Chapter 7
The buggy pulled into Costa Del Sol. Jay had already applied sunscreen. the last time she forgot, the sunburn was so bad she thought she had caught some horrid disease! Zax looked down at the beach. "Hey, If you guys dont mind, while your getting the boat trip booked, im gonna go down to the beach." Zax said. Emria shrugged. Zax clambered out and headed down for the beach.
The Buggy pulled up to the boat check in. It didnt take long for the trip to be set up. the buggy was brought aboard the ship. It would be about an hour before launch, So jay switched into the swimming suit she'd borught along, and headed for the could see Zax licking away at soem ice cream, in blue swimming trunks, with sunglasses on. He gave a simple nod when she waved.
She slowly entered the water, and picked up speed when she realised it was actually rather , Jay was swimming happily through the water. For a time, all her worries were erased. the warm water was soothing. after she was a little ways out, she stopped, and just rested like a star ontop of the water. She just lay there, soaking up the rays. It was then, that she felt a hand grasping her leg!
She screamed, and was suddenly pulled under! She thrashed frantically, Kicking, and water was starting to flood into her mouth. She managed to kick free of the watery hands grip, and began swimming frantically for shore. The beach was now in an uproar. why does this ALWAYS happen to me!? jay screamed in her mind.
"Blind luck" Sephiroth replied. Jay scowled and kept swimming. As she swam, she dared look over her shoulder. She saw three shark fins on one body. As the body lifted slightly, she saw it had the body of a shark, and arms and legs with webbing between the appendages. The creature leapt forwards, and dragged her under! This time, the water flooded down her throaght. She tried to cough, when claws raked across her back!
She tried to scream, but blood came out her mouth. She spun around in the water, brakeing free of the creature, and smashed her foot into its gut, when it doubled over, she brought her fist jabbing up into its neck area. She could here it snarling. As she bega swimming backwards, away from the creature, she realied her feet were within running distance of the sand! She turned tail and ran like the devil was chasing her.
She scrambled onto the beach. Zax was already up, holding a folded umbrella like a sword. Jay couldnt help but giggle. but her gigling was cut short, when the shark creature pounced out of the water, And pinned her down. "JAY!" She heard sare cry out. She was paralysed. Zax charged forwards, and smacked the Creature across the face with his umbrella. It snarled at him, And leapt for him! Jay coughed, and blood came out of her mouth.
Sare ran up and checked her wounds. The gashes allong her back were serious, and could be fatal if they werent treated. Sare turned to the Creatures as it body slammed Zax into the water. It leapt after him, and got sent hurling over him by the umbrella. However, the umbrella snapped from the weight. Sare looked into Jays eyes. they were growing all over the beach were running and screaming now.
"I'm comming back for you Jay." Sare looked to the shark creature, as Zax ran away from it up the beach. It caught the scent of Jays blood, and began running towards her on all fours! Sare grabbed his mythril saber off his back, And charged the beast. It swiped its clawed hand for his head. He ducked and whacked the bladed edge across its chest. the creature roared and began scrambling for the water.
But its movement would allow it to scoop up jay as it entered the water! "NO!" Sare screamed. He chased the creature, running at speeds he didnt know he had. the creature was about to grab Jay, When Sare's saber stabbed through its back, and out its chest. the creature fell intook a deep lungfull of air. he dropped his saber and immediatly rushed to jays side. Zax ran up. "Is she OK?" He asked.
"we need to get her to a hospital now!" Sare half shouted. Jay was barely breathing. Jay groaned slightly as they rushed her to the hospital.
