Chapter 2: Where am I?

I thought about a lot of things . . . like where I was, what I'd got myself into. I started to feel light-headed, and then, sleepy. I think I had a dream, a dream of being alone. I wanted someoneanyone, beside me so I didn't have to feel alone anymore

I awoke out in the middle of sea, on some ruins. The water was a murky brown and the sky was gloomy and black. Some seagulls flew high in the sky; they seemed to be attacking a tower nearby. "Please, is anybody there? . . ." I shouted through the gloom, "Hey!"

My voice echoed far off into the ruins, but somehow I knew that no one would answer me back . . . I climbed off the rock and jumped into the brown water. It was bitter cold and after ten minutes of being in the water, I couldn't feel my fingers anymore.

But the strange thing is I heard someone yell out "HELP!" It didn't sound that far away either.

"Hello, anybody there?" I yelled back "Keep yelling so I can find you"

I finally found a girl my age swimming around in the cold water.

"Hey, let's get out of this water" I said

"Okay" she replied

The Lady had Short Black hair. Jeans and A Light Blue T-Shirt.

We climbed out of the cold water and onto the staircase.

"Thank you for finding me, something attacked my Town and I just ended up here." She said as she looked down." I don't think anybody survived. "How did you get here?"

"Exactly the same!" I replied "Do you know where we are?"

"I have no idea"

"I see… anyways what's your name?" I Asked

"Oh, My name is Alice" she said "And you"

"My name is Sandra" I replied "Well….we gotta find away out of here"

"But where there is no where to go"

"Look there's a tower over there" I said pointing to a big tower. "Maybe there's somebody there"

"Okay, let's go!"

There seemed to be some kind of bridge running from the broken staircase to the damaged structure. After thawing out for a minute or so, we got up and began walking along the makeshift path. We walked on, looking at the water as we went. There was a moldy statue down in the water, and several submerged doorways.

Alice saw suds come to the surface of the water and disappear. We felt a tremor under our feet. The bridge suddenly buckled from under us. We both fell into the water with such force that we went several feet under the water.

We skimmed the surface for a while, looking for another way back on the bridge. We saw more bubbles materialize from under the water. Something was lurking down there.

Like a dolphin, a jade green fish surfaced from the water and went back under again. It pulled us under the water Suddenly a White light surrounded Alice and then suddenly she had a White dress on and she had a white hood over her head with some kind of long stick with a weird design above it. Then I got surrounded by a black light and I then had a black dress on and I black hat on and I was holding a black stick with another weird design above it. I looked like a witch. I then took a closer look at Alice and I. Alice was a White Mage and I was a Black Mage.

I was amazed because I didn't think they existed anymore and here me and Alice was one of them.

The green fish had disappeared from my view, but I had a bad feeling that it would show up again. And my bad feelings are always right.

We looked quickly around the ruins. The water was extremely grimy and hard to see through, but I could sense that the monster was nearby. Out of the blue—or the brown—the green fish-like monster returned . . . with two more of his buddies.

I thought Magic could not be done underwater but I was wrong I cast fire on the green fish. Then unexpectedly another fish swam right at me with its razor-like fins and scraped my side. Alice then cured my wound then I was fine. I kicked my legs hard and took my revenge out on them I then cast fire on the fish and strange orbs of light emitted from the dying monster.

Without warning, a huge underwater monster swam out from behind one of the underwater columns. It had an enormous rib cage protruding out of its body and a mouth that could suck up one thousand fish in a split second . . . It speed through the water—like it was air—and chomped into the monster that I was going to finish off with my magic. Blood spewed through the water turning it from brown . . . to red. It saw Alice and me and gave chase

"Whoa!" I shouted, my voice muffled by the water. We took off and swam as fast as we could to the surface. I hastily looked around above the water for somewhere to run. I saw an underwater opening into the bottom of the temple structure. I tapped Alice's Shoulder and pointed to the hole. We took a deep breath and dove back underwater, with the monster not far behind..

We swam as fast as our tired legs could kick, attempting to get into the dark tunnel. Like a vacuum, the aquatic creature begun to suck me into its disgusting body. I swam harder, trying to get away from its mouth.

The current had a hold of us. We were struggling just to keep from barreling into the vortex between its lips. My legs were aching from fatigue and pain, but somehow, I was ahead of its mouth. I could tell Alice was a very good swimmer because she was Ahead of me. Then I felt somebody grab my hand. I turned to look and it was some guy again he looked my age. Suddenly, a huge gust came from the monster's mouth; Me and the Guy was thrown against a wall inside the cavern. The ceiling collapsed, walling out the gigantic fish, and walling us in for good.
