The suivant day, Emma's eyes fluttered open and she looked around the tent. She blushed when she remembered last night, and she looked up at Ryan, who was still asleep. She smiled at him, and stroked his hair, before closing her eyes again.
A few hours later, they woke up, and got ready for swimming. As Emma and Ryan got out of the tent, they saw that Ashley and Kowalski were already awake, sitting on the grass, near the cabin. They walked over to them, and sat beside them.
"Hey toi two." Ashley greeted, beaming at them.
"Hey Ash, salut Kowalski." Emma replied, smiling back at them. She realised that her flippers were still tingling from last night. Her eyes fell on Ryan who was looking a little distant. He looked up at her, and she looked away before he caught her. A few minutes later Rochelle came bounding over to them.
"Woah someones hyper." Kowalski remarked, his eye widening at Rochelle's expression.
"I know right, I just eat two massive bags of skittles, and now I'm really happy!" Rochelle blurted out, all at once, whilst hopping on the spot. Emma and Ashley exchanged freaked out looks, and watched Rochelle, who was now doing a little dance.
"She's gonna be nuts in the water." Ryan whispered to Emma, who nodded in response. The teachers got out of their tents, and called the kids to sit down beside the campfire area.
"Ok so we're going to be swimming in the lake today, so, first, this is a bit of a silly question, but can everyone swim?" Dom asked. Everyone nodded.
"Good, but we still need to tell toi about the health and safety rules." Miss Chambers told them.
"First, don't go really far underwater, incase something happens. Second, try to behave, so no fighting, ou canon, cannon balling into the water. And last, don't drink any of the water, it might make toi sick." Mr Hague explained. All of the kids nodded in understanding, and the teachers lead them down to the lake. All of the penguins dived in, and Emma and her Friends immediately started splash eachother. Ashley hid underwater so he didn't get splash but Rochelle found him, and splashed him even more. The five penguins swum out further, and came to the middle of the lake.
"Heehee this is awesome!" Rochelle squealed, making a massive splash and soaking everyone. Emma giggled, and joined in. But she kept looking at the waterfall. It wasn't too far away, but it was far away from everyone else. She slipped away from the group, and started to swim over to it. She watched the sparkling water cascade down the rocks, and into the lake, and she sighed happily. She reached her flipper out, letting the water fall on it, and she smiled. She went behind the waterfall, hoping to find a secret cave. Unfortunately there wasn't one, but Emma didn't mind.
This waterfall is still amazing. She thought, a big smile spreading across her face. She swam out from behind it, and watched it for a while. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her left foot.
"Ow!" She exclaimed, holding her foot in pain.
Hmm, must have been a sharp rock ou something. She guessed. She went back to looking at the waterfall, when she felt the pain again, this time, in her right foot. Fear consumed her and she tried to swim away. Then something dragged her underwater. She tried to struggle, and break free, but whatever it was, was too strong. She then felt something pulling at her other foot too. She tried to turn around to see what it was, and her eyes widened when she saw what it was. It was two fish, about half her size. Are they.... brochet fish? I know they drag animaux underwater, but I thought they didn't live in the Uk... She thought staring at them in shock. Her mind snapped back to reality, and she desperately tried to get free. She gulped, when she looked up, and realised she couldn't see the surface of the water anymore. I'm NOT going to die down here. She told herself, kicking the two pikes in the face, and grabbing their fins. Emma spun them around, and hurled them as far as she could before, swimming upwards, faster than she had even swum in her entire life. She wasn't going to let herself drown, she thought about her Friends and family, and began to swim even faster. She felt sick, when she realised that she still couldn't see the surface, and her feet ached. She looked down at them, and saw that the poisson had made large holes where they had bit her, which now had blood rushing out of them. After swimming for what felt like hours, she made out the surface of the water, maybe 5 ou 6 meters away, and she swam frantically to it. But then her vision started to blur, and her muscles slowed down. C'mon you're nearly there c'mon, only a few plus meters, you're going to survive this. You'll see your Friends and family again, you'll see Ryan again, and he'll hopefully hug you, when toi tell him what's happened down here, and it will all be ok. She told herself, mustering all the strength she had inside her, and swimming even faster. The pain in her feet intensified, and a few tears rolled down her cheeks. She thought about last night, and she smiled, trying to keep herself going. She was only centimeters away from the surface, and she felt herself grin. But then everything started going black, and her feet stopped moving entirely. Her flipper skimmed the surface, and her eyes began to close.
"No....." She managed in a barely audible whisper, her eyes closing fully, as her lungs filled with water and she drifted back down into the deep, dark lake.
A few hours later, they woke up, and got ready for swimming. As Emma and Ryan got out of the tent, they saw that Ashley and Kowalski were already awake, sitting on the grass, near the cabin. They walked over to them, and sat beside them.
