Everyone except Amber, Katrina and Lana are with Asher in the water beside the boat. So yes, Tranquility is with Asher.

*blushes* Oops.

((Lana))

I sucked in my breath. Letting my anger coarse through my body, I moved out from behind the stack of boxes.

"Be careful. I have your back." Amber stated behind me. I nodded.

I lengthened my stride and approached the boarding ramp. "Hey!" I heard someone come to the edge of the boat. "Hey! Who goes there..." He never saw the wooden crate come behind him and whack him of the head. Amber quickly slipped into the sailors body.

"Anderson?!" a sharp call came from the other side of the ship.

"Yes, sir?" called Amber from the sailors body.

"Anything wrong?"

"No, sir!" she grinned. "Go back and get Katrina. I'll shove some sailors over to the Asher shark."

I nodded and turned to go get Katrina.

Asher.

Asher looked around to see who was talkng to him, then stopped when he realised it was a mental transmition from Lana. Lana? he replied with his own thought.

Amber's going to shove some guards into the water. She needs you to take them out when she does.

Asher turned to the others and said, "Wait here."

"Where are you going?" Trent asked.

"To help the others anyway I can." He took a deep breath and dove underwater.

He resurfaced under the dock where Amber and the others were supposed to be. His long black hair floated on the surface of the water, creating a perfect camouflage in the black night-time water.

Asher kept his eyes on the dock above. There was a one-man patrol just above him. Another sailor was approaching from behind. Right away Asher knew it was Amber in one of the enemies' bodies.

Amber came up behind the man. When no one was looking she pushed him over the edge. "What the-"

*splash*

Asher took a deep breath and dove after the man. While underwater he wrapped his legs around the man's body. He grabbed him by the head and twisted as hard as he could. His neck made a loud 'snap' and his body went limp before expelling the remaining air in his lungs. Asher released the body and let it sink to the ocean floor.

He swam back to the surface and saw Amber looking over the dock at him. He gave her a thumbs up to let her know everything was OK and to move on to the next victim.

Amber

"What was that? I thought I heard a splash? Simon?" A voice called from the distance. From what I could determine, he was the final member of the night watch apart from the man whose body I inhabited.

"Simon fell into the water, sir," I responded.

"And how the hell did he manage that?" the man demanded.

"Was helping me untie the rope and slipped, sir."

"Well go and help him out. What are you waiting for?"

"I... I can't swim, sir." There was silence for a moment.

"Are you sure he's down there? I don't hear any splashing..."

"Might have hit his head and knocked himself unconscious, sir."

Tranquility slipped onto the ship, moving towards the two speaking figures.

"Might have hit his head and knocked himself unconscious, sir."

"Well, if he his head on something, then there must be something that you can stand on, right?"

He saw the sailor being possessed by Amber froze, and decided to act. He moved towards them and hit the unfortunate man in the back of the head. He crumpled. The other sailor looked at me, "Is he dead?"

"He is unconscious. He will no longer pose a threat, and this way he could be more useful to us."

(Do you think it'd be possible for Katrina and Asher to get together, if you know what I mean? Everyone else picked the people they wanted their characters to be with when they posted their profiles, now the only ones left seem to be Katrina and Asher.)

"Well, now that all the guards are taken out we should get everyone onto the ship," Amber said.

"We'll find a rope," Lana said. She and Katrina snuck off together, and a few minutes later they came back with a rope.

Tranquility took the rope and tied it to the edge of the ship. When he was confident the rope was tight enough he threw it over the edge. One-by-one the rest of the experiments climbed up the side of the ship, Asher being last to make sure everyone made it up.

"Good job, everyone," Asher said. "Now all we have to do is find the ship's hull and wait it out."

"Over here!" Everyone looked to see Katrina holding open a trapdoor that led to the ship's hull. Everyone began to file into the hull when Lana asked, "What are we going to do with him?" She was pointing to the unconscious man at her feet.

"Tie him up and gag him," Asher said. "We may need him for collateral or another body for Amber to possess."

"Speaking of which, what should I do with this one?" Amber asked. "I can't keep him possessed forever."

"Ditch the body and dump him over the edge." With that last order everyone began to do their part. Amber slipped out of the body she was in and Trent tossed it over the side of the ship. Tranquility untied the rope they had used to get onto the ship and tied it around the unconscious man as Lana stuffed a piece of cloth in his mouth.

When everyone was finished, Katrina asked, "Collateral, does that mean we may have to use him as a hostage?"

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that," Asher said as he lifted the bound man onto his shoulder and led everyone down the trapdoor.

**Sorry it has been so long sense I posted, I've been extermly busy and I don't know what my scheadule looks like from here.**


Tylana

Tylana followed slowly and looked around. There were several crates, some with food, some empty.

"We'll need a way to eat." Trent said looking at the others. "We might have to find a way to sneak upstairs and get food."




**Wow, very short, didn't mean for it too. I'm sorry. I'll try to get bigger posts later. **

Amber

"Good point but really we'll only need two or three meals before we're far enough out to take the ship," I replied thoughtfully.

"Collect some food now then and let's hope they don't notice it missing," Asher decided, leading the way back to the deck where most of the barrels and kegs were stored.

"They're sealed..." Katrina realised.

"doesn't matter, it's not unusual for the watch men to steal a drink or a bite to eat," Asher replied.

"How long do we have before the crew get here?" Tranquility asked, taking a few pieces of some hard, crusty bread from a barrel and moving the others around to disguise their absense.

"They'll be here by morning," Tylana said, "what are we going to do about water?"

"Can anyone see some sort of small container?" Katrina called to those still on deck.

"There will be urns and pans in the kitchen..." I noted.

"They don't call it a kitchen on a ship, it's a..."

"Just find something and quick, they're coming!" Tranquility exclaimed.

(wow.... I'm so sorry I've been gone. I actually shouldn't be on the internet at all... I should be writing some poems I lost. O well, I've got class time. I will try and post more often.)

Katrina-

Tranquility was right,I could already hear talking. I heard my stomach growl, I felt weak.

"I think I know how to get a container from the kitchen." I said, a plan in my head.

"It's not called a kitchen-" Someone shushed us both quiete as the talking got closer. I waited a few moments before I continued my plan.

"I'll turn into a shadow- if I can. Its hard. Then, I'll go into the kitchen- by shadow- and become solid again. Find something, fill it up with water, and turn me and the container into a shadow. Then I'll come back here."

Trent-


"Tylana and me could just turn into bugs and get in there, they wouldn't see us. It would be getting the food back taht would be hard, but I'm sure we could figure it out." Trent said lookign around. Tylana hesitated and then nodded.

"It might work, maybe all three of us could go. Then we would be able to get more food." She added.
