The Start of a Journey... and a First Disaster

Dean was in pain, there was no doubt about that. A few glass shards had punctured his shoulders, but he'd be able o manage. He looked over to Selia who was still gripping onto his hand. She said something to him, but he couldn't really hear her, only parts. Something about getting out. She must mean the room... Dean thought. That was something he was starting to think about as well since the water was pouring in through the broken window and the door was closed.

With a bit of a struggle, Dean pulled himself up, still not letting go of Selia's hand. He grabbed for the knob of the door but his hands were so slippery that it was quite difficult. He looked down and saw that the water was already up to their ankles, and rising quickly. He wouldn't be able to open the door. He'd have to teleport; something he hadn't thought of sooner, and had no idea why. He pulled Selia close and said over the noise, "I'm gonna have to teleport. Hold on!" He waited until Selia gave him some sort of okay sign that she was ready."

The waves kept crashing harder and harder, the lighting coming even closer, and all Dean could think to himself was that he just wanted to leave. To get as far away from the storm as soon as possible. And take Selia with him. He looked at her and saw her nod of approval. Dean breathed in and out a few times to get ready; teleporting with another person always made him a bit weak and light headed.

Suddenly, lighting struck again, this time catching fire on the side of the boat, and quickly rather quickly, to strong for the rain to put it out. Without wasting another moment, he quickly focused on the dock where they had departed, being the closest thing to land and in a second they were gone.

Something was wrong, when Dean and Selia landed, they didn't land of hard ground. They didn't land on ground at all, but in water. Dean was afraid of that happening. They had traveled too far from the land, restricting his teleportation. The sky was dark and he could barely see a thing, but held on tight to Selia as they waded in the water.

It was only mere moments after they'd hit the water once again that they were smashed with a giant wave a separated. Dean went tumbling underneath the water, and when he finally broke surface, he couldn't find Selia anywhere near him. The storm was extremely loud and with the addition of the crashing waves, he could barely hear his own voice, let alone Selia's. "Selia!" Dean cried, trying as hard as he could to stay afloat while still searching desperately for Selia. "Selia, can you hear me?!"If anything happened to her...he'd never forgive himself.

As he looked around, he could see faint figure in the distance, and quickly began to swim towards it, though consolatory getting pushed back or pulled under by the violent waves. "Selia!" Dean cried again, this time swallowing a mouthful of salt water, and almost vomiting at the taste of it. He swam as fast as he could, hoping that whatever he was swimming towards was in fact Selia.

Dean was frantic, thinking the worst about Selia, again. He kept trying to tell himself that she was still alive because she was stronger than he was giving her credit for. The figure he was so focused on continued to bob above and below the water, making him imagine that it wasn't even a person at all, but he had to know for sure. He was almost certain that he could hear Selia calling his name, but then again, it could have been the harsh wind of the storm and the crashing of the waves that he imagined it

A large wave hit him once again, and when he had gone under, there was a moment where he thought he wouldn't resurface. He was just getting so weak that it was so easy, a little too easy, for him to just float underwater...but he couldn't, Selia was probably trying o find him in the chaotic storm, he couldn't give up.

Dean finally resurfaced, gasping for breath and swam as fast as he could towards the figure that was still visible through the pouring rain. He had to know for sure if it was Selia or not; and even if it wasn't, he still search the entire ocean for her."Selia!" He was so close now...

Dean was almost certain that the figure up ahead was in fact Selia, and he was getting so close. When the figure would get swallowed underwater and disappear for a bit, Dean would panic slightly, afraid he lost sight the it being Selia and would look desperately until it resurfaced. And every time it did, he'd swim even harder, needing to get there sooner. no matter how much salt water he ended up swallowing or how weak he felt, he could stop swimming or fighting until he got there.

He was sucked under yet again after a giant wave came crashing down on him, pulling him under. The force was so strong, he felt as though he'd be too weak to resurface. Dean kicked and reached for the surface, losing his breath, and when it felt like he would never make it, he did, and once he broke through the surface, he saw it. The figure up ahead, that which was so close now, was Selia. He could hear her call him and wave, swimming towards him.

Without a moment to spare, Dean charged through the water with every bit of his strength, not wanting to lose sight of her again. And finally, after what felt like and eternity later, he finally reached Selia, grabbing on to her with the little energy he had left. "Finally," he breathed, "I found you."
