Chapter 6
Scarlett's POV
I had heard of a rogue wave before, I head it on the movie Poseidon. It was what flipped the ship upside down. Does that mean that the same thing was going to happen here? I knew I shouldn't have sat so close to the captain and now I wish I hadn't. I look up as Dodge makes his way to Munder and I and he looks scared out of his wit. Just as he is about to say something that is when the wave hits. The ship is knocked instantly and starts to fall onto it's side. I feel both Dodge and Munder grab onto me as we start to fall. I didn't know I was going to die like this on a ship in the middle of the ocean.
"You're not gonna die." I hear Munder tell me as he makes me look at him. "You hold onto us and we'll make sure of it."
How in the heck can he stop me from dying I mean honestly? Finally we feel the ship start to turn over more so that is almost completely turned over. That's when we start to fall well slide really. Somehow we were on a wall and slid to the top of the ship which was now the bottom. Once we make it there I barely lift up my head from their embrace and look around to see all the chaos.
People all around me are dead, I see people trying to help loved ones up and see others putting jackets over the faces of the dead. I look back to Dodge and Munder and see they are both alright. I breathe a sigh of relief only to have fear come back into me. My cousin Susan.
"Susan, I have to find Susan." I say as I look around.
"Believe me when I say you don't want to." Dodge says with a low voice.
"What do you mean?" I ask him.
Dodge looks behind me and into the distance, I follow his glance and see Susan's lifeless body on top of a table with the legs going right through her mid-section. I quickly put my hand on my mouth because I have a feeling I am going to throw up. I look around and see Dodge and Munder just focusing on me, that's when a dark green light fills the room and in one flash I look around and see that all the survivors are now on the floor dead, all but me, Dodge, Munder, Jack and the crazy woman. What in the world is going on?
"Well seems like she is something not of this world." The woman says to Jack as she stops what she is doing with the captain's hand. "Maybe you are an angel?"
"What the fuck is she talking about?" I ask Dodge and Munder.
"Oh dear little girl, we aren't humans we are quite the opposite actually Jack and I are called collectors and those two beside you are his little helpers." She says with a wicked laugh.
I stand up away from Dodge and Munder and look around the room, all the countless people who were just murdered in cold blood right before me. I look back to the woman and know she is the cause of it. I didn't know what to do but then a feeling that I had never felt before came forward. No grief or pain nothing just calm as I looked back up at her.
"Victoria, leave her alone she doesn't know what she is." Jack tells her.
Victoria now moves up to me and picks me up by my neck and looks me over. Her grip tightens as but I put my hand on her head and she yells out in pain.
"Scarlett?" I hear my cousin's voice call out for me.
I blink twice and everything is back to normal, just my cousin and I sitting alone by the pool. Was that a vision? What the heck is going on with me?
"Sorry, I just think I am going to go take a nap." I lie to her as I walk away from the pool.
I walk inside and start to look for Dodge, Munder or Jack because now I wanted answers and I wanted them asap. Lucky for me I just happen to run into Munder, I pull him inside a restroom and he looks at me completely shocked by what I am doing.
"Scarlett?" he asks me confused.
"What is about to happen? I know you are helping Jack and I want to know why you want to kill all these people." I ask him as he now looks at me even more shocked.
"Who told you all of this?" he asks me.
"No one did, I saw it. I swear it was so real and that crazy woman she sent a rogue wave after the ship and it killed everyone. Except for me. You and Dodge shielded me but then she said I was an angel or something I don't understand it tell me what is going on Munder and I mean it." I threaten him.
"I can't believe me I wish I could but if you say that this is going to happen then we need to tell Jack." Munder says now taking my hand but as we go to leave a man walks in and I am pushed onto the wall of the bathroom and Munder thrushes his lips against mine.
The man laughs and walks past us as I look up at Munder and I can see so much sadness in his eyes.
"I wish I could save you." I tell him without even thinking.
Munder puts his hand on my cheek and smiles at me.
"I can save you though and that will make me happy." He tells me as he grabs my hand again and pulls me out of the restroom.
Munder takes me up to my room so I can change out of my bathing suit and into a normal white sundress. After that he takes me deep into the ship and to a room where I see Jack sitting on top of the boxes they loaded in at the beginning of the cruise.
"What the hell?!" Jack yells at Munder.
"She knows, she had a vision I guess you could call it. We have a problem though." Munder says as he motions for me to tell Jack what happened.
"That girl Victoria, she is going to somehow send a rogue wave after the ship. It kills everyone except for me." I tell him as he looks from Munder to me.
"So she's cheating, at least I have more style." Jack says with a cackle.
"It's true you're a collector, and so it she so this is all one big game to you?!" I yell at him as he looks at me now surprised.
"No it wasn't a game until she came in and screwed everything up." Jack says as he crosses his arms.
"What I don't get is what I saw, I didn't die but everyone else did so could you explain that to me?" I say as I move forward not getting his full attention.
"You aren't human, when we first met I could tell and to be honest no I have no idea what you are but my first guess would be an angel." Jack tells me as he looks up at me.
"So wait, you're evil and I am good but then how are you allowed to be anywhere near me? If I am an angel then shouldn't you like keep your distance?" I question him.
"I don't think it works like that, just because I am evil doesn't mean I have to stay away from you." He tells me as he stands up.
"Well I would if I were you, to think I actually felt sorry for you once. All of you but you made your bed so now you have to sleep in it." I say as I turn to walk away.
"Actually this way my choice but not theirs." Jack says as he looks to Dodge and Munder.
"Why doesn't that shock me?" I question.
I walk past both Dodge and Munder and start to go back to my room.
