Deep in a peaceful slumber just moments ago, Naomi was jerked violently from her dreams as the ear-splitting alarms began to sound. Every few seconds, the darkness was immersed in a harsh, blinding red light as the emergency alarms worked effectively to alert the patrons aboard The Buccaneer that something terrible was happening.
"God in heaven, what.." She murmured, rolling from her cot. Unfortunately at that exact moment, the ship heaved violently to send her sprawling onto the floor. As if the loud noise and bright lights were't violent enough to experience in the first waking moments, she gasped in shock as she was suddenly immersed in ice cold water. Perhaps 5-6 inches covered the floor of her quaint sleeping quarters and she scrambled to her feet, gasping hard as the bitter cold seeped into her skin.
"Sarah? Elise?" She shouted, her voice trembling in fear as she began to slosh through the room, finding their beds empty, not even slept in. They'd most likely stayed out late into the night in one of the bars on the cruise ship.
"What time is it??" She whimpered, grabbing up her alarm clock to see the flashing numbers of 2:03, the last time recorded before the electricity had went off to be replaced with the emergency generators. With little time to think, she grabbed up her keys, hair bands, and her compact from her purse- stuffing them down into her pajama pockets as she fled the room.
The instant she opened her door, more water flooded in up to her knees and she looked around wide-eyed to see people fleeing past her and towards the exit stairs. The hallway echoed with the noise of women and children screaming, men hollering as they fought each other to get up the stairs first. Every second the water seemed to trickle further up her legs, and it was then that Naomi realized that not everyone would make it up the stairs before her floor would succumb to the rising, invading ocean water.
Again, she screamed her roommates' names, her heart gripping in panic as she looked frantically around the corridor. Not watching her way, as the brunette whipped her head behind her to look, a man came barreling down on her. In his panic, he shoved her face first into the rising waters of the hallway, submerging Naomi in a dark, chilling abyss.
