She can't hear him over the sound of the ocean, over the thoughts churning through her own head.
But she does hear the footsteps at the mouth of the cave -- and the growled query from one of the members Chihuelan search party who has discovered it. There's someone in the cave, and they haven't determined who yet, but they mean to find out as they look between themselves for a proper light.
Here. They're here for her, as she knew they would come. It had been inevitable, only a matter of time; they're coming, coming for her, this time for her . . .
A sound, strangled somewhere between a sob and a shriek, pierces the air, and a hand rises from the water itself, massive and dripping with cold seawater. The Chihuelans barely have time to react before it smashes into them like a tidal wave, pinning them to the rock under its weight.
