I tried to scream and was met with a mouthful of water, causing me to sputter in protest. “Zoe,” choked Gus. “Stop fighting me!” The sound of his human voice, be it rough from choking on water, startled me. “Gus?” I asked with desperation. “Ya,” he choked out. I let my body go slack, no longer fighting his touch. “We need to get out of this water,” he breathed against my face. I could hear his teeth clattering together. I hadn’t been aware that he had pulled me to shore until my feet hit the bottom. Soon, we were lying in the muck of the bank catching our breath. He held me to him for warmth. “We need to get our wet clothes off and find shelter, darlin’.” “’Kay.” It was hard to talk through the cold that had seeped into my bones. Gus was already shedding his first layer of clothes.
