Surface tension

You reach out to her before she can surface and grip her hair in your hands, holding her head down. She begins to thrash against your strength and tries to get purchase for her feet and hands on the slippery pool floor. You drop to your knees and wrap your arm around her throat, tightening your grip as you **** her further under water. Her slippery hands slide across your skin as she seeks to do anything she can to fight her suffocation in the alien element. As her thrashing grows even more frantic, you finally release her head, getting to your feet and stepping back. She bursts out of the water, gasping enormously for air. Her soaked hair flies through the air as she rises and the sunlight from the open wall glimmers in the water on her skin, lining her every curve and muscle. Before she can catch her breath, you shove her under again without warning, this time letting her up almost immediately.

"By your baptism here, Ura, I proclaim you my own. Everything about you is mine, and I will, I WILL break you." Your ringing words drown out the sound of her **** breathing. She turns to face you, fire and terror finally showing in her dark eyes. Her soaked body shivers slightly from panic and near-suffocation. 

Again you gesture and she is ducked under the water. This time you hold your hand over the surface of the water, the waves from her frantic thrashing just touching your palm. This time, as Ura tries to surface, she rocks back underwater, as though she had struck a wall. Desperately, she thrusts a hand out and it too turns back at the surface of the water. Her eyes and cheeks bulge underwater and she begins to strike at the water with all her limbs, beating upon the water as though it were a door she cannot open. Bubbles begin to rise from her puffed cheeks and clenched mouth. Her eyes are wide in uncomprehending terror. Absolutely ****, she begins to swim towards where you stand clearly breaking the inexplicably impenetrable surface, her inexperience in the water making it almost a laughable attempt. Finally she makes it to you and grabs your ankle and you release the magic as she climbs up your body, finally emerging after nearly two minutes underwater. Shivering and sobbing for breath, she seems to barely notice that she hangs on to your shoulder for support. Her dripping hair trails around her head into the water, hiding her face. 

Gently lifting her hair from around her face, you gather it in your hand and plunge her one more time into the water, holding her head in place so she can see the air just inches from her nose. Finally you pull her out again, staring down into her sobbing face as she kneels in front of you in the water.
