Kara clutched at her wound as she held tightly to Lena's hand as they ran down the dark corridor.
"This is the way out," Lena told her, her voice shaking with fear as they saw the water rising.
"We have to find another way," Kara told her as she squeezed her hand.
The two women used all their might to break through a door, they signed with relief when they saw scared looking people glaring at them as they ran past.
"Looks like were on the right track," Kara said with a smile.
The two followed the crowd of people who were running towards the stairs that led to the top dock.
Kara stopped when she felt someone grab her arm.
"Kara?" Alex asked.
"Alex oh my God!" Kara said as she pulled her sister into a hug.
"I thought I would never see you again," she said as she pulled away. She gave a small wave to Lena before turning back towards Kara.
"We have to get to a boat."
"It's useless, they have all the exits caged off, "Alex told her as she looked down and saw the blood. "Oh my God what the hell happened?"
"I got shot, listen we need to get to a boat,' Kara told her as she tried to hide the pain.
Alex looked towards Lena who looked worried sick as she clutched tightly to Kara's hand. She nodded as she pushed past the crowd as she walked towards the guard. "Open this gate," she demanded.
"No one is allowed pass," he told her.
"Open the gate now," Alex said eerily calm.
"No one is allowed," he began to say before she cut him off.
"Open this fucking gate you son of a bitch!" she screamed as she slammed her hand against the gate.
"Alex!" Kara called as she pointed to a bench.
Kara nodded as she let go of Lena's hand to help her pull up the bench.
Catching on to what the sisters planned to do, Lena pushed people out of the way.
Kara gritted her teeth as they pulled the bench free.
"Hey what are you doing?" the guard asked as he stepped back.
"Okay on three," Alex said as she and Kara raised the bench.
"One!" Kara shouted.
"Two!" Alex shouted.
"Three," they both said together as they rammed the bench through the gate.
The guard ran off as the crowd rushed through.
"Let's go," Alex said as she jumped over the bench.
Lena helped Kara over before taking her hand and following after Alex.
It was chaos as passengers ran pass three women fear written on everyone's faces as they all scrambled to get to a boat or find a lost loved one.
"I can't find Maggie," Alex said panicked as she turned to her sister.
"This may be a bad idea but maybe we should split up, you go look for Maggie and get on a boat and we will keep searching for one ourselves," Kara said.
"It may be our only option," Alex said as she hugged her sister tightly.
"I love you Kara, we will be okay," Alex said as she pulled away before disappearing into the crowd of passengers.
"It looks like there are no boats left," Lena said in a panic.
"We will find something," Kara told her as she led through the crowd of scared passengers.
A passenger accidently knocked into Kara, hitting her wound causing her to cry out in pain.
"Kara!" Lena said as she grabbed her and pulled her away to a secluded spot with not many people. "You need to rest."
"We have to get to safety," Kara told her as her teeth chattered and blood poured from her wound.
"We will be okay, I'm more worried about you right now," Lena said as she looked around for something to stop the bleeding. She saw what looked like a blanket, so she went to grab it wrapping it around Kara as she lifted her shirt so she could get the wound.
"Its worse isn't it?" Kara asked.
Lena tried not to cry at the amount of blood and at how pale Kara had become, "You will be fine."
"You're a bad liar," Kara said with a sad smile as she cupped Lena's cheek.
Lena leaned into the touch as she placed her hand over Kara's.
"You're so beautiful," Kara whispered as she ran her thumb along Lena's jaw.
"I love you," Lena whispered.
"Hey don't act like this is the end," Kara told her as she struggled to get up, she leaned against Lena as she stood on wobbly legs.
"Kara I'm so scared," Lena whispered.
"I'm right here, we are going home," Kara promised her as she kissed her deeply.
"Maggie!" Alex called as she saw the women standing near a group pf people waiting for a boat.
"Alex?" she replied as she ran to the woman and pulled her into a hug.
"I thought I lost you," Alex whispered as hugged her tighter.
"This asshole isn't letting anyone else on. Even though there is plenty of room!" she screamed at him.
"Get back you animal's!" he screamed as he pulled out a gun.
"This is getting out of hand," Alex said as she grabbed Maggie pulling her towards her.
"We deserve a chance to live," someone yelled from the crowd.
"Please," a woman screamed as she clutched her crying child closer.
"Get back!" he yelled again as he pointed the gun at them.
Someone accidently ran into Maggie pushing her forward into him, he panicked as he shot her.
"MAGGIE!" Alex screamed as she ran towards her.
"Alex," Maggie whispered as she struggled to breathe.
"Stay with me," Alex pleaded as she held the woman.
Maggie cupped her cheek before closing her eyes as she breathed her last breath.
"NOOOO!" Alex screamed as she cried.
Everyone looked to the sky as flares shot through the dark sky. People huddled together for warmth as more ran trying desperately to find a boat. Some people were jumping into the ice cold water hoping to be saved by someone or something.
"Kara what are we going to do?" Lena asked as she held her hand tightly.
"There is always hope, we will figure something out," Kara told her as she kissed her forehead. She turned when she heard her name.
"Kara?!" Alex screamed as she threw her arms around her sister.
"What happened you're covered in blood? Did you get shot to?" Kara asked confused.
"Maggie she's dead," Alex sobbed.
"Oh my God," Lena whispered.
"How?" Kara asked.
"One of the deckhands, people are losing it," Alex sobbed.
"We may just have to wait for the ship to go down then,' Kara thought aloud.
The lights suddenly went out plunging the ship into total darkness, causing passengers to scream in terror.
"The ship is sinking fast, we have to find a place high up to settle," Kara said as she led Lena through the crowd Alex hot on their heels.
"Up there," Alex said as she pointed to the top of the ship.
"Perfect," Kara said as she led Lena towards it.
They all climbed up and got settled, "okay whatever happens don't let go of my hand," Kara told Lena.
"I won't," she promised as she squeezed it.
"Okay guys this is it," Alex said as she boat rose up.
They tried not to look as people lost their grips and plummeted into the ice cold water.
"Okay brace yourselves," Alex told them.
"Here we go," Kara said.
The women all took a deep breath as the boat went under.
As the water surged around them Lena's was pulled away from Kara.
She swam to the surface as she looked around for her, "KARA!" Everyone around her was splashing as they struggled to stay above the water.
"LENA?! ALEX?!" Kara screamed into the darkness.
"Kara?!" Lena screamed again as she began to swim.
"Alex?" Kara said relived as she found her sister, she tried not to cry when she realized she was dead. She turned when she heard her name.
"Kara?" Lena asked as she pulled her into a hug.
"You're okay I'm here," Kara told her as she began to cry.
"Where's Alex?" Lena asked not noticing the body.
"She's gone," Kara told her.
"I'm so sorry," Lena whispered as she wiped away the tears.
"We have to get out of the water," Kara said as she searched for something they could use.
"Over there," Lena said as she pointed to a door, floating in the water.
"Let's go," Kara said as she and Lena began swimming towards it.
They both climbed on as they lay there waiting for hope.
