Chapter 151: The Island
It was all dark, but she could hear splashing all around her, followed by heavy waves slamming down.
"H-"
She almost groaned. How many times has she blacked out and then woke up in some new location? This was starting to get ridiculous.
"H-"
She bet someone like the Victorian didn't have to worry about things like this happening. Neither would someone like Battery. Mr. Larison was way too cool to be constantly blacking out like she was.
"Hope!"
The voice of Kevin rumbled in Hope's ears. She mentally sighed as she felt her body start to wake back up and function again. Even without opening her eyes, she knew her body was still stuck in its tiny new form. She felt a little extra weight on her back, though, which confused her. She also felt sand and water splashing on her and a pair of lips on hers-
Her eyes snapped wide open, and she prayed with all her heart that Kevin wasn't giving her CPR. Thankfully for her, it wasn't Kevin above her. Unfortunately, it also wasn't anyone she knew personally. She didn't make a good first impression either, as moments later, she began to vomit up an entire bucket's worth of seawater.
The person giving her the CPR, whoever it was, thankfully removed their lips just in time. She coughed and gasped, her body shaking. "There, there. Let it all out." It was a young woman. One who was currently patting her on the back as her lungs became free of water. "You'll feel better once your lungs are clear."
She tried to nod her head but was unable to as more water and sand flowed out of her mouth. She was gasping by the end of it and couldn't help the shudders that went through her. Tears were streaming down her face, and she felt really embarrassed about the crying in front of another person, but she also couldn't really bring herself to care.
The woman who had seemingly saved her life kept rubbing her back, soothing her nerves. "T- Thank you." She managed to gasp out. "I almost drowned! Did you save me-" She stopped suddenly when she finally took notice of the person who saved her, and she instantly felt her face go red.
