The Trident (2)
'W-What the?! Did I overestimate myself?!'
Xenia's eyes widened as she felt her lungs retch and heave through her closed mouth, the gesture making pain shoot through her chest as she felt her arms flail around through the water.
'This is bad! How far is the surface?!'
Looking up to what would hopefully be her savior, her hopes were dashed when she noticed just how deep she was underwater.
'The sun's barely even reaching me right now!' she inwardly despaired. 'How am I supposed to breathe here?!'
With her lack of breath came panic. The fact that she had nowhere else to go other than up was starting to get to her.
'What am I going to do?! I can't die here!'
Thinking on her toes, Xenia rapidly looked through her surroundings, hoping that she would spot something that would possibly save her from the error she just did.
'Why in the world did I even think that I'd be able to hold my breath this long?!'
