Melody's pov







-

Drowning is quiet, movements are subtle, you rarely make any noise at all. One minute your head is bobbing above the water and then it is gone.

I was highly confused as to why I was dreaming of such a scene. The gentle waves pushing and pulling me in every direction, as if they were fighting over me just like all of the men I've dated

There was something comforting about the water, like a cold hug that made you warm inside. I was accustomed to those hugs since I received them from many snakes wearing human flesh and paraded around my house calling themselves family

It felt as if my eyes were opened in this dream which was odd. It all felt so real, my body drifting towards an unknown destination

But I'm pretty sure I'll wake up any second now and I'll be wrapped in my silk robe that my dearest grandmother bought for me from Rome

Reminds me, I should start my tenth bucket list for the month and send it to my father so he'll organize it

The cold chill on my skin was somehow met with something solid, not like a rock but more of land

It felt so real and I was confused by it all. Sand. The most gentle hue of gold, almost earthen and muted, the humble star of the scene

The same as the beach but more dense, it wasn't your usual beach. No, it was far different. As if it was an undiscovered texture. The waves carried by body onto the land

I was far from seaweed, that flora of those salty waves, as deeply green as any high summer foliage. Everything felt so different and I haven't even open my eyes

Perhaps I should just allow myself to fall deeper into this creepy dream

The silence around was enough to put me at peace, Air moved in blossoming brilliant arcs within the sun rays of a new day. The calming splash of water touching my toes was my substitute white noise to silence my nerves

It would all be over with when I wake up-

"OOWWWWWWWW" A deep scream rolled through my throat when I felt a sharp pain in my toe

A crow of perfect black inky wings alights upon my freshly manicured toe. In the sunshine, it's shadow casted over me but the sun was still blinding, making sure I couldn't open my eyes to see more than my own hands. But how could it's shadow be so much to cast over by body?

Another sharp pain ran through my body again when the mother fucker pricked at my skin

"YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT" I hissed, clearly awake by now

My feet pushed forward to kick the animal off my body but it was too stubborn to follow simple directions

"I always liked woodpeckers better" I glared

But the bitch turned its head to the side almost as if it was giving me a "really bitch?" look

My amazement had fallen through because the next thing I knew was that I was surrounded by taller shadows casting over my body and it surely wasn't an animal although they were built like one

"is vultus hominum" a dark skin man hissed

He stood tall with a defined jawline sharp enough to cut a rock, his hair was black and flowed behind him with it braided like a pleat, there wasn't a facial hair on his body, he was smooth as any petal but the muscles on his body made him look rough.

What caught my attention was his tattoos, they resembled tribal designs I've seen on many body builders who wanted to prove to people that they were independent and could wear ink all over their skin

But something about the many black dots and curves all over his broad chest seemed different, almost as if it was something I've never seen before. Or perhaps he was unique and came up with the design itself

But why would he want to put tattoos all over his body and his forehead

Maybe he was an Avatar fanboy. Aang surely wasn't going to notice him

He stood there gripping a stick with a sharp edge- IS THAT A SPEAR!?

"What the fuck!" I hissed, propping myself on my elbow

"is vultus cerritulus" another voice said

I barely snapped my neck around to see three other men standing behind me. The sharp blade of their spears were all pointed a little too close to my cheek

They better not pop my fucking botox

"Um, excuse me. What the hell do you think you're doing!?" I scoffed

Why the hell was all of them wearing a G string, one cloth hooked around the extra flesh between their legs followed by a string that was stuck up their ass

Well, atleast they didn't have their toxic masculity. Any man who wears a G string in public got my vote

And that's on Joe Biden

But where the hell was I? My eyes glanced around to only see white sand, endless along the shore while the ocean in front seemed empty and bare, not even a boulder in sight

It was like something right out of one of those trashy low budgeted movies when a group of strangers end up in a Plane Crash and try to survive as long as they could

But without the sex

This must be some prank of my sister, ofcourse. She was always a playful, but it's all fun and games until the sand touches my asshole

But that doesn't explain why I'm on a beach with sand that's... Oddly white. I've never seen such a thing before, the golden hues looked as if it was all bleached to match minerals

"cute sit cerritulus" someone mumbled, placing his nasty ass fingers on my leg

What the fuck does this walking man bun think he's doing!

"Hey! Hands to yourself!" I hissed, finally scrambling off the ground to stand on my feet

Panic was starting to kick in, whatever prank this was, was starting to feel a little too real. It was far too late in the afternoon for this bullshit

I hope Mira pops out from under that water in a submarine and calls this stupid prank off

Then I'll fire her

As a matter of fact, I should start writing her a letter write in the goddamned sand

My arms crossed against my chest as I gave the men a glare directly into each of their eyes. One by one I followed along but their attention wasn't on me

That's a first-

The men chatted between themselves in some language I had never heard before

Rude.

"I'm right here you know" I scoffed, but still they ignored every word I said

Their eyes trailed over my body as they furrowed their brows. It took a few seconds before they all nodded in agreement for something

"tolle eam ad regem" the familiar face man pointed

"Tolle what now?"

was the last thing that left my throat before their arms wrapped around my body
