"Y-yang... help me get out," she groggily slurred, between exhausted gasps. On one leg was a long, black mark with missing fur and torn flesh.
"It'll be okay, Maple..." Yang murmured, trying to figure out how to get Maple out. Then she saw the rising water. "Wait just a second..." she said, jumping in. As the water began to touch Maple's knees, Yang went under and pushed from below. Her lungs ready to burst, Yang kicked her legs faster as she slid herself and Maple to the edge of the trench. "Climb!" she gasped, sticking her nose above water to breathe.
