Red eyes

Chapter 6: Close call

P.O.V. [Name]

I sighed as we arrived at the beach and looked at Raven. "Are you ready?" I asked looking at her. She nodded when I asked this and I sighed. "Then I'll wait here until you are," I said looking at her. When I said this she nodded and walked away.

Lilac then pressed up against me and I looked at her. She then hissed at me and I sighed. I knew this subject was going to come up sooner or later. "Yeah I know it's her," I said looking at her. She then once again hissed at me and I looked at her. "Because I thought she was dead," I said looking at her.

She then hissed at me again I reached up and held my chest. "Of course I do," I said as I looked at the black haired female. I then once again heard a hiss and looked at Lilac. "I don't know, I'm sort of hoping that's the case. Lilac then once again hissed at me and I sighed as I looked at her.

"I don't know, I imagine she's probably pretty pissed at me for not saying anything," I said once again averting my attention to the female. Lilac then hissed at me and I sighed. "Can we please talk about this later? I understand you want to talk about it and talking about it would probably be good for me but now's probably not a good time for me to have these thoughts in my head," I said looking at her.

She then nodded slightly at me and I looked at her. "You remember the plan right?" I asked looking at her and once again received a hiss. I then smiled and looked at her. Lilac then turned around and began to make a few webs for us that I began to make into makeshift ropes.

"Okay I'm ready," I heard a voice behind me and turned to see Raven in black bikini staring at me. She had the air dust that we had bought as well as what looked like a green dust strapped around her arms and I tossed the newly made rope towards her.

"Put this on, Lilac is going to pull us out if we get into trouble. Tug on it two times hard and she'll start to pull up," I said looking at her. She nodded and wrapped it around her chest twice. I then took off my shirt and repeated her action before walking over to the water. We then continued into the water and began to swim deeper into the water.

I had to admit trying to keep my eyes open in salt water proved to be more difficult than I thought. We then began to swim deeper until I felt a slight tug on my shoulder and turned to see Raven looking at me and pointing at a blue light in the distance. I nodded and we began to swim towards it.

Once I was in front of it I pulled out my pickaxe and began to try and mime the vein in front of me. It was hard for me to believe that it was really here. Two of the five legendary ores are now mine! I then reached down and got the air dust and took a deep breath before I once again started to mine.

I then heard some noise behind me and turned to see Raven fighting off a few shark like Grimm. She seemed to be doing fairly well from what I could tell. I then felt something hit me and turned to see one looking at me about to bite. The force from this caused me to drop my pickaxe and I looked at it as it sunk to the ground.

I then saw Raven stab the creature in the eyes causing it to stop and reel back before she cut off it's head. I then turned and saw several more approaching us. Raven then pulled my cord and then hers and Lilac began to pull us up. However I then felt myself slow down and looked up to see that one of the creatures had bitten and severed my cord.

I then felt an immense amount of pain coming from my side and looked to see red in front of me. I then saw Raven's sword move past me and hit the creature in the head before it began to fade. I wanted to swim to the surface but I could feel my strength fading. However this wasn't going to stop me from at least trying.

I continued to swim towards the surface however I could feel my body starting to give in and move slower and my vision was beginning to blur. I took one last look at the sky that shined through the water before my body went numb and my vision faded to black.
