With a loud ssh, the water erupted.
He was quickly swallowed by the waves.
"Sean!" Luna screamed, throwing her car door open.
Without a moment''s hesitation, she dove into the ocean.
Sean gasped as the icy water jolted him awake.
He opened his eyes, his gaze wide with panic.
What was happening? Where was he?
"So cold..."
Before he could finish the thought, he swallowed a mouthful of seawater.
The salty, briny taste made him want to vomit.
It was freezing. Why was he in the ocean? Was this a dream?
"Sean! Sean, hang on!"
It was so cold that Luna''s voice was trembling.
Despite the howling wind, Sean managed to hear her.
"Lu...na..." he stammered, his teeth chattering from the cold.
"Sean, hold on! I''ll get you out of here!" Luna shouted, growing frantic as she saw
the waves carrying him further away.
This time, he clearly saw her.
It was really Luna, swimming desperately toward him.
"Luna! Luna..."
A wave crashed over him, pulling him under.
"Sean, hang on!"
Luna screamed, swimming as fast as she could.
He sputtered, his limbs aching from the cold, his strength fading.
For the first time, Sean felt the terrifying power of nature.
He was losing his strength, his head spinning. He watched Luna fight her way toward him, desperately wanting to shout, *Luna, don''te! Go back, it''s too dangerous!* But his voice was a hoarse whisper, his body too frozen to speak, his teeth chattering.
"Lu...na... don''t...e..." The words were barely audible, his breath pluming in the freezing air.
Seeing Sean gradually sink beneath the surface, Luna''s heart plummeted.
"Sean!"
Her eyes welled with tears as she pushed herself to swim even harder.
The water was painfully cold, like a thousand knives slicing at her skin, but she didn''t slow down.
She had only one thought: they had to get out of this alive, together.
Finally, amidst the churning waves, she caught Sean''s sinking form.
A wave of relief washed over Luna. She gripped his hand tightly and started the grueling swim back to shore.
They weren''t far from the coast, and arge wave gave her an unexpected boost, pushing them closer.
Just then, the bodyguards Keith had sent arrived.
As another,rger wave approached, the two men rushed into the surf to help. "Luna, are you okay?"
Luna looked at him and shook her head. "Zane, I''m fine. Let''s get to the car, it''s too cold out here."
Zane and the other bodyguard helped Sean to his feet, and they all hurried to the
car.
"Luna, have a change of clothes i
my card''ll get him changed. You
should get changed in your car first
"Okay." Luna was shivering uncontrobly. She nced at the weakened Sean.
"Hurry, get his wet clothes off first."
"Right."
Sean was taken to the other car by the two bodyguards.
Luna went back to her own car to change.
She cranked up the heat to the maximum setting.
The warm air immediately began to soothe her trembling body.
With shaky hands, she quickly stripped off her wet clothes.
In the winter, they always kept spare outfits in their cars for emergencies.
After changing, Luna grabbed a towel to dry her hair. In just a f
