Chapter 4: Surge {Danica}

            I woke up at the bottom of AA’s pool. Oh I felt so good. I’d never felt so alive. I sat up and kicked the ground hard, propelling me quickly to the top; I broke the still surface of the water and clung to the edge of the pool, gasping for air. I guess I made a big splash because Rion woke up from his nap on the floor just a foot from me.

            “Hey Rion. Thank you so much for getting me to the pool! I felt like I was going to DIE. I feel so much better now,” I said.

            “Did you surface just now?” he asked. I thought it was a stupid question.

            “Yeah, why? People have to surface, don’t they?” I laughed, but he kept his face straight. Something wasn’t right.

            Then he laughed, “Yeah right, that couldn’t have been the first time you surfaced,” he laughed again.

            “But it was,” I said with a serious face.

            “Ha ha. You’re hilarious. No one can stay under water for three hours straight,” he stood up, laughing again.

            I couldn’t move. Three hours? Impossible, but Rion wouldn’t lie to me like that.

            Rion handed me a towel and right when I reached for it, something stabbed me in the stomach. Electricity.

It ran from my stomach to my spine and to my everywhere. I let go of the poolside instinctively. I was certain I was supposed to lose consciousness, but I didn’t. I couldn’t more, either, and below me, I could see a dark hole and I was floating toward it faster and faster, as if it was sucking me into it. I still couldn’t more. Then I decided to close my eyes and sleep through my death. And, oh once again, Rion my hero grabs my arm and pulls me out of the pool, killing my death dream. He was stronger than I remembered. This wasn’t the first time he’d saved me from something bad.

            I gasped for air, although I didn’t seem to really need it since the three hours. The ground was wet and Rion couldn’t help but slip while pulling me from my doom. I couldn’t tell, but I think Rion hit the ground too hard when he fell back and lost consciousness, although he did manage to keep my head from hitting the ground. Him taking the hit to the ground didn’t seem so needed. I fell on top of him and blacked out right away. Why did I black out after? It’s was like some kind of life force kept me from losing consciousness and then wore off after I got out of the water.
