(Currently in the sea of Vapir)
Zak had been feeling off ever since he had gotten up this morning. His head was pounding so hard he was sure it would explode any minute. He did his best to hid this from his crew, he was their captain after all he couldn't be seen as weak. Calabrass especially would never let him hear the end of it.
"Any since of a vortex to Beru, Cece?" Zak asked his first mate. He was standing at his usual spot behind the wheel guiding the Chaos
"No Zak I can't see any at the moment," replied the Atlantian.
"Nothing on the raider either," added in Caramba, "Oh, we are never going to get out of here." He complained.
"Ai the sea of Vapir is the most dangerous of all the seas, as it is the one that is the easiest to get lost," chimed in the magical sword, Calabrass.
"We are going to get out of here," claimed Zak his vision started to blur, "We arrrethe best seathatsailed the…." Zak's words were cut off as he collapsed onto the wooden deck.
"ZAK!" all the vocal voices of the crew exclaimed.
"Is he dead?" asked Clovis as he tried to pock his captain.
Cece bent down next to him and placed her hand on Zak's forehead. She retracted her hand quickly, "He is really hot."
"Crogar dump bucket of water on Captain. Then Captain not hot anymore," offered Crogar as he had a bucket ready to use.
"No!" exclaimed Caramba holding his mechanical arms up towards the Viking. "Zak is sick we need to get him to bed and then we need to find a way to bring down his fever."
Under Caramba's instructions Crogar carried his captain to his bed placing him gently on it.
For the time being Cece carried Calabrass on her back.
With Crogar's help Caramba removed Zak's vest and shoes. Getting the bucket of water Caramba began to gentle dab the boy's forehead.
"Is he going to be alright?" asked Clovis concern for his friend etched into his voice.
"I don't know," replied the alien, "I don't know what has made him sick."
"We need to get Zak back to Martuga," stated Cece. Taking charged she ordered Caramba to keep looking after their captain while her and the rest of the crew continued to search for a vortex back to the sea of Beru.
….
Hours later Cece had taken over from Curamba. She gently dabbed her captain's forehead with a damp cloth. She hadn't realised until this point how much he actually meant to her.
A few moments before Calabras had told her what he had discovered about Zak's sickness. There was a small inflamed mark on the back of Zak's hand. Curamba had said that it belonged to a very rare insect that happened to live in the sea of Vapir. Apparently Zak must have been bitten at some point while they were in this sea. Unfortunately, there was no known antidote or cure. Fortunately, it was rarely fatal. It causes the victim to obtain high fevers and become very sick. With the proper care, however, most people recovered within a couple of weeks.

Jenny was clinging tightly to her friend Melissa. She was out on a small sailing yacht with her parents and a few of her friends. There was her mother Jayne, her father Brady, her best friend Melissa, another friend Jarod and the boy she had a crush on Matthew.
It was the weekend and her parents had offered to take her and her friends out sailing. It had started off as a really nice day and they were having a lot of fun. That is until a tunnel of water appeared. They had managed to make it through unscathed. Once reaching the other side they quickly realised they had gone a lot further than they thought.
It was really creepy. There was a grey mist as far as they could see. The water seemed to be tainted green. Worst of all there appeared to be shadows moving around out of their sight. There was not a sound to be heard except for the water brushing against their boat.
Where were they?
So what do you think? Keep writing? Also does anyone know what country Zak is from? Or where he was when he fell into the Barmuda Triangle?
