"Oh shit, Gwen! Reach for my hand!"
Jack was panicking; Gwen was flailing around in the murky dark depths of the bay.
She didn't stand a chance; one minute they had a weevil surrounded, the next it was charging in her direction, pulling Gwen with it.
Ianto had a shot, "Gwen! Move out of the way!" he shouted, not wanting to accidentally hit her instead. She twisted in its arms, trying to keep it away from her shoulder and neck.
Ianto took his shot, hitting the weevil square in the shoulder. It howled out in pain, and grappled with Gwen, seizing her again in its grip as they both fell into the water of the bay behind them.
Jack and Ianto rushed to the edge, shouting to Gwen.
"Oh shit, Gwen! Reach for my hand!" Jack yelled as he saw Gwen's head disappear below the water before she resurfaced moments later, coughing and spluttering as the weevil wouldn't relinquish its grip on her leg as it sank underneath her.
She was kicking her legs out, gasping, "Jack... h help me..." Jack looked at Ianto for a split second before he jumped into the icy water after her. He swam to her as fast as he could, and wrapped strong arms around her waist, lifting her to his body, trying to keep her head above water. He felt the tugging of her body as the weevil still struggled, refusing to let go of her. Jack let Gwen go and dived under the water, trying to punch the weevil off her.
He opened his eyes under the water, trying to see where the weevil still gripped her. The weevil was dead now, expressionless and acting as a dead weight; teeth clamped tightly in death around Gwen's thigh.
Jack could see her blood mixing with the water. He had to resurface for more breath.
As he surfaced, Gwen dipped under again and Jack once more submerged himself. He looked for her under the water, and then he saw her. Her eyes were open, glassy, staring at nothing and everything at the same time.
Her lips were slightly parted, hair swirling around her head and face like a dark halo. She was gone. No more blood flowing from her wounds. Jack let out a desperate scream under the water, pulling Gwen to him. Cradling her head to his. She was still slowly being pulled down. Jack held her to him, his lips kissing her forehead, tears mingling with the water as the surface got further and further away.
He could feel the urge to breathe building but he ignored it. He would stay with Gwen, he didn't want to be anywhere else, and as his vision darkened and water began to fill his lungs, he swore he could hear her voice.
"Jack..."
He took a deep gasping breath, shooting forwards from his place on the ground. He looked around, completely confused and disorientated. He heard her voice again, "Jack... your ok... shhh..."
Jack twisted around so quickly a wave of dizziness hit him full force. Gwen's hands were on his shoulders, pulling him to her. "Shh... Jack, your back, it's ok... just breathe a minute. It's ok." She smiled at him as he calmed down and sat up next to her, his hands still gripping hers tightly.
"Gwen, are you ok?" he asked as his hands ran over her face, his dream returning to him in flashes.
"Jack, I'm fine. Anyone would think I had just died!" she said, swatting him on the arm slightly before helping him up off the ground.
He smiled and held his arm out to her which she took and leant into him slightly.
"Not on my watch Gwen, not on my watch."
