The unwanted power

Chapter Five

I wake up before Adain does which means that I didn't sleep for more then a couple hours. Which is good because it feels like over the last few days I have slept more then I have In My entire life. Very carefully I slip my blanket off and get out of bed.

When my feet hit the ground I stumble a little but other then that Im fine. I don't have a headache I don't feel sick I can talk, every thing seems fine. Its like I was never sick in the first place. I head over to my dads room to see if he's awake, and he's not which means it must be really early.

It might be smart to actually look at what time it is. I head over to the kitchen to see what time it is. "It's only four o,clock. It feels like I slept forever but I guess I really didn't sleep long." I say to myself. Glad that my voice is working again, it doesn't feel like it even stopped working, it was probably just me overreacting to being sick.

I feel really good It feels like I have slept forever, I could run a marathon, with all the energy that I have right now. "I need to go swimming!" I shout! I need to get to the water, it just feels like the right thing to do. I rush to my room and almost open the door before realizing that Adain is still sleeping and that it is only 4:00.

I can't go swimming, right now,It's not light outside and swimming in the dark isn't safe, I'll wait y till dad wakes up before I go. I sit down on the couch For two hours before dad gets up. "Hey sweetie, how are you doing this morning. He asks as he joins  me on the couch.

"I actually feel really good it feels like I wasn't even sick at all! Can I go swimming?" I ask before I relive what I am saying. Dad probably doesn't want me going swimming, right now because one, it was still dark out and two I have been sick for the past two days. He leans over and feels my forehead.

"You definitely don't have a fever anymore, but I still don't t want you to go swimming. But if you can get trough breakfast and still feel fine then we can go swimming at the beach when Adain wakes up. Does that work?" I get up so  we can go swimming as soon as possible! "Yeah, that will work I guess.

I go into the kitchen and I start cooking eggs and bacon. It's my dads favorite. Once I finish cooking I set the table. My dad is looking at me with concern but I just shrug if off, I really don't feel like talking to him about last night and my nightmares I just wanted to pretend it didn't happen.

"Good morning sleepy head." I say as soon as Adain comes down stairs. "Come eat breakfast and then we can go swimming!" I'm not sure why but I really want to go swimming I want to feel the way the water cools me down. After being stuck inside so long I know I need to get outside and I know swimming is the best outdoor activity I can do.

I hurriedly eat my breakfast and then I head into my room to change into my swim suit. When I come back Adain is still eating! Ughh I really need to get outside. "Dad  going to head over to the beach will you guys meet me there? Thanks" I say before listening to what he has to say. I run out the door and down to the beach! It feels like it's been years since, I have been to it even though I went three days ago.

The beach is basically deserted like usual, I barley even take the time to take of my flip flops before I dive into the water! At first it feels amazing! But after a few minutes i start to feel a small pain in my stomach. It wasn't necessarily a sharp pain but it was strong enough that it hurt. It feels like something I've felt before but I don't know what it is, or when I've felt it before.

It starts to hurting a little bit more, I come above the water, everything looks fine my arms feel fine I don't feel sick or anything, what is wrong? I just ignore it and try to go back under water but it still hurts. It just doesn't feel right! "I should go back to shore." I think to myself.

I start swimming towards shore when suddenly the pain gets worse, I don't know what's going on but it hurts a lot.  The errors thing Is that it only my stomach that hurts not anything else. I try to keep swimming wanting to get out of the water so I can be able to breath and stop working my muscles so  hard. But it is hard to swim, I find my arms aren't wanting to move my legs are tired My muscles are sore. It starts to get hard to keep myself up.

My whole body just stops working and I feel myself slowly but surely go under water. I swim back up to the surface and take a breath but I don't get much air before I'm pulled back under. I can't breath and the pain in my stomach is getting worse, and it doesn't help that I am panicking. I'm pulled down again I try to swim up but I can't my body won't move I try and try to get up to the surface but I can't!

When I physically can't move anymore I stop trying knowing that I can't do anything about it. All I see is blue for miles and miles I can't even see where the surface is. I keep sinking and sinking. One more time i push and use all the energy I have left -knowing g that if I can't get up then I'll be stuck down here forever- I try to swim up. It doesn't work I am still stuck under water and I'm running out of air.

The reality, of what is happened just sunk in I wasn't just playing in the water. I am drowning!
