Random Mini Event: Surfs Up (Way Up)

the line swells, growing larger, and Dulla’s apprehension grows with it. as terror steals across Jack’s face, horror dawns upon her in the same instant with such ferocity it steals her breath. Jack’s voice rings through the air, a single word laced with incalculable dread.
RUN!
and Dulla does. her feet carry her with scarcely a thought, keeping pace at Jack’s side as they sprint across the beach, spraying up sand in their wake. but as a thundering roar fills her ears, she takes note of Jack’s speed, of the restraint bunched in those muscled legs. surely he could out run her easily, and yet -
she staggers as she’s pushed forward and goes skidding across the sand, and yelps when water crashes into her side, sweeping her off her feet. for a moment, everything is coldwetdarkcoldsocold. instinctively, she clenches her eyes shut, feet churning as she battles her way to the surface. it’s only once her head has broken the water, gasping in a lungful of salt-hewn air, that she truly understands. Jack’s figure shrinks into the distance, flailing through the waves as he’s whisked out to sea - and a scream tears itself from her throat. “Jack!” fear sluices through her veins in icy rivulets; he’d tried to save her, had used those last precious seconds to push her into shallower waters, and now…now…
like the very manifestation of her desperate hope, a woman comes sailing overhead and lunges into the water, plowing forward with dazzling strength. “i’m fine!” Dulla rasps, lifting her chin to keep above the current. it’s not entirely true, and she’s not exactly the most adept swimmer, but in that moment, she hardly cares. “help him!” she’d vowed, after her family, that she’d always look out for herself first - fuck the rest of the world. but he’d tried to save her, and if there was one thing Dulla believed in, it was justice.
