the experience is different this time.
she's never been in water this cold. she swears she's trying to force her legs to move, but they feel numb like the rest of her. panic claws at her throat along with an instinct to survive. she kicks and she screams until rebekah grabs her arm. and as she does so, rebekah will feel her supernatural strength return to her, little by little. ]
