I slowly awakened from my sleep, opening my eyes and looking around.
I was lying in soft, white sand.
I looked above me, where fish were swimming around.
But there was no water.
They were floating?
And there was glass.
It was like a fish tank.
Then I noticed something that completely changed my view on the situation.
There was a glass top too.
I couldn't move very much, like I was stuck to the ground.
Gradually, I felt water go underneath me.
It started to get higher.
My hair started to float.
Once it was about to cover my face, I was able to stand up.
Why was this happening?
You're not supposed to be almost drowning when you're dead!
You're supposed to be at peace!
By the end of the hour, the water had raised about half a foot.
How long would it be until it would be filled to the top?
"Why is this happening to me?" I asked myself.
Then it all became clear.
I wasn't completely dead yet.
If they could save me, then I would be able to live again.
They needed to kill Rufus.
The tank was almost full.
I didn't have much longer; the water was starting to rise faster.
I had an idea, but I didn't know if it would work.
"Here goes nothing," I muttered to myself.
"HURRY! TIME IS RUNNING OUT!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, hoping it would be able to reach the real world.
I heard a response that made my heart beat fast.
"What do you mean?" Fabian asked.
He didn't know.
Somehow, I could tell that he was with Rufus.
"YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO KILL HIM IN A MATTER OF TIME! YOU ONLY HAVE A FEW MINUTES BEFORE I CAN NEVER RETURN!" I yelled.
The water was only a few inches from the top now.
I stayed as close to the top as I could.
I took deep breaths.
Soon, the water was only an inch away.
I took a big breath in and went underwater.
I started to panic.
It was going to be too late if they didn't hurry.
Then, all of the water disappeared.
I was in a dark room.
Rufus appeared out of nowhere.
We had to fight for our lives.
"So this is how it is," Rufus said to me.
This was going to be ugly.
A knife landed in between us on the floor.
I lunged for it.
You didn't see that coming! Or did you? Eh, it was still an awesome chapter. Sorry I haven't updated in a while, when I was writing this chapter, my dad came in and made me show it to him so I've been super upset about that. Maybe embarrassed? IDK. But he's not here right now so I decided to post it.
