After the running, the stamping, and the screams, there was eerie silence. What was going on aboard Bluebelle?
At first Terry Jo lay in her bed, covered in terrified shivers. Soon, she collected the courage to leave her cabin and see what had happened.
The main cabin wa used a kitchen and dining room during the day. At night, the main cabin was transformed into a bedroom.
In the main cabin, Terry Jo saw her mom and big brother. They laid in a pool of blood. They were dead.
Cautiously, Terry Jo went on to explore other areas of the boat. Near the cockpit, she more blood. She also saw a knife. With the courage of a soldier, Terry Jo continued to acquaint herself with the horrors of the boat. She made her way to the front of the boat.
As Terry Jo was confronting the grisliness of the once serene Bluebelle, somebody lunged at her.
Who could it be? Was their ship invaded by another man?
It wasn’t a strange murderer or foreign madmen: the man who lunged at her was the Blubell’s captain, Julian Harvey. “Get back down there!” he screamed at her.
With her heart pounding harder than a jackhammer, Terry Jo spotted her bloodied mom and brother once more before going back to her sleeping place.
In her cabin once again, Terry Jo crawled back into her bunk. Soon, water was making its way into the cabin. Bluebelle was filling with water.
