Chapter 18:Fighting Rapids
Europe/Upstate NY
Leon gripped the pole and breathed in the misty air and hoped into the boat. "Please be a motor boat please!" Leon begged as he searched the corners of the boat. Leon than froze and pulled out a big motor and hitched it to the back of the boat. "Whatever that it, its time to kill it! Lets just hope this harpoon is big enough." he said and started up the motor. He drove off into the forbidden lake that the monster was in. Leon looked for a black shadow in the water but nothing appeared.

Sara and the kids ran up the steps and into a bed room with 2 beds and another door into the guest bedroom. It was in the roof of the house so it was shaped only. Pam walked up the steps with 3 rifles and one of Dave's revolvers. She laid the guns of the floor and hooked a right after coming up the stairs where a closet should've been. Pam felt around the wall for a slot and found it and reached into her back pocket and pulled out a key card and jammed it in. Bing....The wall side to one side and they entered with the guns and ammo.
It was like the safe room from that movie "Panic Room" but much more roomier and luxurious. It was really spacious and had a small door leading into a bathroom. A safe in the left corner, a fridge next opposite side of that,2 beds lining each side of the wall, and some boxes probably filled with clothes and more food, and a table on one side with a microwave and a racket with some paper plates and some cups. Sara laid the kids on the bed,"So its safe in here 100? No way in but from the inside right? And does Dave have a key too?" Sara said in a way,"Yes, you can only get out from the inside and you can't get in now, and no, Dave doesn't have a key but we do have a monitor that shows cameras in each corner of the house so we know when he gets home or if anyone gets in or out!" Pam said and turned to a panel next to the door and hit some buttons. Ten TVS came out of the top corner of the room on the ceiling and they all turned on, showing all of the house rooms. Then a TV came out in the corner and it turned on, it was a normal TV for the news and cartoons for the kids.
"Mommy, Aunt Pam, what is going on, I'm afraid..." Marcia managed to get out......She could say some full sentences sometimes...Boom, Swiisshhh...The big metal door locked and Pam sat down on the crates..Sara knelt down next to Marcia,"Yes, everything going to be alright, Uncle Dave might be coming and Daddy will be coming to keep us safe too......" Sara said. I hope he does..... Sara thought to herself as the kids ran over to the TV on the floor.

Light shown finally, darkness had died out and I awoke. I found myself on land next to the rapids. I saw my shotgun next to the river. "Its been 25 minutes since I got on land and woke up......I've got to think of something.." I was still in the ravine so I could climb but that would be to risky. I guess I'll just have to go for a swim again! I dived into the water and let the water carry me off. I felt the cold air and water against my body...It was COLD! I was just about to die if it got any colder! It was a long river I could tell you that........ I gripped the cold metal shotgun as hard as I could so I wouldn't lose it in the rapids again.
--------------------------------------
SPLASH! The monster came out of the water and went to gobble up the boat. Leon jumped to his feet and took the harpoon and aimed at the big, open mouth. The monster moved fast so it was hard to aim. Then, blump, out came dark fluids from the mouth where the harpoon hit and Leon stared at the monster which struggled in pain and it moved closer to the boat ready to eat it whole in spite it was in pain and bam, bam, bam, bam! Leon shot it while it's mouth was open and the harpoon stuck out to him. He grabbed it out of its mouth and it plunged under water again. Leon ignored the blood on the harpoon and searched for the monster again. "God, this is going to be a long and wet fight." Then the monster came back out and after he boat once more.
Leon aimed steadily and it came OUT of the water like as if it were jumping and it was just a blur coming toward the boat now! Holy shit....Bye.... Slice! Leon it in its throat! Dead hit! The monster was dead but it wasn't going down without Leon! It jumped and ate the boat whole! Splash!

I opened my eyes to see that I was alive and healthy (cold too). I was in the middle of a lake like place and I castle at one side and a cave at the other. Well, a castle is strange so lets go with that one! The rapids and water pressure was gone so I was able to swim freely through the lake and to land where someone's body laid lifeless......"Leon? Is that you?! Don't die man!" I begged and then Leon's eyes opened up. "Ughh....Mark? Is that...that you?" Leon said to me and started hacking continuously. "That castle must be where the president's is held. We've just got to get there."
Leon got up and shook my hand, he smiled and I knew he was glad that I was alive and not hurt. We walked in the direction of the castle now. "The Sea Master is dead.....Thank god." Leon muttered. I decided not to ask about it. We were very lose to be able to leave and successfully complete the mission.
