"Yo Alissa!" I turn around to see Nezha running up to me
"Hi?" I jokingly question before he wraps his arm around me trapping me in a headlock and ruffling my hair with his free hand
"I have a question for ya" he says with a smile, I finally slip out of the headlock and look up at him
"Go on" I say, fixing my hair while looking at him
"Ok so, me, Suo and Xun are going to go Shark Cage-Diving and wanna know if ya wanna come with" he says, I freeze in place
"Wait...Shark Cage-Diving..." I mumble, THAT'S WHAT ROXAS AND THE OTHERS WENT TO GO DO WHAT THE FUCK!?
"Ya" Nezha sighs "knowing how you are I was pretty sure you wouldn't wanna go"
"No! I'll go!" I protested, flailing my arms around in front of me as I talked
"You sure?" He questions, growing up the way I was, I learned that when I'm underwater in the seas I'll feel claustrophobic and I'll panic, him, Xun and Suo were there to experience it before
"Yes I'm 100% sure! Where are the boys now?" I confirmed before asking another question
"They're waiting for me at the deck area right now, we decided to get there before the crew does" he explains
"Alright, I'll do it" I confirm again before Nezha leads me to the area, once we get there Lu Xun was the first to notice me and ran up to me before hugging me, and me compared to him I'm small as fuck
"You came!" He says with a mixture of shock and happiness within his voice
"Yep, I guess I'll give it a shot for once since we did something else and..you know" I shrugged
"Ya" he says, I smile as I raised my arm up and brought my hand to the top of Xun's head and ruffled his hair
"You're adorable" I say
"Well, I do kinda play the role of being a "older brother" for ya" he says, just then the crew came over to us as I turned I was completely shocked
"Zhong Hui What the fuck are you doing here?" I ask
"Long time no see" the male says laughing "I work here for the whole Shark thingy thing ya know"
"When was that?" I question
"A long time ago, I'm shocked you said my full name tho" he says
"Right *ahem* Zhong what the fuck?" I redo the beginning of me being shock causing him and the others to laugh, we go to the end of the deck where there's a boat but connected to the deck to our right was an area for us to change into the suits for these things "Oh god..." I mumbled, after switching to the suits we got into the boat as Zhong turned the engine on and started driving the boat out towards the middle of the seat with the crew at the other end of the boat with the shark proof cage and then there's me and the boys sitting in the middle. I felt a hand on my back causing me to look to my right
"Glad you came, you know?" Suo says
"Guan Suo I swear" I say making him smile and almost laugh
"You know you love me" he says
"Of course" I say laughing, then the boat slowed to a stop and the crew members had set the cage into the water and made sure the chain was still in place for this
"Ok who's first?" Zhong asks, I feel Suo pushing me forward gently
"Ladies first" he says as I turned to see him smirking
"Boy I swear after this I'll kill you" I say jokingly, walking up to Zhong
"I see you guys get along" he says grinning as he grabbed the air tank and the mask, handing me the air tank first "alright, put this on first" I grabbed the tank by the straps and put it on my back like you would with a backpack "ok now check the air meter" I look at the little circle meter bar thing built within the tank that showed a dash at the first red meter mark followed by more red ones then orange then green then red again showing the number of how many minutes I have until the tank runs out "what's the number?" Zhong asks
"200" I answer looking at him
"Ok, now, whatever you do, do NOT breathe so much even if you're freaking out, the more you breathe in the more you lost oxygen in the tank" he explains, I nod understandingly. Zhong hands me the mask as I turned to walk over to the cage as he dealt with the others. Once we all were standing on the cage looking at the square shaped opening at the top of the cage, Lu Xun steps forward towards it
"I'll go first" he says, he sits on the edge before grabbing the sides of the opening and sliding through underwater. Then Suo went, then Nezha, then I went into the cage.
"We're bringing you guys down to 5 meters that's where you'll see the sharks the most" Zhong's voice says through the mic built within our masks, I grabbed onto the bars to my left of the cage as the cage started moving down slowly
"This is actually not that bad" I admit
"See, told you you'd be fine" Nezha says
"Nez, you didn't say shit" I say making Xun start coughing before laughing
"Jesus you ok?" Suo asks looking at the brunette with a grin
"Ya I'm good" he says still laughing, then an idea popped into my head
"Xun, what you choking on?" I asked with a smirk causing Suo and Nez to start laughing, then Zhong's voice was heard through the mic
"Jesus what do you guys do?"
"Everything" Nezha says after finally calming down from laughing, once we were calm we noticed the cage was done moving and the meter number on the cage said 5.
"Whoa you guys see this?" Xun asks
"What?" I question as I let go of the bars and swam over to the male at the front of the cage whose gaze was locked on a Great White Shark, I froze, staring at the thing the same way Xun was
"Holy shit that thing is huge" Suo says, coming up on the other side of the male next to me
"There's another one!" Nezha exclaims coming up on the other side of me, Xun shakes his head for a second before looking around
"Where?!" He asks just as another Great White Shark passed the cage VERY closely causing Xun to push against the bars with his hands to make him back away-as for me not noticing him holding onto the bars- "whoa holy shit!" All of a sudden there was a noise as if it was metal being bent so it would break as the cage moved a slight bit as if someone lifted it up then let go for a split second but it didn't do much, on reflex I grabbed ahold of the bars in front of me and refused to myself to let go of them as the boys then looked at me
"Is everything alright down there?" Zhong's voice asks, Xun looks up
"We want to come up now" he says, I looked over at him
"No! I'm fine, see!" I tried to get him to change his mind, I was showing signs that I wasn't ok but I didn't wanna ruin this
"No, It's fine, Lis" he says looking at me before looking back up, Nez continued to look at me saying
"Ya we'll come up" thing was, they sensed something was going to happen, it wasn't me they were worried about it was that noise that caused the cage to move.
"Alright, we'll bring you guys up" Zhong says as the cage was slowly rising up
"Guys what's wrong?" I question, Suo looks at me
"You know that noise that moved the cage right?" He asks
"Oh that's why we're coming back up? I thought it was me for a moment" I said
"Ya, I grabbed the bars too don't worry" Suo says-I didn't even notice I got so scared-all of a sudden we heard the same noise again but longer, then it hit me
"Guys..." I said almost like a whimper before looking up "ZHONG WAI-" all of a sudden there was what sounded like metal snapping and the cage started sinking down at a very fast speed causing all of us to scream as each of us grabbed onto the bars of the cage, I held onto the bars to the square sized door at the top of the cage which was locked closed by a small pole on the outside. After a while the cage landed on ground and we all stopped screaming, there was only sound from all of us breathing heavily. I opened my eyes and looked around, it was dark around us but if we went a few meters up higher there'd be light from the sun but because of me seeing the darkness I started breathing heavily and breathing in and out fast as if I'm hyperventilating.
"Alissa! Lis, hey!" Nez's voice says through the mic as I was grabbed by my shoulders and was turned to face him "calm down, you're using up the air!" He says, I nod trying to calm down
"Right, right... I know" I mumbled "how far down are we?" We turn and see Suo swimming over to where the number meter was shown on the cage and says
"50 meters down"
