Missing in Venice

Even with her mighty engines in reverse,the ocean liner was pulled further and further into the canal.

The ship was called The Mighty, it was gleaming white and shining black.Catarina and Lorenzo didn't see it coming.

Sophie was living the dream, she was in charge of the whole ship. Finally her dream had come true! She steered the ship toward the little islands port, "This is a breeze." She thought.

Cat opened the little box, "Oh Lo." she gasped. Inside the box was a silver heart on a chain, it was only half a heart, it fitted perfectly with the other half around his neck. It was kind of cheesy but she liked that sort of thing.

Sophie was in a panic, the brakes weren't working and the boat was heading out of control towards the little island that was Venice,
even with her mighty engines in reverse,the ocean liner was pulled further and further into the canal.

Cat cried out as the impact of the great ship smashed through their secret hideout in the abandoned theater, Lo screamed and grabbed blindly for her as she fell, her face forever an expression of pure shock and terror. Catarina fell into the canal and sank.

Lorenzo threw his chain into the canal, where it was reunited with it brother for the last time, together they were buried and lost in the sand.
