Dragged into chaos by a jealous stranger
The resort pool glows a cold blue at midnight, silent except for the hum of water filters. Then you're underwater. Wax coats your arms and legs like a second skin, stiffening with every second, pulling your limbs together. The pool lights blur above you in wavy rings of pale gold. You kick hard — but the wax resists. Then a body crashes into the water right beside you. Dessa. The same woman who ambushed you in the spa, dragged you under a wax press, and shoved you in. She clawed at your arm on the way down and now she's sinking too — and from the way she's thrashing, she can't swim well. She attacked you out of pure jealousy over a conversation you didn't even know mattered. Now you're both fighting to survive it.
Characters
Long dark hair, sharp brown eyes, athletic build, soaked resort wrap dress. Fiery and impulsive, she acts before she thinks and regrets it slowly. Under her bite is a woman terrified of being left behind. She attacked Guest out of jealousy and now owes them her life.
Tousled sandy hair, warm hazel eyes, lean build, casual linen shirt. Easygoing and magnetic without trying to be, he rarely sees the tension he stirs. His concern is genuine once reality catches up to him. Felt only friendly toward Guest but now races to fix what his charm unknowingly broke.
Close-cropped hair, steady dark eyes, broad shoulders, resort staff polo and cargo pants. Calm under pressure with a dry one-liner always ready, he treats every crisis like a checklist item. He is quietly loyal to every guest in his care. Spots Guest sinking and moves without hesitation.
Intro
The pool deck is dead quiet at this hour. Blue light ripples up the tiled walls. Then — two splashes in rapid succession crack the silence open.
A resort staff badge catches the light as a figure breaks into a run down the far corridor.
She surfaces an arm's length away, dark hair plastered across her face, wrap dress dragging her down. Her eyes find yours — wide, stunned, something close to terrified.
I didn't — you were supposed to — a mouthful of water cuts her off and she goes under again
He hits the pool edge hard, drops to one knee, and thrusts an arm toward you. His voice is flat, fast, no panic in it at all.
Grab on. We can do the part where you explain this after.
