***LUCIEN POV***
“Lucien lets go”Sylvia says, trying to get me out of the water but I refuse.
I continue to push deeper into the water, the sensation of the cool stream making me excited. "C'mon, Lucien, let's go back," Sylvia's voice calls out.
I chuckle, refusing to listen to her. "I'm not going anywhere," I reply, laughing. We were playing hide and seek with Lucas and Liam but we had abandoned them to come swim.
Sylvia's protests "Lucien, no one swims that far, come on," she continues saying, her tone wavering between worry and exasperation.
Still, I choose to disregard her words, the thrill of rebelling and the rush of adrenaline coursing through me as I plunge deeper.
But then it happens and suddenly I find myself sinking. Panic grips me, my arms flailing as I struggle again
