"Marinelle! No! Nooo!"
"Dont do it Manelle! You can't swim!"
Dinig ni Amber ang mga sigaw, pero iyon na siguro ang huling pagkakataon. Pagod na siya. Hindi na niya maigalaw ang mga paa... Just so tired, even breathing was a torture. A loud splash as she was dragged down again. Hindi maintindihan ni Amber kung bakit pinipigilan siya ng dagat lumangoy, pilit siyang tinatangay.
Something brushed... bumped against her. Her heart gave a thud. There was something she could hold on to. She failed her arms frantically. She was kicked or nudged in the chest, hindi siya sigurado.
The sudden pain brought Amber's numbed limbs to life. She kicked hard and managed to get her head to the surface. Pero hindi pa siya ligtas. Hinihila pa rin siya ng ilalim ng dagat.
May sumakal sa kanya. She fought it.
