This is my first fanfic so no flames with the reviews
I don't own anything
This is a story with most likely several chapters fallowing how I think Deryn's true identity will be discovered. Sorry this is my first so it is really bad. Please RR!
Chapter 1
The leviathan cruised over the ocean, heading towards Japan. Deryn pointed her foil ahead, her body at starting stance. The sun was high over head making Alek's foil glare. They had been standing like this for at least twenty minutes, staring each other to death. Finally Deryn couldn't take it anymore and lunged at Alek's chest. "he did a simple parried and poked Deryn in the stomach. "Delyn, you need to actually try not just look like a dummkopf." Alek said trying not to laugh. They tried two more times them gave up. "Mr. Sharp please report to the engine room, for repairs." The captain's voice rang out of no where after the third time. Then Deryn say a messenger lizard staring up at her.
1hour later
The engine room was hot and stuffy. She had made countless repairs on the engines but they just seem to keep popping up. She was about to make he hundredth repair when an explosion rocked the ship.
Alek pov
An enemy ship had been spotted just as dusk fell. It was about 500 yards away with huge guns and cannons clearly ready for attack. The first explosion rocked the ship, as the alarm was risen. The enemy ship drew nearer preparing to bored the Leviathan. Alek wasn't sure where the ship was from but it was obviously clanker. "Alek, what's happening?" Delyn had joined him at the rail, looking over to see the enemy. Alek and Delyn both received guns and was preparing to take aim at the advancing ship when a messenger lizard appeared at Delyn's shoulder. " The captain wants Mr. Dark and Alek to fire from the ratlines." The lizard squeaked. Dread filled Alek. He hated the ratlines. He had never even imagined that he would ever half to shoot a gun from the dangerous things. But orders were orders. He and Delyn went further down the ship trying to find a good spot to get the opposing ship's weak points. They began to climb down the ratlines. They both had harness on but they were flimsy and ripped. "Here," Delyn said, stopping half way down the ship's side. The two of them were located so they could fire, when the ship got close enough, at two of the enemy's cannons.
Deryn
"Now," Deryn shouted over the gun and cannon fire. Her and Alek took aim at the first cannon. It took over ten shots between the both of them, to take out the cannon. Sweat from the sun and the stain of keeping herself on the ratlines, dripped down her forehead. She had hooked her legs and her left arm around the ropes and fired with her right arm. After the first cannon was down she and Alek took aim at the second. Everything was going as planed until a stray bullet cut Deryn's harness line. "Alek, lets get back to the deck before- Ahh!" Deryn screamed as a bullet buried itself between two of her upper ribs.
