*WARNING: This contains a graphic description of drowning. If this is triggering please don't read. Thank you.*
The feeling of drowning is so peculiar. So terrifying but peaceful at the same time. It burns your lungs like alcohol. I rest as the water consumes me. And though every fiber of my being tells me to struggle against it, I don't.
My whole body aches.
This is how things need to be.
"Catra!" A muffled voice calls. It can't be real. Who would come looking for me?
I squeeze my eyes shut and wait it out. I feel reality start to fade away and it feels like I'm losing my grip on staying alive. Slowly, but surly I am shutting down, once and for all.
And then I hear something breaking through the water; a huge splash. I open my eyes to find a blurry figure moving towards me.
It moves at such a fast rate, even if I wanted to swim away, I don't think I could.
I feel it grab me and I try to struggle out of its grasp, but its grip is too tight.
Well, this is a much less peaceful death then I had planned.
I feel my brain start to get fuzzy. Black dots blur my vision.
This is it.
The world goes dark. My heart stops.
And then it starts back up again.
A pair of familiar lips, that taste like Cherry Chapstick collide with my own; breathing air into my lungs.
I feel so cold and my whole-body hurts. I sit up and groan.
"I'm not dead, am I?" And with those words I hunch over and cough up enough water to fill a kiddie pool.
"Catra! I'm so glad that you are okay! You scared the hell out of me!" Adora's voice fills my ears and she engulfs me into a huge hug.
Yup, defidently not dead.
