Chapter 43 Trauma

• SCARLET’S POV
• I was going under. Not only drowning, but choking and gasping for air that wasn't there. The cold water was pushing in on all sides, pulling me down deeper and deeper. The weight of it made it hard to breathe because it was crushing my chest.
• All of my limbs feel heavy and useless. I couldn't move or fight back with my body. My heart pounded in my ears, and I had trouble seeing as I fell deeper into the darkness, which swallowed me whole. When I tried to scream, the water in my mouth stopped me. My chest shook with fear, but it was too late. I couldn't get away.
