1. Chapter 1

Prologue:

The ship was sinking, there was no doubt in that. Whether she was going to be able to get home was a whole other question. Even if she had made it on one of the boats. It could easily get lost out at sea.

Different scenarios ran through her mind as she waited in the line that seemed to be deciding her fate. She looked around trying to find her friends but there was no luck, she just hoped that they had already found themselves in a boat and heading for safety.

She rubbed her palms together and blew into them. It wasn't particularly cold but just the thought of a sinking ship sent chills down her spine.

Then the worse happened. The boat shifted, the last thing she remembered was her body flying through the air like she weighed nothing. She hit the railing and before she could get a grip she started to fall. To the dark abyss below her. To her death.
