I was awoken by a loud noise as if the ship had been hit by something. The light of the morning sun had already shone into the room through the window. I was still naked under the sheets, but Leon wasn't by my side. Last night's candle flame had already burned out, leaving only the wax oil.
Something must have happened outside. I had to go out and take a look.
I hurriedly put on my clothes. But then, I heard hurried footsteps coming from outside. When I got dressed, Leon said in a panic, "We're being attacked! They had hit the ship with a rock and it is about to sink!"
"Who are they?" asked I.
"I don't know, maybe pirates! Let's escape into the sea!"
"Let me see who they are!" I insisted on going to the deck first, but Leon didn't agree.
