"So, you found him?" The sneering voice of ruger interups our group session. He walks up, covered in soot, and dust. the smell of smoke was strong, and I found myself backing into the water once again.
Torro grabs my arm, and Ornii shakes his brown, shaggy hair, walking to my side, whispering in my ear, "We have to tell him how it wil be from now on."
Ruger overhears us, and smirks, "So, now you finally get the idea to ovethrow me? Took you long enough. but I'm sorry to say that our party is now over. It was fun, " He pulls a knife out and we all tense. The water rises aound my feet, the waves becoming stronger, and getting warmer.
The cuircus was burnt to the ground. all that was left visible was ash. Ruger didn't just burn my tent, but all of them.
My gut clenches, "Phin! The animals! Go! Now!" He goes pale, and runs on swift feet, Eliot chasing after him. I hd no idea which was safer, but I took my chances with Phin. He could use the help. T'oile looks at me, and I nod.
Ruger lets those two leave, "Well, no problem. So you five are realy gonna fight the one who saved you from being social outcasts?"
T'oile growls. She was like an animal, but she never spoke. She ran toward him, pulling out her contortions staff, digging it into the groud before using it as a spring board to just at his face, she hits her mark with bare feet. he grunts, but is till standing.
Ornii joins in, as her guard, he took a few blows from ruger for her, but the gun came out of nowhere.
Bang!
Ornii falls, his eyes filled with suprise. the ash is falling into the water now I hear Torro yel, and run towards him, as Ruger tunrs towards T'oile. I scream, fear running through my veins, the water is boiling.
A shock as i see the fire of the barrel...
A jolt of cool saltwater...
something coats me. it was warm... Water?
No. it smelt like iron... My eyes open, and I see T'oile stairing at me, she is covered in blood. Torro staring at Ornii, screaming his name, and Phin and Eliot running back, the animals safe... something cool wraps around my waist, jjust before I'm pulled under i see a knife sicking out of T'oiles's leg. I try to yell at her, but I fall underwater, dragged down but something. I softly hit the ground...
The water is stained pink and grey. The waves become soft... my eyes close.
~~~
There was a shark,i knew it, but the water was pitch black... i couldn't move.
I knew it wa close, just circling me...
what do i do? I try to struggle, scream, but only find water flooding me. I couldn't breathe. The water fills me from head to toe... and I feel my fins grow, and the once soft purple was stained with red... the shark was moving in, and i could now see a bright blue light, i look away... my chest hurts... Struggling for breath, I gasp and find myself choking... What's happening?
