Bonded (a planetary RP)

Aster gathered fresh air into her lungs before diving into the icy water below. She waited a moment to allow her vision to adjust but thankfully the lanterns of the ship casted an orange glow over the dark surface of the water. Aster dove beneath the ship, and found the captain and creature there. The captain was alive, held by the creature's tentacles, but she couldn't say how long it be before the creature ate him. Aster pulled on the rope hard, twice, and swam closer to the creature's head to gain his attention.
(Hey, octopus/ squid skin is pretty rubbery and tough. Splinters of ship won't cut it. Literally. XD)

The captain watched the human pull herself toward him, just as his vision started to blur with little black dots. He had a pen-knife in his pocket. If only he could reach it. His lungs screamed for air. He thrashed and squirmed until he could get a bite on the arm. He clamped down. Hard.

The beast loosened its grip just enough for him to pull the knife out, but not enough to open it. He let it fall just as the tentacle squeezed out the lat of his air.
Jack pushed the anchor over bored This better work!

Aster struggled with the nearly impossible weight of the anchor as she used the rope to guide the anchor into the creature's. She watched in relief as the anchor slid down the throat of the creature. When it finally landed in the pit of the creature's mouth the weight of the anchor began to drag the creature to the ocean floor where she anticipated the creature would be unable to move until it died, or if it did manage to move the anchor would tear a hole through it's stomach. As the creature lowered from Aster's sight she moved towards the captain and helped to free from the creature's tentacles as its grip was momentarily loosened.
 
But it didn't sink all the way to the bottom.

The hull was going down. Water was rising to the ceiling, just over Jack's head. Captain vanished with the kraken just as an enormous shadow latched onto it. Then a deep trumpet came from the deep. The ship trembled. Waves crashed on the surface, and the squid resurfaced. Captain hung on by a limp tentacle as it rose three stories into the air. He gasped for air just as his hands began to slip.

A gruesome head emerged from the watery froth, belting out another trumpet. Captain lost his grip. He slid down the squid's arm, trying to dig his fingers into the slippery flesh. The arm got thinner and thinner until his fingers grasped at nothing at all. He landed with at thud on the kraken eater's head.

Jack gasped for breath but he could not keep his head above the water he froze up in terror

Aster gestured for the captain to swim out of the creature's reach but the kraken quickly reclaimed him and they both disapeared below a dark layer of water. Aster watched in horror as the end of the rope tangled around her ankle, and the creature dragged her down with it. She bent to free herself but the rope only tightened around her leg until it cut deeply into her flesh. She lunged upward in the water hoping to break the rope, but instead a loud crack erupted in the water as the opposing forces broke her leg. She tried to scream, but the sound was muffled and the last of her air stripped from her lungs. As the kraken resurfaced she felt herself pulled near the surface, but she was too weak to move herself upward.
