Chapter 14
Mai began to scream and cry. She pulled at her hair and clawed at herself. The group tried restrain her. They got her outside of that hell hole where she seemed to calm down. She collapsed onto her knees and held herself and gasped for air.
"Mai…." Masako asked worriedly.
"Is she going to be alright?" Monk asked sounding panicky. Ayako had her arm around Mai was telling her to breath deeply.
"She's going to need help. She seems to be calming down now…" Ayako said.
Naru had been hovering. He didn't know what to do. He had been afraid of this happening, but he was also hoping that maybe she could shed some light on what they were missing. Mai looked up at him now. Her face slowly changed to a look of despair. She slowly got up.
"Gene…. Peter…" she whispered. "No no not Gene! Gene, I'm coming!" She began running.
"Mai!" Naru and the others called out to her. They ran after her. They couldn't follow with the horses because she was running throw the brush.
Mai's thought were jumbled. She had one intent and that was to get Gene. She had to save him. She had to find him. Things began to come back. She knew where to look. She had known all along.
The group lost sight of her and stopped. "Where is she going?" Monk said breathlessly.
"She must be looking for Gene, but where?" Ayako said.
"We have to get to her now! I know where she's going!" Yasuhara began to run again. "Get the horse and meet me at the bridge!" he called back to them.
They ran back to the horses and galloped full force to the bridge that crossed the lake. Gene's body had to be in the lake.
They rode to the path that went up to the bridge. Naru jumped off his horse and ran up the path right after Yasuhara. Sure enough Mai was where he had said.
She stood on the railing looking down into the water. Like in Naru's dream she held onto the metal support beam. She called out to Gene. "I'm coming! Don't worry, I'll get you out!"
"Mai, Gene is dead! You can't save him!" Naru yelled at her.
"No don't say that!" She cried and then she jumped.
"Mai!" Naru screamed along with everyone else. He went to jump after her, but Yasuhara stopped him.
"Don't be stupid! We can go in down there!" he pointed to the shore. The men ran down to the banks and into the water.
Mai
Mai jumped into the water. It was so dark and cold. She felt her body submerge. She bobbed back to the surface before going back down. She swam down and opened her eyes. Everything was black. The murky water prevented any visuals, but Mai didn't need her sight to know where to go.
She went back to the surface for air and dove back down. She made her way to the bottom. She reached out her hands. She could see it now. The car. Its rusted body sat there and inside was Gene's body. 'I'm coming Gene! I'm coming to get you! Hold on a little longer!' she swam closer.
She pulled on the door. It didn't budge. She pulled harder and harder. The door was locked or rusted shut and she didn't have to the strength to open it. She pounded on the windows with all her force. She picked up a rock and banged it against the glass. She made a hole. She used her fingers to make it bigger. She didn't notice that her hands were a mess now. She reached her arm in scraping it on the glass and tried to pull the lock.
She broke the window and swam in. To Mai Gene's body looked as it did when he was still alive. She struggled to pull him from the back seat. She remembered her knife and cute the seat belt. She then cut a hole in the roof of the convertible. She paid no attention to the other body in the car. It was Katsumi's and he wasn't going to let her slip away from him again.
He reached and grabbed her leg and pulled her down. She struggled against him. He smiled at her maliciously. She was running out of air. She broke free and swam up, but his arms grabbed her and pulled her back. They were above the car. She couldn't escape from him. Everything went black.
Naru
He and the other men went into the water. He swam to her as she resurface and then dove back down. He tried to follow her, but the water was so murky that he couldn't see her.
Naru resurfaced for air. "Did you see her?" he called to the others.
"No, she has to be around here!" Lin called back.
Naru dove back down and made his way to the bottom. He used his flashlight and looked around. He saw the car. He gasped. Mai had crawled in and was making a hole in the roof. She was trying to pull Gene's decomposed body out.
He saw the other decomposed body come to life and grab her. He saw her break free and was captured again. He swam to her defense. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, but he knew it was real.
Mai had quit struggling. Katsumi suddenly let go of her as Gene appeared and gabbed a hold of him and pulled him back down to the car. Gene was stronger this time and forced Katsumi back down into the car where many arms and hands appeared to claim Katsumi.
Gene pushed Mai's body to Naru and smiled. He pushed his brother forward before returning to the car.
Naru broke the surface and gasped for air. He held Mai up. The others swam to him. Together they made their way to the shore.
He laid Mai down and began to give Mai CPR. He breathed into her mouth twice and did chest compressions and repeated. "Come on Mai! Don't you dare give up. You can't leave me now." He breathed into her again. "Remember you said I could take you out on a date when we got back." Naru's voice cracked. Lin pushed him out of the way and took over.
"Come on Mai. Breathe." Masako cried. Yasuhara had his arms wrapped around her.
"Please just wake up!" Monk sobbed.
John was saying prayers and Ayako was checking for Mai's pulse. Mai had been unresponsive for 15 minutes. Ayako shook her head and Lin stopped. "It too late."
"No it's not." Naru grabbed Mai's body by shoulders and shook her. "Please don't do this too me. I can't loose you!" he cried to her.
Mai began to cough up the water and breathe. The color began to return to her. Her eyes fluttered and she moaned and whimpered.
They took her back to the house and put her to bed.
