Pepper's P.O.V.

"Are we almost there?" I say. My tail twitches left and right, each time sending pain throughout my body. "Because I might just die right here if we don't stop."

"Yeah, I think it's a good idea to rest, Beca." Charity states as Beca stops and turns around with a angered look on her face.

"No, no, no!" Beca almost screams, "We can't stop. We need to get home as soon as possible-"

"And we can't do that without resting." I state. "I'm getting some sleep."

"Fine," Beca pouts, Charity and I finally winning.

I awake to a loud vvrrrroooommmm noise. Almost like a bee buzzing near my ear. I try to swatt it away with my hand before remembering that I'm underwater. I open an eye, seeing only blue ocean before me.

Wait, what's that?

A dark object is above us.

A boat.

"Guys," I say, tapping on Charity's shoulder and hoping she'll wake up.

I see a net lowering. We're going to get caught.

"Guys, wake up." I say louder. "Guys! There's a boat!" Charity wakes up, her back arching as she moves forward. Beca only turns to face the other way. "BECA, WAKE UP!"

She wakes up in an instant, sees the boat above us, coprehends what's going on, and begins to scream, "Swim, guys, swim! GO!"
