Hey everyone. This is a quick story in response to this prompt. Alseya gets into trouble whilst swimming. I am really looking forward to the next prompt which will involve Celeste and her friend Shadow, who is a terrible flirt :D
I sat on the edge of the pool and watched as Alseya splashed around. It looked like she was having the time of her life. I considered it a miracle that between us we had been able to teach her this vital life skill. To be honest I'm not a strong swimmer myself and if I joined her in the water I would only be in her way.
She was doing front strokes like a pro and I felt immensely proud of my little sis. For a split second I turned to comment on how well she was doing to the boys when I heard a piercing cry that made my chest drop. I whipped my head round and my eyes went wide as I saw Alseya's head disappear under the deep, dark waves.
Without hesitation I dived in. I still had my everyday hoodie and jeggings on. Until that moment I had not planned on entering the water…
Once under the waves I saw her clearly; my powers meant my eyes did not become blurry like humans do. I used all of my strength to reach her and then I kicked the bottom of the pool to propel us both up.
As we burst through the surface I gasped for air. The lifeguard seemed to appear from nowhere and pulled Alseya away from me. Sam was by my side and he held me back from trying to grab Alseya once again.
We floated and I watched in horror as the lifeguard began pumping her chest. He then started to do mouth to mouth. If only I could get to her I would be able to use my powers to restore her. I wouldn't care that all of these people had their eyes locked on her, I would be willing to expose my powers in order to save her life.
At one point I buried my head against Sam's chest as he swam with me over to the grimy ladder. I thought we had lost her. But then I noticed her cough and water gushed from her mouth. As she choked and the lifeguard patted her back I ran to her.
'Alseya, thank God you're alright!'
I squeezed her hand that trembled as towels were thrown and bundled around her.
'What happened?' her voice was faint against the clapping crowd.
'You went under the water, somehow you got dragged into the deep end… I'm so sorry I should have been keeping an eye on you,' my voice quivered.
'It's not your fault. It was mine,' her voice was hardly a whisper.
'No. It was an accident,' I insisted.
'Well I think that's enough for excitement for one day. Once Sam and I have filled out some forms why don't we go home?' Dean suggested as I contemplated his face, it was lily white though his tone was upbeat.
'Sounds good to me, Alseya?' I asked as she nodded her head.
'No more swimming for me. Well, at least for a little while.'
