I see all of the shimmering fish surround me, playing in my hair. I swim as fast as my legs will take me, then letting the current take me where ever it wanted, I feel free here, like nothing can hurt me.

I see a shark pass me like I wasn't even there, I wasn't scared, just... mesmerised. I dive further down into water following it, I hide myself in the silky, green, sea-weed and watch it slide into a small cave of coral.

I relax as I get ready to float up towards the smiling sun, ready for my next deep breath... but I'm not going anywhere. I try to relax more but, I'm still not moving! I look down and see that, wrapped around my ankle, was a thick peace of sea-weed. I struggle to get free but nothing changed. I pull my leg up and feel a small thud and float a little bit further toward the surface. I pull again and the same thing happens. My lungs scream for the air that they can't reach. One last tug and I would be free... Suddenly, I feel, tired and dizzy. I don't have anymore energy to keep swimming, the air now centimetres away, starts to fade. I know what's happening...

I'm dyeing.

I have to breathe in, my arms are numb, my feet won't move, I'm exhausted. I open my mouth but all I get is icy, cold salt water. No longer able to keep my eyes open, I close them.

I open my eyes, I feel nothing, I have no sense of direction. I see two holes, one black and purple, and the other, white and yellow. When I look at the black hole, I feel cold and unwanted. But when I look at the white hole, I fell warm and safe, I instantly new what that was. However, I get drawn towards the black hole, a force that I can not fight. It pulled me closer. As I entered it, I felt an overwhelming pain and suffering. The hole started to close, the white light disappearing from existence. I screamed even though no-one could here me. As the hole closed, I think to myself that I would never get to that safe place. Suddenly, a bright white light appears from the centre of darkness, from it I hear a welcoming voice call my name, over and over, and over, and over...

Sarah!   Sarah!   Sarah!

I open my eyes, to see six blurry faces staring down at me. I take a deep breath in and feel an amazing warmth, one I haven't felt for what feels like eternity. As the faces become clear, I see that two are my parents. I jump up and hug them. I feel amazing, like nothing can hurt me.
