She sat there listening, waiting for a response. But none was forthcoming. All she could hear were the waves Lapping the shore. After several seconds, she shouted again.
“Old man, where are you? There is a shark in the sea!”
The sea was much quieter now, but only the sea breeze and the waves were answering to her.
Where was he? She couldn’t let anything happen to him. How could she?

Something bobbed to the surface. Was that…a person?
Debbie cried excitedly.
“Old man! Old man, over here!”
Carlos got closer and closer. But then she noticed that there was blood in the water. He was injured! But it was worse than that.

Debbie’s face went pale. She waded into the sea again. She couldn’t let
Carlos die before her very eyes!
The shark darted towards him. She could see its fin gliding through the waves. It got closer by the second. Debbie swam nearer to Carlos. She poked her head out of the water and warned Carlos while panting, “Old man, shark! Quick!”
Then she dived in and swam towards him as quickest she could.
Carlos stuck his head out of the water and yelled at her, “Get away!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe heard him, but she couldn’t go back. What if the shark was hungry, and Carlos was on the menu? She couldn’t swim back to the island knowing that Carlos was in danger.
She swam on. Carlos’ eyes burned in anger.
“Damn you, Debbie! I order you, go back!”
But it was too late. She was already at his side.
“Move! Shark!” Debbie grabbed his hand.
Then they started to swim as fast as they could.
When the shark was quite near, Carlos suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“Why are you holding my wrist? Swim!” she urged. She didn’t want to end up dying in a shark’s mouth. She didn’t want that fate for Carlos, either.
But Carlos still didn’t release her hand.
