·§·Camp Half-Blood·§· 1x1 Sparks Fly and Fallen

[valiant.]

(Great. )

Kyra felt a leak spring above her head and her eyes stung. Salty water poured over her, drenching her and her clothes. So much for staying warm. Eric grabbed Paris's hand and started to pull her towards the door, yanking it open when he reached it. Hosanna let out a squeak, burying deeper into the hem of his shirt. The cold air surrounded him but he pulled her onto the deck. Kyra started to follow, Zephyr already on the deck.

[wolfie.]

Once Paris and Eric had reached the deck, Paris hesitated as to wether or not to let Eric's hand go. It was only when the boat tipped even more with a sickening lurch that her hand tightened around his. She stood next to him, her blonde hair wet and plastered to her head and back. She was dripping wet and extremely cold. She looked over as Tsume appeared, Titan still at his side. The wolf stood braced next to him, not leaving Tsume's side.

Kyra shivered as the wind reached her, Zephyr sensing it and rubbing up against her legs with a warm touch. Eric gently pulled Paris up the deck until he reached the top. Leaning over the railing he peered into the churning water. This was not good. Zephyr morphed into his hawk state and took flight, looking down at them. Making sure Tsume was there as well Kyra swung her legs over the railing. The only thing they could do was swim. The ship was going down to fast. Taking a breath Kyra pushed herself off the railing and after falling a few feet hit the cold water. Eric looked at the others and started to swing his feet over the railing.

[wolfie.]

Paris hesitantly swung her legs over the rail as well. "Whywhywhy?" she whispered to herself, guessing the result of this. She looked over at Eric, fear in her eyes. She counted to three in her head, as well as with her fingers so Eric could see she was about to jump. When she reached three, she forced herself to jump into the water, not giving herself the chace to change her mind. When she returned to the surface, Tsume was already in the water. She looked up to see almost all of their daemons had taken flight. It was only when she didn't see Night that her face paled and she began looking beneath her in the water.

Kyra treaded water, shaking violently. There were following splashes which told her Eric, Tsume and Paris had joined her in the water. Eric sputtered as salty water filled his mouth. He treaded water and looked to Paris, seeing her pale face made him shiver even more. "What do we do?" he asked them above the slapping of water. Kyra winced as hail pelted her, not really wanting to answer. There was a huge creak and the ship was swallowed by the waves. So much for that. Kyra's icy eyes wandered to Tsume, wondering if he had any more brilliant ideas. It was only her stupid instincts to jump into the water.

[wolfie.]

"Can anyone's guardian swim?" Paris asked, her voice shaky as she spoke. She was trying to find a good reason for Night to remain one of her common forms instead of the creature she became when she went in the water. Tsume seemed to understand when Kyra turned to him. He shook his head in disappointment, not having a clue as to what he or his daemon could do. Maybe they would have to use their daemons to fly out of here, but he knew that they would tire easily, and it would only end in them once again returning to the water.

[valiant.]

Kyra glanced down at the waters surface, they were screwed. She could see Hosanna still hiding in Eric's hair, Zephyr and Titan in the air above them... but where was Paris' guardian? The hail and rain was increasing and it would only be a matter of time before something worse started, such as a tsunami or a whirlpool. There was a splash and Kyra craned her neck. There was something in the water. But what? There was another splash and Kyra bit her lip, her face pale.

[wolfie.]

Behind Paris, the muzzle of a huge sea creature silently broke the surface of the water. At first, Paris couldn't understand Tsume's look of horror, but she suddenly felt the hot breath on the back of her neck and froze with fear. Swallowing, she turned slowly to see Night towering above her. "Night?" Paris managed to choke the name of her guardian out. She could feel her stomach twisting as she hoped this was Night, and not another creature that had been lurking around in the water.

[valiant.]

Kyra and Eric were both rigid in fear. Was it Night? If not they were almost considered dead. Zephyr let out a loud shreech, diving closer to see what that was. A piece of hail the size of a baseball hit Kyra's cheek bone and she winced. Zeus was purposely trying to destroy them. Why? They hadn't done anything wrong, or had they? "P-Paris..?" Eric stuttered, still staring at the creature, petrified in fear. It had to be Night, he hadn't seen the guardian in the sky or beside Paris.

[wolfie.]

Paris reached one shaky hand up, struggling not to shrink back with fear. When Night pressed her muzzle to Paris' hand, Paris let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. She rested her hand on Night's rough skin for a moment, her mind still registering the fact that if this hadn't been Night, she could have easily became a snack, along with Tsume, Kyra, and Eric. Paris glanced over her shoulder at the others, trying not to quiver. "It's okay. It's just Night." she said, hoping she didn't sound as fearful as she thought she did.
