Ryan gulped. That does not sound fun…. He disobeyed the girl's orders and looked around. "Look, I don't know squat about ships but can I help somehow?"

"Yeah," Cicada was holding back so many emotions so the sirens couldn't get to her, "Help Daso get us out of this storm."

"How?" Ryan ran to where the boy, Daso, was. "What do I do?!" He yelled over the storm.

"You know as much as I do about steering," Daso said with a carefree shrug. "Maybe adjust the sails. Yeah, that sounds right. Adjust the sails!" Then he frowned. "Also, who the hell are you?"

"He's Nobody!" Cicada shouted at Daso. Another siren boarded the ship. Cicada began to walk towards them.

He nodded at the girl. "Yeah, that's my name. What sail to I adjust?! How do I adjust it?!"

"Okay, nobody," Daso said, "I'll be honest. I'm a stowaway too. I still don't know anything about running a ship." He shrugged again.

"You need to adjust the main sail by pulling the ropes," Cicada shouted at both of them, "Keep it steady otherwise we'll lose control of our direction."
Cicada held her breath as the siren turned into someone else, "Help me Cicada. You said we would be together forever."

Ryan nodded, running to the nearest rope and tugging on it with all his might. Keep it steady….whatever that means…

"That's not steady!" Daso yelled, grabbing hold of a different rope and steadying it as well as he could. "Steady, as in, don't kill us, Nobody!"

"I'm trying! How the hell do I keep it steady?!"

Daso blew out an exasperated breath. "The ship, dumbass! I think." He made a face. "I totally know what i'm talking about."

Ryan groaned and just continued to pull on the rope. I have no clue what I'm doing…

The ship groaned and creaked as the storm battered it around. Daso didn't feel like he was doing much to prevent that.

He pulled on another rope nearby, trying to figure out what each rope was doing. Let's see…this turns the ship left and this one….turn it right as well? What the heck?

Morrigan was trapped, staring at the living, breathing firm of her little brother. Lucian was there too, grabbing her by the hand and leading her to the edge of the ship.

Daso clung to the ropes, his hands burning. He glanced around through the sheets of rain, spotting Morrigan heading towards the edge of the boat. "Damn it, Nobody, take over," he said, letting go immediately. The boat pitched, nearly making him lose his footing. He hurried down to the main deck. "Morrigan, stop! That's not Lucian!" He didn't know who the other siren was pretending to be.

Ryan put the two ropes he was holding onto in his right hand and grabbed the one the other boy had let go of with his left. He walked backwards, tugging on them and trying to fight the storm.

Lucian and David led her to the end of the plank, smiling kindly. “Come with us.”, Lucian smiled. “Please, Morri.”, her brother begged. “I can’t loose you again”. Morrigan never remembered being so happy in her life. She nodded, in a trance, and jumped off the side of the boat.

"Damn it!" Daso said again as Morrigan dove off the side. Without hesitation he dove in after her. The sirens instantly surrounded them both, trying to pull them under, and the waves crashed with growing intensity.

Out of the corner of her eye, Cicada saw Morrigan jump off the boat and Daso jump in after her. She turned to the siren and said, "i know I promised, but that was a long time ago."
Cicada jumped in after both of them, daggers out and began to fight for all three of their lives.

The ocean water splashed over him, drenching his body. Everyone seemed miserable as they fought the sirens and the waves. The rope burned Ryan's hands, but he held them tight and tried to steady the boat the best he could.

Silver had jumped in the water, trying to save anyone who had fallen overboard.

Her hair floated around her face serenely, and she looked around, holding her breath. “Don’t hold your breath.”, her brother told her. “It’s nice underwater.” She opened her mouth and took a big gulp of water.”

Daso wrapped his arms around Morrigan's waist and yanked her to the surface, struggling to hold them both above water. She wasn't fully conscious –had she sucked in any water? Suddenly, he was surrounded by three sirens. Leah. Dara. His mother. He hadn't seen his mother's face in seven years. God, she looked the same. No, he shook those thoughts away. Not real, he reminded himself.

"Daso get her back to the ship!" Cicada shouted at him, "I'll take care of the sirens!"
She steeled herself against her old friends and sank her dagger into the closest one.

As Ryan tugged on the ropes, he saw a familiar face in the water. The bleached blonde hair and blue eyes stuck out among the dark waves. Cade… His grip on the ropes loosened.

Daso snapped out of his daze. "Right," he replied, supporting her with one arm and swimming back towards the ship with the other. She was a dead weight, so it was a bit difficult. A siren grabbed his arm and tried to pull him under. It was Leah, grinning, "C'mon, Daso! Die for me. You know you want to!" He ignored her, calling up to the top of the boat, "Nobody! Can we get rope or something?"

It took Ryan a few seconds to process what the boy had said. Rope….right! He found a large rope and threw one end to the boy, attaching the other to a heavy metal thing. He made sure the rope reached them before he ran to the side of the ship, calling out his brother's name. "Cade! Cade, where did you go?"

Daso heard the kid shouting but ignored it. He took hold of the rope, swung Morrigan around so that she was on his back, kept one arm around her, and began to climb. His feet nearly slipped. The wood was slick with rainwater and the siren's fog was still in his mind. He forced himself to keep going.
