Love In Sirens

Successfully Getting to the Surface

Exactly like what had happened before, when the SS Ourang Medan was successfully taken over. The remaining survivors were left to escape and die of dehydration on the uninhabited island.

It will happen to them next too.

Jhonson opened the door to the lifeboat, then first touched his feet to the sand of the beach where the island they were stranded on today. He told the others to stay on the ship, while he just looked around whether it was safe or not.

While in safety, Jhonson signals the others to get off the lifeboat with Jacob holding Tio down. After Tio had been sitting under a shady tree at the end of the island forest, the three of them then pulled the lifeboat ashore so as not to be washed out into the open sea.

They pulled him up to 5 meters away from where Tio was at the moment. The plan is they will build a tent with wood and maybe coconut leaves that are nearby, and they also have to find water to drink. The task is ordered for Jacob and Jhonson, while Daniel keeps Tio there.

"Captain, do we have to make a campfire?" daniel asked because he thought it was going to be a cold night.

There was no response from Tio. As Daniel glanced at the captain, his position was curled up asleep behind him. For fear of interrupting his rest, Daniel went back to silence and just played the beach sand he was on.

A few minutes later, Jacob and Jhonson returned. They managed to find a spring in the middle of the forest, not forgetting they brought it there so Daniel and Tio could drink as well.

"Daniel, wake the captain. Let him drink first" Jacob said.

Daniel nodded, "well" he said, then approached the captain, shaking his torso slightly. However, there was no response at all.

Daniel's hand continued to shake Tio's body, "the captain woke up first, Jacob and Jhonson brought water to drink."

"Captain?" call again.

There was a fear that enveloped Daniel's heart as Tio repeatedly did not respond to his call. A strange feeling began to reassure him that something was wrong with the current condition of his captain, especially when he touched his skin only cold felt.

He also just realized Tio's body was paler than usual, what not-don't...

"Captain!" daniel shouted in panic and with courage he turned Tio's body.

Hearing Daniel yelling at his captain was certainly a concern for Jacob and Jhonson. The two of them approached Daniel who was already pecking there, too shocked by what he saw. His eyes were perfectly rounded, his lips dropped, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

They both looked at Daniel. There they saw that Tio was already stiffened, with bluish lips and pale skin that was very clear. The up and down movement of his chest was also not clearly visible, it was a sign that he was no longer breathing.

Jacob approached Daniel, "what happened?"

"I-I think captain.." Daniel replied depending, he could not continue his words. Feeling unbearable and not wanting to accept the other bitter reality after the departure of the crew of another ship and this time the captain.

Of course he doesn't want to admit that at the moment.

Tio Ivankov Valmord as a descendant of the Ivankov family resumes their cursed lineage. Where they will die in the middle of the sea when they become captains of ships like their ancestors. This time, the cause was a fierce fight between Tio and siren which was the cause of the death of the family down to the point that he lost a lot of blood.

The vice-captain who was appointed indirectly captain of 0AS-Ship 5389 finally died. It could be said to be a tribute to having served the ship and guarding the crew, or this was an ongoing curse.

Jacob examined the pulse on Tio's neck, ascertaining whether he was really dead or not. But Jacob's expression said everything, Tio is dead.

Jacob looked down sad, "the captain is not there," he said softly.

"What should we do?" daniel asked with a straight blank look at Tio who was stiffly stretched there.

"We must bury the captain properly" said Jhonson with a heavy heart.

...****************...

Aoi and Thania continued to throw their tails while making sure both Audrina and Zayn remained on their backs. They had already darted fast to avoid the reddish dim light that had followed them since earlier.

Without looking back, Aoi and Thania moved smoothly avoiding all obstacles towards the surface with their highly capable swimming power.

Audrina tightened her grip on Aoi, "My hands are slippery, '" she said, shouting slightly. His hands were repeatedly almost released as the faster Aoi swam, the stronger the water pressure they received from the front.

Aoi pulled Audrina's hand from letting go, "hold it a little more! We're almost to the surface" exclaimed Aoi still with her eyes straight ahead, focused on reaching her goal.

Repeatedly Zayn's hand also almost slipped from his grip, making Thania hold it more until Zayn's face turned reddish with embarrassment. For fear of disturbing Thania's concentration, he said nothing and just kept quiet.

A little more, they will reach the surface. However, Gloria's scout dispatch also did not want to lose to them. Trying to make the four of them overwhelmed and not leave the lake before the red siren army came.

While the rest follow them regardless of their fallen comrades.

Aoi sizzled annoyedly until her fangs looked sharper, "ck, why are they still following us anyway?" the problem while nimbly avoiding some vines that spread there.

Looking at the plant that was getting thicker and thicker, they realized that the surface of the water was near.

"Thania, even faster!" aoi's words with a melodious howl made Thania nod and the two of her blushed.

As they made it out of the thick of the vines, a second later they appeared on the surface. Audrina and Zayn finally re-breathed oxygen, breaking the lead of those who could breathe in water from eating the ampelous plants before.

Audrina panicked a little to make the originally calm water ripples become noisy. Aoi quickly brought Audrina to immediately pull over to the edge of the lake and climb onto the wooden board bridge that was there.

"Don!" panic Audrina.

Aoi pulled Audrina's hand and led her to hold the stairs and went up there, "hold this, step your foot slowly as you ascend," Aoi recalled as she held Audrina's waistline from behind.

Audrina said, "don't let go!" fill it with a feeling of worry.

"Yes, Ody. I won't let go of my grip on you," he said gently trying to convince Audrina.

Thania and Zayn, who came a little further from the bridge, had to spend more effort to get there. Due to the sudden change in circumstances, Zayn's body was a little surprised to make his nerves not work too well.

Inevitably, Thania must lead Zayn to approach the bridge still with his arms. Zayn's hand that had originally been behind Thania's dorsal fin slowly descended into her slender waist circumference.

Because Thania was too over-positive thinking, she did not mind it.

"I'm nauseous" I'm Zayn with a disheveled face.

Thania turned to look at Zayn, "Zayn, a little more huh. After this we rest at Villa," he persuaded that Zayn could hold back a little longer.

"Alright," Zayn replied softly still with his disheveled face.

Thania moved her tail slightly in the water and when she got near the bridge, she slightly pushed Zayn's body forward to help him hold the stairs. However, when he touched the stairs, Zayn's feet were pulled into the water to make him sink into the water again.

"Zay!" audrina shouted hysterically as she saw Zayn being pulled into the lake.

They had forgotten about their enemies because they thought they would not follow this far. Thania dives back into the water to pull Zayn back up to the surface, as he is currently in danger. When it is pulled through the vines, there is no chance of Zayn surviving.

Zayn covered his mouth and nose with both hands, trying to hold the air bubbles out in order to breathe longer in the water. He occasionally tried to kick his leg which was pulled by the scout, but his strength was far less.

Highlight the hopeful eyes of Zayn waiting for help finally sparkled a little, as he saw the silhouette of Thania diving closer to him while sticking her hand forward. Seeing that, Zayn tried to grab Thania's hand by sticking out her hand as well.

Thania's tail movement sped up again to catch Zayn who was getting deeper, until he managed to catch his hand.

Thania's pupils dilated the sign of wanting to attack,"astin na fygei! Tha pethaneis apo ta cheria mou! " (Let him go! Or you will die in my hands!) he said while giving a stern warning and hiss is quite long.

"Dokimste to an boreite," (Try if you can) the scout replied to Thania's hissing.

With all the force aided by her tail thrust, Thania managed to pull Zayn up. But two against one, of course he lost in terms of strength.

As Thania understood, Aoi appeared from behind and helped Thania pull Zayn to the surface. Aoi also gave a fierce resistance that overwhelmed the scouts.

"Whoi?"

"Pull your might Thania! Zayn was almost out of breath at the moment," Aoi's remembrance with a resolute greenish highlight made Thania feel her spirit flames burning even more to save the current Zayn.

Thania clenched her smoky hand, pulling Zayn strong to escape the alarming pull of the red siren lookout. However, they were also unwilling to lose and increasingly put up a truly troublesome resistance.

Right now they have to get to the surface, before Zayn runs out of breath.
