Ignoring his own safety, he plunged into the water, frantically searching for the little girl amidst the murky depths.
With adrenaline coursing through his veins, Ryley wasted no time in freeing Rosie from the necklace, his fingers working quickly to snap it until it broke.

As soon as the necklace released its grip on her, Ryley grabbed Rosie and propelled them both towards the surface, his lungs burning for air as they fought against the water.
"C-Climb up! Climb up!" Ryley gasped urgently as they breached the surface, his voice strained with effort. "Run! Get away from here now! Go!"
