The Water Demon

"So? Do you know how to swim?" Devin asked.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded, except for Emy. There's nothing quite like a river where you can swim in the squatter's area. It was also her first time reaching the river.

"You can't swim?" Reed asked.

Emy shook her head shyly. "Maybe it's okay to leave Miss Emy here. It's dangerous for her to go into the water." Jasmin said. She looked at Emy. "I'm sorry, Miss Emy. I'm only thinking about your safety."

Emy smiled and nodded slightly. "I know that." Emy looked at Reed. "I'm fine here."

"I can get you to breathe underwater," Reed said. "It's no longer necessary for you to remain here."

"Well, I can swim with you," Devin said.

"I'm fine. I'll be leaving here." Emy said.

Devin grinned and said, "Well, in that case, you can leave me here."

"I'm not young enough to watch anymore. If you don't want me to be angry with you, go with Reed and Avery." Emy said.
