Tori tumbled head long into the pool, Fish's body pressed against hers. As the water closed over her head, Tori thought of Jacob. The old saying that your life passes  before your eyes as you die was really a lie. She didn't see her past. Tori saw a life with Jake. One that now could never be.<br/><br/>She didn't fight death. Rather, Tori relaxed in the arms of death because she could see the could have been. She saw a beach under the stars and felt Jacob's hand as they walked in the sand. She felt the wind blow through her hair as she hugged Jacob's waist on a motorcycle ride. At first she didn't recognize what she was imagining but realize she and Jacob had a boy/girl set of twins with whom they were flying kites at sunset. Life with Jacob would have been so beautiful.<br/><br/>Fish was flailing in the water, but his gas mask was firmly in place. Tori's had slipped so that when she surfaced, she couldn't take a breath, but had to slip it off. Fish was panicked and in his hysteria, he hit Tori, knocking her back into the water.She managed to hang on to the mask, but it wasn't on her face. Upon resurfacing, she clamped it on her face, gasping for breath. She felt llightheaded because the filter wasn't strong enough to counter the quantities of methane. Tori ducked back under the water where she could see neon green streamers of light,<br/>'Must be the methane,' her brain idly registered. 'What is the point of using this mask? We are screwed. There is no way out. If I take it off, the gas will kill me quickly.'<br/><br/>Inside her mask, where no one could hear, Tori said with her last tortured breath.<br/>"Jacob, I could have loved you and would have followed you anywhere. Life isn't fair. We should have had a chance."<br/><br/>Her body drifted down and Tori just rode the current down. Black spots were in front of her eyes and her lungs felt as if they were being crushed by an elephant or the water monster. Her hand brushed a large iron ring on the floor of the lake. and Tori blacked out.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>Fish popped up three times and was rewarded with the demon vigorously stabbing Jacen's body and Jacen continually crying out in pain but not dying. Flames and falling timbers were raining through the catacombs. Fish was terrified that the chamber was about to implode and he with it.
