panic rushed through you, it felt as if you were drowning, which you quite literally were, thrashing around to keep your head above the water. the icy cold sea engulfed you, dragging you in and whirling you around with absolutely no mercy. suddenly there was a loud crack, a bolt of lighting and a rumble of thunder overhead, terrifying you to the point where you could have passed out, but no, you wouldn't let it win. though soon your limbs started to ache, with the sheer cold and the fact that you'd been struggling for what felt like hours. the exhausting was welcoming you with it's arms, giving you a way out of the horrors. the idea became more and more appealing, but you hung on, just that little bit longer, screaming at the top of your lungs for someone to come and save you. "help! help me! i-i'm dr-" then a huge wave crashes above you, flinging you into the depths of the ocean, darkness swallowing you whole. it was long until your lungs started to burn because of the absence of oxygen. eyes wide, arms flailing around, the cold spiking through your body. you were fading, but screaming and crying as everything crumbled....
you jolted awake, a loud scream ripping through your throat as you scrambled around in bed. breathing was near impossible, gasped and panting as you tried to pull yourself together.
"baby, (y/n), shh, you're okay." a soft but worried voice sounded next to you, making you jump in surprise. your vision was blurry with tears, and still couldn't get your head around reality.
"it's mina, i'm here with you." gentle arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you into her lap. your heartbeat was jumping like crazy, all over the place. it took five minutes of mina holding your hand a murmuring sweet and reassuring phrases until you started to calm down.
"that's it darling, feel this-" she raised your hand to her chest so you feel the faint steady thump of her heart.
"i-i.. water.. h-help.." your incoherent mumbles faded out as your surroundings started to morph into your familiar room, calming you down now that you were orientated.
"it's not real, you're here, safe, with me." she smiled, kissing your forehead and using her thumb to brush your tears away.
"promise?" you ask shakily, desperately staring into her eyes for support.
"sweetheart, you'll always be safe with me."
