Saving Me

M1). I've always been fascinated by the ocean and all of the sea creatures that live in it. That's partly why I'm on a boat today. I set down the anchor and then got dressed in my wetsuit and my flippers. I've been trained in diving and I've been diving since I was 15. I've been swimming since I was little though. I did swimming and diving in school, but the thing I love most is when you're underwater. It's like a different world when you're in there. I strapped the oxygen mask to my back and then put on my goggles and my oxygen mouth piece. I grabbed my camera and then jumped into the clear blue water. I usually dive by myself, but I tell people when I do dive just in case anything happened. I dived deep into the ocean and took pictures of turtles, fish, and some colorful plants. I made a good amount of money selling the pictures I take underwater. As I dived deeper, the water got a bit murky and it was getting harder to see. I found a sting ray at the bottom of the sandy bed. I was about to take a picture of it when it suddenly swam away. I looked around, knowing that wasn't good, but it was hard to see. I tried swimming back to the surface, but my foot got caught on something. As I looked down, I noticed a big mass coming towards me. I held my arms up and a giant bull shark had its giant jaws around my arm. I winced at the pain but I cleared my mind and did what my instincts told me to do. I made my free hand into a fist and used all my strength to punch it in the gills. I punched it a few times with no avail. I reached into the belt that was around my waist and pulled out my pocket knife. I flipped it open and stabbed the shark in the gills. The shark finally let go and swam away. The water quickly turned red from my blood. I had to hold my breath once the shark bit me because it also bit the tube that was connecting my oxygen mask to the oxygen tank. I could hold my breath for about three minutes, but the oxygen was quickly being used in my lungs. I tried to swim to the surface again but I forgot my foot was caught. I tried to untangle the fishing net from my foot but I was starting to panic. The need to breath was making it hard to focus. Black dots were starting to enter my vision when I saw a green tail fin and a human hand using some tool to cut the net. Once my foot was free, I felt arms around me and vaguely remember the sunlight coming in through the water. The moment my head breached the surface, I coughed up water and took in sweet oxygen. I felt myself being pushed onto the boat. I used my good arm to take off the oxygen tank from my back. I barely realized there was someone on my boat and the pain in my arm until a towel was wrapped around it. I winced and looked up at the person. I was really surprised to see a pretty handsome guy with a towel wrapped around my waist. The first words that came out of my mouth weren't 'thank you' or 'ow, my arm', it was, "What are you?" "Keep pressure on your arm if you don't want to die." He told me in a deep voice then went over to the anchor and pulled it out of the water. The pain in my arm caused me to lie back and squeeze it tightly. I stared at the blue sky, holding back the painful moans. I didn't realize we got back to port until I felt myself being lifted up in the air and the sight of a tanned chest. He carried me as I grabbed onto the necklace he was wearing tightly, my pathetic attempt to say 'I'm not letting go until I get answers.' "What are you?" I asked him in a weak voice. I was starting to feel light headed but I was fighting against the sleepy feeling. He ignored me and told some people to call the ambulance. "Answer me. I basically grew up in these waters so I know every fish and mammal in that water like the back of my hand. That green fin I saw wasn't a fish." I told him, starting to get slightly annoyed. His chest vibrated in a deep chuckle for some reason and then said, "You must be seeing things from the blood loss." I was about to say something when the loud sirens of the ambulance came to my ears. I gave him a hard stare as he set me down on the gurney. "I am not going anywhere until you tell me." I told him. "Let go." He told me in a stern voice. I gave a gently tug on his necklace so it'd come off of him, without breaking, and then the paramedics put me in the ambulance. As the doors of the ambulance closed and started driving away, I watched as the sexy guy in only a towel got farther away.
