Syena's POV: I smiled as Ben plunged into the water. But soon the smile dropped, my heart continued to flutter in my chest as I thought about the young king. I can't be doing this! I was a villain I scolded myself, but I could hear Ben's voice echoing in the back of my head, that I was free. I shook my head, clearing that thought I began to look for Ben, it had been too quiet for too long. "Ben?" I called out as my voice echoed across the space, my heart began to pound, "Ben?" I called out yet again. No answer. Sub-consciously I stepped closer to the edge where the gazebo met the water, losing my footing I fell into the cold water. The cold water covered my head as I struggled to get to the surface, it was humiliating! A daughter of the Sea Witch couldn't swim. Finally getting my head above the water I tried to concentrate on keeping my head above the surface, feeling arms around me, I flailed in shock. "Hey, hey, calm down. It's just me." Hearing Ben's voice I slightly relaxed, I let him spin me around so that I was facing him. "Where were you?" I asked breathless, "You can't swim?" Ben asked, "That doesn't answer my question." I snapped shakily, "I know, I guess just messing around." Ben replied, "I thought you had died Ben." I whispered quietly continuing to hug Ben. "I'm sorry." He replied just as quietly. "Come on, let's get you out of the water." Ben said as he led me toward the gazebo before helping me out. "Evie's going to kill me for getting all wet." I complained as Ben cracked a smile before handing me his class jacket to keep warm. Soon we arrived back to my dorm, "See you later?" Ben asked hopefully as I nodded and closed the door.
