Yes, I started a new one. headdesk Hopefully, you'll like it. Enjoy. :D
Mist clung to stay airborne as a large and ominous ship, gliding along slowly yet steadily, was making its way through the high seas that surrounded it. Waves reached out and clawed at the hull but the monster batted them away as it continued onward. It's spotlight fell upon the black mass, briefly changing it to a seemingly, manageable power. As the light left and scanned upwards, the mass swiftly changed back into it's menacing form. As the beam moved upwards to scan the horizon, the mist clogged it's light, blocking the eyes their farthest sights.
Inside the ship, electric lights made it seem like night and day compared to outside. A few people hustled about as they made their way through the hallways. In the bridge, a man stood firmly at the helm, pushing the ship along through the dark. Another watched the radar scan, as it was their mechanical look out, rubbing his tired eyes. The last figure in the bridge was a young, brunette woman in uniform who kept alternating between binoculars or her own eyesight beside the man at the helm.
She spoke as she lifted the binoculars in vain; her voices hard but with an underlying worry, "Anything on the Radar?"
Rubbing his eyes again, "No." Then a blimp on the radar peaked his interest for the first time in hours. He snapped to attention and started to examine it, "Captain," he looked up at the woman, "It's a ship…"
"Set our course. Close aboard."
He set to work with the ATON, to secure their safe passage towards the unidentified ship as they continued onwards.
The Captain picked up her radio, "Unidentified vessel, this is Captain Davies of the Bellerophron, Coast Guard. Identify yourself, over." There was a moment of pure silence and then static came over the radio. The Captain looked over at her officer.
With a shake of his head, "We're gaining on her position. We'll have visual in three minutes and counting."
Captain Davies sighed, "Hopefully, intact." She pressed her radio again, "I repeat, unidentified vessel, confirm your identity. This is Captain—" The Captain stopped. A ticking and tapping sound filled the bridge.
The officer at the helm looked confused, "What—is that Morse code?"
"Yes," Davies said as she listened fully, "They might've lost their communications." The tapping continued and the Captain deciphered it between the pauses. "All-Officers—including-Captain-are—dead lying—in chartroom--and bridge. Stop—Possibly-all—crew—dead." The crew's faces expressed their horror. The tapping continued through the dead air. "I can't make this out…it doesn't make any sense. It's not—" The Tapping came through again. "I-die." She looked up at her two officers, "How far?"
"N-not long. We should have visual." The spotlight scanned the area where the ship was to be. After the long night of searching, it found a solid structure. The light caressed the side of the ship as it found what it was looking for: The name of "Eagle Eye" written in bold along the ship.
Captain Davies picked up her radio, "This is Captain Davies of the Coast Guard ship, Bellerophron. We've found the Eagle Eye. Executing rescue as determined by a distress signal given. Over. "
Over the radio came a confirmation, "We hear you loud and clear, Bellerophron. Coming to your position. Over."
Davies turned and walked over to a phone and lifted it off its bed. She raised it to her ear, "All hands on deck. I repeat all hands on deck." She walked back to the front of the bridge where she scanned the Eagle Eye. It looked in pristine condition, like it had just stopped and decided to sit and rest on the top of the crashing sea.
"Captain?"
Davies looked over at the young officer, "We don't know if it's anchored or adrift. I want a crew on one of the boats to get over there and find out what's going on. Caution advised." With one nod, the officer gave the order. Davies narrowed her eyes and took a quick breath, "I'm going over there with them."
The sun started to creep up into the darkness, sending an eerie glow over the water as a small boat was lowered with the crew, including the Captain. As the boat touched the water, it seemed as if something magical fanned out across the sea. The sun rose a bit higher, allowing a bit of color to break through the eerie glow. The small little vessel hummed as it made it's way towards the Eagle Eye. The Eagle Eye was much smaller than the large Bellerophron who towered over all of them. The Eagle Eye was a small deep-sea vessel, so it made it easier for the crew to get onboard. Stealthily and cautiously, they crept along the Eagle Eye, a few with guns. Davies gave a few silent orders to search the ship as they wound their way through the halls of vessel. Davies made her way towards the cabin of the ship and pulled the door open. She stopped as her foot hit something firm while she was shuffling along in the dimly light cabin. As the sun rose higher, piercing through the glassed window of the cabin and spilling it's light inside, she saw bodies of the Eagle Eye's crew; their eyes wide, and horrified and their mouths open in silent screams. Davies couldn't hear it, but she was screaming.
Well, that's the teaser. I'll get the next part up as soon as I can write it. Thanks for reading. 3
