Chapter 61 ~ Do you understand?

ATHENA

A thick, suffocating darkness surrounds me.

Cold. Wet. Heavy.

I can't breathe.

Water clings to my skin, soaking through my clothes, and weighing me down. My legs kick, my arms thrash, but there's no solid ground beneath me. Only the endless, inky abyss swallowing me whole.

I try to scream, but the moment I open my mouth, water rushes in. It burns. It fills my lungs, dragging me deeper, deeper until all I can hear is the muffled roar of my heartbeat and the distant echoes of my own cries.

Then suddenly,

A hand.

It grips my shoulder, fingers digging in painfully. Not to save me. Not to pull me up. To push me further down.

“No,” I choke, bubbles escaping my lips. I claw at the hand, at the unseen force keeping me trapped in this nightmare, but it's too strong.

The water is cold, but my chest burns, and my body convulses, desperate for air.

I see shadows above me. A towering figure watching. Laughing.

And then I'm falling...

Not through water, but through darkness.

An endless void.

Wind rushes past me, howling in my ears, but the ground never comes. I fall and fall and fall....

Until a sharp jolt rips through me.

I wake up gasping, my body drenched in sweat, my fingers clawing at the sheets like they're the only thing keeping me tethered to reality.

My throat aches, and my breaths come in ragged, uneven gulps. The weight in my chest is still there, pressing down like I never truly escaped.

The room is dark, but a dim glow filters through the curtains.

I'm not in the water. I'm not falling.

I'm in Sloane's apartment.
