|| Beautiful Thing|| Grave Vanderwaal ||
Reyna was up on the top deck, she wasn't quite sure how she had gotten here, but it was raining terribly and she was trapped. "Help!" Reyna croaked, getting splashed by water. Her legs had formed into a tail, making her unable to walk back inside. It was likely that no one could hear, it was likely that no one saw her either and as the boat was tossed by the waves, Reyna's grip began to slip. She had no idea which part of the boat she was on, only that she needed to get back inside. "Corona, hang on!" Reyna said to the shell in her pocket. She grasped it tightly, another bump coming. This one threw her over the side of the boat, Reyna's grip on the net slipping and plunging her into the icy waves. In here, no one could hear her, there was a definite chance that no one could see her. Reyna held onto the shell as though her life depended on it, she was breathing fine thanks to the whole being a mermaid thing, but the storm was probably pushing her away from the boat.
Reyna tried to laugh, blind as she was, she would only end up dying in the sea. Unable to hunt or defend herself, Reyna would be subject to all sorts of attacks. "I'm going to die down here," she whispered, holding the shell tightly. "I'm sorry Corona, I guess you aren't going to get a proper burial." Something struck her hard, Reyna's body went limp, the shell still nestled on her chest. Her body drifted downwards into the sea, her cry for help still resting on her lips.
She coughed, spewing sea water onto the deck. Reyna opened her eyes, but it made no difference in the darkness. "Reyna! Oh, thank goodness!" Hazuki cried, pushing hair out of Reyna's face. "Someone wrapped a blanket around her, Shannon's voice came from somewhere to the left. "It's a good thing you were floating, otherwise we would have never seen you." Asther's whimper was the one that surfaced next. "We thought you were dead," Reyna coughed again. The shell, where was it? "Corona, where's Corona?" She asked, slightly panicked. She felt someone reach between her mounds, pulling the shell out. "Looks like you stuck her close to your heart," Hazuki said, putting the shell in Reyna's hands. "Or she's really gone mad!" Wolfe's barking laughter came, making Reyna wince. "Do you mind shutting your mouth? It's making my ears throb."
"Ooh, cold, well come on, bring her to my office so I can see what damage has been done." Luis's office was a storage closet with an ironing board for a table. Reyna sat on top of it, allowing him to change the bandages around her throat and fiddle with bruises on her knee. She didn't realize that he was also taking blood samples after putting on the antiseptic that stung like a bitch. "You're lucky that bump on your head isn't worse, otherwise you might not have been able to take your daily nap," Reyna rubbed said bump. "Yeah, well, I would have taken it anyway. It's not like I would have had anything else to do." Reyna, to put it frankly, was bored. "Here," Luis stuck something over her ears, making Reyna jump. Sound came out of it, startling her again.
"Chapter One," it said and then stopped. Luis removed the headphones, laughing. "I've never seen anyone so afraid in my life! I almost forgot you're from World War 2. This is called an Audio Book, I'll lend it to you, if you'd like." Reyna was silent a moment, it's not like she had anything else to do. "Alright," she agreed, letting Luis put the headphones back over her ears. He played it and Reyna listened, sitting in Luis's office all day to listen to the audio version of the Lunar Chronicles.
