We plunged into the cold water and was tossed around by the strong current. I let go of Dante as I was unable to withstand the thrashing. I flailed around in the water trying to swim to the surface.
Our heads both broke the surface of the water at the same time. I coughed out water still trying to stay afloat. My eye caught a large log that was wedged between two rocks. I grabbed onto it, expecting to use it to climb out of the currents.
Instead it broke free from the rocks and traveled with me. I scowled at it, "Useless log..."
Oh well. I've always wanted to go white water rafting.
I climbed on top of it and used another branch as an oar. I scanned the current and saw Dante's head bobbing up and down with a very angry scowl.
I waved at him, "I will save you!"
I used the oar to speed up and he grabbed onto the log. He glared at me. "Why didn't you let me kill the bear."
"It's not okay to kill a defenseless animal." I said as a matter of fact.
