CATaclysm

Chapter 5: Out of the Waters

Splash. The trio party all fail into the lake. Charles was the only one that knew how to smile so it was up to him to rescue  Amy and Magi.

Amy: Chars! Help-

Magi: *crying and drowning* Help me please-

Chars was stuck in picking on who to save first. A poor innocent 5-year-old girl or the ginger cunt that broke his heart. Of course, Charles raced to the aid of Magi, she was just a kid.

Charles: Don't worry Magi! I am on my way!

Charles started swimming as fast as he could and went to save Magi. The water was already to her chin, and longer and she would've been completely underwater. "Gotcha!" exclaimed Charles as he grabbed Magi by the arm and put her on his back. Now Charles found himself in another pickle, swim to safety with Magi on his back or try to look for Amy. Did he really have enough strength to save all of them, he wondered.

Charles: Amy! Where are you!

Charles did the human thing and decided to look for Amy. Although Charles very much disliked Amy, it didn't change the fact that she was a person in need of help.

Charles: Damn it all. Amy! Answer me!

No answer, Charles didn't want to consider the fact that Amy had already drowned. He kept calling for her but no answer. Amy was gone. Charles found himself almost out of strength having to float and swim with another person on your back isn't easy. He had to swim to land fast or both of them would drown.

Charles: *in tears* Why? Why did things have to end up like that.

Charles and Magi had arrived at a nearby small landmass that was in the middle of the lake. Here they would be safe from the catgirls sense they were surrounded by water. It was a little island for ducks and other birds but this was their resting spot now. Charles continued to weep for a moment before getting up from his knees and started to get wood. Both Charles and Magi were soaked from the incident so Charles gathered wood to start a campfire.

Charles: Magi?

Magi: *shaking of coldness* Y-yes C-chars?

Charles: Everything is going to be okay, trust me.

Charles was a boys scout in middle school so he knew a thing or two about surviving in the wild. Charles started to rub 2 sticks together with a stone and created a small fire. He fed the fire with branches, leaves and dry grass that he found. They both gathered around the fire and tried to stay warm. Nightfall was coming and Magi's stomach was growling with hunger. All they had left was a can of pinto beans. This is how they spent the end of the day, eating pinto beans out of a can around a campfire. No words were exchanged, they just ate and tried to sleep in hopes that tomorrow would be a better day.
