82 For growth [5]

Splash—! 

I felt my body sink deeply into the cold water. At first, the cold took me aback, hitting me like a truck and taking my breath away. 

However, I slowly started to get accustomed to it. 

"Huaaa!" 

Emerging from the water, I took a deep breath. 

"Huuu... Huu.." 

It was extremely dark outside, and I could hardly see my surroundings. I felt an eerie sense of dread floating in the pond. 

The water was inky black, and as I circled my hands and legs to keep me afloat, I felt a nagging feeling at the back of my mind. 

What if I'm not the only living being on this basin? 

The thought sent chills down my spine. 

Taking another deep breath, I threw those thoughts away. In hindsight, I was indeed a little hasty with my decision to jump down. 

How much could I truly trust Delilah?
