Totoka River Say Geronimo

The small girl's ears twitched as they swam. It was a wierd feeling, floating in liquid. Yet she was living it, a determined light in her wide eyes. They were almost halfway across and besides her going down once, it was going well. Her thick fur wasn't enough to stop the coldness, but she didn't mind as her long legs swept through the water. Wanting to giggle again, she withheld, her breath coming faster. She paddled faster, excitement racing through her veins. 
One minute, it was calm. The next, the temptress threw a strong current in their path, and she gasped softly as it swept her towards her friend. Slamming into her, she winced and tried to stay afloat.
