  1. Prey.
  2.  
  3. I attacked!
  4.  
  5. Lunged with my huge mouth open. Clamped down, tore with my teeth, tossed my head.
  6.  
  7. <Aaaaahhhh!> something cried in my head. <Who's biting me? Geez, a chunk of my tail is gone! Hey, I was using that!>
  8.  
  9. That voice - it sounded familiar. Jake. Jake! I'd attacked him!
  10.  
  11. Suddenly, I remembered who I was. Rachel. I struggled against the shark brain. Fought to regain control. Tobias had warned us. Stupidly, arrogantly, I'd thought he was being overly cautious.
  12.  
  13. I'd been wrong.
  14.  
  15. <Jake, you okay?> I asked. <I - I lost control.>
  16.  
  17. <Yeah, I'm okay. I'm having a hard time calming the shark's mind, too,> Jake said. <The blood is driving it crazy.>
  18.  
  19. (...)
  20.  
  21. We swam on. First Jake. Then Cassie, Ax, Tobias, and me. Concentrating on the goal - stop the Helmacrons - to avoid eating one another alive.
  22.  
  23. The current dragged us along the narrow tunnel of blood. A tunnel not completely dark, but extremely dim.
