Tamsyn ran at a frantic pace, occasionally glancing back over her shoulder to see if they were still after her. A few seemed to give up the chase, but there was still enough of them that if she stopped and even half of them stung her she'd be in for a world of hurt and would probably swell up like a balloon. She was panting hard by the time she heard someone calling to her, pulling her mint gaze toward a tall, dark woman with white markings that was running as well. There wasn't time for her to even consider why the woman was running or why she was helping her, she just started following the stranger immediately.
She caught up and started running along side her would be acquaintance. Moments later the pond she was obviously being led to came into view. Perfect! Without much hesitation, Tamsyn dove in with a large splash and kept herself beneath the surface for as long as her aching lungs could bear. Normally jumping head first into water and getting soaked to the bone would be pretty far down the list of things she would like to do, but at this point it felt like a saving grace. When she finally needed to come back up for air, she popped her head through the surface with a gasp, flinging water around her as she tossed her head back. Blinking her eyes open, she quickly looked around and searched for her insect assailants. One or two buzzed lazily around the surface of the pond, but for the most part they had all dissipated and she was able to breath a relieved sigh.
