Leila’s expertise in combat was of no use in the icy river. With her small build, she struggled to overcome the unceasing current.
Sound of dogs barking.
Leila knew that time was running out. The commotion had drawn the attention of the guards, who steadily closed in.

This is a continuation of the story that first started in fiftywords (BLOOD): A Night Swim. We follow our protagonist as she struggles to make it across the river.
This is my submission for the #fiftywords series originally by @miniature-tiger, but has been continued by @jayna while @miniature-tiger is on hiatus from Steemit. It is so titled because the story has to be kept to 50 words. This week's theme is BARK. Check it out!
