The water dragged on her body as Rosalie spun to see where the touch had come from, sucking in a mouthful of water before she realized what had happened. Pressing both hands over her mouth and nose to prevent any other breaths as the water in her lungs burned, Rosalie pushed herself up from the ground, not caring about Nick or the other girl or even getting out, just wanting to clear her chest. The water pushed at her as she rose through the water without breath in what seemed like the most excruciatingly slow, painful journey of her life.
Her head finally breached the surface and she began to hack up the water, breathing in sweet stabbing mouthfuls of air in between the involuntary retching and coughs. When she could once again breath evenly, she looked around at last and swam over to where Nick had gone after hopefully being tagged. "Were you alright?" Turning her head, she coughed a couple more times, trying to expel the remaining water.
