Everything's happening so fast, the water, Eric, Jack, Rose, everything racing through my mind at once, and I manage to put my arms out in time before my body slams against the gate. I gasp as the cold brass digs into my hands, bringing Sharp pains. I cry out and struggle against the inferno of the violent angry water, kicking my legs through it and against the metal to keep afloat. Just then I feel other sharp pains, almost a burning despite the water we're submerged in. The metal, it's grazing my legs. Just then I feel another huge powerful current push me further and further into the metal, crushing my bones, as if the water's angry, as if it wants me to die...
I can't think like that, I can't I have to get through this, we all do. I try to tell myself, but it's so impossible, the current pushing me further, I feel it swirling widely beneath my waist, snaking and twisting around my legs. Everything's going wrong! None of this was meant to happen! We were all so happy, daddy me, Tommy, Fabrizio, Ja-
Jack and Rose! I don't know where they are! I can't see them. Waves of panic rise through my body, getting stronger by the second. I hear my heart hammer loudly, I have to find them! I have to have them with me, to know they're okay. I try to lift my head up more to look up but the water rushes around me, all I can see are the foam of the water, swirling, coming closer, nearer, as if it's going to swallow me. Panic rushes through me again, taking over all my senses, everything, I can't take this anymore, I can't do this! I-
A cool hand suddenly takes mine and then holds onto my arm firmly, bringing me up from the freezing water slightly, so I can see through the flickering light. Before I can think who it is I feel heavy material brush against my fingers through the water, material...
Rose! Its roses' coat, she's here! The panic within me falls and I quickly turn my head to see a flash of red, deeper now because of the water, and then she turns her head, her green eyes meeting mine. I can see her porcelain skin through the flickering light in the otherwise darkness.
Relief fills me as I see her; she's here, its okay. Our eyes meet for a second, we don't say anything, what would we say. Her beautiful eyes are filled with worry, she looks so scared, but determined, an unusual combination. The smiles they usually have, glinting like the sun, are hidden now, and in their place worry and fear overshadowed them.
Only for that second our eyes meet, and then she brings her eyes back onto my arm, and she struggles to pull me higher from the water, keeping me from going under. I feel her pulling and tugging me against the flow of the water, but she doesn't hurt me. I gasp as the water suddenly picks up in pace, and Roses' arms struggle even more to keep me up. I try to kick my legs under the surface but they're powerless against the force of the water. The waves are rushing through us, through the gate, streaming ahead, their sound thundering down the corridor. Her hand tugs at me more, trying to pull me through it. I suddenly panic, my breathing quickens, what if we can't do it, it's too powerful, we can't make –
My body powers through the water, and I feel roses' strong tugs on my arm. I feel it rush against my legs until I'm close enough to Rose and she pulls me in front of her, so I'm against the gate, with her guarding behind.
I'm safe. We're safe. I close my eyes and sigh relief. I know that we're not completely safe yet, but just for a moment it feels that way. I blurrily open my eyes again, feeling exhausted suddenly; so many things have happened so suddenly, It's still hard to take it all in. Not having to struggle now I suddenly feel the bitter cold of the water, its freezing temperature going into to every part of my body. I start to shake, trying to catch my breath but it comes out all wrong, in short gasps. I feel a tight squeeze on my hand just then, trying to reassure me. I can feel her shaking behind me too, her breathing just like mine.
We'll be okay now, focus, you're gonna be alright, rose and-
Jack! Where was Jack! He's not with us. He's not-
I scream as a force hits the gate, causing it to shake, a rattling sound vibrating from its bars. What was that!
"Jack!" rose suddenly shouts. I quickly turn my head, to see jack clinging onto the bars, complelty drenched, just as we are. Jack, it's him! He's here! A feel relief radiate through me again. That's it, we're all together now, it has to be okay now...I hope it will be.
Just seconds later his arms reach out through the rushing water and firmly grab mine and roses' arm, trying desperately to tug us forward against the current. Its strength seemed to grow ever second, as it got more and more difficult to power though.
I close my eyes briefly, exhausted by the struggle, and before I can open them I feel one arm let go of me, thick material brushing against my skin, and then suddenly I feel the weight of two strong arms wrapping around me, and water run against my legs as my waist is lifted from the water, and then I'm released down again, the arms still wrapped around me.
I didn't even have to open my eyes to know they belonged to Jack. When I opened them again I saw I was a few feet away from where I was, the flow of the water still intense but I was safe in Jack's grip. Rose was still holding onto the brass gate, her eyes locked into Jack's.
"Move rose!" He shouted over the thundering water and with one hand firmly holding onto me around my waist he outstretched his other hand, encouraging her to come forward. She still looked scared, but more determined as she pushed off from the gate. Her hand out stretched to reach his but her fingers couldn't reach and she hurriedly slammed her hands against the wall to the side of us, her legs kicking under the surface, needing to stay above the surface. I gasp, afraid, terrified, she has to reach us! Without even thinking I lean forward as much as I can and out stretch a hand too trying to reach her, save her. Jack moves further forward to her, desperately needing to reach her. We both do, our arms outstretched, trying to grab her hand, arm, anything through the swirling, white water that's captured her...
I freeze. My eyes don't believe it's true but it is. It's impossible, I can't believe it...
My dream. The dream I had, where the huge wave suddenly hit the rollercoaster and then we were back here, me in Jack, in a flooding corridor, trying to save her! This was going to happen! The livid swirling water, flodding, rushing down stairs, the look of terrified panic in her eyes, it was the same! The same as it is now!
I didn't finish, the dream didn't finish! I was shook awake, what does that mean! Will we get through this, what's going to happen?
I can't see what's really in front of me anymore, all I can focus on is the dream,; I can see it in front of me now. The screams, the water, everything. Oh god will we get through this, we have to, oh god please help, something happen!
"Move!" I jump and suddenly the scene that was in front of my eyes disappears and I see what's really happening again. My breathings quick and I hear my heart pound. After a few seconds I calm my breathing. It's gonna be okay, It happened, in my dream, and it's happening now, but I didn't know the ending, so we can get through this, we can make it, we have to.
Just then I gasp as rose pushes off from the wall again and quickly grasps Jacks fingers. She let's go for just a second and then grabs the whole of his hand. He grips hers firmly and he pulled her forward through the water, until her bodies within reach and her grabs the rest of her arms and pulls her through, until she's in his arms next to me. He pulled her through! One minute she was against the gate terrified and now she's here.
"Come on Rose, Cora, move!" Jack shouts over the sound of the thrashing water again and helps push us forward, and into the gap on the right, and then up the small flight of steps, helping pushing us all through the block of the water. We did it, we're climbing the steps now. I sigh again and I feel Roses' hand grab mine again. It all happened so fast I can hardly take it in, but we're here now, we can make it, we can do this! If we can make it though that then we can survive this, I know it, me Jack and Rose, we have to, we will. I think this just as we're about to reach the gate, ready to open it...
