As the captain took his leave, All that Luke could think about was the appearance of his sister. He had never found out where she had gone but not only did she seem completely fine after being kicked out of the Cordovan household, she even had enough money to invest into this impossibly large vessel.

When did this happen? As far as he knew, she didn't have anyone supporting her aside from her now ex husband. Maybe there was someone in the background helping her out financially? Luke wasn't quite sure about any of that but it did make him wonder about the situation at hand. Was the fact that his sister suddenly revealed herself simply a coincidence or was she planning something? It wasn't exactly a big stretch for him to think about.

Luke was so deep in his own thoughts that he failed to notice the growing crowd of people gathering around him. The mass of people all waiting for a chance to speak with his clueless self.

*Ahem*

"Excuse me Mr. Castellan." A man's voice interrupted Luk

    While Luke conversed with his clients Ella remained back, standing opposite to Lee. She kept watching him out of the corner of her eye while listening intently to anything that he might say or mumble. Her face showed a permanent scowl at the prospect of the kid getting close to her man. She hated the thought of having someone intruding on their special vacation together. Especially someone she had only just met today. If not for Luke's intervention she would have already crushed the poor boy's spirit for good after his first introduction. Sweat began to form around Lee's brow as if sensing her disapproval. He dared not gaze in her direction in fear of being torn asunder by her sharp tongue. Instead he focused his attention towards Luke and began to fidget with his sleeves in an attempt to hide away his uneasiness. Ella watched him closely as he continued to move his hands through his sleeves repeatedly and she could feel her anger slowly fading away. *Huff* "What am I doing? This

    Luke, Lee, and Ella Travel around the ship, touring various parts of the interior and exterior while stopping occasionally to ask questions of various crew members about some of the features. Luke was impressed by how much work was put into designing the ship's various amenities. While many aspects of the ship could have been done cheaply by using cheaper materials, they went out of their way to ensure the highest quality possible by choosing only the best available. Even the walls had been painted with a special paint designed specifically to block harmful fumes so that one would never need to worry about getting sick from living aboard the ship. In fact, The walls of the ship seemed to be reinforced or strengthened. It was certainly built with the safety of its passengers first and foremost in mind, and they seemed to have gone through great lengths to make sure that the inside of the ship could withstand any sort of situation should it ever arise. They also added numerous features

    The next few days were filled with excitement for the three travelers as they explored the ship's many features. There was never a dull moment atop the magnificent vessel. But despite the time he spent enjoying his vacation, Luke's mind continued to wander. His thoughts were constantly invaded by the thoughts of his sister. Ever since the speech, he hadn't seen or heard a word from her. She had to have been somewhere on the ship, but somehow she had evaded all of his attempts to reach her. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was going on, or else there was no way she would have put any effort into something like this. She had no interest in anything sea related, and yet she had gone through so much trouble to help create this place. Something must have happened. But where was she? Where could she possibly be hiding that he hadn't been able to find on his own? After searching nearly every part of the ship, not only did he not find a trace of her, even the crew members were

    With Lee added to Luke's team, The preparations for his event were progressing smoothly. Despite his inexperience, Lee was more than willing to put in the work to ensure that everything was as Luke wanted. It was almost hard to believe that such a good worker was unable to make a name for himself in his fathers company, but Luke wasn't going to complain. Because of the boy's father, he was able to obtain this hidden gem. Even Ella began to warm up to him the longer they worked side by side. Although she usually just ordered him around like some kind of dictator, she would occasionally give him praise when he did well at something. Even she was surprised at how well he had adapted so quickly, especially considering that he only met them a short time ago. Although things seemed like they were falling into place, th

    "Agghh. How are you so good at this!? This shouldn't be happening! I'm supposed to be the one winning." Ella was sweating bullets after losing yet another round of Blackjack. She was beginning to lose track of the amount of money spilling out of her savings. "Hmph, Serves you right." Lee muttered as he watched her crumble beneath the pressure. "T-This is just not fair. Come on boss, Why don't you throw us a bone. If we keep going like this, we won't even have a paycheck to take back home with us." The two older men pleaded with him as they watched Luke scoop up the entire pot once again. Luke couldn't help but smirk at them as they continued their desperate pleading with him. "You shouldn't have underestimated your boss. I told you that I wouldn't give you a single penny didn't I? I'm sure your wives will be thrilled when you return home." Luke chuckled as he tucked the money away. "Anything but that, boss. You know she'll kill me if she finds out that I lost so much money gambli

    "Yeah, I don't know about you guys but I feel like a million bucks. How about you Lee?" Luke asked as they made their way towards their resting room after leaving the casino floor behind them. "You came out with quite a large haul, unlike Ella here." "Ha, ha, ha. It was fun. I was never allowed to gamble like that before today. My parents would never allow me to do such a thing." Lee replied with an innocent laugh. His tone quickly turned into a nervous chuckle when he noticed how he was speaking. "Oh, this is your first time playing? You must have some talent for this kind of thing if you were able to beat us all." Luke remarked as he stared at Lee with a curious expression on his face. *Ahem* "Don't exclude me from this talk. As his commander, it is only right that I too enjoy the fruits of his labor." Ella spoke up while wrapping her arm around Lee's shoulder. "To think that my little boy has grown so much. They grow up so fast don't they?" Ella smirked while eyeing up Lee's wi

    "Don't pretend to be something you're not. You've never been my sister." Luke spoke with a stern frown as he looked at her with a challenging glare in his eyes. "No? You sure about that then boy?" She asked with a sly grin as she placed her hand over her heart. "You're going to hurt my feelings if you say something so awful." Ella added with an exaggerated pouty face, which caused Luke to scoff in disgust as he crossed. Noticing the concerned glances from Ella and Lee, Luke stands up from his chair. "If you have something to say to me, say it quickly. If you haven't noticed, I'm currently on vacation." Luke started with an intimidating glare. "No need to be so hostile, How about we talk privately. Just the two of us?" She asked with a calming tone in her voice, her eyes staring at him with an innocent curiosity. "I wouldn't want to make things awkward for your two companions." "Ugh. Fine, but only because I have a few questions of my own." Luke retorted with an annoyed sigh. "Go

    "What the hell is wrong with her? Why is she acting so weird?" Lee complained with a frustrated expression as he looked up at the ceiling in disbelief at how bizarre his conversation with Marilyn was. "I don't even want to stay here anymore. I'd much rather just head back to the city than spend another day with that nutcase hanging around. And what did Jonathan do to her to make her act like some obsessed fangirl. It's almost like I'm talking to someone who has some form of Stockholm syndrome." Luke thought allowed with his hand to his chin. "But her mental state is a matter for another time. What did she mean about this ship being created for me? Is she saying that Jonathan had her build it specifically for me? What could he hope to gain from doing something like this, and how did he know that I would even be going on a cruise so far in advance? Things are just getting weirder and weirder around here." Luke spoke with an annoyed glare in his eyes. "I don't even want to know what t

    The passenger side door swings open to reveal A thin passenger with long hair tied up into a ponytail. He was dressed casually in a white collared shirt and black slacks. "Welcome back brother. You made quite the entrance I must say." Jonathan said with a smile from within the vehicle. "So how was your vacation?" Luke looked at his brother with disdain, "What are you doing here!? Why did you have to show up now!?" He growls angrily. "That's a silly question. I'm just here to pick up my brother and his companion." His older brother explained, "why don't you have a seat so that we can catch up. It's about time that we have a talk." Jonathan suggests with a grin while gesturing with his hand out towards the passenger seat. "Don't get your hopes up. I wouldn't ride in the same space as you if you paid me to." Luke retorted coldly. "How about you run on home and wait for me to tear you down, just like I did with Marilyn." Luke tells him with a scowl. "I'm sorry to hear that, but I don

    Luke watched on in shame at the mess taking place in front of him. The room was already cluttered as is with the bodies of the guests scattered about, but now Ella and Le were making an even bigger mess of things. And all over a single bottle of liquor. "Haha, your going to have to try harder if you want to catch me." Ella remarked as she kept away from Lee while holding on to the bottle loosely in her hands. "You think you're funny!?" Lee huffed in frustration as he attempted to tackle her but she effortlessly dodged him and quickly disappeared behind the bar. "Ha Ha Ha! Very cute Lee." She taunted him as she tipped the bottle upside down, allowing the liquid to flow down into two glasses. She handed one of them to him with an amused look before downing her own glass in an instant. "Hey! You can't just drink it like that! It's not a shot!" He said while pointing his finger accusingly at her. "Oh yeah? Well I don't have any patience today so I'm going to just drink it however I d

    One Last Drink

    A week and a half passes and Luke, Ella and Lee are now able to see land. It wouldn't be long now until they were back on solid ground. "Ahhh, Doesn't it just look so nice?" Ella exclaimed joyfully while looking out the transparent plane covering their room. Her eyes were fixated on the land as if it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Luke couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm, but he also found it somewhat amusing seeing her this way given how much she had been through recently. "When I get back I'm going to take a nice long bath with extra bubbles and candles. Maybe even light some incense while I soak under the starry sky. Then I'll get out and dry off slowly while laying out by a pool somewhere in the desert with an ice cold beer in my hand." Ella continued on with her fantasy. "What about you half-pint? Are you going to go back to your family to tell them what happened? I'm sure that they would want to know how their youngest son almost died on his business tri

    "So how long do you think it will take before we set foot on solid ground again? I'm starting to get a little nauseous." Ella said while looking down at her stomach. "Not too long I hope." Luke replied while staring ahead at the transparent plane covering the room. It's been a little over a week since we set off, so I would guess that it would take around the same time going back" He told her while scanning through different screens on the walls. "At this rate, my boredom is going to kill me before Jonathan can get the chance. I can only sit here so long without going insane." Luke complained with a groan, as he sat down in one of the seats. "I need something to read, or do... anything would be nice" Luke added as he began scanning around the room for any kind of entertainment that might be lying around. Searching the cluttered floor, Luke spotted a few different magazines that were spread open on the ground. grabbing a few of them, Luke tossed one of them over to Ella as he began

    Back On Track

    Ella follows Luke as he opens the door leading further ahead inside the ship. Covering their eyes to shield themselves from the sudden increase in brightness, The duo enter into the vessels bridge. The sun is raised high in the sky outside, and the warm air from the heat vents makes itself known throughout the ship, creating a strong contrast against the dimly lit interior of the ship. "This thing looks like it's straight out of the 2000's." Ella mumbled aloud as she followed behind Luke, staring down at the small computer consoles on the wall before them and their array of buttons and dials. Luke turned around and nodded while he scanned through the screens and monitors displayed in front of him on the wall. "I hope this isn't as complicated as it looks." He said as he reached out his hand and pressed a few buttons on the panel in front of him, causing the ship's lights to brighten up. "I guess I know what this does now. Hmmm, Let me check on some things real quick." Luke tells her

    It's Not Over

    Turning his back to his sister's unmoving form, Luke walked over to where Ella stood and wrapped his arms around her. Holding her close to him as he tried desperately to hold on to what little sanity he had left. He had acted confident in the moment, but had yet to fully realize what he had just done. Once again, he had managed to find his way back to the path that his brother had set for him. He was finally beginning to take control of his life and destiny and yet, once again he found himself on the verge of losing it all. "What is wrong with me?" Luke whispers into Ella's ear while tightening their embrace. His hands shaking as he attempted to calm himself down, but the thought of what he just did continued to plague his mind and make him panic. "I killed Marilyn. I didn't just kill her, I actually strangled her with these hands. I watched her life leave her body. What the hell have I become?" Luke asks as he tries to calm down and regain his composure. Ella could feel his hands

    Not Your Fight

    "Is this what you call fun!" Ella said through gritted teeth as she glared at Marilyn. "Is this truly just one big game to you!" Ella shouted with rage. "You're just picking and choosing who lives and dies because you think you can! Just like those poor kids!" Ella screamed at the woman before her as she bawled her fists and raised them high. Marilyn let out a small laugh at her statement before turning her gaze down to Ella and giving her a smile that was meant to look kind and welcoming but instead gave the girl chills. "Oh, sweetheart! Don't you know that there are more important things than living or dying. Everyone here is doing their part to ensure a brighter future for everyone. Even you." She said as she stood up from her seat. "But you see, I don't have any plans for you today dear. Your time hasn't come just yet. The only one I need is my dear brother. After all, this was set up just for him." She said as she attempted to walk past Ella. But Ella's anger flared up once ag

    Rage

    As the screen fades to black, Luke can hear the sound of heavy machinery above him. Swimming up with his key in hand, Luke pops his head out of the water to find a thin catwalk extending from the wall opposite of the door. It continues to extend until it reaches the door, creating a path for him and Ella to stand on. Although out of reach currently, The water continued to rise which would soon allow them to reach the door if they wanted to escape. With a glance at Ella, Luke can only shake his head as he watches her playing in the water like a child. She's definitely enjoying herself way more than she should have been. Watching Luke play must have truly bored her. Once the water level was high enough, Luke grabbed hold of the catwalk's railing and pulled himself up. After taking a quick look back towards the water, Luke reached his hand out to pull Ella up from below. "Why, thank you kind sir." Ella replied sarcastically as she placed her hand in Luke's grip. The two were now sta

    Master of Cards

    Pushing to finish this game in the next round, Luke raises his head and takes a deep breath, as the water was now high enough to cover his face. Turning to his side to check on Ella, Luke could see her floating away on her back while giving him a thumbs up. He could tell that she was having fun despite the obvious danger approaching. But at least this meant that she trusted him to pull through. Finishing his breath, Luke dives under to see what was happening on his screen. His starting hand turned out to be a 15 made up of a 7 and an 8. Unfortunately, though. It seemed as though player 1's turn was taking much longer than usual. The same thing happened last round, so it wasn't unusual. Luke was just in a bit of a hurry considering his circumstances. Finally taking his turn, Player 1 instantly used the cover option and ended his turn with a Hit. Putting his cards count at three and locking down anyone's ability to manipulate his cards was most likely the best alternative. With playe
