CHAPTER 2

ABANDON SHIP

“He’s probably got a concussion,” Amber said.

“He’s fine. We need to get him up,” Trevor retorted.

As I slowly opened my eyes, I could see both of them standing over me. Lights were flickering, and I was lying in a puddle of water.

I reached up and took Trevor’s hand. He pulled me to my feet then I grabbed his shoulder to steady myself.

“You okay?” he asked. For the first time, I could see a real look of concern on his face.

“I think so,” I replied as I reached up and rubbed my forehead.

Warm blood stuck to my fingers, but the gash was small. I blinked my eyes as my vision clouded then cleared again.

“Ouch,” I grimaced.

“Abandon ship! Abandon ship!” the speakers suddenly blared.

“What?” Sherry gasped. “No…no they can’t be serious.”

The announcement played over and over and each time it became a little more real. With a deep breath, I looked at Trevor and tried to swallow back my fear.

“We have to find mom and dad,” I said in a trembling voice.

“Where’s the spa?” he turned to Sherry and asked.

She was still mumbling to herself, her face was pale and slack, her eyes empty. Trevor grabbed her by the arms and shook.

“Sherry! Where’s the spa? Do you know where the spa is?”

She focused slightly and held her hands up. Mumbling, she shook her head from side to side. Trevor glared at her then through his hands in the air and groaned.

“It’s on the deck below this,” Chase suddenly jumped in. “Come on.”

Sherry reached out and grabbed his arm. “Wait!” she slurred. “Co…Conner, I need to find Conner.”

“I’ll go with her,” Amber said.

“Okay…meet back here. We’re all gonna meet back here,” Chase demanded.

“What about Pastor Michaels?” McKinsey asked. “What about the rest of the group?”

The ground suddenly shook and an echoing crack exploded through the room. The ship listed hard to the side and then it felt like we’d been dropped from a ledge.

“We’ve gotta go!” I snapped angrily.

“I’ll get them,” Chase said. “We meet here in five minutes.”

With that, everyone took off. Chase, McKinsey, Trevor and I went one way. Sherry, Amber, and six other members of their church group went in a different direction. I felt like it was the last time I’d see any of them.

Hurrying, we made our way out of the kitchen and toward the back of the ship. People were everywhere, screaming and crying. The staff was rushing passengers toward the lifeboats and we cut in between them and bolted into the stairwell at the back wall.

Water poured down the steps and I could hear it collecting somewhere below. The ship was sinking fast. I bounded down the stairs three at a time until I came to the next floor.

I snatched the door open and rushed into the hallway. It was crowded and teemed with disarray. A ship that had been so quiet and desolate an hour ago was now writhing with neurotic confusion.

“It’s this way!” Chase said.

I wheeled around and followed. It was great to have him leading the way.
