Chapter 12 - | Chapter Eleven

I felt so cold.

Like the ocean waves are drowning me.

Like a thousand hands of the dead are pulling me deeper and deeper.

Where there is no light.

Where there's vastness of the dark.

Where hope seems gone.

But...

Could there be a new world for the dead?

Is it possible to return and exact my revenge?

I wanna live again...

---

Something hit my head. It was too painful that I regained consciousness. I am drowning in the middle of the ocean's freezing water. Where a ship is burning from a distance. And where the dead cannot hear me as their lifeless bodies float on the sea.

I tried to wriggle my legs, but cramps enveloped me. I searched for something useful to me, but the dress I'm wearing makes it even harder to swim. Finally! An object appeared, I pulled it out from my inner clothes.

"What is this?"

I seems like an ancient thing. There was a button on the middle of the shaft. My back tensed as the freezing salt water slowly paralyze my body reminding me that in the middle of the sea without someone's help I might not survive. Without doubts I held the object on my right hand and raised it as high as I could.

The heavy downpour of the rain made my eyes itchy as my hair kept on covering my face. A loud thunder strike appeared in the sky. And then I decided to push the button. I don't know if luck was on my side, but the object released a powerful red light and a sound like a horn being blown.

The waves suddenly roared like angry lions wanting to devour its prey. I held the shaft tightly and raised my painful arm as I pushed the button with all my strength the second time around. Three series of red light appeared in the sky, and it also tripled the sound of horn that came from the ancient thing I'm holding.

And before drowsiness devoured me, I heard voices and horns.
