Chapter 00

Prelude

The morning started out like every other. Zack and Roy my current deckhands were setting up the gear for a long day of tuna fishing while I looked over maps and reports trying to pinpoint where to set up for the day. After breakfast I decided that we should follow the warm water currents south to the equator. But little did we know we were willingly driving into hell. And It was already too late to run.


"Dad?"

...

"Dad!?"

...

"Please dad don't leave!

Tears poured down my face as I ran after my father screaming. A large crack of thunder ripped through the sky and I watched helplessly as my father got into his truck . I knew I couldn't catch him but I pushed myself to chase after his truck as he drove further and further away.

The sound of rain made my mind numb. But I just kept running.

"Just keep running."

That's what he told me to do as a kid if I ever got into trouble.

...

"Just keep running..."


I jolted out of sleep in a cold sweat. I sighed deeply to myself breathing in through my nose as I pressed my hands to my face. My stomach turned as the boat lurched and groaned beneath me. I've practically lived on this boat since I was 17 but I've always managed to skirt by any storm. Up until now of course.
I trembled quietly in my bed hugging my knees as the pitched and creaked. I shook violently as a loud deafening crack of thunder rolled out over head. I rolled my shoulders back and looked over to my clock to see that read 1:56am in bright red flouresnt numbers. Well there's no going back to sleep in this weather. I slipped quietly out of the bed and pulled on a pair of black cargo pants.

I had paced for a few minutes in my room trying to calm down when I noticed the sounds of alarms coming from my captain's quarters up above.

"Great." I cursed huskily to myself as I tossed on a grey tank top and jogged up the stairs. As I pushed open the door I was welcomed by several weather alarms harshly shrieking in my ears. I pressed the kill switch for the alarms and read the weather reports.

I heard a sudden sickening crack and my stomach dropped. Just as my brain had reacted and understood what the sound ment. I heard a sickening Scream from below in the cabins. It was Zack. The Boats gravity dramatically flipped to the side and I heard a loud grinding noise right before my head hit the desk. I heard the sound of gushing water and low muffled voices. The corners of my vision were blurring to black and I felt someone grab me. As I fought for conciseness I felt water push against me and then all went quiet.


A/N

So. I'm having a lot of issues with authors block on this story I'm not sure why. I guess I just cant get back into the groove of writing something out. I've tried replaying the game and such to get inspiration but I'm still having issues. I've been thinking about restarting from the beginning and making chapters first persona and a lot longer. So thank you to all that have been waiting. I'm sorry its taking so long I'm just having issues on how I should approach the story without it being too "Mary-Sue".

Once again thank you, I love every one of you. Hopefully I can get this thing going again.
