Hello people! This is a brand new story I made, and I hope you like it! This is based mostly on Cleo, but does have Emma and Rikki in it as well! Please leave a review, and I will have an update every Tuesday , and if the story does well, I'll start updating more like twice a week? This is only the prologue, so I know it's short! Anyways, please leave a review!

Prologue:

Cleo's POV:

I sighed, knowing there was yet another drill on our ship. This year, my school sent me on a trip to America to join Lewis at his studies. They thought that they would offer me a chance to do the same studies, since I got the Science award on my diploma. I couldn't believe that I would finally be joining Lewis, but I thought I'd be going be plane. The school's funds were low, meaning that I was aboard a cargo ship that was taking Australian products to America. Our route was passing in the Somali waters. Somalia was a poor country, meaning that there were known thief's searching in these waters for ships just like ours to steal money and items. That was why we were having a drill, no one took it seriously of course. I mean what were the chances? I slowly made my way down my corridor, to our place for 'lockdown'. They say if our ship was to be hijacked, we would go into lockdown and wait for it to be over. It seemed like a stupid plan to me, but – hey – it wasn't going to happen anyways. I crunched down in my corner, waiting for the drill to be over so I could call Lewis while I still had cellphone service.

"The drill is over, you may now go back to your rooms." The head of our ship announced. I sighed, relieved.

"Hey, Cleo?" One of the crew on the ship asked me.

"Ya?" I asked.

"Do you think we actually need these drills, I mean come on." He asked my opinion.

"I don't think so, I mean what are the chances of us getting hijacked?" I told him.

Another member of the crew spoke up. "Actually, there have been cases like that. I think we'd best be careful. They actually know of ships out there that are just looking for a boat like ours."

"Well, I'm going to get back to my cabin now, see you later." I told them, wanting to call Lewis, and wanting to get out of the conversation.

I closed my door, and dialed Lewis' number.

"Hello?" I heard Lewis ask.

"Hey!" I chirped.

"What's up?" He asked.

"Ah, not much, just waiting to get off this ship." I replied.

"I can't wait until you get here," Lewis started.

"Neither can I!" I replied.

"So how's it going over there?" I asked him.

"Not much, just some –"Lewis' voice cut off.

"Lewis?" I asked.

I glanced down at my phone, and in flashing letters I read, 'No service'. I groaned, knowing that we were now out of range of the service towers. I flopped down onto my bed, and waited.

"Alright, I'll just, wait it out, for three more days." I complained to myself.

Third POV:

"Captain!" One of the crew called over the calming waves.

"What is it now Jim?" The president of the boat started, "and I'm not the Captain; it's Mr. Phillips."

"Sorry," Jim admitted sheepishly. "But I see something on the radar."

"Like what exactly?" Phillips raised his eyebrows at Jim.

"Looks like another ship, but honestly it could be anything." Jim replied.

"Let me see that," Phillips shoved Jim away from the radar.

"Alright, get the crew up here." Phillips said, making the terrible mistake of specifying 'crew'.

Cleo's POV:

I heard rustling from the hall over, but dismissed it. Luckily, I was in a separate corridor from all the others; I was glad to have my space. I laid on my bed, and closed my eyes. I could almost imagine the gentle waves rolling outside. I wished I could've just swum, or gone by airplane but the school had to oversee that I got there; meaning they had to pay for my trip there. Suddenly, a voice came over the intercom; it sounded like it was from… Somalia. My heart raced as I jumped to my feet, my breathing became heavy, as I wondered why I wasn't alerted to start procedure.

"One must report to the deck, from the ship." The voice made out. There was a long silence,

"Fine, we'll choose." The foreign voice came over the intercom. My door busted down, and my heart jumped out of my chest.

"Come with us." A voice demanded. They grabbed me by the arm, and led me out of my room.
