Prologue

Rain poured down from the sky pelting hard against his dark skin. He continuously wiped at his eyes trying desperately to see through the thick curtain of rain that was blurring his vision. He called out her name repeatedly, it echoing in the distance as he inwardly prayed that she would respond. When nothing but the wind answered his call he held his breath before diving into the rampant depths of the river.

He clutched the sides of the boat as it rocked back and forth viciously, water splashing over the sides and soaking his running shoes. His eyes were closed tightly as he tried to keep himself from being thrown overboard into the icy blue water. The sounds of the rain, wind and calls of her name blended together as Reid tried to keep this moment from being etched into his mind forever. He didn't even open his eyes when he heard Morgan jump into the raging water but instead held on tighter.

She gasped for air when her head bobbed above the surface before she was quickly pulled under again. She tried to swim but the current continued to sweep her under the water. She kicked her feet with all the force she had left in her slowly making her way towards the surface again. Roots from a fallen tree held her under, her shirt catching on a branch. She struggled to get free as her lungs slowly began to fill with water.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter but it is just the prologue, future chapters will be longer. Tell me what you think so I know whether or not I should continue. This will probably end up being about six or seven chapters. Thanks for reading…. Please review :)
