HIGH TIDE

Still screaming wildly, she tried to climb up my back and onto my shoulders.

My head quickly went under, and I swallowed a mouthful of water. Joy clung to me, struggling, screaming, her weight pushing me farther and farther down.

Desperate for air, I twisted sideways and kicked hard. Joy rolled off my back, still clutching one of my arms. Kicking again, I fought my way to the surface.

My chest ached as I gasped in some air. "Joy, listen to me!" I shouted hoarsely. "Try to calm down! You're okay, but Raina isn't! She needs your help, Joy! / need it!"

Her eyes wild with panic, Joy choked and sputtered and clawed at my arms. Then she began screaming again.

"Joy!" I shouted into her face. "Stop fighting! Help me!"

Joy clung to me, still screaming.

I glanced at Raina, floating so limply, so lifelessly, in the water.

Joy's grip tightened. We started to sink again.

She'll pull us all down, I thought. Do something!

I can't rescue them both, I realized. I have to make a choice.

Decide!

"Joy!" I shouted. "Raina might be dying. I have to get her to shore!"

It's your only choice, I thought. Save Raina. Then get Joy.

"Stay here, Joy!" I screamed. "You're fine. You're not hurt! I'll take Raina in and come back for you!"

With a wordless cry, Joy plunged forward and slung her arms around my neck.
