Geisha boy

Do or die

Screaming, panic , terror. People are running around without any real plan. Some soldiers are obeying the general without fail, while some of us ( me ) are hesitant. I'm staring down the cliff edge, but I don't know what to do. I can feel the ground shaking beneath me and I can't bring myself to jump. How the heck am I suppose to jump when I have a horse and carriage!

I had all of 5 second to think before Ping came up behind me and shoved me off the cliff. My body is numb and my mind can't keep up with all that is happening. With out even a second to take in the fact that a horse and carriage is falling right on top of me, my body smacks the water. My body stings as if I'd just hit concrete and than sank into pool of freezing emptiness.

Kicking and screaming I'm trying my best to make my way back up to the surface. When I finally make it to the top I gasped for all the air I could but was unpleasantly surprised with gallons of water. People are swimming and flailing all over the place but my mind is solely focused on trying to find Daiyu and Mushu. I have to know they're ok.

" Daiyu ! Mushu ! " I cry out to avail. Everyone was so lost and afraid no one had time to care. That and plus it's hard to save others when you can't even save yourself. That's right... I can't swim ...

Being sickly I was never aloud to go swimming due to the concern that I might get sick or drown. And yet here I am... Drowning

I feel something tugging at the ankle of my outfit and judging by the pointy appendages, it's Mushu ! I stop fighting the water and begin to let myself sink, my body's already numb and cold so it's not like it could get much worse. Right ?

I'm trying my best to see in this blurry ass water, but the water is too busy flailing around while giant Ice shards fall around me. I see Mushu who seems to be stuck, or tied up, in Pings horse reins. Great my guardian and horse are drowning !

I sink a little deeper until I'm a little over eye level with Mushu. He see's me and directs my attention to his tied up tail and all I can think of is the fact that he's an idiot.

I can feel my lungs getting tight as I hastily begin to undo Mushu's tail. It slips off pretty easily so I quickly begin to kick at the breaking wood panels that attach Pings reins to the carriage. My hearts racing as I feel my chest growing tighter and tighter, but I can't leave Ping. I'm kicking harder and harder but Ping is kicking around and freaking out so that's not exactly helping!

Finally, I'm able to break the panel in half and we both manage to make it up for air. We get one short breathe before a huge ass ice shard falls right in front of us and spooks Ping even worse. I look up to see that the avalanche is now pouring over the cliff sides.

We both began scrambling for the shoreline, however, it's too late. For me at least. Ping accidentally kicks me in my stomach causing me to lose all of my oxygen and engulf more water than air. My lungs swell with the lakes water and my ears begin to ring. I'm choking on everything and my vision blurs as I began to sink. My arms instinctively are clenching my stomach instead of swimming like they should. Images of life run through my head, I realize how I've never had a boyfriend, not even a kiss. I've never gotten the chance to play with the other kids, or even have any of my own. I've never even gotten to tell my family who I really am...

I hear the roaring of snow growing loader as it grows closer to the water. I clench my eyes shut.
