POSEIDON II: REVENGE OF THE OCEAN

CHAPTER 2: BLAST
It was nearing midnight on the boat. Everyone was asleep except for Connor. The room was still and quiet as Connor read by a small flash-light. He was still pretty damned sure that it wasn't safe so that night while they were having dinner he snuck away from the table into the captains chambers. There he grabbed all he could find about the ship. The map of it. The design... He had tried to memorize every doorway and every passageway just in case but his memory was failing him so he grabbed his duffel bag. Dumping everything out of it he looked for necessary supplies just in case.
All of the sudden a knock at the door was formed. Connor walked over to it and opened it to find the little girl who was Elena's daughter. "Connor I can't sleep." She said remembering his name from dinner when he had gone off. "Why?" Connor asked her as she sat on his bed. "I keep thinking about what you tried to tell everyone. About this not just being a coincidence." Connor nodded at that and told her. "Just in case of anything. Im packing stuff that would be useful. ." Mia nodded. He put the maps rolled up in his backpack and then he go found a small bag of trailmix and some water bottles. On his way out the door to go bring Mia back to her room he grabbed a pocket knife and slid it into his pocket.
After bringing her to her cabin he was about to leave when all the sudden the entire ground shook. Everything fell onto the ground and Mia watched as her aunt got impaled by a chandelier. "AUNTIE!" She screamed suddenly the chandelier above her started to fall. Quick and just in the nick of time Connor grabbed her and pulled her out of harms way. More things clashed and as soon as the explosion stopped a woman's scream cut the air. You heard a loud thump and the screaming had stopped.
Connor grabbed Mia's arm and his duffel bag as he ran towards the source of the scream until he saw it had came from his door. "MOM!" He yelled as he barged the door open. The room was completely surrounded with smoke. "MOM!" He yelled again as he looked around franticly for her. "CONNOR!" He heard Dylan yell as he found his stepdad his leg being impaled by a chandelier. "DYLAN WHERES MOM?" He yelled since it was too loud to be heard otherwise. "SHE'S UNDER THAT PEICE OF WOOD." Connor ran towards the wood and sure enough he saw his mom's hand sticking out.
"BUT DYLAN WHAT ABOUT THE BABY?" Connor asked coughing as he pushed Mia away from the smoke. "OH GOD THE BABY!" Dylan yelled out in panic. Connor ran towards the door. "ILL GET SOMEONE TO GET THE CHANDELIER OF YOUR L..." Connor yelled but Dylan interupted him."NO GET HELP FOR YOUR MOM FIRST." Connor nodded as he ran into the hall. "CHRISTIAN." He yelled pulling him towards the room. "Connor wheres your parents?" he asked. "My mom's being crushed by a load of wood. You have to help her she and the baby could die!" Christian nodded signalling to Jenn and Jennifer followed pulling Robbie behind her. Christian entered the room and immediatly coughed.
First he grabbed the chandelier and threw it off of Dylan's leg. Dylan, Connor and Christian rushed to the wood and attempted to pull it off of Maggie. With no luck Dylan let go. "What if Jenn helped you guys lift the wood a bit so I could pull Maggie out. Connor nodded. "Jenn!" He called her and she ran over. On 3 Jenn, Chris and Connor grabbed the wood and lifted it a bit. But a bit was just enough to get Maggie out they had noted as Dyaln pulled her out from under the wood. Connor dropped the wood when his mom was safe and ran towards her. "Mom?" He asked scared. Jenn came over beside Maggie and everybody watched her. Even Nelson had heard the commotion and came to find out if Maggie was okay.
All the sudden Maggie gave a cough. "Umgh." She groaned. "Dy...lan" She said shakily. "Dylan is... Connor alright?" She asked without opening her eyes because it hurt to much. "Im right here Mum." Connor said touching her hand. Maggie opened her eyes and leaned upwards to hug Connor. All the sudden she cried out in pain. "Oh god Dylan the baby." They all stared terrified at her but in another moment the pain was gone. "Okay I'm alright." Connor and Dylan helped her too her feet.
"We need to find out what happened." Mia said as she grabbed Connors hand. All of them exited the room. "So what do we do Dylan." almost everyone asked turning to him. "I dont know?" He replied with a look on his face as he held Maggies arm steady. "I know what to do." Connor spoke up. "WHAT?!" Everybody asked looking at him. "I know what to do. I know the layout of this ship perfectly. Were on the bottom and the top is where we need to be." Christian nodded. "How many stories up is that." Connor looked glum.
"Atleast 10. Probably more."
I know I said they were on the top floor at first. But that was a mistake. I meant to type bottom. So ya they're on the bottom.
