"Ahhhhhh!"
Emira screamed as icy water closed over her skin, shocking her senses awake.
The cold hit like a thousand tiny needles, stealing her breath before she could even think and instinct took over. She tried to push herself out of the water, arms flailing, legs kicking against the porcelain sides of the tub. But a firm hand pressed down on her head, keeping her from rising.
"Stop struggling," a deep voice ordered and she froze for a moment before struggling in a panic. Where was she? And why was she being pushed into the water? Did they plan to drown her?
"Let me go!" she gasped, struggling and splashing again. Water splashed out everywhere but the hand on her head remained unshakable. Then, before she could think of anything else, the pressure on her head increased and she was dunked under the water, before being pulled out, gasping for breath.
Emira took deep breaths and tried to calm her mind when the voice spoke again," Emira. Enough."
