Lonely Soul
The sand between her toes dissolves as the maroon vixen takes a few more daring steps toward the oceans uncharted depths. Not a lick of fear plagues her mind despite this being the farthest she has ever gone into the ocean. Mentally she prepares herself for the sands drop off, as she assumes it will come soon. The whales and dolphins on the horizon seemed to jump and dive with ease, which made her curious. How deep was the ocean anyway? Were the currents soft like a lake, or were they hungry for victims like a river? So many questions swirled in her mind as she carelessly waded farther out. Fear has never been an issue for the girl, and her daring personality oftentimes got her into trouble. The difference now was she did not have Artemis to save her if her experience went south. She was completely on her own now, and although she has been for a while, she would not fully comprehend the principle until she was forced to face trouble by herself. She is lost in thought when suddenly sand beneath her dissipates, and she takes a rapid deep breath before the vicious current pulls her down into the abyss. Kicking and squirming she tries to fight the currents strength, but due to her small size she does not prevail. Her chest burns as her body begs for oxygen, but she knows once she exhales it will be over for her. The salt water feels like fire against her eyes as she struggles to open them and look toward the oceans surface. It was getting farther and farther away as each second passed. At this point she did not know how she was going to get out of this dangerous predicament. There was no way she could beat the current alone. |
