Chapter 10

Jeff could tell Sara wanted to tell him something important. Leading her away from the others, Jeff stopped by the rail, and then looked inquiringly into her eyes. He was sure there was nothing she could tell him that would be too bad.

"I don't own this boat, at least not yet," Sara told a startled Jeff.

"What do you mean, not yet?" he asked her, bewilderment crossing his features.

"An old man told me he has my dad. He told me if I did what he told me to, he would release my father and the boat would be mine," she replied.

"An old man? What did he look like? Why did he say he had your dad?" Jeff asked her.

"He was kind of funny-looking. He just said he would let Daddy go when I got you to Greece," she told him. Jeff felt like the world had dropped onto his shoulders.

"Is that the only reason you are taking us to Greece?" he asked.

"Well, that's how it started, but since I've gotten to know you better, I fell in love with you," she told him, kissing him softly. Jeff instinctively knew she was telling him the truth. He could feel the love she felt for him in her kiss. Jeff was about to deepen the kiss, when he heard a cough behind him.

"I hate to disturb you two, but the navigator said he needed to speak with you, Sara," Demetrius told the pair. The couple held hands as they headed for the bridge. Wondering what could be important enough to summon her, Sara pulled Jeff after her, nearly racing to see the man in charge of piloting her new boat.

"You wanted to see me, Aeneas?" Sara asked as she reached the navigator. Upon hearing Sara call the man Aeneas, he looked closely at the man guiding their boat. Remembering his Greek mythology, Jeff knew it was said Aeneas had never died. Jeff was beginning to understand what was facing him when he got to Greece. Deep in thought, Jeff nearly missed Aeneas's reply...

"Yes, There is a bad storm coming, we need to get everyone below deck," he replied. Sara cast a worried look at the clouds, and then back at the man guiding the boat.

"How bad is it?" she asked.

"It looks to be pretty bad. They are warning everyone to veer off if they can," he replied, wanting to make sure the two realized the importance of getting everything tied down. When Jeff and Sara rejoined the others, they told them what Aeneas had told them.

"If we all get on it, we can have everything secure in no time," Sara told them. Everybody agreed with this and hurried to complete the task. As soon as they finished getting everything secure, Demetrius took one last look around the craft, making sure everything was secure. Seeing everything safe in its place, Sara led Jeff to her room, giggling as they got to her door. Opening the door, Sara ran to her bed, and then waited for Jeff to close the door and join her. When he reached the bed, Sara reached up and grabbed him, pulling him on top of her. After having waited nineteen years to make love for the first time, Sara couldn't believe she was about to have a cock in her pussy again in so short a period.

"Baby, are you sure? It's only been a few hours. I figured you were sore," Jeff asked her as he tenderly kissed her. Sara's lips parted, inviting Jeff to explore her mouth once again. Jeff deepened the kiss, his tongue tasting hers. Pulling away from him slightly, Sara began undressing him, anxious to touch his firm body.

"Oh yeah, I've never been more sure of anything in my life," she answered, practically tearing off his clothes in her rush to get him naked. Jeff grabbed her hands, wanting to slow everything down and make it better for her. Jeff began to undress Sara bit by bit, wanting to let her desire gradually increase. When he finally completed undressing her, Jeff stood so he could remove his own clothing. After removing his shirt, Jeff bent down to remove his shorts. As he lifted his leg to get the shorts off, a wave crashed into the boat, causing Jeff to fall onto the bed and Sara.

"Gotcha where I want you now," Sara said with a giggle, wrapping her arms around Jeff and kissing him soundly. With a smile, Jeff sat up and began removing the rest of his clothing. When he was finished, he lay back beside Sara and pulled her into his arms, caressing her as he began kissing her deeply. Sara began grinding her pelvis against Jeff, wanting to get even closer to him as her arousal continued to climb. Jeff began kissing down her body, pausing at her breasts to suck each of her nipples into his mouth. When Jeff began trailing kisses down to his ultimate goal, Sara grew impatient, grabbing his cock to pull it toward her mouth. When Jeff felt Sara taking his dick into her mouth, he quickened his journey toward her cunt, taking her little nubbin into his mouth to duplicate the feelings she was giving to him. Knowing she wouldn't last long with Jeff's mouth on her clit, she began to speed up the bobbing of her head on his engorged prick. Sara could feel her orgasm beginning to overtake her when the door to the cabin slammed open, startling the pair.

"Jeff, you have to come quickly, your sister was washed overboard!" a frantic Demetrius told him. Not bothering to dress, Jeff raced out the door, hoping to find and save his sister. When Jeff reached the door, he began pushing with all his strength to open the wind-held door. Finding it futile, Jeff remembered the lessons Leandra had so patiently taught him. Jeff concentrated on opening the door, and it swung open, allowing him to rush out onto the deck, with a slightly stunned Demetrius following him. Demetrius led the way to the rails, pointing in the direction that Holly had fallen overboard. The waves kept pounding against the vessel, threatening to take someone else overboard with each passing minute. Jeff looked around frantically, hoping to catch a glimpse of his sister in the churning water. Unable to find her, Jeff decided to try locating her with his mind. Closing his eyes, he began searching for the thoughts he knew would be emanating from his sister. When he was finally able to locate her, Jeff could tell his sister was about to give up. Her struggles against the waves growing weaker, Jeff knew he would have to act quickly. Concentrating fully, Jeff sent his psionic arm to pluck his sister from the rolling waves, being careful not to let her fall from its grasp. With a gasp, Demetrius watched Holly coming back to the boat, appearing to float in mid-air. As Holly approached the craft, the storm suddenly died, its fury seemingly spent.

"What's going on here?" Demetrius asked as Holly neared the boat. Not hearing the older man, Jeff waited until Holly was safely back on board before he rushed to her. Taking her hands in his, Jeff began scanning her body, wanting to see what he would need to do to make her well again. When Jeff saw water in her lungs, he grew worried, afraid he might hurt the baby she carried. Knowing he had to do something or he would lose both of them, Jeff began compressing her lungs, trying to get her to expel the water. When Holly began coughing, Jeff turned her onto her side, wanting to prevent her from choking on the water spewing forth from her lungs. As soon as Jeff saw Holly coming to, he scooped her up into his arms and carried her to the room he was sharing with Sara. After he reached the door, he kicked it a couple of times to get Sara to open it. Once the door swung open, Jeff walked swiftly to the bed to lay Holly on it. Knowing Holly would be uncomfortable, Jeff put her to sleep, letting her body heal itself in slumber.

"Is she going to be okay?" Sara asked, her fear evident in her voice.

"Yeah, she got rid of all the water in her lungs, and the baby is fine, too," Jeff replied, realizing the mistake he had made as soon as the words left his mouth.

"The baby? How far along is she?" Sara asked, the questions tumbling out of her mouth. Jeff knew he would lose her if he told her the truth, but he couldn't turn his back on his sister, either. Motioning for Sara to sit on the bed by his sister, Jeff decided to explain everything, not wanting lies to ever come between them.

"Okay, I know this is going to be tough to believe. Shit, it's happening to me and it's hard for me to believe," he began. Sara nodded, waiting for him to go on.

"A couple of weeks ago, I went to school just like any other day. My teacher told me to wait after class, and when class was over, she gave me a ring. It made it where I could use my mind to move things and other stuff. After that, all sorts of weird shit started happening, Diana showed up and started teaching me how to use a sword, and some weird guy came flying down telling us that a game was going to be starting soon with me as one of the people playing," he told her.

"What's that got to do with Holly being pregnant?" Sara asked, totally confused by what Jeff had told her.

"Well, another thing that happened is Holly and I made love and it's my baby she's having," he told her, his head hanging down when he saw the hurt on his girlfriend's face.

"You're the father?" she asked, the shock and rage showing plainly on her face. Knowing he had hurt this girl who had given her heart and virginity to him, Jeff could only nod in reply.

"You made love with me and your own sister is carrying your baby? You lied to me. How could you do that to me? I trusted you," she cried, sobs wracking her body.

"I wanted to tell you before, I just couldn't think of a way to do it. I just found out she was pregnant," he told her. Upon hearing these words, Sara could bear it no longer.

"We may be on the same boat, but I don't ever want to see you again," she cried, running from the room. Sara ran blindly down the corridor until she reached the door leading out to the deck. As Jeff watched Sara race out of the room, he knew he had hurt her deeply, but if he hadn't claimed his child he knew he would have hurt Holly. After getting dressed, Jeff decided to take Holly to her own room when he heard a sudden scream. Racing out to the deck, Jeff saw a monster heading straight for Sara. He had heard of sea serpents before, but he had never imagined seeing one in real life. Its green scales and the dagger-like teeth in its enormous mouth sent chills down Jeff's spine.

"Diana, come quick and bring my sword!" he yelled, hoping she would bring it to him in time. When Diana raced out on deck, she quickly handed the sword to Jeff, and then stepped back, wanting to let him handle it. Taking his sword in hand, Jeff rushed to protect Sara, placing his body between her and the sea serpent. The monster kept advancing, swaying back and forth as it slithered toward its new target. Jeff's sword flashed, the steel cutting through the air and making a small slash on the monster's side.

"Sara, get out of here!" Jeff yelled, wanting to make sure she was safe. The monster continued its slow trek toward Jeff, its head mesmerizing in its movements. Jeff began his own advance, his sword whirling in a devilish dance of death, slicing through the air until it connected once again with the scaly flesh of the enormous adversary. The gigantic head withdrew for a moment, to allow the monster to gather itself for one final assault. Jeff knew this might be his last chance as he prepared to deliver what he hoped would be a fatal blow. When the serpent began to move toward him again, Jeff stood there, waiting for the opening he knew would come soon. When the monster raised its head for one final strike, Jeff buried his sword deep in its throat, twisting the weapon before withdrawing it. Too late, the serpent began slithering back over the rails, its life's blood spilling onto the deck. With a splash, it disappeared from sight, sinking to the depths of the ocean. Diana watched the serpent sinking into the briny depths, a satisfied smile on her face. She knew this had been a test, and her student had passed with flying colors. Wanting to leave the couple alone, Diana went to see the navigator to tell him what had transpired.
