Thread: Relentless (Reno x Lila Lupin)

The Keeper roared as it clawed at the Domina, just barely missing the sails. Careful men! Avery cried as a tentacle rose from the water. She'll sink us if we aren't careful. The tentacle reached out, moving to snatch Amira from the ship. The rocking of the ship amongst the tumultuous waves caused Amira to fall down, just out of The Keeper's reach. The crew manned their posts aww best they could and soon the cannons were firing, making the beast wretch back with a mighty roar. Amira cautiously stood back up with no small amount of difficulty as the waves crashed and the thunder roared. Captain, we'll never make it! One of the men cried as the beast clawed at clawed at the ship again. Avery turned to her first mate as she held onto the railing for dear life so she wouldn't be thrown over board. ANDRE! She called out, gaining his attention for a brief moment as the crew rose to fight the creature off. Aye, Captain? The large dark skinned man responded. Should something happen don't come back for me. She said earning herself an confused look from him. Captain? You heard me. She spoke with an air of command to her. If they take me do not come after me. She seemed no less confused by this statement. We've surely made an enemy of them and they'll take this ship and put you all to death if you encounter them on the seas. She added with no small amount of seriousness. Follow them unseen. She commanded. And come for me on land. She smirked. You'll have a better chance of making it out alive that way. Andre looked at his captain with a grave expression. Is that an order captain? Aye it is. Avery made her way towards Amira near the aft. The waves crashed against with an increasing force and it made her wonder if The Keeper itself hadn't struck them from beneath the waves. It was with no amount of ease that she made her way to Amira's side. We need a miracle, Amira! She yelled over the wind and the waves. Amira nodded as watched a mighty tentacle reached towards them again. Avery pretty go of the talking to push Amira out of the tentacles grasp, but at that moment a mighty force crashed against the side of the ship throwing Avery from its deck. CAPTAIN! Amira shouted as she reached for Avery. However her reach fell short and Avery feel into the waters near the island's shore. At that moment Amira knew she had to do something and so she opened her mouth and began to sing, not to distract or hypnotize a crew, but to call for help. As The keeper heard her song it stopped it's thrashing and the waves began to calm a bit. Her singing continued as the Domina moved to make her escape. It was as she sang that the sound of voices arose from behind The Keeper drawing its attention from the Domina. By the gods! One crew member shouted. The mermaids have come to our aid. As the mermaid continued to sing The Keeper turned away from the Domina. As they slowly swam away The Keeper followed them and the storm ceased, the winds slowing as the howling ceased and the waters began to still. Do we go back for the captain? One of the men asked as the crew turned to Andre for direction. No. He answered causing a grumble to raise from the crew. We can't go back for her outright. We need to sell shelter from the Wraith's view and send a small group ashore in secret. They'll go after her but I'd they can't retrieve her we'll wait till they take her and follow unseen till they dock. The crew grinned at his words. Then we take her back and give them hell. The crew cheered and with that they moved on to hide from the view of the Wraith. Avery coughed as she drug herself ashore. This was most certainly not what she had prepared for. Sure could well be stranded on this island. She'd told Andre to leave her and there was no telling if Peter would come back or not. With that thought in mind she stood up from where she laid on the same and began her trek into the jungles that lay ahead. She needed to find shelter for now. After all there was no telling how long she'd be stuck here.
