Chapter two: Very bad news
Hazel's POV:
Hazel watched Sawyer as he sat down on the concreate floor. Sawyer called out for Winter, using his tweety-bird whistle. "Winter…" Sawyer says softly. Winter immediately pops out of the water, making a small splash, and greets him by bumping his hand softly with her rostrum. Sawyer smiles at Winter. A smile too cute. Stop it Hazel! Stop saying that! We're not like that! Hazel stands up, breathes air deeply, and walks toward Sawyer. She just nervous talking to Sawyer. She's nervous talking to Sawyer about bad news. Really? Sawyer smiles at Winter again, "I missed you so much Winter." Sawyer says softly. Hazel sits down next to him on the floor. Winter squeals softly. He doesn't know. "Hey." Sawyer greets Hazel. "Hey and I just want to tell you some news and updates about Winter's condition." Hazel says sadly. I told him, no backing now. "What type of news?" Sawyer asked curiously.
"Um…" Hazel bit her lip.
"Um, what?"
"Bad."
"Why bad?" The brown haired boy asked her, and looked at her. Hazel blushed. Don't do that in front of him! That's stupid! 'Uh, yeah. It's bad. Winter seems okay now, but she was refusing some of her buckets earlier. She even threw up, and of course that usually never happens to a dolphin, even Hope whines a lot. She comes to me, and whines. She swims around Winter's gate, every day." Hazel said sadly. Sawyer's face dropped. "Winter did that when Panama was like that too. Either that means Winter is dying or possibly be sick. Did you tell Clay?" Sawyer asked anxiously and. "Ye…yeah I told my dad. He said he'll run some tests later on Winter." Hazel stuttered. "I'll go gate her then." Sawyer tells Hazel, and Hazel just nods. Hazel watches Sawyer walk away. After he changed, he comes out in his wetsuit.
Sawyer's POV:
After he changes, Sawyer steps and goes in the water, slightly cold in the main pool. He dips his head underwater, and swims to get Winter. Sawyer floated up, his hair wet and soaking. Winter floats there peacefully in the water, floating vertically. Winter blew her blowhole. Sawyer thought it was strange for Winter to be doing that, or seems she is sleeping vertically up… Winter's tail stub swishes in the water swiftly. Sawyer notices Hazel staring at him, she blushes bright pink and looks away. Sawyer smiles at her blushed face. That's cute. No, wait, he's just friends! Sawyer wanted to slap himself, but he didn't. He turned to Winter, "Hey Winter, let's get you gated. You need rest, don't you?" Sawyer said softly to Winter. Winter just tweeted back weakly. Just as Sawyer put his hand on Winter's dorsal fin, Winter's eyes droop a little. "Wint-!" Sawyer says but gets interrupted. Winter starts to sink, and starts going underwater. Hazel gasps, "Sawyer! Winter!" Hazel gets up and runs panicking to her dad's office. Sawyer goes underwater, surrounded by bubbles. Sawyer attempts to drag Winter back up, but it's impossible to lift Winter back up since she is quite a couple of hundred pounds. Sawyer could hear two pairs of running feet, "Dad…! Dad! Sawyer got dragged down with Winter, and Winter isn't swimming or floating! There both going to drown!" Hazel says too fast, but Clay catches it. "Okay Hazel, calm down. You do know Winter can breathe underwater, right?" Hazel blushes and her breath stops pacing. "Sorry, I was in a rush and panicking. But what about Sawyer?!" Clay rolls his eyes. "Get the blue mat please, Hazel!" Clay commanded her. Hazel ran to the shelf, even though it was just behind her. She tossed Winter's favorite blue mat to her father. Clay catches it and gets a grip on the blue mat. "Phoebe! Hurry please!" Clay shouted. In a split second, the dark haired woman appeared. "Get Sawyer please, I got to get the nets and divers." Clay told her. Phoebe nodded and obeyed. Hazel taps her fingers repetitively on the wall. Phoebe dives in the water, swims toward Sawyer and Hazel. She sees Sawyer, he looked like he needed air, and was struggling to pull Winter back up. She shoves a floating tube in Sawyer's hand. Sawyer didn't want to leave Winter, even though he was running out of breath and the water pressure was on him. I don't want to leave Winter to die! Phoebe pulled him away from Winter, and Sawyer yells something but it's barely audible in the water.
Once they reached the surface, Phoebe breathed for air and brought Sawyer on the concreate floor. Sawyer stayed on the floor, coughing out the water he exhaled. Hazel crouches down and puts her hand on his back, "You okay?" Hazel asked. Sawyer got up and sat down. "Yeah I'm fine. What about Winter, Phoebe? Don't leave her to die!" Sawyer snapped. Sawyer stood up. Phoebe sighed. "She's going to be alright, Sawyer. They're going to get her. Clay said he wants to talk to both of you in his office."
CLIFFHANGER! Sorry if this one is short, if you wanted it to be longer, leave a suggestion! Please leave a review! (: Anyway I hoped you enjoyed and yes it is possible for a dolphin to drown and become sick, by the way ;) And if you're asking why Sawyer didn't want to leave Winter down in the pool, why would he? :)
