Astrid's head whipped around at the sound of barking. Shit. A girl was standing with her gun leveled at her, dog at her side. Freezing instantly Astrid sunk in the water slightly so her eyes were barely above the water. Her hardened gaze fixed upon the girl. Keeping silent she listened to her talk all the while never losing concentration on her. How had she managed to sneak up on her so easily? The day was fairly calm, and the ocean was not making too much noise. Mentalling she hit herself for not paying better attention to her surroundings, her mind quickly ran through the worst possibilities. Raiders probably. And with that .22 pointed at her head there wasn't much she was going to be able to do. 

As the woman requested for her to get out of the water Astrid began to scan the surroundings. Was she traveling alone or did she have a traveling companion that was keeping watch. Determining that she was alone for the moment Astrid's eyes snapped back to the woman. Slowly she grabbed onto the cold and slimy railing on the yacht and began to climb. The second her body left the water a cold breeze hit her raising goose bumps along her arms. She clenched her jaw to keep from shivering and sent up a silent thank you that her attacker was a woman. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to be robbed by a man while half-naked.

Finally out of the water, Astrid moved to stand on the dock. Drips of water fell from her body, soaking into the old wood of the dock. When she was a safe distance away she stopped moving and looked at the woman with her arms crossed. Throughout the entire time her eyes had been locked hard into her, her gaze sharp and angry. Without saying a word she continued to stare at her, trying to keep up a hard facade. Inside she was terrified and freezing. She was about to be shot and robbed while soaking wet and in her underwear. At least if that was going to happen she was going to go out with a hard resolve.
