The force of the explosion was so powerful that Avani flew backwards and landed in the black polluted water.

She fought to hold her breath, fought to keep her eyes open, fought to live.

But it wasn't enough.

Air bubble floated up as Avani's limp body sank deeper and deeper into the ocean.

The black polluted ocean.

Just as Avani's eyes couldn't fight anymore, she saw a light.

A light so bright.

And darkness took over.

Avani.

Avani groaned and opened one eye.

Avaaani.

Avani rubbed her eyes.

Avaaaaniii!

Avani gasped and jolted upright.

Then the recent events poured back into her mind.

Wasn't she just underwater?

Wasn't she just going to drown?

Huh. Interesting.

Avani looked around.

No one was there.

Avani?

She turned around.

Nothing except a piece of paper on the...

Cloud?

Avani bent down and poked the fluffy ground.

Clouds.

She shook her head, sighed, and decided to stop questioning the unusual.

She picked up the piece of paper.

Read this out loud, don't question it, just don't:

Deniz

Tadita

Krian

"Deniz...Tadita...Kiran."

The paper in her hand disappeared out of the thin air immediately when she finished reading the last word.

Suddenly, without any kind of warning, the fluffiness vaporized beneath her feet and Avani stumbled and fell.

Not even two seconds in on the falling, the wind blew her to the left as if she was a feather, and it pushed her to the right.

Left, right, left, right, left, right.

Until Avani couldn't take the dizziness anymore and freaked out.

She swung her hand in the motion and raised both of her hands as if they were pulling something and trees, leaves and branches shot up from the ground.

She landed on a tree.

She didn't realize how tired she got until she couldn't catch her breath.

Avani gagged.

Oh no.

No no no no no.

This cannot be happening.

Avani doubled over and puked right on the branch she was sitting on.

Disgusting black oil and a bit of plastic ruined the beautiful brown and green plant.
