The Emperor Is Searching

Everyone was screaming, there were tears everywhere and both by the children and a.d.u.l.ts.

Kleila heard the noise but she thought they were in her dreams, it was one of the passengers who kept screaming in terror that woke Kleila.

Although Kleila is already awake she still didn't know what was happening. After a while of lying tiredly on the bed, she decided to go and look for Dae-Du just in case he got himself into trouble.

Immediately her feet touched the floor, she panicked. There are waters everywhere and the water is reaching her stomach. Apparently she was sleeping on top of water unknowingly.

Kleila began to scream for help but no one was near by and so no one heard her. She began to swim towards the door and when she got there, she fought with the handle but it didn't bulge and this made her begin to cry while screaming for help panicky.

She screamed and screamed but no one came, she placed her back on the door and begin to pray for help and suddenly she started hearing someone pulling on her door handle ..she made way for the person to open the door and to her surprise, it's just a young girl who seems to be around ten to twelve ..her eyes red from obvious crying.

Kleila opened the door fully and swim out, she begin to carry the girl but the girl told her that she can swim and this made Leila say a big thank you before telling the girl to swim after her.

As they were swimming with the intention of getting to the deck, the boat begin to bend and this course Kleila and the young girl to lose balance but luckily for them they fell at the same place.

"We're going to die." The young girl said while crying and Kleila didn't know what to say to her for that's exactly what she thinks.

"I don't want to die." The girl panicked when the ship began to sink with them. Kleila hug the girl and told her not to give up on her while her herself, her body is shaking so terribly.

Kleila urged the young girl to swim when she saw a window open and the girl did as Leila instruction. When they reached the window, Kleila pushed the girl out but she didn't let her go until she too fall into the icy salt water.

"I can't, I can't hold on much longer, it's so cold." The girl said. Her face as cold as she feels.

"What's your name? Kleila asked and the now dead white skin girl told her.

"Hye-kyo, please hold on to the rubber tightly, don't let go." Kleila plead, referring a plastic rubber that fell from the boat and which she handed to Lee Hye-kyo.

When the girl nodded her head, Kleila left the girl hand and snatched two floating male pants, she tied the knots at the bottom of each leg and lift it in the air, after some time, she yanked them downwards into the water where they collected air and then she uses it as a floating device

They float away from where the ship is so it won't hit them when it falls into  pieces. At some point she started feeling like they have hope but when she looks around and still sees water, she feels more dead than she already is but she didn't show it for the sake of her Hye-kyo.

"Keep going, we're almost there." Kleila said to Hye-kyo but she shakes her head no before whispering painfully. "I can't."

Kleila begin to cry because the look on Hye-kyo face is scaring her, she has no trace of blood in her body and her body is cold as ice.

"Don't cry, instead tell me how you learned how to make the things you did with these pants." Hye-kyo asked a dead smile on her face while pointing at the still floating pants

Kleila let go of Hye-kyo hand and began to smile while looking at the sky in prayers and at the same time tells her young savour how she learned how to make the floating pant and who taught it to her.

When she finished and received no response from Hyekyo, she turned to look at her and what she saw made her burst into tears.

Hye-kyo is dead, she died when Kleila was explaining the floating pants to her.

"Mother taught me! Hye-kyo mother taught it to me when she was bringing me to Hanson. Hye-kyo!JHye-kyo!" Kleila cries as she pull Hye-kyo lifeless body to her. Hye-kyo lifeless body was hanging onto the plastic rubber and with the help of the still floating pants before Kleila pull Hye-kyo to her.

Kleila cried and cried but no tears came out but she's crying. She let Hye-kyo body go when it started coursing her floating pant to sink. She cries all over again when she watch the body sink.

She felt so numb, so dead but she continued to swim, she swim until she couldn't any longer and then she fall inside the water, her body sinking deeper and deeper, her eyes wide open but she sees nothing and at the same time, she sees blackness.
