Okay here it is! Enjoy!

Chapter Fifteen

Sal sat up and looked around. They had landed in the shallow end of the lake and the water only came up to their knees. He saw Helga and Godric not too far away. Helga was sitting on a rock up on shore, wringing lake water out of her hair, and Godric was on his hands and knees, coughing up water. Salazar looked down at his locket, which was just as wet as the rest of him (obviously.) He cast a quick drying spell on it so it wouldn’t rust.

Godric sat up, through with coughing up water. He saw Salazar looking at him. He smiled and waved, and looking around, saw Helga but not Rowena. “Wait. Where’s Ro?” he said, panic waiting to spring upon him. “Ro?” He stood up, and saw a dark shape under the water, some five feet from him. “Rowena!” He started splashing towards the spot.

Salazar followed him. “Oh no, there she is, quick, we have to get her out of the water.” Together, he and Godric lifted Rowena out of the water and onto shore.

Helga jumped up and joined them. “She’s unconscious!“ She knelt beside her best friend and shook her shoulders. “Come on, Rowena, wake up! Ro!” When Rowena did not wake, she began to cry. “No, no, Rowena! ROWENA!!” One of her tears fell on Rowena’s hand.

Rowena stirred slightly, and opened her eyes. Blinking them drowsily, she looked up at the three people staring down at her with the utmost concern on their faces. “What?” she demanded. “What is it, what’s happened?”

“Ro, are you okay?” asked Salazar worriedly. “We jumped into the lake, remember, and then you wouldn’t wake up.”

“What? Lake? What lake?” said Rowena. She looked over, saw the lake, and jumped up and scurried to the other side of the shoreline, to where it touched the grass, as fast as she could. “Ew! I was in there again?” she screeched. Then she gained control of herself. “Sorry…where’s my tiara?” She looked around.

Helga flew at her and hugged her tight. “Ro! You’re okay! Oh yeah, here’s the diadem.” She handed it to her, and they both giggled.

The foursome made their way up to the castle to discuss building plans.
