I gasped for air, choking and spiting out water.
But wait… I thought to myself, water? I opened my dark eyes,
And gazed around me. For anyone who hasn't guessed by now, I was in the water. But not a lake or a pool, a vast ocean with large waves throwing themselves at me.
Wondering how I was staying up, I found myself staring at a large piece of seemingly rotting wood. My senses were slowly coming back to me, and I realized that a heavy fabric was clinging to me, a long gown of a dark brown, almost black, complete with a tightly bound corset. What the hell???
Still, even in my… as you would say… shipwrecked state, I was rather excited about the fabulous dress, if I do say so myself…
My vain thoughts were rudely interrupted as all of a sudden, the wood, definitely rotten, snapped in half. I let out a strangled, "AHHHHHHH!" as I was tossed into the violent currents of whatever sea I was in.
I clamped my mouth shut tightly, plugging my nose as well. The weight of my dress yanked me down, into unknown depths of darkness, I couldn't see, I couldn't breath, and I was positive I was going to die.
My head started to pound, I felt the pressure close in on me, and I was pulled deeper under. I opened my mouth out of desperation, letting the water fill me, I began to gag, just giving up. I didn't know where I was, what I was doing, or what I was wearing, all I knew was the pain that was consuming me.
I welcomed the darkness. To end the pain.
I woke up. The first thing I tried to do of course was talk, but instead of words, water poured out of my mouth. I coughed, and looked around me. I was on a boat… I guess. A teenage boy covered me in a thick wool blanket, he looks like a chick…
I thought, then realized… he looked exactly like Anthony.
"We almost lost you! If it weren't for Mr. Todd, you would have been lost in the ocean forever!" Mr. Todd? But… it couldn't be!
He must have seen my confused expression, and gestured to a man, who seemed to be hiding in the shadows of the ship.
The man stepped out of the shade, and even in the twilight, I could see the prominent white streak running through his otherwise jet black hair.
Like it? I really like how this chapter turned out, but I do think the first part was a little rushed.
Just go ahead… push that review button… don't be shy…
