Halia frowned as she tried to remember what happened the day that she drowned. She remembered falling into the water, she remembered everything falling quiet, she remembered kicking and flailing as she tried to grab a breath of air and she remembered the burning sensation as water entered her lungs. The fear and helplessness she felt made it one of the scariest moments of her life. After all, everything could have ended right there.
But then, she remembered something soft on her lips and the taste of cotton candy as air was breathed back into her lungs, and she remembered glancing up into a pair of cold yet caring eyes as she coughed up the water in her lungs. She remembered looking around for her savior when she regained her consciousness but only seeing the back of the boy as he ran off to get help. Lastly...she remembered seeing a bag of cotton candy on the ground...and feeling embarrassed when she realized why she could taste cotton candy on her lips.
