Eli swore she had to have a bloody death wish. He had just wrestled his way onto the deck in time to see his best friend throw herself overboard. What was she thinking?! How many times did he need to see her kiss death? They always said that they were going to burn in hell together. Maybe that day was going to come sooner than they had planned. That didn’t mean that she always needed to annoyingly flick the devil’s horns.

A growl sank out of his clenched teeth. No. Today wasn’t the day. She wouldn’t die. Not on his watch. He crept to the edge, hoping for a better look without toppling over it himself. Flailing arms assailed his vision as he caught a glimpse of raven colored hair. Little screams were snuffed out as a huge wave pushed Malachi under its mass. The rope attached to Aerity tugged as he saw her struggle to stay above water. He watched her fight towards the child, wave after wave dragging her under.

She was the most determined person he had ever met. Even if most of the time it wasn’t a good thing. If nothing else, he would give her that. If she made it out of this alive, that is.

He clawed his way higher up her body, simultaneously pushing her body under. She bobbed under the water, her arms and feet struggling to stay afloat.

“Help me pull them up!” Eli yelled to anyone around who would listen. Three pairs of hands grabbed the rope around him as they all heaved against the heavy strain. The boat still rocked violently, as they struggled to keep their footing solid. One swish of the boat and their hands slipped, the rope slid back down their fingers. Planting their feet, Eli and the others pulled again, the water resisting their efforts. The rope burned and chafed at his hands, but he couldn’t feel anything. All he could think about was getting her to safety. Another wave jostled, almost throwing them all overboard but they stood their ground as they saw a sunken form emerge from the water with a giant barnacle clinging to it for dear life.
