(One of the Winged)

The princess, it turned out, wasn't a princess at all. She took off her mask at one of the stations and suddenly it all fit. Dark, curly red hair, being short, all added up to- Rachel. All in the same moment, the boats stopped, the lights turned off, and a bunch of screaming filled the air. The seat belt wouldn't let me out and had actually seemed to tighten with my increased rate of breathing. Simone was screaming and I have the feeling I was about to also. This was kind of scary. I felt breathing along my neck and the gentle scrape of claws along my cheek. It was so dark that even with increased senses, I couldn't see whatever was in front of me. Which seriously freaked me out.
I felt something cut my seat belt off and someone flung me over their shoulder with a hairy hand. I scream, kicking at them. I could tell right away it was a stencil and I got the impression he wasn't here to invite me over for tea and crumpets. I scream louder, managing to knock my elbow into the back of their head. He grunts, jumps onto something else. I assumed it was another boat because the world was moving a lot. I kick him in the wrong place and he gasps, trying to hit me. But then that made him lose his balance and we crashed into the water with a splash.
I get the feeling, he can't swim. For he grabs onto me to keep a float. No offense, well actually yeah offense, he's a little heavier than your average person. So...we start sinking immediately. I kick my legs, trying to buck the guy off me. He just holds on tighter, making me want to let out my breath. I kick him in the shin, my feet starting to touch the bottom. He finally touches the bottom too and lets go, propelling himself upward and leaving me in a daze. How was I supposed to get up in time, my lungs were practically about to burst?! My muscles were tired and refused to move, my vision was getting blurry. I did the only thing I could do at the moment, the thing my brain was screaming at me to do. I took in a breath of WATER. I thrash, water rushing into my throat. Oh my god- I'm going drown!!! I kick frantically, pulling my arms up and making them do sloppy strokes. It's not working and I stop, five feet still to go till' I reach the air. I can't do it...
I start sinking again, the edges of my vision going black. Well... I had a good life for a week. Before that was the prison.
I swear, I saw a bright white light.
