The two men ran at full speed trying to make it to the body of water before them, behind them the bombs dropped by the fast movers had just hit the ground. Within a quarter of a second, the flames and sheer force of the explosion were on the heels of Ethan an Coal.
"Jump! You dumb fuck!" Ethan shouted pulling Coal with him as he jumped off the dock and into the blue water below them. when they dove under with the force of the explosion still behind them the two men sunk to the bottom. Ethan cracked his head on a large rock, for a moment he was consumed with blackness only to stubbornly shake his head back and forth to prevent loosing consciousness. He looked around him in the dimly lit deep water not to find Coal anywhere in sight. Above the surface of water was bright dancing flame that cast an weird orange glow in the water.
"Ethan" a familiar voice spoke out in anger from behind him. Jerking himself around only to face the bloated, mostly decomposed Saul. Half the mans face was gone, bone was all that remained. Saul wrapped his bone like fingers around Ethan's throat and shook him.
"You killed me!!! I gave up my wife for you, and what do you do? leave me to die!!!!" Saul screamed in Ethan's face. Being underwater didn't effect the clarity of Saul's voice for some reason.
"Yeah, your right Saul. What i did was bad. Real,real bad. But you know me, I am a survivalist! I do what I need to to survive!" Ethan shouted with equal clarity as Saul.
"Even betrayal?" Saul asked screaming in Ethan's face still.
"No Saul! I didn't betray you. I did what I had to so that I could stay alive. You were the one who had to get close to that thing that bit you, your death was not my fault. You were doomed to begin with." Ethan shouted back.
"Bu-" Saul began to shout only to have Ethan cut him off.
"No buts about it you stupid fuck! All i did was shut the door on you....you were going to die regardless if I would have kept it open! Now get the fuck out of my head!" Ethan shouted wrenching off Saul's hands from his neck. Saul stared at him with somber yet surprised eyes. "Yeah, that's right pussnuts. You don't hold your sodding power over me anymore...So guess what I want to do now you prissy son of a bitch?" Ethan asked with a growl before throwing the hardest punch he had ever given at Saul sending him to the darker depths of the water. Saul was reaching upward in desperation as he sank.
Gasping loudly as he awoke, Ethan was above held by Coal who had pulled him out of the were making there slow drift to the boat nearly a quarter mile away, the explosions effect was seen everywhere, the nearby trees were ablaze, dead fish floated all around them. Theo spotted them and turned the boat towards them.
"Get off me or they will think your a poof." Ethan pushed off of Coal and waded by himself. He smiled knowing that the Ghost of Saul was buried beneath them.
