Will looked at him curiously. "Do you think you will see me again?" At the change in Jem's expression, he added, "I mean, is there a chance for me? To have another life after this, a better one?"
As Jem opened his mouth to answer, a rustling came from beneath their feet. Just as they both looked down, a tentacle shot from the surface of the river, wrapped itself around Jem's ankle, and yanked him beneath the surface of the water. Will bolted to his feet with his blade in hand; the water was still boiling where the creature's tentacles were thrashing wildly, indicating that Jem was getting some good blows in. Will's heart pounded, firing blood and the call of battle through his veins.
"Hell," he said. "Just when it was getting interesting, too," and he leaped into the water after his friend.
