Hi everyone I am home from work and I am honestly too restless to sleep so time for fanfiction to escape from the real world for a bit.
Cal immediately felt the cold hit his entire body but he didn't let it stop him. He dove under the water too look for his brother. It was too dark but Cal managed to feel his brothers arm and pull it with one hand while his other hand grabbed Ethan's side and Cal lifted him up to air.
Ethan coughed and spluttered as Cal lifted his head out of the water.
"You okay?" Cal asked breathlessly. Ethan nodded in reply.
Where's the little boy?" Ethan asked still coughing.
"He's up the top, he's fine. Let's worry about getting us out now. Can you grab the rope and climb up?"
"I don't think so, I hurt my leg when I fell, think it might be badly sprained." Ethan replied.
Before Cal could think about it. Iain threw down another long piece of rope.
"Cal! Tie Ethan to this and you can climb up on the other rope." Iain said, sounding as calmly as he could, he must of heard Ethan say he hurt his leg. Cal looked up, nodded and followed the instructions. As Ethan was being lifted up out of the water, Cal did a bit of rock climbing with his feet on the walls and hands on the rope.
Once at the top Cal and Dixie picked Ethan up who was on his hands and knees, coughing up water. They supported Ethan to the back of the ambulance. Ethan had quite a bad limp but he could still walk, just about. Once they got to the ambulance Ethan was sat down with his bad leg stretched out with a blanket round him.
"You had me worried there, Nibbles." Cal said to his brother after looking around making sure no one heard him be all concerned.
"Another day at the office." Ethan chuckled. "The boy?"
"He's been taken to the ED which is where we are going now." Iain cut in with a smile.
"Cal you need to get checked out as well." Iain looked at Cal.
"I'm fine"
"You probably are but you could have mild hypothermia and if you don't feel it now, you'll probably feel it later when the adrenaline wears off." Cal started to shiver.
Cal nodded then helped Ethan get in the ambulance.
So I added a bit of hero Cal as well as hero Ethan. Thought he should get a bit of credit too since Ethan has been the protagonist in all my stories hehe.
I don't know if I should leave this story here as this was my idea for chapter three so chapter four is a bit of a yes/no kind of option. If I did do a chapter four it would probably be Ethan reuniting with the little boy he saved, not sure.
We shall see!
