Chapter 22

Dante’s POV

This wooshing sound of waves crashing against the shore wildly rang through my cars. The bright blue sky was above me and the vast ocean was before me. My hair was wet as were much of my b*dy but the tide coming in was tempting.

Too tempting that I refused to listen to the warnings of staying out of the water. I grabbed my surf board and charged forward right in to the blue abyss. The blood rushed through my ears, the wind trickled through my hair, and I waited for the adrenaline to kick in.

“Dant, are you insane? Get back here! The water is too wild.” I heard the wanting voices of the elders call out to me but I paid them no heed.

My surf board had already touched the waters surface and stood steady just as I climbed on top of it. The thick current of the water propelled me forward giving me a boost and for a fleeting second I was on top of the world.

Until that moment ended.

A high, violent wave washed took the board from beneath my feet unexpectedly with so much of force and a mind of its own that I was caught off guard. The board moved faster than my legs could keep up sending me right in to the heart of the monstrous wave. The loud shrieks and screams were the last thing I heard before I was catapulted on to the ocean.

The salty water travelled through my nose, burning like a freshly cut skin dipped in spirits. I gasped for air but there was none, just the wild, uncontrollable ocean that threw me from here to there. My efforts at regaining my control of the situation was futile. The water was too wild for me to navigate and despite my attempt at coming up for air, another wave crashed over me and this time I had nothing left in me.

I willed myself to kick my legs, to get back up again, to try once more and save myself but my b*dy didn’t cooperate. Every thing was dark and I was hopeless. This was the way that I was going to die just because I wanted to feel the exhilarating thrill of riding the wild waters.

My vision turned black and my b*dy allowed itself to be thrown around where ever the tide had taken me. My senses were bleak and unclear, so when a pair of arms wrapped around me, gliding me through the water, I assumed that this was it. This was my soul being carried away in to the nothingness.

“Oh my god!” I heard the frantic exclamationbas my back felt rough beads against its skin.

“His pulse is weak. Some b*dy, do something.” Portia panicked loud enough that it hurt my ears.

“No. No! Stay with me, Dante. Another voice begged but this voice was low and rippled with fear.

Her l*ps pressed against mine as she blew in to it while closing my nose all the while compressing my chest until my b*dy began coughing out whatever water had been making its way in to my lungs. I coughed and it burned my insides, my throat, and my nose.

My eyes opened widely and I saw the woman who saved me loud and clear as day but when I
