They were approaching Devil's Chasm.
Logan figured it was time to eliminate the threat.
He was sure the stowaway would be hiding in the storage room at this hour.
He had asked the crew beforehand.
There were only some tools in the room.
People rarely came here.
Logan pushed the door open and a foul smell wafted toward him.
The smell of blood was mixed in with the moldy odor.
It was a cloudy day and the sun was setting.
It was also very dark out at sea, so the storage room on the bottom floor was shrouded in darkness.
It was deathly quiet and only the sounds of the waves hitting the ship's hull could be heard.
Logan slowly walked into the room.
His intuition was telling him that the person was in the room, like a venomous snake, waiting for the best moment to
strike.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe weather was growing stormier and the winds were picking up.
Olivia didn't know how the wind entered her room when her door and windows were shut.
It was making her feel uneasy.
She raised her head to look outside the window.
The winds were bellowing and bringing up huge waves.
They were entering Devil's Chasm soon.
The weather was worse than before.
It was like the sea was trying to swallow them up.
The huge waves crashing against the ship caused it to shake violently.
Occasionally, there were huge waves that would strike fear into anyone who saw them.
The sea took on a darker hue, looking more ominous without the sun.
The Devil's Chasm was very aptly named.
Olivia stood beside the window feeling uneasy.
It looked like it was about to rain, which would worsen the situation.
Olivia's anxiety grew when she thought of how they would be traversing such turbulent waters for the following
days.
Another huge wave struck the ship and caused it to shake.
Olivia almost lost her balance and fell.
She paced around the room for a while and decided that she wanted to look for Logan.
At least she would feel reassured with him around.
She had started to feel attached to him after spending so much time together.
As soon as Olivia opened the door, the winds surged and slammed it shut before she could even take a step
outside.
The door was closed so abruptly that it almost hit her on her nose.
Then, she heard a sailor's voice through the wind saying, "Miss, you should stay in your room.
The weather's really bad right now.
And the ship's swaying a lot.
You might get hurt if you come out." Olivia wondered where Logan went.
Her heart was racing.
Logan was slowly exploring the storage room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe held a high- power flashlight that shed light on some mostly broken tools.
Dust was swirling in the air and the corners of the walls were lined with glistening, swaying cobwebs.
Just as a large spider slowly descended from its web, Logan abruptly swung his flashlight to the back.
Behind him stood a masked man holding a dagger.
The blade was only an inch away from piercing Logan.
Logan reacted promptly and shone the flashlight into the masked man's eyes to disorient him.
Then, he kicked the masked man with all his strength.
The man fell into a toolbox with a loud "thud".
Some of the hammers hanging on the wall fell and brought up acloud of dust.
“Don't move." Logan shone the flashlight directly at the man.
The man raised his arms to shield his eyes.
His tall frame appeared forlorn amid the debris.
Then, Logan finally got a good look at the man.
He was shocked when he saw the mask.
"It's...
you."
