"Hello." She screamed out only for her voice to echo.

"Can anybody hear me?" She yelled out again

"Erik? Okoye? T'Challa? Shuri?" She cried again. No matter what she did, Amina was trapped in a black box. She could see nothing for hours on end. Her perception of time was off and she knew it was probably just a few minutes, but the box and the silence was making her feel like she was going crazy.

Pounding her fist on the walls of the box, she realized that it rippled. "What the hell?" She said as she pounded the wall again. And again. And again. And again, until she teared a hole in the wall. It took a few minutes for anything to happen, leaving Amina in a panic as water started to fill up the box. "Oh fuck." She said trying to clog up the hole with her hands only for the water to rush in faster. As the water rose Amina thought that the only way out was to swim.

So she held her breath as the water got higher and she went under.

Erik's Pov

Beep. Beep. Beep. That was the only sound that was heard in the room Amina laid in. Her head bandaged up and swollen from the blow she took when she hit the tree. Honestly she was fucking stupid for even putting herself in danger like that. But if it wasn't for her stupid, we probably would all be dead right now.

Queen Mother walked in handing me a cup of coffee, before sitting on the edge of Amina's bed. It was quiet. As it was like the day before and then the days before that. We sat like that, unmoving and still, only the sounds of Amina's respiratory machine going off.

"You know, before I married T'Chaka, N'Jobu and I had a secret romance. One that we had since the beginning of our adolescence." Queen mother says breaking the silence. "I had travelled to America with him before T'Chaka's coronation and lived a life of wild, virtuous young adults." She continued. I don't know where this story was headed but I didn't want to hear the ending of it, and something in my gut was preventing me from saying anything.

Amina's Pov

"I had travelled to America with him before T'Chaka's coronation and lived a life of wild, virtuous young adults." A voice said as I swam around looking for the surface of the damn water. "Stop." A deeper voice said and something was pulling me to it. I don't know what it was but that voice sounded so familiar and I needed to hear it again. "Amina wake up." A voice with a thick Wakandan accent said. I shrugged it off and kept swimming.
