EXCERPT
She took a deep breath, and dove in. She pushed her feet off the soft sand on the
bottom, and reemerged, gasping loudly. “I think the water may be a little too
cold!”
“Hmm, I can
tell.” Gabriel's eyes trailed down to
where the thin garment clung to her skin.
“What?”
Alaina gave a quick glance down. “Oh, shit. You know, Gabriel, I really don't
think that now is the best time for
you to be noticing stuff like this. I mean...Gabriel? Gabriel? Are you even
paying attention to me?”
“Don't
move,” he hissed. He shook his head.
“No. I mean, I want you to move, just...very slowly.” Gabriel's skin had paled;
his eyes wide as he stared behind her. “Let me get my sword, and-”
“Sword?
What are you talking about? Is that anti-unicorn thing behind me?” she joked.
“Those
creatures don't live in the water.”
“What is
it?” Alaina asked, her voice trembling.
“It's...”
He swallowed. “Okay, you can't panic, but...there's a sea serpent behind you.”
She broke
out into a fit of giggles. “A sea serpent? This is a lake. Sea serpents
wouldn't live in a lake...would they?” Alaina turned around, and let out a high
pitched scream.
