Enter BIG FISH! I read an article on Wels Catfish - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wels_catfish - those guys are scary. Let's assume that we have something like this here as well.
Nunataq was busy clearing out her airways and because of this she was not paying close attention to Arlette. What she was made aware of (and with quite a start) was the loud yelp, the mad rush to the shore and then standing there, looking as if she had seen a ghost. Naturally, creatures of spectral or supernatural kind did not come to Nuna's mind, as she scrutinized her friend's face with a furrowed brow. She was taking a more rational approach to the problem. 1. Was it dangerous? 2. Should I be worried?
Nuna did not get those answers from Arlette, but someone else had the manners to reply. Because suddenly she too felt something big and substantial brush against her hind-quarters, a moment later, poke her gently in the chest and then make a huge splash a little distance away. She was too surprised to feel fear right away. She remained, where she was, with her gaze scanning the surface of the water thoroughly.
And there it was - the dark form, which was a massive snake-like fish. Nunataq stared at it with wide eyes, leaned down to have a sniff at it, when all of a sudden it lunged and the mute girl was in a frenzy to get out and away from the place. She managed, but for a long time she said nothing (pun intended), appeared to be just as startled as her albino friend was. Finally, when she had collected herself, she cast a glance at Arlette. Was it crazy or what?!
Up until today the lake had been the last place, where Nunataq had expected danger to come from.
