AN: WHOOT WHOOT! 2k reads y'all!! I'm complete 💩 for making y'all wait so long- I just realized that its been five months! I knew nothing about submarines when I wrote the last chapter, so just imagine that there's a sitting area next to the main access hatch that's completely metal with bars. It's where Bex and Beth had their chat.

I can't see anything but water.

After a complete 360 turn, nothing stands out as our final destination. Even at night I'm sure that my eyes would be able to see a big land mass.

Panic encases my body but I won't give into it. I've held out this long without losing my mind, I refuse to now that we are seemingly so close to the isle.

Most of the passengers in this sardine can are heavily medicated and won't be weaned off the drugs until we are on firm land again. I've toyed with the option of joining them but the ones for a werewolf are stronger and it's too risky for me to take them since I don't have a wolf. My metabolism might be able to handle it, or the drugs could possibly shut down the organs in my body.

With those odds, I'll hold out for as long as I can. I haven't been the best passenger but no ones forced an IV into my arm, so I guess I haven't completely lost it.

As a kid I always wondered why the isle had such low visitation numbers, now I know why.

Non-aquatic beings should not be in the middle of the ocean for extended time periods.

It's simply unnatural.

A part of me wants to kill Eric for not warning me about this, but the wiser part of me knows that it wouldn't have helped the situation. It sure as hell won't help now that we're almost there.

Or that's what I keep telling myself, because so far I don't see anything that would stand out as our destination.

I often catch myself staring at the humans on the ship with envy. How do they walk around the ship so calmly? Don't they know that if we go any deeper, we could be crushed inside in this death trap? I was close to asking one of them the other day but the human looked scared, of me.

He wasn't scared of being miles under water, no he was terrified of having a conversation with a human looking female that could probably bench press him just for fun.

His minds way of processing potential dangers is whacked if you ask me.

When the Alpha human on the ship announced that we were almost to shore, I demanded for us to be close to the water line in order for me to sit in my spot next to the large metal fin. No one really fought with me as expected, I guess I'm not very good at hiding my rising emotions as I thought.

But that's a problem for another day. Today I'm barely holding it together and a human's "almost there" promise, can blow me.

I just wanted to see the isle get close with my own eyes.

That was two hours ago, now I find my foot tapping steadily onto the metal roof of the submarine. The constant tempo gives me something to focus on instead of my panic. It's a reminder that time is moving forward, therefore this human made torture machine is also moving forward.

I hear him before the metal door opens and he pops his head out.

"Ma'am, maybe you'd like to come back down? It's warmer than out here." The human is nervous but I can feel a slither of determination mixed in. Someone must've demanded for him to get me to come back down.

"No thank you." I barely manage not to growl at him.

The males face pales when he notices my facial expression. He has to squint to see me but a frown isn't too hard to decipher.

"I-I-It's just that you being up here isn't exactly ideal o-or safe?" He questions me instead of telling. I can practically see his thoughts. He's berating himself on why he would want an obviously vexed supernatural trapped inside with him instead of out here where I can do no harm.

If I wasn't so anxious so see land again, I would've laughed at him. Whomever commanded him obviously doesn't have enough pull.

"Am I slowing down the vessel?" I ask.

"No?" He responds hesitantly.

"Then I'm staying right here."

His determination is gone and now I just feel his ire at being shut down when all he was doing was following orders. I have nothing against him but I'm not in the mood to tell him that. I'll just let the human stew in his hurt feelings because of the mean old supernatural female on the ships roof.

Too bad. So sad.

I stare out into the vast ocean and slowly the tempo of my tapping gets faster. I don't notice at first because I decide to get lost in my own mind, but soon my entire body is thrumming with energy and I can't help but be snapped back into my present. I'm on my feet within seconds.

Looking around me, nothing looks different.

Water, waves, and more water.

But that can't be right, the air around me is electrified. I can feel something changing, I just don't know what it is.

The energy seeps into my body and builds until I feel like I'm about to explode. My entire being is shaking and yet, I don't see anything that should cause this change. Now my panic has something else to focus on.

I move toward the main hatch to try and escape, but before I can my body slams into what feels like a brick wall and I'm on my knees in an instant.

Wheezing soon ensues. I clutch my neck and look around for what hit me.

There's nothing here!

My weezes turn into gasps because even though I take air in, my body isn't getting the oxygen it needs. I have no time to contemplate why this is since my entire being is only focused on getting proper air into my lungs.

Suddenly I collapse into the water. My limbs don't feel like my own flail around in the water trying to get to the surface.

The water constantly bats my body into different directions and I can't see a thing. All I can think of is air.

I gasp only to have water fill my mouth. My instincts fight and claw but there is nothing I can do. The water is too strong.

My throat seizes and my lungs are burning.

'I'm sorry guys...' is all I think as my body shuts down.

~~~

I wake to my stomach convulsing. I can barely move as I throw up.

Everything is in intense pain. Not just externally but internally too. I'm so busy evaluating the damage that it takes me a minute to notice that the surface beneath me is steady. It's not firm either, its sand.

I'm on the isle!

With that realization I fight to open my crusty eyes. What I see shocks me.

"There ya go wolfy!" The smiling vampire cheers.

The long fangs are the first thing I notice about her since shes showing off her pearly whites. Next is the deep chocolate of her skin contrasting with her bright outfit. My evaluation is stopped short because she gets right in my face. I would've startled had my body been fully functioning.

"Well? Aren't you going to say thank you? I just spent my precious free time saving your life!" Her iris' are a darker chocolate than her skin and like all vampires, there's a hint of insanity emanating from her. Her emotions are all over the place and it's now that I realize that my barriers are down.

I move my throat to make a sound but the movement just causes me to start gagging again. The vampire zips away from me in disgust but I pay her no mind.

I feel no animosity coming from her so there's no need to compose myself.

"W-", I try to clear my sand paper rough throat,"wat-"

I start coughing roughly but the vampire knows what I'm trying to say.

"I'm a vampire, wolfy. Why the hell would I carry water with me?" Her sass makes me glare at her but she doesn't seem notice it or care.

Her eyes pop as an idea strikes her. Faster than my eyes can catch, the vampire is gone and back. Her hands are cupped with water inside them.

One sip and I knock her hands away from me.

She went and got salt water! That's worse than leaving me without water. The vampire doesn't understand why I pushed her away and gets mad.

"I should've left your wolfy ass in the water." She growls.

I slump back into the sand. Trying to talk to her is a lost cause.

A screech leaves my dry lips as I feel my body leaving the ground. I want to fight but my limbs just dangle as the vampire picks me up.

"I could throw you back into the water." The vampire contemplates out loud.

An involuntary whimper leaves my lips. There's no way I'll be able to swim back to shore and I'd bet everything that the vampire would throw me far out.

A sigh leaves her body.

"Don't play cute now wolfy." She snaps down at me.

I close my eyes as her body shifts. The pain is excruciating but I keep my mouth shut. I haven't read anything about vampires being able to run on water so it's a safe bet that she's taking me to civilization.

I feel her stop but I don't open my eyes. A sort of weightlessness surrounds me and then I nearly pass out when my body collides with solid ground.

The scream that leaves my mouth could wake the dead.

I turn to force out as many bad words as I can at the vampire only to realize that she's gone. There's nothing around my but lockers and doors which confuses me.

I hear running and it's then that I realize I'm in front of a classic white door with an opaque square glass window. I look up and see the word 'nurse' on the glass in bold black font.

The vampire literally dropped me off at the nurses office.

Contemplating my already bad first impression on the people of the Isle, since I'm sure the ship has already docked with me no where in sight, I decide that it can't get any worse than it already is.

So I close my eyes to take an under deserved but much needed nap.

AN: I don't blame any of you if you've given up one me. This chapter is completely unedited, as you can see.
