The Most Dangerous Waters, _point____ Rikki
Let me tell you about our travels through the dangerous waters, the creek. The night we snuck away from Nanny McHideous we ran to a creek. We all new she is REALLY afraid of water. (She drinks out of sippy cups when she drinks water.) Weird huh. Well she thinks we are afraid of water. Yeah right. This creek is one of the most intense creek I have eva been in. First of all this creek is really deep and fast moving, really fast. It was waist deep. We all had partners. Except for Carter she was leading us. I had Kailey, Alex had Bailey. Hailey was in the back. As we were going along, all was calm (well, as calm as it gets), Carter went under dramatically. They all screamed as I jumped under to save Carter. Kailey cried and screamed as loud as she could with Alex's comfort. I was running my fingers down the mud at the bottom. I had to get Carter quick, or else my whole body would turn to ice. I wonder why Carter took so long down there? Did she get really hurt or pulled down by something? I stretched out my arms as far as they could go for one last attempt before I took a breath, I found solid fingers and pulled. Fail. I accidentally pulled down Hailey. She got right back up screaming at me. I went back into the freezing water and swam as fast as I could down stream and got up to take in a wisp of air full of intensity and sorrow. But when I came up I finally saw Carter lying on the ground as blue as ever, shivering, eyes closed like she was thinking really hard. I screamed for all the sisters to come. When they got there Carter was still in the same position. Wouldn't speak, wouldn't talk, wouldn't move.
