Looking out the only light above as he slowly sinks down.. He faced his biggest nightmare yet again.. he hoped that he will be saved again..
'Save me..'
. . .
Caspian's POV
'Look Father! A Boy! He's drowning!'
'Stay away! He's from the surface!'
'But- We have to save him!'
'Coraline! Come back!'
I snapped my eyes open as i bolted awake, i gasped catching my breath as my eyes examined everything around me, panicking internally.
I'm lying on a couch..?
I sighed as i held my beating chest as if my heart was about to escape from it's place as i wiped the sweat on my forehead, looking around once again to see myself in an unfamiliar room.
I removed the blanket on my body as i looked around the room, it was filled with supplies for fishing. I stood up losing my balance as i stumbled back down again.
I took a deep breath standing back on my feet as flashbacks from earlier entered my mind again, i shivered from the image of a large wave of water from earlier that nearly killed me as i shook my head.
I stumbled my way on a wooden door before slowly turning the knob to open it as i peeked outside to see a bunch of people circling a large table.
'Wait.. i'm at the mayor's office?' I thought to myself as my gaze landed on Jacob sitting on a chair as he looked up to see me. He quickly stood up sprinting towards me.
"Caspian! You're finally awake!" He exclaimed before sighing in relief holding my shoulder.
"W-What happened?" I rasped out squinting my eyes on the bright lit up room.
"You drowned remember?!" He cupped my cheeks looking for injuries in my head as i whined getting off his touch.
"I remember that.. i meant.. what's happening here..?" I whispered as he quickly entered the room, locking it close as he took a deep breath before facing me.
"Something crazy happened.." He stated looking me straight dead in the eyes as i paused.
"What?"
"Remember the famous rumor? Myth? Miss-stories? The.. Famous Sea People?" He kept his voice low before cautiously looking around as i frowned. "They're real and they're finally here.." He added.
I froze as he nods.
"Remember the famous drowned village..? The humans who could breathe underwater? Yes! It's true! Isn't that crazy!" He whispered-yelled as my eyes widened at his crazed gaze.
I thought it was only a tale from a kid's book!
"And the girl who saved you?" He asked once again as i gave him a confused look.
Girl? Who saved me..?
"She's one of them."
⊱ ───ஓFLASHBACKஓ─── ⊰
I snapped out of my thoughts as i looked around to see myself swimming underwater.. my eyes widened as i looked up to see a drowning kid slowly sinking down the deep waters.
"Look Father! A Boy! He's Drowning!" Someone yelled as i moved my gaze below to see a raven haired little girl walking on the sand.. Underwater.. as if they're living underwater just taking a walk.
"Stay away! He's from the surface!" A brown haired bearded man exclaimed as he hid his seemed to be 'daughter' behind him as they watched the blonde haired boy sunk down.
I panicked as i quickly swam towards the drowning kid, reaching my hands out to save him as he only went passed my hands.. as if i was a soul.. a transparent ghost..
My eyes widened once again as i stared down to see the boy's face..
He was me! My 5 year old body! Drowning!
"But- We have to save him!" The raven haired girl quickly swam towards my 5 year old body carrying me up the surface as they passed me once again. I swam trailing behind them as the raven haired girl brought my body to the shore.
"Coraline! Come back!" His Dad yells out below as i swam out the water walking towards my body and the unknown girl.
"Please be alive!" She whispered-yelled shaking my small body as she looks at the water then back at me again, taking out something from her pocket as she quickly placed a familiar blue shell pendant on my small hands.
And then i finally realized everything..
⊱ ──ஓ๑FLASHBACK END๑ஓ── ⊰
"Coraline.." I blurted out as i held the pendant on my neck.
"Huh?" Jacob eyed me confusingly as i quickly slammed the wooden door open as all eyes were on me.
"You!" I yelled out as i approached them.
"Caspian! You're alive!" Mayor, Mayor Wang quickly patted my back as my gaze were fixed on the sea people, their shining pale white skin and dark blue eyes stood out throughout the room.
"Y-You're from the sea!" I stammered as a long haired man with glasses eyed me with narrowed eyes.
"Who is this? Where is his manners?" He sighed adjusting his glasses as Mayor Wang laughed nervously.
"Don't pay a mind! He's the one who drowned! He might have hit his head hard or something.." Mayor scratched his nape as the long haired man with glasses eyed me once again.
"And Once again.. I'm Wade Malik, The scale of the God of the Sea, A person from the sea." He pierced his eyes through mine as he looks away, "And we the people from the sea once again would like to reunite with the surface people again.." He added with a small smile.
"Caspian! Come here! Don't make a fuss!" Jacob quickly pulled me towards him as i held him by his shoulders.
"They're the one! T-They're the one who saved me!" I stammered as i shook him.
"Exactly.. now come on! Let's go home! This is an adult's business!" Jacob exclaimed as he pulled my wrist out the small shack.
. . .
The crickets chirped as we walked down the stone pathway home.. the moonlight shines lighting the whole village as the moth flies around the light poles on the street.
"Were you okay back there? You were a little crazed.." Jacob muttered as he pocketed his hands. My brows furrowed as i looked down.
"I just can't.. believe that they're real.. i guess.." I mumbled as he laughed.
"I know right! It's crazy!" He smiled. "And i can't believe we're one now! Oh, how cool would that be!" He added continuously ranting as i spaced out, thinking about the unlocked memory earlier.
'Coraline..'
