Chapter 53
"I don't really know what we're doing here," says a meek voice, it belonged to a girl, probably no older than 16, one that couldnt help but be quite due to their cicumstance. She was answered by someone, a boy, presumably the same age as her, maybe older,
"Shhhhhh... We're gonna be fine baby." His voice had a tinge of soprano in it, but it was also deep, high pitched yet also melancholic, one couldnt help but shudder at the tone of the speaker, whatever he was doing, he had experience in it.
The two were in an abandoned part of the docks of new york, well, abandoned is a tough word as it was simply not being used during the night. Several bodegas lined the vicinity, some were obviously closed to keep out intruders and others were open, having nothing of importance inside of them. The two could be found mingling on the latter, hushed excitement and loud yet whispered gasps escaped their mouths as the two slowly took each others clothes off, the girl was smiling and the boy had a mischevious grin. It grew wider when he started to kiss her neck as his hands explored her back, trying to find the straps that made her bra clung to her body.
"Anthony..." The girl moaned her partner's name, her voice soft and mellow.
Anthony, ignoring her moved on from her neck, he started to kiss downward, with each peck his head moved lower and lower, his hands by now had long found the locks of her bra, and they were doing their best to free them. The teen soon found his way to the girl's collar, he smiled as he bit the protuding bone, causing the girl to gasp in shock, she hit him in the head lightly, an indication that she wants more.
"You're always like this." He whispered,
Meanwhile, the girl's hands started to explore Anthony's body, from his chest down to the tip of his shirt, she pulled up the fabric, revealing a well toned body underneath. Her hands pressed unto the man's hard abs, enjoying the sensation that came with it, she smiled as her boyfriend finally managed to remove her bra, it fell lifelessly on the floor, dust flew, staining the orange undergarment.
Her boyfriend smiled as his hands finally moved elsewhere, they slowly made their way to her chest-
BOOM!
"What was that?!" the girl, losing her seductive air exclaimed in a panic, the explosion that rang just now was low, but it was still loud enough for them to notice that should it be near them, then they would be deaf. The two who got lost in the moment just now returned to their senses, and they looked around warily, the girl bent down and grabbed her fallen bra, whilst the guy got out of the abandoned building to see what happened. Putting on her bra didn't take long, and she hurriedly tried to follow her boyfriend, her heart beating loud out of fear, she could hear each rhythmic beat.
BOOM!
Another explosion entered her ears, and the girl moved even faster, she soon met up with her boyfriend whom was looking over the horizon, his face was pale, following his gaze, she too tried to see the cause of the commotion, and to her surprise, in the distance, she could see a boat ablaze, it was some sort of Ferry, probably larger, the explosion was loud, and the fire that came after it burned brightly in the night, and if anything was a cause of concern, it would be that the two consecutive problems would probably result in the passengers inside that ship to die.
And then she saw it, it was small and it was still night, but she was still able to notice it, a part of the ocean jumping outwards as a small shadow jumped from the burning ship. Someone was still alive, but not for long, he would freeze if they just stood still.
"Call the the police!" The girl yelled to her boyfriend, tugging his shirt.
"What are they gonna do?!" He replied back frantically, trying to grab his phone from his pocket, but failing miserably as his gaze was still focused on the burning boat in the distance.
Eventually, after an unknown amount of time, Anthony was able to pull out his phone, and he hurriedly called 911, the line was received and he explained what they had seen, the receiver gave them a small thanks and they hung up. "It should be fine now," Anthony stated, sighing, his girlfriend hugged him tight, "yeah, it should be."
With the two no longer in the mood, they just stood there, hugging each other whilst looking at the burning ship in front of them. The fire glowed brightly, tanning the sea in orange.
Deciding that they cant do anything else from here on out, the two turned around and left.
And then they heard it,
the sound of the water's surface breaking, like someone had just jumped into it.
And then they felt the ground beneath them shake, they felt that the source of the quake was behind them, so the two turned around, their grip on each other's hand tighter than before.
Then they saw him, standing before them was a massive man?.. no, he had a fin on his back, and his skin texture seemed leathery, they able to see it clearly thanks to the light that came from the fire behind him. He obstructed it with ease, and his shadow consumed the couple's own.
He stood at exactly 7 foot tall, and his muscles looked to be tough enough to easily lift a few thousand pounds, the creature's mouth opened up, he was grinning, revealing a row of shark-like teeth.
He stepped forward, causing the couple to step back.
This... Monster managed to jump out of the water and straight into land, now, the two weren't experts but if they were correct then the shore of the docks should atleast be 12 feet tall. They shuddered at the thought of some monster easily jumping that high.
The couple prepared to run, and their legs almost moved but-
"ARGHHH!" The monster was faster. His long, muscle filled hands grabbed the head of the boy in front of him. Anthony tried to struggle but it was futile, the creature was way too strong.
The monster opened its mouth, it was cavernous, too deep for the girl to see what was inside, not that it mattered, it was probably filled to the brim with teeth anyway. Her boyfriend tried to speak, tried to bribe the massive creature, but it was to no avail as it slowly moved his head towards it's opened mouth.
CRUNCH!
The stench of blood filled the air, and the body of the girl's boyfriend hung lifelessly on the monster's hands. She tried to scream but she was next, the creature grabbed her head, trying to fight back, she scratched the monster's arm, it was scaly, and she felt her finger nail flick at the tip of the scales, it made her cringe, and she could tell in the near future that if she continued what she was doing then her finger nails would fall off.
She didn't care.
Her life was more important.
Weightlessness overtook her as she felt her body moving through air, she scratched even harder, and she was able to feel her own nails, sharp and well polished, fall off from her efforts.
She felt hot air graze her head, the monster's breath stank of iron, it was probably thanks to her boyfriend's blood. She puked.
A small spark of hope entered her head, maybe it wouldnt eat her because she puked?
CRUNCH!
The girl's body became lifeless, and it no longer flailed, TigerShark let go of his grip, blood poured out from the headless corpse, same goes for his earler meal. He grinned, what the hell were these two doing here so late? Not that it mattered.
He turned around and looked at the burning ship, his latest job had been good, killing that pathetic politician had proven to be quite easy.
Ignoring it now, the Sharkman decided to patrol these docks, to see if he would get lucky again on prey. Heads have always tasted better, despite the hair, and, their bodies leave a good mark, one that told people of brutality. He felt excited at the thought of people finding these two tommorrow morning.
He hummed as he slowly walked away from the crime scene.
