Chereads / Go as the wind / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Stevan jumps into the river while pulling the kid in, but suddenly Stevan is jolted back in the land by the kid "H-hey! I dont know how to swim!"

I am dumbfounded "You dont know how to swim?!" Stevan and I respond in union "N-no.." the kid looks shyly away.

"Awooooo!" the howlings are closer by the second, I can feel my heartbeat accelerating by the second, the skin in my body gets goosebumps, my bones feel stiff, my throat get's dry and my only thought inside is "Go!"

I rush towards them jump towards them and push them towards the river. The cold water instantly penetrated my clothing touching my skin giving me goosebumps and making me gasp for air, mean while Stevan already started to swim to the other side while pulling the kid, meanwhile the kid is perplexed then instantly starts to enter to panick mode, he closes his eyes, sway his hands in the water, kicks and turns, his head is bearly grasping air, "h-hey calm down!" Stevan said anoyingly.

I start to swim towards them and then I realise that I have a shadow over me? I look up and Stevan sudenly turns around and his eyes widen with fear. Before I get the chance to look up I am pushed by a heavy force underwater.

"Gluahg!" was the only incoherent word I made as my head went underwater, I feel the force full weight on my back, as I go deeper my thoughts start to ring out 'I can only squirm underwater to move out of the weight that's pushing me down!', I try to follow my thoughts but, to no vail 'IT'S HOLDING ME DOWN!'

I twist my body and with all my might, stab the dagger at the force that's pushing me down and cling tightly to it. In just a few seconds the force pulls up, And for a brief second I'm suddenly left in the air clinging with force to my dagger and below me is the river. I quickly take a look around and find that Stevan and the kid are out of the river.

I sigh in relief then I get pulled back to the water, this time I felt a forcefull bite on my left arm, the pain took over for a second making me try to grasp for air inside the water. My body immediately rejected the idea; my right arm clentched tightly to the dagger then pulled it out, in that second it let go of my left arm, and I immediately pulled away my arm and started to pull towards the object. When I got to a closer range I immediately stabbed it in the neck, suddenly it started to squirm around going over the water, and down my eyes were shut tight and held tight.

When it stopped moving I took out the dagger and swam toward them. I crawled out of the river cold, shaking, wet, and Red.

"Let's go-o" I stuttering said while walking past them.

Stevan nods silently, tears in the brim of his eyes, with the kid next to him paled-faced.
