MARIETTA
Cold… The water was cold.
It took me a couple of seconds to swim to the surface of the river after crashing into it and I took a gasping breath while a loud splash came from somewhere next to me. I looked up after using my hand to wipe my face as I took deep breaths, my heart pounding wildly in my chest, and my eyes widened when I saw someone falling from above. A yelp escaped my lips as the person hit the water with a splash and I fixed my eyes on the spot the person had hit just before the sound of splashing next to me drew my attention, and I saw Crista pushing her hair out of her face. She was also breathing heavily like I was and a couple of seconds later, Mercer also emerged above the surface while two people crashed into the water a couple of metres away from us.
