After leaving the sunny hill, Hallow searched for a cool place to swim. The day was warm, and she was getting uncomfortably warm. Her golden/orange eyes scanned for signs of water, and her sensitive nose sniffed the air. Suddenly, her ears perked up. There was an unmistakable scent of water in the air. She trotted briskly past a large tree, and stopped at the sight of a huge, clear lake. Without even pausing to take a look around her, she dashed into the water and soaked herself thoroughly, grinning happily and relishing the cool wetness against her skin.

A flame-colored head popped up further out in the water, their back was turned to Hallow, and they were swimming from the surface to the lake bed. A moment later the head dissapeared again beneath the water.

Hallow caught sight of another dog swimming ahead of her. Curious, she paddled over to investigate, but the dog had already disappeared under the water again. Taking a breath, she submerged herself entirely, looking around underwater for the other dog. She could see no sign of him, so went above the surface again. She swam into deeper waters, splashing and enjoying the water, and keeping an eye out for the other dog.

Luna walked to the edge of the lake, looking fearfully intpo the water. She felt lost in her mind, she took a step back, the last thing she wanted to do, was fall in. She saw another dog in the water and smiled very briefly, but then turned her attention to the water again, where she carefully approached it and diipped in her maw, slowly drinking.

Hallow turned and saw a white dog drinking at the edge of the lake. She grinned to herself- she was feeling rather playful today.... Quietly, she slipped under the water, and swam to edge of the lake. She was in shallower water now, and the white dog still couldn't see her. Hallow approached a little more, and then leapt out of the water, shouting "BOO!"

Luna had not noticed the other dog come near, and jumped in fright, causing her to slip into the lake, she thrashed around, in desperate attempt to surface. But it was no use, she couldn't swim, it had only been a few seconds, she wondered if the other dog noticed that she couldn't swim, that she was drowning. Bubbles, flurried from her maw, swirling to te surface, she turned to see herself sinking into darkness. She kept thrashing. Then, the thrashing stopped, and the bubbles, did not rise, and she fell unconcious , lips going blue, sinking....

The white dog leapt up and fell into the water. Hallow grinned and chuckeld a bit- the joke had worked very well. The dog slipped underneath the surface of the water. Hallow kept smiling, thinking it was part of "the game" when suddenly she realized that the thrashing had stopped- and no more bubbles were rising to the surface of the water. Without wasting a moment of time, she dove under the water, searching for the dog. Her long, powerful legs stroked the water, quickly taking her to the spot the dog had gone under. She rose to the surface, took a deep breath, and went under again. The water was not deep- in a moment her paw encountered the body of the dog. She gently gripped the dog's fur in her powerful jaws, and began to stroke upwards towards the surface again. It was hard work- it was not a far distance, but the dog was heavy, and she was running out of breath. It seemed hopeless- air was rushing out of her mouth, and water was filling it...her limbs seemed filled with lead.... Suddenly her head broke the surface of the water, and she took a deep, life-giving breath of air. Her legs suddenly regained some strength, and she managed to pull the other dog onto the shore. She was tired, but that would have to wait. The white dog, a female by the looks of her, was still and limp. Breathing- but unconcious. There was nothing to do but wait until she regained conciousness. Hallow collapsed on the grass, resting but keeping her eyes on the white dog, waiting for her to wake up.

Luna started to come round, her head hurt, and she was cold. She shivered a bit, and coughed. Her eyes opened slightly, "uhg..." she murmered, coughing again. She rose her head, panting, looking around with blurred vision.

The white dog slowly opened her eyes and moaned. She seemed to be cold. Hallow moved closer to her. "I'm so sorry," she said anxiously. "It was only a joke- I didn't know you couldn't swim".

"Don't-worry!" she panted, couging up some water "I should've-said-something" she panted, getting up. She shook the water off her coat and smiled weakly. She circled her shoulders in attempt to warm up. And she basked in the sun.

Hallow sat next to the white dog for a few moments in the sun, but began to get restless. She fidgeted for a couple of minutes, then turned to the white dog and said "I'm sorry, but I'm really feeling restless. If you are ok here, would you mind if I left to do some more exploring?"

"sure, go ahead." she tilted her head back and basked some more.She would probably get bored and go exploring again soon.

Hallow stood and nodded briefly to the white dog, then wandered away.
