Prologue

The sea sickness hadn't hit him yet. But he, of course, had grown up with it. She, on the other hand, wasn't doing to well. At the moment, she was curled up in a corner of the room, clutching her stomach and a bucket, her eyes closed, trying to block out the nausea coursing through her. Her groan set him on edge.

"Would you stop that?" he snapped, turning his attention away from the door and focusing it across the room. "You're such a wimp." He rolled his eyes and tries to sift his vision through the keyhole. He couldn't see anything but stairs. "It already smells bad enough down here without your lunch from yesterday."

"What lunch from yesterday?" The question made both of their stomachs growl with hunger. Neither of them remembered the last time they had a decent meal. "And besides...you're the one that got us into this mess. You touched the model when she told you not to. Didn't you think that was going to get us in trouble?"

"Me?" he asked, beginning to raise his voice a little as anger swept over him. "I didn't talk back to the captain." He leaned against the wall, watching the door as if waiting for it to magically vanish. That would be normal compared to what had happened to them.

"Well I'm sorry for objecting to being held hostage," she retorted, not even trying to hide her sarcasm. She rolled her eyes before they widened as she delivered more of her rather empty stomach contents into the bucket, resulting in another aggravated groan from the boy.

They had been fighting like this practically since they met. Almost constantly. It was terrible. We were never going to get out of here if they didn't learn to get alone. I hated seeing them fight even more now than when they arrived. But the worst part was that I wouldn't even do anything about it. All I could do was sit against the wall and watch. And what good is that in a situation like this.

Seems very interesting, will continue reading. I agree with Robert Nicholls I am a bit confused but it is just the prologue.

Interesting intro. I am looking forward to seeing this story play out. I'll admit I am a bit confused, but then again, it is a prologue, so I can be patient :)
