AJ squinted in pain. He
could feel the shark starting to sink his teeth even deeper into his leg. His lungs began to burn, and spots danced in
front of his eyes. Finally, all the
pain, and lack of oxygen caught up to him, and the darkness engulfed him.

Nick couldn’t take it anymore, and though his body was aching and
killing him, he ignored every sign and jumped in.
“NICKY!” Howie screamed.
Not wanting to risk anymore lives, Howie decided to paddle instead of
swim. He kept concentrating on the spot
where AJ went under, that’s when he saw the second fin.
“Oh my God!” Brian saw the fin too. It was heading towards the spot where the
shark was.
“Nicky get out of the water!
There’s another one!” Howie screamed at Nick. Instead of quickly swimming to the raft, he
kept swimming to the spot.
“Nick, what are you doing?” Brian shouted. Nick didn’t respond, but kept swimming.

The body stopped and concentrated on the shark that was making its
move to take another bite out of the unconscious human. Gaining speed, the body plowed into the
shark, knocking him away from the man.
The shark quickly swam away, knowing not to deal with this thing
again as he had done before. The owner
of the second fin dove down and gently grabbed the mans arm, pulling him to the
surface. He had seen the man’s friend
swimming towards them.
As the other human came closer, the dolphin nudged the limp body
towards him and quickly swam away,
knowing that he could always help them out again.

They all pulled AJ into the raft.
His life still wasn’t out of danger.
Though the dolphin had saved him, the rest was up to them.
“He’s not breathing.”
