Panic overwhelmed Kairi as pain filled entire leg from the merciless bite clamping down on it. She couldn't see what it was, though she knew it was clearly dangerous and predatory. Not just some coral reef fish swimming about, clearly. Her first thought went to shark, since that was typically the first threat of being in the open waters one considered when it came to predatory animals and sharp teeth. Though, at the moment it didn't really concern her<i>what</i>it was, only that it was strong, a lot stronger than herself, and she couldn't get away from it. Adrenaline coursed through her body, causing her blood to pump loudly in her ears as she struggled in the grasp of the creature. Her mind was starting to catch up and realize that she was breathing now, and while she supposed that was a good thing, it only caused the panic to increase as it only ended up further adding to the confusion and distressed chaos of the situation.<br/><br/>At some point, she realized there was another being there mixed up in the chaos with her, and at first she worried it was another predator, though it didn't take long for her to realize they were helping her. Her eyes squinted against the salty water and dark abyss surrounding her in the depths she'd been pulled into, though she couldn't make out much of the being helping her. At first panic swelled in her chest all over again when all she first saw was a blur of dull blue flesh, thinking this being was a shark. But then somewhere in the chaos she made out limbs appearing to be arms, though she didn't question much of anything of what she was seeing, it was dark and she could hardly see a thing in the violent waters of the sea.<br/><br/>Eventually in the midst of the thrashing about, she felt her leg released from the unforgiving grip of the creature's teeth, though her leg overall still felt numb in throbbing pain as she felt an arm wrapping around her body and pulling her up to the surface. Though her head was foggy and still in a daze of chaos and pain, she was coherent enough to be able to grab onto the rock and pull herself up, though her left leg, the one that had been wounded, was just about useless in helping climb atop the rock, but she'd managed. Once assured the man that helped her was also safely atop the rock, she let herself finally start to catch her breath, breathing labored and her face pale in fear.<br/><br/>She had been wearing shorts and a tank top when she dove into the water in attempt to 'save' the man she'd thought been pulled under, though, somehow it seemed he ended up being the one saving her. Her tank top revealed what she always believed to be a unique birthmark on her left shoulder, and her shorts leaving her leg completely unprotected in the attack. Hearing his question, she finally looked down at her limb, her senses slowly started to calm down and come back to her, taking a moment to respond "Y-yeah..." she managed to get out in a shaky breath "I-....what-..." she stammered, at a loss for words of just where exactly to begin "Thank you" she finally decided on starting with first, finally lifting her gaze to her savior, only for her eyes to land on his bloodied shoulder and concern to fall over her "Your shoulder...is it alright?" she asked, hoping it was only a flesh wound and no bones had been damaged "What um.....what was that thing? And you- I though you had fallen in..." she finally started to explain, her brain starting to analyze and realize everything that had just happened as the adrenaline slowly started to leave her body. It was then she remembered breathing underwater, and her eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she re-actively put a hand to her neck, feeling where it felt like she was breathing something solid, something like water....though now having resurfaced and out of the immediate danger and the water, there was no trace of the gills that had appeared there.
