She forced her legs to keep going, despite her body screaming at her to stop, she felt like she was getting slower.
He grabbed her shirt and pulled, throwing her down the hill. She screamed as she tumbled down like a rag-doll, crashing back into the water. He jumped on top of her, holding her head under, a hand on her throat the other over her face.
She fought him, kicking and punching. She was finally able to get her head above the surface, gasping for air, but was dragged back under. She could hear her heart pounding as she fought for another breath, her heartbeat got faster and louder, she started to feel dizzy. I'm going to die! I'm dying! She panicked, as the edges of her vision darkened and shook, her lungs burned as she struggled not to breath in water unsuccessfully. Her head felt like it was being crushed, and everything ached, and burned then; Nothing.
