RUBY'S POV
The old woman landed with a thud on the ground before I finally gasped for air.
I placed my hand against my chest struggling, to breathe as I looked down at her body.
My palms were sweaty and my eyes were watery.
My entire body burned like flames and then soon it felt like I was choking again.
Under water.
I began to cough and cough, feeling the life being drained out of me.
I was drowning, my nose was filled with water, I was trying to reach out.
Screaming for help.
But no one was helping me.
I could see the ship up above me.
I could see a small figure on the ship looking down at me.
I tried to call out to the figure but I sank deeper and deeper until...
"RUBY!" Bale called my name and I felt him jerk my shoulders.
I startled awake, slowly coming to reality and looked at him.
"It's okay." He said through blurry eyes.
My body was still trembling, my mind was still very much a daze and he softly said. "It's okay."
