...Sebastian POV…
It is in horror that I see Kati disappear under the water, my entire being comes to an end, and I almost stop breathing as pure panic sets in. In a fraction of a section, I dive underneath and catch her just as she is about to hit the bottom. I rush to the surface and pull her lifeless body from out the freezing water. There is a suffocating silence that sets over the valley as I furiously try to find the faintest touch of a pulse beating against my fingertips.
I cannot understand what happened; she was swimming fine, then in an instant, she was sinking. She was not overpowered by the current, and it was not even so deep where we were standing. Something must have happened. But I cannot worry about that now; I need to find a pulse; the last thing I want to do now is leave her here alone by herself while I go to phone an ambulance.
