"I can swim," Spencer protests through ragged breaths, "just not very well." He wraps an arm around his waist and tries to push through the pain as Cosette steadies him, biting down hard on his bottom lip to keep from crying out.
The adrenaline helps, keeps his head above water and, but a quick glance back toward shore tells him just how far out they really are and between this thing in the water and the injuries they're both sure to have already sustained, it's becoming increasingly clear to Spencer that there's not going to be any easy way out of this.
It hardly feels like a moment has passed before Cosette seems to be pulled under again, dragging Spencer down with her, and as he opens his mouth to scream again, the salt water flows down his throat. His eyes widen when he feels something wrapping around him, what he imagines must be the tail end of the creature, and he can't see with the burn of the water but that doesn't matter because his vision would have started to fade anyway as the monsters tightens its hold on him.
