Chapter 12

Yet I didn’t hear her get in the water. Turning slightly, I held my hand to her, making sure not to turn my head. Her fear was potent in the air as if she was unsure of the water or maybe me.

I couldn’t be sure, but I had to hold in my gasp when I felt her tiny hand slide into mine. I grabbed her hand, my claws sliding over her wrist, when I heard a splash before both of her hands suddenly gripped my outstretched arm, and she coughed. Her fingers pull the fur out along my arms, and I turn quickly, using my other arm to wrap around her waist while her legs latch around my hips in a grip that would be crushing if I were human.

She continued to cough and sputter for a second before rubbing her eyes with one hand and opening her eyes. “Are you sure we won’t get in trouble?” She asked, her hands moving to my chest, where she gripped my fur tightly as if she was afraid I would let her drown. I moved further out to where not even I could stand.

“You’re with me. Why would you get in trouble?” I ask her. Abbie says nothing, and I try to unwrap her legs. Her grip on my fur tightens, her nails digging into my skin.

“What are you doing?” She shrieks.

“I won’t let you drown, Abbie,” I tell her, gripping one of her wrists and prying her grip off me. I set her hand on my shoulder, and her other hand moved to grip the other.

“Use your legs, and kick them under the water,” I told her, and after some prompting, she eventually unlatched them from my waist. I swam backward as she moved, her legs treading water.

We lost track of time after an hour or so. It was pitch black, yet she seemed to have fun until I noticed her teeth chatter. I was confident enough that if she fell into a body of water, she would be able to get herself out, though I still wouldn’t trust her to go swimming alone.

Abbie gripped my shoulders as I swam back to the bank. I tried not to laugh at her white legs and ass. She didn’t need to know ! could see her completely because I could see beneath the water before I moved to lift her back onto it when she whispered.
