FREEDOM (Oh, and a little drowning)

Her form would go limp in his jaws as soon as jaws would close around her scruff, it was both a relief and a fear of his. What if he wasn't strong enough to get her to shore? What if his leg broke again? He tried to quell the panic threatening to rise as he began to paddle back to the shore he had left to save this girl. The shore that suddenly looked so far away. But he would power through it, long limbs and awkwardly large paws working hard to drag the extra weight back with him. As the neared the shallows another form would appear, calling out to ask if they needed help. Erion couldn't even grunt in response, breathing shallow now as he was forced to drag air in through his nose rather then his mouth. Despite the cold water he was hot, he needed to pant but he couldn't. Not until he got her to shore.
A forepaw lash forward and toes scraped the ground. There! He continued to push forward, throwing his last ounces of energy into flexing his toes into the soft sand to try and pull him closer. Then his paws hit fully and his forward momentum slowed considerably as gravit began to pull down around him and he realized the full weight of the girl. But he would keep her in his jaws until they were in ankle deep water before he would finally release her. Tongue immediately lolled out over jaws as he lowered his head and shook the cold water from his pelt violently. He felt writes his skin was numb feeling but his core temperature felt way too high. "Are you... Okay?" He finally managed to pant out, his first concern to the girl before the boy on the shore. If she wasn't maybe the boy could run for help.
