Before even I knew what I was doing, I pushed Sofi out of the way and was knocked into the icy cold river.
I closed my eyes and let myself sink.
Sofia's cries were heard from above.
She tried to jump in and save me, but I used the last of my energy to block the surface.
When my feet didn't touch the ground I was a bit scared.
I opened my eyes and saw that I was floating, not sinking.
¨What?¨ I said. Wait........how can I talk?
I tried to swim, but there were invisible forces around me. Working against me like a box.
¨I-I don't understand!¨
Then, I saw light. As well as dark.
¨W-what? Wait! I-I'm not ready yet!!¨
The air bubble had popped and my lungs filled with acid water.
I grabbed at me throat. My vision blurring.
Sinking. Sinking to the bottom of the River of Death.
