Chapter IV
A few hours later the had got the ship flying up and ready, the breeze blew through Mayas hair as she leaned against the sail. The gentle rumble of the engine lied under their feet, Tyler rested on the edge, looking upon the night sky. Captain Culpepper used only the stars to guide them along the way home. Suddenly a shooting star danced across the sky, a thought lingered in Maya’s mind, would they ever get home? The waves crashed back and forth, lighthouses were luminescent. With a beam of light shooting into the starry night sky.
At that moment the sky darkened, clouds collided as torrents of rain dripped onto their heads.
“Quick! Let’s make our way into the cabin downstairs” suggested Tyler
As the were making their way down, a peal of thunder and a flash of lightning bolted across the sky.
Tyler struggled to find the light switch whilst Maya was bitterly cold.
“Grab the blankets!” Cried Captain Culpepper from his helm.
Just as Maya was about to sit on the bunk bed a ghostly whisper alarmed her. A shiver crawled down her spine removing all the other thoughts in her mind. Footsteps froze the silence.
A black outline emerged out of the darkness, something or someone was on their ship. Whatever it was its figure casted an image in Mayas mind, its body replicated a bird, or griffin. It’s eyes were a blue radiant with a hint of yellow. The twins slowly backed away from the body until they hit the wall.
“Captain Culpepper! Captain! Screamed Tyler
“Help!” He chanted
The thing swung its tail across the room as it went and made a hole through the sail.
“Everyone hold on! We’re going to crash I can’t control the ship anymore! Said Captain Culpepper
The alarms sounded and alarms were ear- splitting. A crash caused them to sink at the bottom of the ocean … everything went black.
