Chapter 9: Part 2
The water was deep and dark. Vaughn breaststroked through the chilled salt water. His eyes were wide open. He was parallel to the shoreline. Target: Chelsea. Where: East ward, by the rocks.
…
A smile crept upon Chelsea's lips.
…
A black blur were the rocks. Vaughn slammed into them and rebounded off them with full force.
…
Chelsea stared at her father. His fuzzy eyebrows. His five o'clock shadow. His red bandana hanging out of his back pocket. She took a step.
…
He could see a blurred out line of some thing floating in the water. He swam faster towards it.
…
She took another.
…
IT was seaweed. Turning his head right and left a huge wave knocked him backward and pushed him back against the rocks. He flipped and flopped. His arms going limp, he closed his eyes for the impact.
…
She took another. One more.
…
Suddenly the crashed stopped. He was hugging the rocks. Opening his eyes, Vaughn was above the water. Taking three quick breaths, he took one last one and dove back under.
…
Daddy took one towards her. And held out a hand.
…
There was another blur it wasn't seaweed. Vaughn was sure about that. There was orange billowing off of it. He kicked as hard as possible. The current was against him.
…
Chelsea took a step and took Daddy's welcoming hand. I'm coming Mommy.
…
Chelsea's brown hair was flowing behind her like a goddess. She was standing up straight in the middle of the ocean. Her hand was clasped around something. Like she was holding someone's hand. Vaughn swam faster.
…
"Hi Daddy. I missed you. What took you so long?"
…
Vaughn got to her. She was speaking, though no words came out. There was a soft smile on her face. Her eyes were wide open, but they were distant and the color had changed to a deep grey.
…
"Oh, you know Uncle Joe said that the load could use another few pounds so we stayed out longer than usual."
…
Vaughn could feel the water beginning to swell around Chelsea. If he didn't grab her now she would be dead. Vaughn grabbed her wrist.
…
There was a ripping pain. Chelsea screamed.
…
Chelsea screamed just as Vaughn began to pull her up to the surface. He pulled her closer to him. He clutched her waist and hugged her tightly against his chest ready for the impact of the next wave.
…
Blood poured out of her mouth like a waterfall. Daddy let go. He left her alone. Alone. Alone. alone. alone. lone. A. ALONE. alone. Alone. ALONE. ALONE! Chelsea screamed in pain.
…
Chelsea screamed in pain as Vaughn and her were sent into the rocks. The water tumbled them and did it's worst. Vaughn held on to Chelsea.
…
Daddy began to leave Chelsea. His soft outline began to form into a small boy. His hair messy and all over the place. He could be no older than ten.
…
Tears began to pour out of Chelsea's eyes as Vaughn swam with her to the surface of the water.
…
His eyes were the most beautiful purple that ever touched this earth. His hair was the color of a silver lining. His shirt was too big and the sleeves covered his hands. His pants were baggy and covered his feet. He had a black eye.
…
The two of them hit the surface and Vaughn sucked in air. Glancing around a wave collapsed around them, covering and getting caught in Vaughn's windpipe.
…
It was Vinny.
I know its a little choppy but that's the point. The pov is going between Vaughn and Chelsea. Sorry if confusing. Theres going to be more. Review. Just guess who Vinny is. Come on Guess.
