Spoiler: Chapter 30 pages 01 - 10
The story begins aboard the yacht Athena, which is caught in an extremely violent and unexpected storm. Huge waves are hitting the yacht, heavy rain is falling, and the boat is being thrown around by the rough sea.
Martin, Victoria, Lucas, and Carl are on board. Everyone is becoming increasingly frightened as the situation gets worse. They realize that simply staying below deck and waiting for the storm to pass may not be enough.
Victoria tells Martin that they need to do something and suggests going to the wheelhouse to speak directly with Captain Darnell. Martin explains that he cannot control the yacht. Victoria makes it clear that she simply wants to understand what is happening.
Meanwhile, water begins entering the yacht and flooding the floor. Lucas becomes particularly frightened, worrying that the yacht is going to sink. Everyone tries to remain calm, but the worsening conditions make it increasingly difficult.
When they reach the wheelhouse, Captain Darnell explains that the storm is much larger than expected and appeared suddenly. He tried to correct the yacht's course, but the weather and enormous waves prevented him from safely turning the vessel around.
Victoria asks Darnell to turn the yacht back toward the island so they can wait out the storm. However, Darnell explains that turning back is no longer possible. The yacht is taking on too much water, and the pumps cannot keep up with the flooding.
Darnell then sends out an emergency “Mayday” call, informing rescuers that the Athena is caught in a severe storm, taking on water, and losing control.
The situation becomes critical. Darnell tells everyone that the yacht will not remain afloat for much longer and that they must prepare to abandon it. The lifeboat is prepared while Darnell does whatever he can to keep the yacht under control.
Martin and Victoria are extremely worried about Lucas and Carl. Victoria is terrified that something might happen to them. Martin tries to reassure her and tells her that they have to stay positive and trust Darnell's judgment.
Eventually, Darnell makes it clear that the evacuation is not a drill. Everyone is told to get ready because the yacht is in immediate danger.
As they move toward the evacuation, Lucas panics, saying that he is not a strong swimmer and is afraid he will not survive if they end up in the water. He is reassured that they do not have to swim across the ocean—they need to get everyone safely into the lifeboat.
By the end of page 10, the Athena is in serious danger of sinking, the storm is still raging, and everyone is preparing to abandon the yacht and escape in the lifeboat.
