Chapter 15: I Owe You.

Annie woke up in James room. She woke up gasping for air, next to James. James didn't do anything bad to her, did he? She quietly got up as James wrapped his arms.

"Where are you going?" James pulled her back towards him.

"I-I have to go to work." Annie trying to escape from his grasp.

"Silly girl, I'm not at work today, which means you are going to be at work, bored." James chuckled.

Annie sighed. She felt weak against James holding her. She slowly stopped struggling and relaxed.

"Are you feeling better?" James worried.

"Y-yeah, thanks to you." Annie looked down.

James started blushing. He felt proud for saving Annie's life. With Annie praising him, that was the best feeling it gave him.

James got out of bed and picked up Annie.

"Hey! I can walk you know!" Annie trying to get down.

"Any girl would not struggle when someone picks them up. But when it come to you, you try to get out their arms." James started laughing.

"Master! Is Annie okay?" The butler helped Annie down.

"I'm fine. Thank you Butler for helping me." Annie shook his hand with appreciation.

"Without your help, we wouldn't have found Annie, thank you." James thanked him.

"It's my pleasure Master." He bowed with respect.

They walked to dinner room to see plates and plates of food. Annie looked at the food with light shining in her eyes. Suddenly, she had the flashback from last night. She backed down.

James caught her in his arms.

"Annie, you must eat something. You're getting weaker and pale." James tried handing her a plate.

"I will try..." Annie fed her a spoonful of chicken noodle soup.

The warmness of the soup helped Annie eat more. She finished her breakfast, and got dressed.

Annie came out in a outfit making James blush. The shimmering light reflected off Annie's skin, making her glowing.

"You look beautiful as always." James grabbed Annie by her waist.

"Thanks, I guess." Annie blushed as she hugged him back.

"Come on, I'm taking you on a cruise."

"A cruise?!" Annie getting excited.

James grabbed her hand and ran out the door.

-

The waves crashed against the boat, rapidly. The gray clouds started rumbling.

"You sure this was a good day to be on a cruise?" Annie started worrying.

"Let's inside the boat."

The lobby inside the cruise was luxurious. Golden lights flickered as thunder crashed.

Annie got scared, James held her tightly.

"Captain what's wrong?" James went to the control room.

"The steering wheel... it's out of control!"

"BOOM!"

The boat crashed into giant rocks. Making the boat, break into half.

"Annie!!!"

Annie fell into the cold water. This was a huge problem. She couldn't swim!

James jumped into water trying to save the drowning Annie.

The waves crashing into James making him swim farther away from Annie.

He swam under the vicious current. Annie slowly was running out of breath.

James hastily grabbed her arm and swam to the surface. The boat was so far away.

James vision began darkening. His body was weighted down, he was so tired....
