I struggle to stay quiet. Still. Everything in me is begging me to scream. I cover my mouth. Shake.

Leaves quiver near my head. The water waves around me.

Something is mere inches from me.

Grr!

My ears ring. The loud sound echoes.

I can’t breathe. Can’t think.

It’s so close.

Sniff, sniff.

I’m going to die. Going to be fish food. I don’t have a weapon to fight anything off. Barely have any energy left after getting myself free from the rope. I’ll never see Halen or Ivy again. Won’t see my parents or Roman or Bash. Why am I thinking about Bash at a time like this?

Something cold brushes against my arm.

I scream. The sound echoes all around. I’ve alerted every deadly fish for miles of my whereabouts.

There’s only one thing to do. The stupid thing. It’s all I have left.

I swim away as fast as I can.
