Vincent looked down in the water, seeing a large block of ice. He went to see Claude and raised an eyebrow. ''There's ice now, did we really travel that far?'' He asked, crossing his arms over his chest to get more warmth. ''We did.'' Claude answered simply as more ice kept coming but the ship had no problem going through. '' I would suggest to wear something warm or to go Inside since the temperature will drop significantly by now.'' Claude replied, putting another coat around himself before taking the helm again.
The boy was laying in his bed, looking at the wall in front of him. It was becoming colder every minute, so he put on a second coat and pulled two blankets around himself. He kept the hat against his chest and he pulled out the compass, looking how the arrow spinned around in every direction. Claude was saying the truth, it wasn't going to show where the locker was. He closed his eyes and pressed the hat closer, falling asleep soon. He didn't mean to fall asleep, but he was exghausted.
''Alois, I'm cold!'' Luka complained, hiding under the blankets he had. '' Here Luka, drink this. It's only hot water but it will keep you warm.'' The boy took the cup of water carefully, drinking it slowly. Alois went in the room where Ciel was and brought him a cup of hot water as well. ''Ciel, don't fall asleep when it's cold like that, it's always dangerous.'' He replied, shaking his shoulder gently. ''The captain said that it should get warmer in a moment, it was only a bad time to go through but no one froze to death so that's good.''
Ciel opened his eyes and looked up at Alois, yawning. "Okay, okay." He sat up slowly and took the cup, drinking the water calmly. It warmed him up, and he wasn't so sleepy anymore. "Great, I'm glad that no one died. I wouldn't like Sebastian's crew to die in this place." He sighed softly and set the empty cup down before he pulled Alois in the bed, cuddling close to him. "Have you ever missed someone really badly?" He murmured, looking at the blonde sadly.
The blonde wrapped his arms around Ciel, stroking his hair gently. He smiled at Ciel to cheer him up a little. '' Not really...I never knew my parents so I can't miss them but I would miss Luka alot if I would lose him. But you didn't lose Sebastian, we're going to find him. I'm sure that he's thinking about you too right now.'' He said softly, looking at Ciel amused. '' I think we can say that you didn't get into the easier relationship.''
Ciel nodded. "I see." He sighed. "But what if.. What if we won't find Sebastian?" He buried his face in the blonde's chest. "I hope he is. I hope he didn't forget me while being there." He murmured and closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth of cuddling. "I didn't. But I'm glad that I fell in love with him. He's seriously amazing, no matter how annoying he is sometimes." He chuckled and sighed softlly.
They both fell asleep when it was getting warmer and woke up in the evening when Luka entered the room. ''The man said to get on the deck.'' He pulled the nlonde's cheek to wake him up. Alois groaned and opened his eyes. ''Why?'' The little boy shrugged. ''I don't know, that's all he said. Everyone is on the deck, come on.'' He raised an eyebrow, looking at Ciel and sighed, following his brother who took his hand to bring him outside. It was dark and he immediately looked around. ''Wow, so beautiful...is this even real? Everything is so calm.'' The sea was so calm that he could see the stars in the sky reflecting in it like a mirror.
The boy woke up just after Alois and he groaned with a small frown. "Fine." He got up slowly and put on the hat before following Alois out of the room. He looked around and bit his lip. "It's really pretty." He smiled and walked over to the railing, looking down at the calm dark sea, enjoying the view. "But why are we on the deck?" He went to Claude and poked his shoulder. "Why did you call us here? To enjoy the sight?" He asked and sighed.
Claude smirked at the question. ''Indeed...to enjoy the calm before the storm.'' Vincent looked ahead at the horizon and widened his eyes when he understood where they were going. ''There is a waterfall ahead! Slow down or we're going to fall in the precipice!'' The captain remained calm, not changing the direction and he looked at everybody. ''You wanted to go in the locker? Well, we're going in the locker.'' He grinned as the ship started getting faster on it's own because of the current. ''I would suggest to hang on on something.''
"What?" The boy frowned, confused. He widened his eyes when he saw the waterfall. "Oh my god." He muttered and moved away. "Alois, Luka, come on!" He pulled the two to the railing. "Hold on tight! I don't want you two to die!" He gripped the railing next to them and set his hand on the hat, not wanting to lose it. He knelt down, so that it would be better to hold on. "And when we start falling, hold your breath. It's important." He said to the two before he closed his eyes tightly. Just as they started falling down the waterfall, he held his breath, knowing that some water might get in when they crash down. He gripped his hat and the railing tighter so that he wouldn't fall down.
Alois protected Luka the best he could, kneeling down as well as he gripped the railing nect to Ciel. ''This is insane!'' He yelled before they started falling down. His heart skipped a beat and he closed his eyes tightly, taking a deep breath and pinching Luka's nose to prevent water from getting in. Everything went black and after a long fall, the ship plunged in the water. He broke in pieces at the impact and got sompletely immersed. Alois swam back to the surface, pulling Luka up as well. ''Luka! Are you okay?'' The younger coughed some water and sobbed, holding on Alois tightly. The blonde found a large piece of wood from the ship and placed the boy on it. He looked around in the darkness and saw Ciel's head at the surface. ''Ciel! Over here! Can you swim?''
Ciel forced himself not to scream when the ship came crashing down into the water. He got to the surface and he gasped for air, panting heavily. He began swimming clumsily, trying to swim just as Sebastian taught him. He found a piece of wood and held onto it before he realized that his hat was underwater. He immediately dived in, no matter that he didn't really know how to swim. Once he found the hat, he tried his best to swim back to the surface and he put the hat on, looking around. "N-not really! But I'll manage!" He gripped the piece of wood and moved his legs in scissor motion until he was next to Alois.
