The waters called. She slightly opened her eyes and looked around, only to find a dark, watery grave all around her.
That's it, then. She really was dying.
But, to feel this kind of calm?
She never really expected death to be this painless and peaceful. It's as if all the pain that was torturing her suddenly went away, with this sensation of peacefulness replacing it.
She closed her eyes, and went back to sleep.
Went back to sleep.
Sleep.
Sleep.
Sleep.
"NO!"
She suddenly heard this unknown voice, tearing into the silence of her surroundings. She abruptly opened her eyes, and noticed an unexplainable thing sped past her like a blur of bubbles. It went directly above her towards the surface.
Only then did she feel some sensation burning in her stomach. She tried to pinpoint what was wrong with her, but all of a sudden, she did feel she was suddenly drowning.
Of course, she was just lying to herself that she wasn't already drowning. Yes, she was. And she was willing to do just that.
But, even before she could die peacefully, she felt an unknown pair of hands pulling her forcefully towards the surface against her own will.
No. She thought helplessly. Let me die! Don't do this to me! NO!
And just like that, she was effortlessly pulled towards the surface where she saw a blinding light.
The cool air penetrated her already shivering skin, and she felt really heavy. She stumbled on the ground, still unable to comprehend what was going on all around her.
Only that she could hear frantic voices shouting at her.

"But - "
"Can't you see? She's dying!"
"Alright!" A male voice agreed hesitantly, then she felt a strong pair of hands grabbing her by her shoulders. And before she could even complain, she felt herself being kissed by this man.
No, she was not being kissed. She felt she was being given CPR.
And work it did, for a few moments later, she coughed up the water that was killing her.
Unfortunately, she was saved. She's alive.
She slightly opened her eyes, wanting to see who meddled with her plans, depriving her of her death, when she saw a silhouette so achingly familiar that it actually made her unconscious, hearing the voices once more before darkness consumed her.
