Ship: Black Hawk
Chapter 1: Storm's Warning
As early as dawn's call, the seagulls came at their destined time to feed on whatever food they could find. The sea breeze gently billowing across the ocean, sending ripples in the deep dark waters below. The birds calling to each other, flying high above the sky, like a circling halo atop the ships highest masts. The sun shone brightly, and glistened against the reflection of the pearl blue sea. The ship rocked gently against the slow languid movement of the waves, slowly pushing the ship further and further out to the ocean waters. The seagulls continued their cry into the morning air, and the Captain arouse from his soft bed. He quickly cleaned himself, and put on his usual attire. With a final look at the mirror, he grabbed his jacket, and walked out onto the main deck to prepare for another long day.
Tyson and the others continued to sleep even though the sun was almost blinding them through the half closed curtains that hung in front of the dusty battered windows. It didn't provide much of a view from the window, but it did help with the amount of light being let into the small cabin room. The room smelled faintly like old saw dust and the condition of the floorboards were absolutely horrific. The floorboards were soft and almost looked like they've been drenched in water. The sound of snoring continued to progress throughout the room, and the mattresses squeaked at tiny movements on the beds. Blankets were thrown over the sleeping figures, and their luggage lay forgotten by the corner of the door.
A barrel in the furthest back wall acted as an alarm clock stand, and Tyson's foot stool. His foot lay sprawled across the old, ancient barrel, and with his rhythmic snoring, it would begin to creak slightly. Vaguely aware of any of these details, the teens continued to sleep. A single blue haired teen arouse from his bed just then. He quickly rubbed his eyes, and eyed mischievously at the snoring teen, who thankfully lay across the room. Kai's bed was by the window, so if there ever was a need to jump out the window, he would sure be the first. But everyday with Tyson would make you want to jump out windows. He grabbed his bathroom accessories from his bag at the corner of the room, and proceeded to go to the bathroom. He stopped when he noticed a pile of clothing folded neatly at the foot of his bed.
Kai guessed that Captain Ramberg had wanted them in their uniforms for work; since they had he had agreed to let them come aboard his ship. With a sigh, he grabbed the pile of clothing and walked out of the room, not forgetting to close the wooden maple door behind him.
----------------------------
Captain Ramberg steered the ship happily as he proceeded to make his way towards his destination. He hadn't bothered to clean up this ship since his last voyage..and that was about..10 years back maybe. He sighed contentedly as the weather reflected his mood, and he continued to navigate the ship through the waters.
Ray had woken up due to some rustling nearby. He bleary turned around and saw that Kai was awake and fully dressed. Ray tiredly glanced at the alarm clock that now read 7:30. Jeez..I wonder how Kai could wake up so early? Ray saw that the others were still sleeping and Kai being awake made no difference to them. He ran a hand through his messy black hair, and scratched his head tiredly. He curled up in his warm blankets again, and squinted with the heavy amount of light. Luckily Kai's figure blocked the window, and all the light. Ray banished that thought away as Kai walked out the door once again, and Ray sighed and went back to sleep.
After what seemed like only a minute, Ray and the others were awoken to some rather loud screaming in the room. Max being the one sleeping on the bed next to Tyson, had unfortunately nearly went deaf. "YAGHHHHHHHHHH!" Tyson had yelled when he was rudely awoken by cold water being poured in his face. Kai smirked triumphantly and Tyson was fuming with rage. "WHAT D'YA DO THAT FOR!" He yelled. Kai merely glared at him and began to grin. "Well..since you didn't know that you're supposed to wake up..i decided to give you some help…and you seem to have broken the alarm clock…" Kai said as he eyed the now broken alarm clock, from Tyson's extra weight. "ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT I'M FAT!" Tyson glared back at Kai, clearly insulted by what he just said. "Why..no..the alarm clock suddenly broke under your weight.." Kai muttered sarcastically. Tyson was about to lunge at Kai, but he got tangled in his soaking wet blankets and landed with a thud at the foot of his bed. Max couldn't help but stifle a giggle, and immediately stopped when Tyson gave him the I know I'm doing something stupid but it'll help if you don't laugh kind of glare. Ray chuckled and decided to clear things up. "Okay since we're all awake now…let's not argue anymore and just get started on today's work ok?" Ray smiled when no one, not even Tyson had anything to complain about, so Ray grabbed his belongings, and headed to the bathroom.
Kai had left soon after he had woken Tyson up, and by now everyone should be awake. It was sort of odd how he doesn't see any of the crew around, but he supposed they were on lower deck. Kai turned around when he heard shuffling behind him and without turning around knew it was Ray. Ray walked up beside Kai and they both headed to the main deck to meet up with Captain Ramberg who didn't seem to be in any of the other rooms.
-------------------------------------------
As they reached the main deck, they were greeted by Captain Ramberg's cherry face. "Mornin' mates! Been up since crack o' dawn! Couldn't sleep! How d'ya all feel this mornin'?" Captain Ramberg asked kindly. Kai kept to his silent self and walked to the railing of the ship. It was old and worn out. Kai decided not to lean on the railing, and chose to lean on the back wall of the deck instead. Ray was left to answer all of Captain Ramberg's questions until Max and Tyson seemed to have finally shown up.
"Okay mates! All hands on deck!" Yelled Captain Ramberg as they formed line in front of him. "Aye Aye Captain!" Tyson yelled as he quickly saluted him. Ray and the others stared at him, and Tyson chuckled sheepishly. "I always saw people do it on TV so I wanted to try!" The others sweatdropped as Tyson chuckled happily. "Kay..first things first. Job assignments." Captain Ramberg said, as he heard Tyson and Max groan. "Max..you will be Cook's Assistant. We're low on Cookin' crew so you will go down to lower deck and help. Go n' introdude yer self. Ya got that?" Captain Ramberg asked sternly. He apparently didn't like to repeat things twice. "AYE AYE SIR!" Max yelled cheerfully as he did a quick salute and bounded off happily to the kitchen area in the lower deck.
Tyson wondered what job he would get but due to his superior skills, he would probably get the job of Assistant Captain or something. Tyson smirked triumphantly and couldn't wait to rub it in Kai's face when he gets such a cool position. His thoughts were cut short when the Captain coughed impatiently to get their attention. "Alrighty… next is Ray. Yer get position o' Crow's Nest." "Excuse me..but what's Crow's Nest..sir? Ray asked politely. "Well..yer climb up on the highest mast and look out toward the sea. Warn us when there's danger." Captain Ramberg explained briefly. Ray stared at where the highest mast was and grinned to himself. It wasn't quite as high as he thought, and he would get such a nice view from up there too. With a quick smile, Ray used his feline movements to quickly climb on the masts to his post of Crow's Nest.
Tyson began to get annoyed as Ray and Max got such cool jobs. Captain Ramberg probably saved the best job for him. He could almost imagine the smug look on his face..Tyson snapped out of his day dream as Captain Ramberg announced Kai's job. "Yer workin on main deck wit me..as the Navigator.." Captain Ramberg jerked his thumb toward the small cabin like room on the main deck where there was a whole lot of charts and maps. "I'll be steering out 'ere." The Captain said as Kai walked off to the Navigation room. "WHAT? IF KAI GETS THAT JOB THAT WHAT JOB AM I SUPPOSED TO GET!" Tyson yelled as his hopes of getting a cool job vanished. "Ah yer…the loud one rite? Yer position o' Cabin Boy." "Huh..? Cabin Boy..what's that?" Tyson asked as he dumbly scratched his head. "Basically u juss doin' some cleanin' round the ship." Captain Ramberg said and glared at Tyson as to warn him not to make a big deal of this. "ARGH…." Tyson muttered as he angrily ruffled his hair. "Mop's in the back..now get to work." The Captain said finally before returning back to the Navigation Room, and the wheel.
----------------------------------
After what seemed like an eternity, Tyson had finally finished mopping the main deck. His mop was all worn out from his angry scrubbing. Tyson dunked the mop in the bucket again and brought the mop out with a splash. Leaving a very wet puddle on the wooden floorboards. The masts and sails ha creaked gently, and Ray was contentedly staring out towards the sea. He let his golden orbs trail against the sea line and smiled happily, unaware of Tyson's bad mood down below. The wind had a stronger force now, but the weather was still in it's fine mood. Max, still working on lower deck seemed to much enjoy himself as the Cook once came onto Main Deck to comment on Max's performance. Tyson's mood couldn't have gotten any worse.
They had been working for hours on end now, and Tyson was beginning to feel his entire body ache. He had just finished scrubbing the windows of the Navigation Room and couldn't help but look inside. A twinge of jealously swelled inside him as he saw Kai and Captain Ramberg talking over the course of the ship. Tyson wanted to be apart of the conversation and to feel important and needed..not washing old stains off the window panes. "..course of the ship is off by 30 degrees to the west…" Tyson heard Kai say, as the Captain gently turned the wheel and the ship slowly veered back on course. Maps lay littered across the table, and weird instruments lay upon dust covered shelves as if it had not been used in years.
As Tyson returned the mop to the storage cupboard, and finished drying off his hands. He thought he had heard a scurry of feet up above him. Tyson climbed the stairs that lead to the Main Deck two steps at a time, and was greeted by a chaotic scene. Crew members were hurrying this way and that as if their life was depending on their very movement. "TYSON!" Max yelled over the rush of people. "Max…what's going on?" Tyson asked. "I'm not really sure..they just called all crew members to Main Deck and now everyone is panicking…" Max replied.
Suddenly, they saw Ray and Kai rushing towards them. "Kai! Ray! What's the problem?" Max and Tyson asked. The wind had now shrieked across the ship's surface rocking it back and forth as if it were nothing but a mere toy.
"Storm's here." They said.
