You could only see the Herodi's face in the dark dark sky.
He was smiling. Smiling this smile that remined me of the Grinch.
An evil smile.
I saw the wave come, I suppose I should of known better. I tried to back away and Reese tried to help me.
The huge wave took me but a hand grabbed mine. I could tell it wasn't a woman's hand, and at first I thought that it was Reese. But then after a moment I knew, that it was Jacob.
"Sorry I'm late!!" He yelled over everything
"Just don't let go Jacob!" I yelled back franticly, "He's got me."
"Not for long!" Jacob yelled, "I won't let you go."
It seemed like hours as we hung on to each other during the storm.
It was so useless after the rain turned to hail. The hail pounded on us and I felt the grip of our hands lossen.
We didn't say anything, we just looked at each other.
And looked.
And looked.
Then I was swepted away.
His hand slipped from mine dispite all efforts.
The last thing I remember before I blacked out was Jacob screaming, "No!" and looking in his eyes.
At first when I woke up all I could see was dark blue swirls surrounding me. Going around and around.
It might of partly been my dizzy hang-over, but I don't think that that was all.
After I rubbed my eyes to see clearly I stood up.
I explored my small surrounds to find that I was in some sorta bubble. When I looked up I saw the surface of the ocean and the dark brown of the dock and the blackness of the sky.
I also saw Jacob's blurry face through the water. It might have been Reese's too.
Then suddenly a voice boomed, "Hello Christy. I'm glad you've awakened."
I turned around to see the Herodi's face imprint on the side of the bubble.
"What do you want?!" I demanded loudly.
"Christy Christy." The Herodi said, "No need to yell, the hurricane is up there, not down here."
"What do you want?" I repeated.
"Don't worry about that Christy, you will know that in due time." The Herodi said, "Right now I just need you hear as my...guest."
"Or victom." I suggested, "Prisoner, hostage, "
"I see your point." the Herodi said, "Here, I'll let you see what is going on above until your use is reviled."
The Herodi's face disappeared and the rain showed. Through the rain I saw Jacob's face yelling to Reese.
"Jacob!" I yelled, "I'm here."
"It's no use." The Herodi boomed, "he can't hear you."
This was my breaking point, "How about I give you a use, I give you a use right up your-"
"Now Christy," The Herodi soothed in a puzzlingly comforting voice, "Don't do something you will regret."
I shut up and watched and listened.
"Where is she?!" I heard Jaocb yell to Reese over the storm.
"I don't know I don't see her!" Reese observed.
"What should do?!" Jessica said, frightened.
"I don't know," Jacob said, trying to think, "I don't know." After a moment more of the larging hail Jacob said to Reese, "Reese, I want you to go back and get some help with Jessica."
"You're coming too!" Reese said, trying to grab Jacob's arm, "I'm not leaving you behide."
"No!" Jacob said over the storm, "I need to stay here. I just need to. Now go. GO!"
Reese obeyed and went with Jessica.
Jacob just looked down onto the ocean where I fell, speechless. I guessed that no words could say how mad he was at me for not listening to him and going to help Reese and Jessica.
But then he surprised me by saying, "Why did I let her go without me?"
I just watched.
I didn't think that anyone would come after about a half hour.
I mean I hadn't been there long or anything, and I had no family there. And plus there was nothing they could do for me in the storm.
Then I saw Sam, TC, Luis, and Miguel all there besides Jacob. I was shocked that they had come for me.
But never the less all there efforts failed.
Then, after about 29 mintutes the Herodi was risen from the sea.
He bellowed to the Harmony citizens, "I have one. One is better than none. This is only the beginning."
Then the seas were calmed and the skies were back to blue, as if nothing had happened.
Nothing was said for a few mintutes. Nothing was herad but the beat of their own hearts.
Sam Bennett was kicked into Police Cheif mode and went with Luis get a boat.
But I knew better, I knew that nothing mortal was going to get me out of this.
What they needed to do was find some imortal ones.
That could take time. And I couldn't just sit there and do nothing, but I didn't know what else to do.
He was smiling. Smiling this smile that remined me of the Grinch.
