There is bilge water a few inches deep in the hold.

"What is that thing?" Amy asks.

"The legend. The siren. Many a merchant ship laden with treasure has fallen prey to her. She's been hunting us ever since we were becalmed, picking off the injured."

"Like a shark. A shark can smell blood."

"Ok. Just like a shark, in a dress. And singing. And green? A green singing shark in an evening gown" the Doctor says.

"The ship is cursed!"

"Yeah, right. Cursed is big with humans. It means bad things are happening but you can't be bothered to find an explanation" {Y/N} says.

"She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen," Rory says.

"Actually, I think you'll find she isn't" Amy responds.

"She is," Rory says.

"We have to leave right now," Amy says.

"That thing of yours really is a ship?"

"Well, it's not propelled by the wind," the Doctor says.

"Show me. Weigh anchor. Make it sail."

"And the gun's back. You're big on the gun thing, aren't you? Freud would say you're compensating. Ever met Freud? No? Comfy sofa" {Y/N} says.

"Leave the cursed one, Captain. The creature can have him."

"Yes, please" Rory responds.

"We don't want the siren coming after us" something latches onto Mulligan's bare leg.

"It's a leech!" Amy says.

"Everyone out of the water!" the Doctor says.

"It's bitten me. I'm bleeding."

"She wants blood. Why does she want blood?" {Y/N} asks.

"What were you saying about leaving the cursed ones behind?"

"It's ok, we're safe down here. No curse is getting through three solid inches of timber" the Doctor says, and there's the siren again "oh! Ah. Hello again" De Florres is drawn towards her.

"No! No! No!" everyone shouts De Florres explodes, just leaving his hat behind.

*Time skip*

"Safe?" Amy asks.

"We have our good days and our bad days" the Doctor responds.

"How did she get in?" Avery asks.

"Bilge water. She's using water like a portal, a door. She can materialise through a single drop. We need to go somewhere with no water" {Y/N} says.

"Well, thank God we're not in the middle of the ocean" Amy replies.

"Did you see her eyes? Like crystal pools" Rory says.

"You are in enough trouble," Amy says.

"The magazine," Avery says.

"What?"

"He means the armoury where the powder's stored," the Doctor says.

"It's dry as a bone."

"Good. Let's go there" the Doctor nods.

"I give the orders."

"Ah. Worried because I'm wearing a hat now? Nobody touch anything sharp!"

"Come on, Rory," Amy says, the Doctor walks past {Y/N} and she watches him walk ahead, she sighs shaking her head before following a while later, the Boatswain shuffles through his collection of keys.

"Quickly, man."

"I can't find the key. Tis gone, Cap'n."

"How can it have gone?" the door is unlocked.

"Someone else had the same idea," the Doctor says as they all walk in.
