So this one is short because I was going to add more...but then I thought it would just be more dramatic if I left it like this c: HEHE!
This isn't real. This isn't real! I need to focus. I need Calm myself down. It isn't real. I keep repeating it to myself, but I can't calm down. It just feels real! The water around stalks me, circling around my body, waiting. The silent hunter is waiting for the opportune moment, when I am weak. I feel a slight strain in my lungs, I need to breath soon. I watch as the little air bubbles squeeze out of my nose, rising to the top. How envious I am of those bubbles. I stare above me, I can see the water wiggling, making calm little waves on the surface. I want to get up there, I want to follow my air bubbles to the top, where the air is free.
But under the dark water, air is slowly stripped from my body. I turn my head and watch the water move, a flowing stream humming in my ear and lightly pulsing against my body. I know it's been only a couple minutes but it feels like hours.
My lungs tighten painfully, pushing up against my ribs. I feel the pressure pounding against my chest, it slips up to my throat and burns. A new wave of fear washes over me. I am not dying, its not real. Donnie said this was in my head, its not real. It can't be real. I am okay, I will snap out of it. I hope.
My body is still, hovering in the water. I hope I wake up soon. I just...need...to focus. Focus. A new wave of fear hits me.
This isn't real. This isn't real. This is not real.
No. A gut feeling overwhelms my sense.
My lungs give out, I am out of air. It is real.
I am going to die. Survive. I need to survive. Swim. Air!
I feel my body finally move, a new panic sweeping over my system. I push out with my legs and arms, propelling towards the top. The water that was stalking me, choose this time to attack. It viciously grabs onto my arms. The pressure of the waves are pushing me back towards the depths. I kick out and my body is thrashing against it. The water is relentless. I fight in desperation but the water wraps around me body like a snake, holding me in place.
I am absorbed in water, I can't move. It locks my arms close to my body and my legs are being held down. I can't move. I can't move, I can't breathe! Air! I need air. My lungs burst with pressure and a painful hum rips through my body. The water rushes into me, through my nose and mouth. It digs down into my stomach. It is knocking on the door to my lungs.
NO! I need to scream! I try to scream but I hear nothing, I have nothing. I am all out of air. I just want to scream, I want to fight! I want to cry.
Air. Breathe! I need air!
I attempt to pull away from the water hugging my body but it tightens it's hold on me. My heart is pounding in my ears, it's overwhelming the mad rush of water. The water is reaching my brain, I feel the lack of oxygen in my body. My brain screams out to move, to survive. I can't! I can't. I can't survive. I can't move. I can't breathe. My lungs open and make a last desperate attempt to soak in oxygen, but the water takes the advantage and pounces. My entire body is pulsing with pressure and pain. I am going to die. No hope. I am dying, No air.
Air. please. Help! I call out for my brothers but the water chokes down all the noise.
I hear the pounding of my heart slow, the lack of blood pumping finally taking it's toll.
I feel a new darkness prick the corner of my eyes. I stare longingly at the surface as I open my mouth to scream. My desire to scream is never met, the dark closes in around me. This is how I die. I wish I could say the last thing on my mind are my brothers, my father. I wish I could tell them I love them before I go. But the last thing in my mind is my animal instinct to survive.
The last thing on my mind, Air.
I see my watery grave, then the world goes dark. Air.
