"Sirens lure you to sea with their song. I had to hold you down. I had cotton balls in my ears in time, but not you." Amy yelled over the wind, rain, and thunder.
She helped her up. One of three sirens swooped in with her huge talons. It had a beautiful woman's face, a draping white dress (the other two had blue and green ones) , and scaly bird's feet, claws, and huge white wings.
"RUN!" Amy yelled as she dashed to the captain's controlling quarters. AJ not too far behind. But the Siren in white dove down and grabbed AJ's waist.
"HELP!" She shrieked.
"YOUR KNIFE! FLIP IT OUT!" Amy yelled aiming an arrow at the siren.
AJ fumbled around in her pockets and finally found the red knife. She flipped it out and it grew into the bronze long sword, just as it did before. Now she an the siren were about seven feet... eight... nine... ten above the boat. AJ readied the sword and got an idea.
She tapped the Siren's claw until it noticed.
Sure enough the siren looked down. Right then AJ decapitated the monster. It bursted into a golden dust and sent her plummeting down. She literally hit the deck with a loud thud.
"Let's go before more come!" AJ signed and hopped up.
They grabbed their bags and ran to the control room where Amy ran.
Amy looked around perplexed on what to do or how to control the boat
AJ touched the many, many controls.
"It's a Hydroairy ship, easy peasy, lemon squeezy." AJ signed out. She involuntarily flipped levers and pushed buttons. She started to steer the boat!
"What- How are you doing this!?" Amy shouted.
"I have no clue, but I know what I'm doing. Just lemme do this."
The sirens crashed into the glass of the control room.
"You got this?" AJ asked.
Amy pulled out her bow and nocked an arrow.
"I got this." She said. She shot the siren and nocked another arrow. The monster desintegrated.
"Good luck." AJ signed to them.
Amy nodded his head, "You too, Cyber-nerd." With that she was out the door.
"Ok Ajax Aisha you've got this, you've got this." She looked out to the sea. "About seven more minutes from shore and then some to dock, apparently Amy's a good shot she can handle this and we are going to be fine. You are going to be fine." She thought to herself.
"We are going to be fine... hopefully."
After about ten minutes AJ got the ship docked and ready to leave. Amy came back to the room.
"The last one got away, I only got the one that was in here." Amy said panting. "Are we here?" She asked slinging the bow on her shoulder.
"Yep, let's go. Amy lead the way."
It was still pouring rain. They caught a taxi and drove as close as they could to the camp as they could. Then they started to walk in the middle of a patch of woods.
"Amy how long is this walk?" AJ complained.
"Ten minutes."
"Ugh." She signed
"Do you have a problem with living?" Amy hooked her thumbs on her pack pack straps.
"no."
So they walked... and walked... and walked for another good ten minutes, because Amy miscalculated it was now twenty minutes or more. They walked for another few minutes in the silence of the rain, but Amy stopped in her tracks.
"What?" AJ asked.
"Shh."
They both stopped and looked around.
"It's above us." Amy looked at the tree tops. They just swayed with the wind. Then the siren in green swooped down from the trees.
"DUCK AND RUN!" The two hit the ground and AJ ran following Amy.
AJ was just catching up when her prothetic leg got caught on a root. She tripped and fell onto the dirt. AJ managed to unhook herself, but wasn't fast enough. The siren grabbed her leg and dragged her up above the tree tops.
AJ felt around in her pockets for her sword but it wasn't there. She cursed under her breath. She pulled herself up and grabbed the monster's wing, making it fly down again. The siren dug in harder, digging into her skin. Then the siren unexpectedly let go and sent AJ falling a good thirty-ish feet to the hard earth.
She hit the ground with bone breaking thud, then a wave a pain swept all over her body.
Her vision wavered a bit ,but she saw Amy shoot the siren down, and them both come running to her. Amy slid AJ's backpack onto her own shoulder.
Amy picked her up by the shoulders. AJ let out a shrill shriek, her shoulder and ribs were in incredibly, terrible pain. Her vision blacked out and she went limp. She could still hear, but just barely.
"Stay with me, Ajax." But she fell into endless darkness soon after.
