Sofia sat curled up, hugging her knees tightly, her gaze fixed on the TV screen and her phone.
She felt a deep sense of fear and anxiety, worrying about the safety of Alexander and Coral.
Her heart raced nervously, and her palms grew sweaty with worry. She glanced at James' number on her phone, knowing he must be occupied with the rescue efforts.
Reluctantly, she refrained from calling him, not wanting to add to his burden.
Suddenly, her phone rang, startling her. She picked it up and saw that it was her elder brother Nolan calling.
Sofia answered, her eyes welling up with tears, as she listened to her brother's mature and caring voice. Nolan had been suffering from a heart disease, and his wife had passed away two years ago. He didn't have any children of his own and now lived alone, despite Sofia's repeated offers for him to come live with her. Instead, he devoted most of his time to his passion for painting.
"Sofi, how are you?" he asked softly, addressing her with affection.
"H--ello"
Nolan sensed that something was wrong in her voice.
Sofia burst into tears, and Nolan's concern deepened.
"What happened? Tell me, Sofi. Did something happen?" he asked anxiously and his worry was evident in his voice.
Struggling to regain her composure, Sofia managed to utter, "Ty-ph-oon." Her voice was barely audible as hot tears streamed down her cheeks. Nolan was taken aback.
"Typhoon? What do you mean?" He swiftly turned on the TV, which was broadcasting news about a dangerous typhoon.
"A-lex-ander is caught there..." Sofia's words hit Nolan like a ton of bricks. He immediately switched off the TV, grabbed his car keys, and sprang into action. "Don't cry, Sofi. I'm coming,"

The car slowly sank into the water, causing everyone to faint from the tsunami impact. Inside the car, they struggled to breathe due to the increasing pressure and the force of the hurricane.
Super Bee used her spiritual power to prevent the car from sinking further, but that was all she could do.
As the water touched Coral's body, she closed her eyes and her long golden-pink hair floated around her. She took a deep breath and attempted to open the car door, feeling the water rushing in. She looked at everyone inside, unsure of where to take them. She needed to find a safe place.
"Have you found a safe place?" Coral asked anxiously as Super Bee returned and nodded.
"But how will you take all of them? If you save one, another will have a problem here." Super Bee said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'll try to save them as soon as possible." Coral said, splashing her tail uncomfortably due to the small space in the car. She quickly pulled Aria, who was close to her, out of the car.
"Follow me." Super Bee said, flapping her wings rapidly in the water.
Coral felt the force of the water as she swam out of the car. She was worried that if she didn't save them quickly, she would lose her new friends.
She didn't know what to do. All she could do was save them one by one. She started swimming rapidly with her tail while holding Aria.
Though she was weak on land, Coral's power in water was unmatched.
The place Super Bee found was a high mountain where a beach house was located.
"How will I take them there?" Coral asked anxiously.
"With your tail." Super Bee said, rolling her eyes.
"But I can't climb such a high mountain. I don't know what to do." Coral said, growing more anxious as the rain poured even heavier.
"You can jump high, right?" Coral nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Just try to jump using your spiritual power, remember that pill I gave you. Trust me and give it a try," Super Bee said.
Coral nodded, closing her eyes. She felt a surge of anxiety.
"Relax, forget everything. Trust me, nothing will happen to them." Super Bee said softly.
Coral nodded, still holding Aria tightly. She tried to relax, focusing as she tried to use her spiritual power. Her friends were still in the car, and she needed to act quickly to save them.
