Rapunzel
Ch. 7 Underwater
Riku's POV
"I kinda eavesdropped... sorry."
"It's okay. You would've known soon. But now that I think about it, you'd only know for like a few minutes because by then you'd be dead," Kumi said calmly.
"How can you be so calm about this?" He shouted.
"I'm not calm."
"You sure act like you are."
"Yeah. I ACT like I am."
Everyone was silent for a while.
"No, we can still do something. Let's look for the one who cursed this land."
"She is dead."
"Any descendants?"
"None that we know of."
"Ugh."
I looked out at the lake.
"Wait... You said something about someone chosen to come and take the Rapunzel girl. Where's my person?"
She smiled. "Follow me," She instructed. She put on her goggles and dove into the lake.
"Ah! Kumi!"
"Sh-she's crazy!" Len screamed.
She popped her head out. "If you dare, Rapunzel."
"Okay!" I dove into the lake with her.
"You crazy women need supervision!" Ren dove into the lake too.
We started following Kumi. It took a lot of coming back up for air for me and Ren but Kumi seemed used to it.
"Where exactly are we going?"
"Actually we're already here." I asked after coming back up for air.
"Huh? There's nothing out here," Ren said.
"Yeah. Out here. We gotta go underwater."
"Oh, seriously?"
"Yup."
We breathed in a lot of air and swam to the bottom.
I looked around. There was nothing there. No fishes. A few plants and rocks maybe. But other than that, there were no living things down there except us.
Then, I felt someone push me. It made me open my mouth. I lost a lot of air. I looked at Kumi who was pulling Ren down to the very bottom.
Before I knew it, I ran out of air.
