Dameon and i spent the next day slacking in our house, watching tv and using the internet. We were too lazy and tired from all the exciting days we had. Mom and dad brought back take aways for us, "Food's home! Want to watch a movie?" Dad asked as he placed 3 different types of pizza, honey drumsticks, chocolate cupcakes and pepsi on the table. Dameon licked his lips as he started biting off meat from the drumstick like he hasnt eaten for days.
"Relax Daemon there's lots of food, dont choke" I chuckled as i poured myself a drink while dad set up the movie player. We watched 'Garfield' together and then went for a steam bath. After feeling all filled and refreshed, we set out for the beach and went window shopping.
"This is the best holiday ever, nothing went wrong and everyone is so happy" I said with a grin on my face and everyone agreed. But i never knew, i talked too soon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We watched the sun set on a bench near the sea and then walked back to our house for the next day to begin. Our parents retired into their rooms while Dameon and i lazed around on the sofa watching cartoons, not able to sleep as we slept for almost the whole day.
"Hey sis, wanna go surf? Its only 8 and there's still people out there." I thought about it for awhile, then we grabbed our boards and went out to the ocean, forgetting to tell our parents. We surfed big waves and small waves, sometimes we could hardly see.
After a long time, we both stopped and looked around. Realising that everyone was gone and we lay back on our boards and pedalled slowly, i felt a surge of uneasiness over coming my whole body. I sat up and looked for my brother, he was out of my reach but save enough and close to shore.
Suddenly, i saw a dark and huge object swimming around underneath his board, i screamed, "DAMEON! SWIM TO SHORE NOW! AND QUICK! THERE IS A SHARK!" I swam furiously towards shore.
When i was safe, i turn around realising my brother was still where he was, "DAMEON!" He looked at me a laughed, "Come on sis! Jacob said there wasnt any sharks here!" He proved to me by getting off his board. I was petrified, "COME TO SHORE NOWWWW!!" I was crying while trying to beg him to come to shore.
Papa Rock must have heard my screams and raced to the beach, but he came too late, *Crunch* the sound of broken bones and the colour of blood was everywhere. Papa Rock still tried to shoo off the shark, but i didnt see how, i was too scared to notice anything. After a while i heard the groaning of my little brother next to me, i turn and saw the nasty bites and chunks of loose flesh.
Jacob ran towards us while trying to call the ambulance, "GO TELL YOUR PARENTS!" Papa Rock shouted at me. I took a while to realise what he said and ran as fast as i could to my parents bedroom.
I knock furiously on the door, "Hey hey calm down, whats wrong honey?" My dad's soft voice answered. "Dameon, Da.. he... shark, blood, everywhere" That was more than enough for my dad to understand, he ran to the beach as mom grabbed me and followed after him.
Papa Rock tried his best to keep my brother alive, but he was loosing too much blood, and too fast. I cried and cried "Sorry, sorry, i didnt mean for this to happen! Im so sorry" I cried even louder as mom hugged me even tighter.
Dameon looked deathly pale and he was loosing his senses "Dont pass out Dameon, the ambulance will be here soon!" Dad's pleading voice was loud as he grabbed on to Dameon's hand and trying to rub it warm.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ambulance came as the paramedics bandaged Dameon as much as they could while trying to put on the oxygen mask, his heart beat was getting weaker as we approached the hospital. "Its all my fault, its all my fault! I shouldnt have agreed to go the the beach with him and i should have told you" I cried badly while mom herself wasnt any better than me.
"Its not your fault honey" Dad tried to calm me down, "Nobody expected sharks on this island" That only made me cry louder.
As we reached the hospital, Dameon was rushed to the emergency room, nurses and doctors were running around, screaming orders and pushing bags of blood around while dad was being questioned about Dameon. My head buzzed and my ear stinged all i could think about was praying that Daemon would make it. 'I would trade whatever i can with him, and do whatever he says when he's healthy' I prayed in my head.
A nurse came to me and put a towel over me, that was only then i realised i was still wet and cold wearing the wet suit all the way to the hospital. I kept crying non stop until the doctor stepped out of the emergency room.
Mom, dad and i ran towards him and bombarded him with questions. He answered back calmly "He is still in life danger now, but we need you to sign this form so we can amputate his left leg, other than that, he has some really bad cuts and sratches and needs a lot of stiches. We need someone to fuse blood from because we are running out of blood." Dad rushed to sign the form while mom and i rushed to fuse blood to donate to Dameon.
"I would trade all my blood just to get Dameon back" I said, mom looked at me and scream "Dont you dare! Dameon would live!" She cried and cried, "Sorry mom, its all my fault" I told her regretfully.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After 3 hours of frantic madness, Dameon was pushed out of the operation room. He looked so bad i think i wouldnt even recognise him, he was left in the ICU while mom, dad and i sat outside praying for hope that he'll survive.
A doctor came and told us his situation, "He lost 80% of his blood, thank goodness he came in not any later than he was and our hospital had just had a blood donation drive. Otherwise he wouldnt have made it.
It was the worse day of my life but i felt relieved that Dameon made it back to us and not left us early. "I would do anything to make it up to you" i whispered softly against the cold glass window.
