SWNOVELS Chapter 22
Chapter 22
Dante's POV
This wooshing sound of waves crashing against the shore wildly rang through my
cars. The bright blue sky was above me and the vast ocean was before me. My
hair was wet as were much of my b*dy but the tide coming in was tempting.
Too tempting that I refused to listen to the warnings of staying out of the water. I
grabbed my surf board and charged forward right in to the blue abyss. The blood
rushed through my ears, the wind trickled through my hair, and I waited for the
adrenaline to kick in.
“Dant, are you insane? Get back here! The water is too wild.” I heard the wanting
voices of the elders call out to me but I paid them no heed.
My surf board had already touched the waters surface and stood steady just as I
climbed on top of it. The thick current of the water propelled me forward giving
me a boost and for a fleeting second I was on top of the world.
Until that moment ended.
A high, violent wave washed took the board from beneath my feet unexpectedly
with so much of force and a mind of its own that I was caught off guard. The
board moved faster than my legs could keep up sending me right in to the heart
of the monstrous wave. The loud shrieks and screams were the last thing I heard
before I was catapulted on to the ocean.
The salty water travelled through my nose, burning like a freshly cut skin dipped
in spirits. I gasped for air but there was none, just the wild, uncontrollable ocean
that threw me from here to there. My efforts at regaining my control of the
situation was futile. The water was too wild for me to navigate and despite my
attempt at coming up for air, another wave crashed over me and this time I had
nothing left in me.
1 willed myself to kick my legs, to get back up again, to try once more and save
myself but my b*dy didn’t cooperate. Every thing was dark and I was hopeless.
This was the way that I was going to die just because I wanted to feel the
exhilarating thrill of riding the wild waters.
My vision turned black and my b*dy allowed itself to be thrown around where
ever the tide had taken me. My senses were bleak and unclear, so when a pair of
arms wrapped around me, gliding me through the water, I assumed that this was
it. This was my soul being carried away in to the nothingness.
“Oh my god!” I heard the frantic exclamationbas my back felt rough beads
against its skin.
“His pulse is weak. Some b*dy, do something.” Portia panicked loud enough that
it hurt my ears.
“No. No! Stay with me, Dante. Another voice begged but this voice was low and
rippled with fear.
Her I*ps pressed against mine as she blew in to it while closing my nose all the
while compressing my chest until my b*dy began coughing out whatever water
had been making its way in to my lungs. I coughed and it burned my insides, my
throat, and my nose.
My eyes opened widely and I saw the woman who saved me loud and clear as
day but when I

blinked, she looked different. I could have sworn it was Sophia who saved me but
just one blink had refocussed my eyes as Phoebe filled my vision. I took a few
deep breaths before my b*dy passed out from sheer lack of energy which made
me feel like I was dying all over again.
Snapping me out of it like a rug being pulled from beneath my firm feet, I gasped
as my eyes flew open only to be greeted by the white florescent light that hit me
right in the eyes.
Oh, thank goodness! It was just a damn dream.
I sat up immediately only to find that I was in a hospital room with monitors
hooked up to me leading to a beeping machine.
Suddenly, it has all come back to me. I recalled the incident when I had drowned
and I knew now for sure that it wasn't Pheobe who had saved my life but Sophia!
Sophia had been the women that risked her own life to save mine. She dived in
to the violent, uncertain waters just to pull me out of it with out caring that she
could have drowned herself for even trying.
My breath was harsh and erratic through the room and my head pounded
painfully as I made sense of it all.
Pheobe had lied to me from the start and so did her mother. Portia had been the
one who reinforced how indebted I was to Phoebe for saving my life when she
knew that that had been an utter lie. A lie told to gain my favour only so that I
would view Phoebe in a different light and feel like I owed her my own life in
return.
This whole time I kept myself planted at Pheobe’s side thinking that I couldn't
fully leave her, that I had fallen for her in the first place, because of her selfless
act of saving my life years ago but that was all bull shit.
It was Sophia all along!
She had saved me from the deep waters of the lake just as she had done so
from the crashing waves years ago. Sophia never reminded me about it yet she
knew the truth while Pheobe and Portia kept throwing it at me every time they
thought that I was sl*pping right through their fingers.
I reached to massage my temples as it throbbed but felt a bandage wrapped
around it. It was tender to the touch and I vaguely remember much that
happened after the black SUV knocked in to us sending us over the edge of the
cliff. The impact had hit my head against the roof of the car and I couldn't
remember much after that except for Sophia's voice as she dragged me out of
the water.
Shit! Where the hell was she? Had she been injured? Was she okay? Did
something happen to her?
Countless bone chilling thoughts ran through my head and I needed to know that
she was okay. I needed to know that she did not give her life up in the process of
saving me once again. I needed to know that she was perfectly unharmed.
Who ever had been responsible for our attack last night would be tracked down
and dealt with accordingly but that could wait. I needed to know where Sophia
was right now and so god help me if she was not. I would rain hell on down on to
the culprit until they wished they did not exist!
al
The situation could have been a lot worse. At least no severe harm had come to
Sophia but I still wanted a full medical report on her. I needed to make sure that
we had not missed any thing, it was

already my every intention to bring forever was responsible for this attack to a
brutal horrible Justice but so god helped me if any internal harm had been
caused to Sophia because of the entire accident.
I was here to make a call to Frederick but it would have to wait until I get out of
here. I don’t understand why they have chosen to keep me in the hospital for this
long, beside from my head which hurt like hell and the pain in my arm, I was
perfectly okay.
I threw my legs over the edge of the hospital bed which certainly was not
designed for comfort in mind and pulled out whatever monitors had been hooked
Up to me. I needed to see Sophia and make sure she was doing okay. I took the
first step towards the door and realize that I had a mild limp from the pain in my
back but it wasn't anything I couldn't bear.
“Mr Crawford you should not be walking around in your state.” a nurse called out
from behind me the minute I had exited the room but I paid her no heed and kept
moving down the hallway peaking into each room.
“Sir you need to get back to your room right now, the doctor needs to do a
thorough examination on you while you are conscious before you are free to just
walk around as you please. “this was the voice of another nurse that I also
ignored and continued walking practically looking through the small cutout in
each door hoping to find Sophia soon.
1 could hear collective footsteps walk behind me as if I was some deranged
psych Ward patient on the verge of doing something dangerous.
“what are you looking for? you are not allowed to barge in to-"
The nurses were beginning to get on my last nerve. “I am looking for Sophia

after pausing and swinging around to face all of them catching them of guard.

enough to have been let go.

driven herself home in her condition.

“who picked her up from the hospital? “I demanded to know once more and I saw
their professional resolve crumbled.
“a man by the name of Adam Huxley,” she said and that had caught me entirely
of guard since Adam was the last person I was expecting to show up after Sophia
had blatantly declined his proposal.
