd have to be one special girl. "You're a virgin." "Shut it Hazar." She spat. "C'mon, admit it for once Writt, you are an undeniable virgin." He scoffed. "Why do you care so much if I am or not?" She challenged him. He hesitated. But not for long. "I don't. I just like watching you squirm." "Oh that's a hobby of yours? Making girls squirm in agony of having to speak to you?" She was so fed up with him. "Well..." He mumbled, walking to an old portrait and running his finger along the dusty rim of it, "Making them squirm, period, is a particular interest of mine." "You're pathetic." She barked. He walked up to her, a few feet away from her body. "Say that again..." He hummed, in a faint whisper. "You're. Pathetic." She sharply cursed. He smirked, devilishly. "No Writt," Cas stepped into her space, nose inches away from hers, he took his right hand and dragged it up her thigh, "Virgins... are pathetic." He finished the sentence at her hipbone. Lily's breath caught as he ran it up her leg, she didn't like physical touch. From anyone. So why on Marine, did it feel so good, so right, when he did?

The boy had never been scourged by dread, not really, untouched still of startling agony to become his reality. He spotted the imposing cliffside meaning to change that by mere accident, kept in defiant remembrance still of this heavenly music descended upon Earth from Heaven, magnificent, majestic and entrancing, this blue ship which had came last night to conjure mystery and great brilliance vibrating with splendor and glory born, like summer sunshine brought unto gloomy night, unlike anything ever heard of. He paused in thought to look at what was dangling from these rocketed walls, instilled immediately by mortal agony. What encountered him there was awful, horrific, spun from his nightmare to turn to atrocious truth. They left a message for him, these strangers, a message for all mankind. All the people from the town were nailed on the colossal rock with obsidian spikes the size of fists, hidden in the darkness as horror always lurked there within. Blood, everywhere. The spikes ripped skin open, tore their bodies apart to let it be a grotesque image, the self-portrait of Death itself. Stiff pale limbs, grossly tangled together, a myriad of heads decorating empty space. A few mutilated legs and arms lay motionless on the bottom of it, of the mere terror, the waves had yet to reach and clean the crime scene, crimson rocks and red sand carnation furthermore. The details swam and blurred his view. He was thankful, for a glimpse sufficed a lifetime. When the dark ship came, it didn't only warn the people of the Destruction following behind, they carried it themselves, bestowing it willingly and with intent, purpose, unknown and arbitrary as it may seem regardless. People rumored among their crowds that they were in fact the cause, the real Bringer of Death. The Harbingers of Cruelty. The Black Squad, Side of Doom. Known perhaps better by their most famous name, the Skeleton Crew. _ complete

Cass has no memories of her parents, only impossible dreams of waves and orcas and, sometimes, her mother's voice. When she and her adopted aunt return to the Pacific Northwest island--where her parents died twelve years before--Cass hopes the place will trigger long-buried memories. Instead, she discovers that the impossible is real, and that history is about to repeat itself. Unless she can stop it. ***Teaser*** The water hit with such a shock of cold that Cass thought she was going to pedal up and out of it again like some cartoon character. Instead, she flailed and splashed and smashed one arm against a piling as salt water poured into her raincoat & filled her shoes. "How do you like it?" Jason yelled. She spun until she could make out his form, black against gray sky. "What?" she sputtered. She dragged one arm from the water long enough to shove wet hair from her face. Jason became clearer: black hair dark above his yellow raincoat, arms crossed over his chest. "What the hell are you talking about?" "I asked how you like it, going for a swim in this water." She was open-mouthed with disbelief. It was a bad idea; a surge lifted her and slapped salt water into her mouth. Bile burned her throat as she coughed and all the while she was still flailing at the water, fighting the drag of shoes and clothes to keep afloat. She should kick them off-that's what you were supposed to do if you fell into the ocean with your clothes on-but she was only a dozen feet from the dock. Besides, it was her only coat. Jason watched her the way she'd watch a barracuda. "I know you're following me." "Following you?" What. The. Hell. She gave a mighty kick and tossed her coat onto the dock. Jason just stood there. "I nearly drowned last week, you know that? Now you show up as if nothing happened." "Last week," Cass said slowly, "I was in Argentina." Whatever he'd seen, it wasn't her.
