Kasy
We have reached our boundary line and crossing it I feel a shiver go all over my body. Its a tingly sensation I can’t describe but it feels weird and wrong.
There is a shimmer of mist or frost, it feels cold and that’s completely impossible! I put my hand up to it as we go through it on the boat. It chills me to my bones and I’m afraid with no idea why. It feels Important to me. That it holds some sort of significance, that it's not just a vertical layer of freezing mist!
“I think we should head back Jonah something feels odd" I feel my voice shake with fear.
“Nah its fine Kasy your worrying over nothing” he says this but I can hear the trepidation in his voice. I can feel the unease coming off him. He’s looking around alot I notice and runs his hand through his hair.
It’s a nervous habit he has. We’ve been dive partners for a long time and I have always been able to read people easily.
“Here we are look at the reaf over here kasy"
He’s pointing over the side and moves the boat into position. So I can have a look and dive down off the back of the boat.
So I put my goggles on over my head and move over to the back of the boat, dip my head in the water trying to see the coral he’s on about. It’s just to my left and looks pretty dead.
My nerves calm...I didn’t even realise I was nervous till then. There’s no alternative motive of Jonah getting me out here. He was just looking for coral, feeling a complete stupid i***t for thinking Jonah was doing anything wrong! How many years have I known him. He’s like shaggy of scooby doo for goodness sake Kasy. You need to get a life girl.
I dip half my body into the water, my legs secure myself to the boat still. The coral is in really bad shape. I stretch as far as I can and I’m able to touch the very top piece on the side. Then the colours swirl and come alive from my hand all the way down the coral plant. This is the usual point I get freaked out and run.
But I stay watching and I can feel the life around me, usually it’s like a pulse. A beating heart of all things and the ocean swirling around them all. This time the fish seemed to be coming towards me! The ocean felt unsettled and like it was waves crashing against rocks, even though it seemed just as tranquil as ever. Now I’m freaked!
I pull myself up onto the boat again about to tell Jonah that I’ve had a go at saving it. I take my goggles of shake my hair out, only its not jonah anymore that i see.
But 4 massive men one is passing Jonah a stack of cash and patting him on the back.
“Good work Jonah here’s the million u were promised. We’ll take lil miss of your hands now” he then stares at me. When I look in his eyes I see death and I’m paralysed in fear.
He’s not human I have no idea how I know this, but his eyes are sunken into his sockets. They are red rimmed and his pupils are so dark red, if he wasn’t in the sun they would be black. His skin is transparent and pale, even his veins are showing. All of them are massive MBA player massive.
At this point I have been so distracted I don’t notice a massive boat pulling up to thle side of us and I’m grabbed by the first man around my shoulders! He shoves my head over his shoulder, he smells foul.
A bunch of goons like a bad movie! These lot!
While the second goon grabs my legs. I’m wrestling with them trying to move. The fight or flight has finally kicked in, only it was too late.
“How could you do this jonah! Why do you want me!”
I’m screaming at the top of my lungs at them while trying to get away from their death grip. As they maneuver me from over goon ones shoulder to between them. I’m swinging with my limbs securely trapped.
It looks like their about to give me the bumps at a birthday party!
Goon one and two smile at me. With wicked sharp teeth that make me recoil in disgust.
“Oh we’re going to have some fun with you sweetheart before the mistress arrives to take you.”
He gives me a sleazy grin, even if he wasn’t trying to kidnap me I’d totally hate him for being a slim ball.
They hoist me up and a walk way plank gets dropped from the massive boat onto the front of our much much smaller one. Goon one and two try to carry me along the walkway. I’m trying and failing to toss and turn to fall into the ocean where I might stand a chance of getting away!
I'm desperate to get away if I can just get into the water I at least stand a chance.
I could still feel the ocean in the strange way I can when I heal the coral, I concentrate on that feeling. Then I can sense all the living creatures around me. I ask with all my might Please help me!
water starts to swirl on either side of the goons. it's rising getting faster and faster and taller.
" Are you seeing this?" one whispers
"Of course I am!" the other snaps in reply.
"Now now Miss none of that. It won't end well for you" he's staring at me.
I'm not controlling it, I had only asked for help. But there's no other explanation in my mind that I can find for water suddenly disobeying gravity like this.
It's got to shoulder height then keeps going until its right over each of their heads....
The goons are instantly covered in water that has risen and drenched them, crabs start to climb up their legs and clip them.
The goons start to scream.
Their hold loosens...
This is it my chance to get away as i rip one leg free of their grasp we all freeze.
Out of no where we are covered by a massive shadow. We all stare up in shock.
I laugh when I see the goons faces. They look a tad worried. This can only be a good thing..
It looks like the bottom of a plane.....
