Chapter 2
The waves kept coming as Lex regained his composure. He saw Ebony laying on the deck, knocked out from either the railing or the ground. Lex stood and looked at her for a moment.
She could die right now for all I care. She'd deserve it. She'd deserve it all
A bolt of lightning ignited the sky and illuminated Ebony's face. For a split second her face looked soft and gentle like Siva's. Lex sighed and scooped her up just as Jay appeared in the doorway.
"What happened?" Jay asked Lex suspiciously.
"A wave knocked her over" Lex brushed past Jay with Ebony in his arms.
Below deck the Mallrats were cRamped all together. Baby Bray was fussing while Amber tried to calm him. Jack and Ellie were trying to keep Brady amused. Darryl sat with a grin on his face while Trudy and May both rested on each of his shoulders. Ram and Slade were both bouncing a ball against the wall as the captain of the ship looked on wearily. Sammy was giving Gel a shoulder massage because she had gotten a knot in her shoulders from sleeping on the floor, which according to her no girl should ever have to suffer. And in the corner Salene and Lottie watched over Ruby intently. Suddenly a soaked Lex carrying a semi conscious Ebony entered the room with Jay soon behind them.
"What happened to her?" asked an overly excited Sammy. With out even glancing at Sammy Lex replied,
"Had a little fall is all".
Lex placed Ebony next to Ruby on the makeshift lifeJacket bed. (Life Jackets that they should all be wearing but they would get in the way of their outfits) Amber handed Bray to May and kneeled next to Ebony.
"Ebony! Ebony? Are you alright" Ebony made a gurgling noise. Lex tilted her head up to see if it would make any difference. She opened her eyes to see Lex and a look of shock spread over her face. But before she can say anything she got sick from all the salt water and spat up on Lex. Disgusted Lex backed away.
