` ✦ ° — THE RAINS DOWN IN AFRICA / DROWNING

[rhosmari]

Rain, rain, for days now it had just been rain and it wasn't safe for anyone anymore. No one was going to have a easy time with this rain and the river was making itself more and more known. They had taken advantage of it and thought it was docile but the river was now showing it's power. Even as the cry rang out for help the woman was moving, shifting her thick muscular body through the boggy ground that had become soaked and well muddied. Her paws sunk deep into it and she struggled to lift herself from the viscous ground, huffing as she yanked herself forward. Whoever it was they needed help and they needed it fast. As she saw the rushing river she looked around for whom had yelled but she couldn't see for the sheeting rain. Yet, it was fine because a second outcry had her hauling her butt into the waters. She had a chance to save a life here and she was going to take it. Huffing against the force of nature as waves pushed against her large form the woman swam.

Her eyes focused on the limb that held a form, one that was cowering against it and struggling to hold on. "Hold on! I'm coming!" She called out as she pushed against the waves of opaque liquid that threatened to take her under. As she swam forward she held her breath as a large wave washed over hear head, submerging her for a moment before she resurface and gasped, paws flailing for a moment before she caught her barring. Why was this so much easier before? Maybe because she had fins then and gills for that matter. But no other choice she had and as she came closer to the branch she dug her claws against whatever solid ground was below her before she huffed against the water's torrent. "Get on my back! I'll get you to safety!"
