Chapter 16
At first it was hard to see anything. The water was cold and it hurt his body. He
chose to focus on Bonnie to ignore the pain. He opened his eyes wide and
searched for her. He spotted her unconscious laying on the bottom of the sea.
Blood was oozing from her arm and curious fishes were swimming around her.
He reached her and grabbed her petite body. Going back at the surface was
very difficult. She wasn't helping and even though her weight wasn't much he
felt his muscles aching. His lungs were in fire. I can't give up, he thought. He
knew that if he did, they'd both die. He broke the surface of the ocean and
reached the sand. He layed Bonnie on her back.
Caroline thought about shooting them both. She was fascinated by the way he saved her. He risked
his life for her. She never saw a man doing that. True she didn't grow up with
any hero. She didn't hear the footsteps behind her.
Marcos : he grabbed her throat and pointed a gun on her head Hello, bitch.
Caroline : You're not going to kill me.
Marcos : You don't know me.
Caroline : That would be so cold.
Marcos : You hurt Bonnie !
Caroline : she giggled Impressive little slave. Two men wrapped around her finger. Too bad you're not her hero.
The words coming out of her mouth bit him. His hand pressed on her throat got
a little tighter. She gasped.
Marcos : You must be paying those men. You can't do that if you're dead. Let's go see them. What do you say ?
Caroline : Can't...breathe...
Marcos let go of her neck but he kept the weapon on her head. They walked
away.
Kai : Bonnie ?
She was very pale and not reacting. He moved strands of hair out of her face
and checked on her. She wasn't breathing.
Kai : No !
It wasn't possible that he did that for nothing. He opened her mouth and put his
lips on hers blowing air in her lungs. He massaged her heart as well. After a
few excruciating minutes, she spat water and opened her eyes.
Kai : Thank God !
Bonnie : You...saved me.
He smiled and hugged her tightly.
Bonnie : Oww my arm.
Kai : he pulled away Sorry.
Later
They took the ship back and left the island immediatly. Bonnie's wound was
taken care of and her arm bandaged.
Bonnie : What happened with Caroline ?
Kai : Nothing much.
Bonnie : Kai ?
Kai : It's her own private island. There is no prison so we just locked her in her house. She'll find a way out eventually.
Bonnie : I see. Well, she was very seductive.
Kai : I guess.
Bonnie : I thought you liked her.
Kai : Never.
A moment of silence passed.
Kai : Bonnie, I don't know what I would have done if you died.
Bonnie : she smiled I'm still here.
Kai : I'm glad.
Bonnie : Thank you for saving my life she pecked his lips
He closed his eyes enjoying the sensation of her mouth.
Bonnie : I need to rest, I'm so tired.
Kai : Go.
She walked away while he smiled.
Middle of the night
She couldn't sleep. She kept saying Caroline shooting her and herself falling in
the water. I have to learn how to swim, she thought. She swallowed with
difficulty. Her throat was dry and she needed to drink. She left her bed but she
felt really dizzy. She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. The sensation
didn't go away, it got worse on the contrary. Her legs gave in and she fainted.
