Piper pov
The impact didn't kill me but the cold nearly did. Freezing water shocked the air right out from my lungs. My limbs turned rigid, I lost my grip on Jason. I began to sink.Strange wailing sounds filled my ears--millions of heartbroken voices,as if the river distilled sadness. The voices were worse than the cold. They weighed me down and made me feel numb.
"What the point of struggling?" they told me." You're dead anyway."
"You'll never leave this place."
I could sink to the bottom and drown, let the river carry my body away. That would be easier. I could just close my eyes. All the pain suffering betrayal it would all end.
Jason gripped my hand and jolted me back to reality. I could not see him in the murky water, but suddenly I didn't want to die. Together they kicked upward and broke the surface.
I gasped, grateful for air, no matter how sulfurous. The water swirled around them as I got my sensed back and made a whirlpool. I notice Bob was gone then again he never came up from the water. He came in to help us and may never leave.
Through I could not make out my surroundings I knew this was a river. River's have shores.
I noticed land willed the water towards the shore. I was almost dead with exhaustion this water felt like poison.
