The sea monster

The giant fin headed straight for Sea Breaker. The captain paled. 'Uh-oh.' Kalina swung the ship's wheel hard, to starboard. The ship tilted and Zenep had to hold on to the rails to keep from falling into the sea.

"Hold on!" the woman yelled.

The Sea Breaker turned quickly. The waves of the sea crashed against the bow with such violence that the bow rose a couple of meters.

The giant fin continued past and did not touch the ship.

Kalina gripped the tiller tightly and looked over her shoulder. The fin was turning halfway toward the stern. "Here it comes back!" The woman yelled, letting go of the rudder so that it would go the other way.

The Sea Breaker turned to port. The fin hit the back of the ship and everything shook. Zenep stumbled, fell backwards and rolled on the ground.

The woman looked up and saw Eider floating above the sea. "Hey!" She screamed. "A little help!"
