Keira and Orlando had a long morning on the beach before coming back in for lunch.

"Why don't I make lunch today and you take a rest," Orlando said.

"Okay, I'll see you in a few minutes. I want to go freshen up."

She went into the bathroom and was about to begin undressing before she saw Orlando's clothes littered all over the floor. Keira muttered something about men under her breath before picking them up to throw them out of the room. Suddenly, she heard something fall out of his pocket. There, lying on the floor, was a strange gold coin. It was unlike anything she'd ever seen before. Picking it up, she examined it for a few minutes.

"Why didn't he show this to me," Keira asked no one.

She shook her head and went in for that bath she wanted.


The front door opened and John walked in.

"What're you doing home," Orlando asked looking up from the ham sandwich he was making.

"I usually come to the house for lunch. What's for eating?"

"I was making sandwiches. As soon as Keira comes out we can start."

When Orlando began to walk away, John took a sandwich and began to nibble on it.

"Where did she head off to anyway?"

"She went to freshen up in the shower I think. We were at the beach all morning and...hey I have something I wanted to show you."

Intrigued slightly, John followed bringing the sandwich with him.


"I could've sworn I put it in our room."

"What did you say we were looking for," John asked picking up a sock.

"A gold coin. It's old and has a skull on it."

For some reason, that seemed vaguely familiar to John but he shrugged it off.

"Keira's been in the shower for an awfully long time."

"Sorry mate but it doesn't seem to be in here," John said before starting to put the clothes away.

Orlando left the room and went over to the bathroom. "Keira, are you okay in there," Orlando asked knocking on the door. She didn't answer and he began to get worried. "Keira," he shouted again before beginning to bang against the door to open it.

John came over and asked what the problem was.

"It's Keira, she's not answering and I'm starting to worry." Orlando hit the door again and it opened.


She felt as though she was trapped underwater sinking at a quickening pace every few seconds. The last thing she remembered was standing up on a high wall with someone. Her last few moments of consciousness were filled trying to move her arms to take a breath of air above the crushing abyss.


"John, she's not breathing." Orlando and John found Keira lying in the running water, still in her robe, under a full tub. As quick as lightning, John began to perform CPR on her. All Orlando could do was stand to the side and hope she could come out of it. Nothing seemed to be working.

"Come on love, don't quit on us now," he said doing his work.

Suddenly she began to cough.

"Keira," Orlando said pushing John out of the way and hugging her.

"What happened?"

"I don't know. I was feeling sort of dizzy and then I was falling. Now I wake up on the floor."

"Actually, you were sort of drowning in the bathtub before we took you out," John said.

She blinked before attempting to stand up.

"Oh no you don't. Allow Orli," John said moving out of the way.

Orlando rolled his eyes to Keira and helped her to a standing position. He put her arm around his shoulder and he brought her to his bedroom to recover.


John shook his head thinking about them before feeling a bit damp around the ankles. He saw that the water was still on and ran to turn it off. He stood up and went to the closet to get some towels. He came back and began to clean it up. Orlando came a few minutes later and helped him with a hairdryer.

"How is she?" John asked.

"I put her in bed with a sandwich and some soda. I suggested water but she was against it," he said with a shaky laugh.

It was near the garbage container that they both saw it. Reflecting in the sunlight was a gold glint. Orlando and John went over to see what could possibly be doing that.

"Is that what you wanted to show me," John asked.

"Yeah," Orlando said picking it up.

One question about your business, boy, or there's no use going: This girl... how far are you willing to go to save her? I'd die for her.

He dropped the coin and John picked it up.

"Who would you die for," John asked.

Orlando shook his head but was then confused. "What?"

"Well, you said you'd die for her. Die for who?"

"I never said that," Orlando said decisively.

"Listen, if I said you said something, then you said it okay," John said looking at him strangely. "Are you okay?"

The boy seemed to really think about it. "I-I don't know," Orlando finally said.

"I think that there are strange forces afoot here today." John looked down at his watch and clenched his teeth. "I have to get back. Think you can hold down the fort while I'm gone?"

"We'll be fine. Just go."

John gave him one last look before going back out through the front door and into his car for the rest of the afternoon.


Just some more memory fun with the weird coin. Hope you all liked it (Orli! ha). I would like to take this moment to thank everyone for the nice reviews. Hope you all keep reading. Later :-)
