MY LOVELY AUTHOR'S

ON THE VERGE OF DEATH PART 5

        “Authorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!”

            That scream sounded so pleasant in my ears. The heavy voice that always calls me Author, the longer I get used to it. That voice, that call and the owner of that voice were originally something that was very annoying to me. But the longer I've been around, the voice, the call and the owner made me get used to it.

           “Authorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Open your eyes, Authorrrrrrrrrrr!!!!”

            I heard that voice again. I would love to open my eyes to see the owner of the voice, but .. Both eyelids that close my eyes I cannot open. No. Not just my eyelids, but all of my limbs refused the orders I gave from the brain.

            “Authorrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!”

            I heard that voice again. And this time .. I tried very hard to make the motor nerves in my body move according to the commands that my brain says. Slowly ... I could open my eyelids and stare at the dark sky mixed with the morning sun streaks.

            Has this changed days? I asked that in my mind while trying to process everything that appeared in my vision.

            “Authorrrrrrrrrrr!!! Look here, Authorrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!”

            I heard that voice again. This time my body began to feel the shock at where I was and a gust of cold wind that hit my body. I moved my head and tried to look towards the voice that was trying to call out the yag call always called by someone.

            “You're up, Asha??”

            I saw the face of Sena who came closer to my face and blocked my view to see someone who called me Author.          

            “As I said before, Arata will never let you go even when you force him to leave. Arata is the kind of person I hate the most because they are so stubborn even after their loved ones try to throw it away over and over again and hurt him over and over again. And it made me think of myself, Asha.”

            I blinked my eyes several times trying to receive the information I saw and I heard when all the senses in my body were not fully functioning properly.

            “A-what do you mean, Sena?”

            Sena looked towards Arata who was on another ship that was still quite far away from the ship where I was. Sena then carried my body and made me see my body in a condition bound to both my hands and my feet. In the state of being carried on his shoulder, I saw a long chain tied to one of Sena's legs and at the end of the chain was an iron circle that I felt was quite heavy.

            “What do you want to do, Sena??” my yelling. “After killing a lot of people, you want to die just like that without paying all your mistakes to a lot of people??”

            Sena threw the iron circle first and soon the iron circle slid quickly to the bottom of the lake that I did not know how deep it was. The chain that connected the iron circle with Sena's legs, moved quickly and within seconds pulled Sena's body carrying my body.

            “Authorrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!”

            Just before plunging into the cold water of the lake, I heard Arata's cry and could see the look on his face looking at me with a frightened face.

            Byur ....          

            Sena's body that carried my body slid rapidly into the depths of the dark lake. I held my breath with all my might to protect my lungs from the lake water that was trying to enter. But ... From the beginning I could not swim and my breathing endurance was no more than thirty seconds. So within thirty seconds of falling into the lake, my rebellious lungs needed oxygen to survive.

            Huwaaah ... the breath-holding position that I had been maintaining for thirty seconds, was now receiving orders from my brain to survive. My mouth opened and thrashed for oxygen. But in the lake, in the water, even if there is oxygen, humans will not be able to take that oxygen. Humans have lungs and not gills like fish that filter oxygen from the water. So ... once the mouth is open, the lake water goes directly into my lungs. The brain, which is constantly ordering oxygen, is now slowly losing its oxygen supply and starting to stop giving its orders.

            My body is wriggling to escape from Sena, but ... Sena was still holding my body back from dying along with her.

            Blub .. blub.

            Just before my eyes were completely closed, I said to myself. That hand, I don't want to lose it. For the first time in my life, I was afraid of losing someone.

            Narrator’s POV

            The Admiral and Leo who saw the ship in the middle of the lake and Sena who was on it, immediately rushed to chase the ship. Incidentally once or perhaps Sena did not expect the arrival of the Admiral and his team to be this fast, leaving the second ship by the lake without tinkering with it before going to the middle of the lake. Due to the size of the ship that was not very large and could only fit a few people, the Admiral pointed at some of his men and left Leo and some other men on the edge of the lake to ask for help.

            Unfortunately ... something unexpected happened. Before setting off in pursuit of Sena's ship, Arata leaps towards the Admiral's ship and forces him to come with the Admiral.

            “Master Arata!! What are you doing??” The admiral managed to capture Arata's body which almost went into the lake. “Didn't I tell you to wait by the lake??”

            Arata who seemed to have absolutely no fear, replied to the Admiral's question with a smile on his face. “Can't, Sir. I can't wait when my power is in danger!!!!”

            Having to chase after Sena's ship, the Admiral had no other choice but to bring Arata who had jumped forcibly into the ship.

            “Relove, Sir. Don't be rash!!! That man over there, could have done something bad to Miss Asha considering that there have been many people that she killed!!!” The admiral gave a warning to Arata. “Master understands?”

            Arata nodded his head. “I understand, Sir.”

            “One more,” Admiral intends to ask Arata important questions. “Can you swim?”

            Arata nodded his head again. “For that one, I can be sure of you. I have several licenses when it comes to acting including swimming and diving.”

            Seeing how Arata seemed to be complying with his orders, the Admiral thought his decision to bring Arata was the right thing. But in fact ..the decision was the wrong decision. Arata immediately shouted to Asha as the distance of the ship he was riding along with Arata and his men approached with Sena's ship.

         “Authorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!”

            And that shout was not just one or two times.

“Authorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Open your eyes, Authorrrrrrrrrrr!!!!”

“Authorrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!”

“Authorrrrrrrrrrr!!! Look here, Authorrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!”

The dark night sky slowly turned bright due to the sunlight. And thanks to that sunlight, the Admiral along with his team could clearly see Sena and Asha who were on board. But thanks to Arata's shout, the shout seemed to make Sena take a crazy decision before the Admiral could negotiate with her.

Byur ...

In the blink of an eye, Sena jumped up carrying Asha after throwing an iron circle connected to a chain at her feet.
