Lu Xun quickly swam over to me and had put a hand against my back looking at me
"Calm down, you're fine" he says reassuringly "just breathe slowly" I nod, looking over to my right through the darkness before seeing a flashlight beam faintly. My breathing goes back to normal as I bring myself closer to the bars to get a better look at the beam
"Is that a flashlight beam?" I question
"Where?" Nezha asks swimming over to me and Xun and seeing the flashlight beam with Suo next to him
"We gotta get there" Suo says, all of a sudden there's a beeping noise coming from me as I check my air meter
"I'm at 15" I say, the boys quickly checks theirs
"I'm at 17" Nezha says
"Same here" Xun says
"16" Suo says looking back up at all of us
"I'm going to go get that flashlight" Nezha says, opening the cage door and going through it
"I'm going with you" Xun says, swimming after him "Suo, stay here and watch Alissa"
"Already on it" Suo says moving over to me
"Do you think we'll make it out of here?" I ask quietly looking at the darker brunette-darker than Xun's brunette color-male
"Ya, we gotta" he says looking at me
"I'm going to be the first one to run out of air..." I mumble then afterwards I start laughing
"What?" Suo questions
"Let's just hope I don't start hallucinating from all of these chemicals from the tank" I say, I watch the boys leave to the flashlight beam "guys I need you to listen to me, those sharks will see you if you're not close to the ocean floor. Get as close down to the ocean floor as you can. Whatever you do, do NOT go where there's no ocean floor especially when you can't see what's underneath you, that's where the sharks stay close around" I say, even if I'm horrible with trying to breathe underwater with my condition I'm still smart enough to warn them
"Ya, that's true. Thanks" Xun's voice says through the mic
"How do you know all of this?" Nezha questions
"I may not be good underwater with my condition but I'm smart" I say
"She has a point" Suo says
"What do you think Aris would do if he could see you now?" Xun asks, I stayed silent for a moment before looking at Suo who was looking at me and we both started laughing "what?" Xun asks
"We would lose his shit!" I say laughing
"He would be coming down here himself just to get her out of here! Then sue the people who own the cage" Suo says laughing also
"Oh my god that's so true" Nezha says laughing a bit, he stops swimming as he puts his arm out in front of Xun to stop him causing the male to look down
"Oh shit.." he breathes out
"What? What's going on?" Suo asks
"Um...we're at like a some sort of cliff..." Nezha says
"We can't see anything underneath us pass this cliff thing, the flashlight beam is close though" Xun explains, my grip around the bars in front of me tightened as I looked down with my eyes close-trying to think of a way around this-Suo looks at me worriedly knowingly
"There's no way around..." I say lifting my head up to look the direction the 2 left
"Then we can just be fast and careful right? We just swim to the flashlight, grab it and come back" Nezha says
"It's not that simple tho, Nez!" I say "if that flashlight belongs to one of Zhong's men you have to bring him to us! You have to look at your surroundings while you're out there!"
"We will, don't worry everything will be ok" Xun says
"Be careful" I say
"Will do" Xun replies as him and Nezha carefully but quickly make their way off of the cliff and swim towards the flashlight beam. Halfway to the flashlight, Xun turns around to look behind him and Nezha swimming backwards before turning back forward just as him and the other male made it to the beam. It was a flashlight sitting on a rock in which underneath reached all the way down to who knows where, Nezha grabs the flashlight and turns to Xun
"One of his men has to be down here.." he says
"Ya" Xun says before turning around to face the direction they came from "Alissa" he got no response from me
"Suo?" Nezha questions also facing the direction that Xun is facing and got no response from him
"We're out of range" Xun says as all of a sudden something swims up pass behind them causing them both to yell out in fear and moving forward to turn and see what the cause of that was to see a Shark swimming away in the distance but quickly turning around
"SHIT GO GO GO!" Xun yells grabbing Nez's arm and pulling the dirty blonde ahead in front of him as the 2 swam away back to the cliff. Once they made it back they got down on the ocean floor and hid under a cliff hanging part of a giant rock as the shark swam pass missing to get ahold of any of them.
"Shit shit shit shit dude you ok?!" Nezha asks looking over at the brunette next to him who was breathing as heavily as Nezha was from swimming so fast
"Ya I'm ok, you?" He replies looking back at him
"I'm good" he says, he turns and sees someone with the same mask and air tank as the rest of us and realizes it's one of Zhong's men but he was dead due to bleeding out because of a shark wound. He checks the guy he sees that the air tank is empty "shit!" Xun comes up next to him
"Hey he has a speargun and here's the hook!" Xun says grabbing the 2 items
"How are we going to tell Zhong that one of his men are dead?" Nez asks as all of a sudden they heard mine and Suo's voice through the Mics but our voices were breaking up due to the range
"Lis?" Xun asks moving out from underneath the cliff hanging part of the rock and looking around "hand me the flashlight" Nez gives the flashlight to Xun as he shines the flashlight around "guys if you see the flashlight hit the bars with or something or whatever" Nezha comes up next to him as I swam to the back of the cage to grab the pole lock that broke off of the cage and swam back to where Suo was and started banging the bars with it seeing the flashlight beam, then the beam started coming closer showing Xun and Nezha coming
"Jesus Christ I thought you guys were dead" I breathed out
"Sorry, shark came out of no where" Nezha apologizes
"You guys got the hook?" Suo questions seeing Xun holding it
"We found the guy Zhong sent, he's dead but he had the speargun and the hook" Xun explained as he swam to the top of the cage and hooked the hook to the clip thing that connected to some chains that were firmly hooked to the cage before swimming back into the cage
"Me and Suo will swim up there and let Zhong know that we have the hook connected to the cage" Nezha says before swimming up with Suo getting out of the cage and swimming after him. I turned and hugged Lu Xun, burying my face in his chest
"You fucking scared me don't do that!" I said
"Sorry" he laughs a little hugging me back "we're getting out of here"
"I know, can you believe it?" I ask
"After everything the 4 of us went through we deserve to get out of here" Xun says, there was a beeping noise so I checked my air meter and it showed 5 "Good thing we're getting out of here then huh?" He then says after seeing the number on my air meter also, I turned back to look at him with a smile
"Ya"
"Zhong you still there?" Nezha asks once him and Suo got back to the 40 meters to get in contact with Zhong
"Yes, did the person I sent find you guys?" His voice asks
"Actually we found him, he's dead.. but got the hook connected to the cage" Nezha explains
"Shit..." Zhong breathes out "ok I'm bringing you guys up now" Nezha and Suo turn and start swimming down and stopped at 46 meters to grab onto the chain due to Zhong bringing the cage up
"See, we're getting out of here" Suo says
"Ya" I say before smiling "I'm so glad"
"We're sorry for bringing you into this" Nezha apologizes
"Ya, if we knew then we wouldn't have asked you to come because of you know" Xun says
"Ya, I understand but I prefer living through something dangerous than leaving you guys doing it yourselves" I admit, I looked at the sea level meter on the cage "30...29...28...27-" all of a sudden the cage fell down a tiny bit as of something bent and me and Xun looked up to see the chain about to break and it was breaking a few chains down away from where Suo and Nez were holding onto
"ZHONG WAIT WAIT WAIT STOP THE CAGE!" Suo yells and he cage stopped moving
"the chain is about to break!!" Nezha says looking up as him and Suo are close to being at the surface a bit
"Ok, I'm going to slow the speed down a bit. We HAVE to get you guys out of there" Zhong says as the cage started moving slowly
"No no no no I don't trust it!" I say
"Neither do I" Xun mumbles
"It's either the cage goes fast and the chain breaks or we're bringing you all up slowly, I can't let you guys go down again!" Zhong's voice says, then the sound of metal bending was heard
"THE CHAI-" I was cut off. The chain had snapped in half again, the upper half where Suo and Nezha were holding onto brought them up above the surface and the bottom half which was hooked to the cage sunk down along with the cage did, due to how the chain snapped the cage was moving making it difficult for me to grab onto a bar. I heard the cage hit something causing me to be moved against some bars and it fell again but landed shortly after but problem is...the cage landed on its side and the gap we used to get Xun out of the cage to unblock the cage door had my leg through it and once the cage landed my leg went underneath the cage close to the cage door...I'm not getting out.
