"Ah!" The sensation of falling sent a scream tearing through my throat.
"Felicia!" I heard someone call out. It had to be Conrad because Ernest only ever calls me Licia.
Then came a splash, and for a moment, I thought I had hit the water.
But I wasn't wet; instead, the sound of thrashing water filled my ears.
Opening my eyes, I realized I was still hanging above, but Conrad had plunged into the water, wrestling with an alligator.
So, in that instant of danger, Conrad had thrown caution to the wind to save me, while Ernest had not.
My heart, already cold, felt another layer of ice form over it.
Brown had mentioned his alligators hadn't been fed in days, making them more aggressive. Watching Conrad struggle desperately against them, I was terrified and tears streamed down my face.
But I was powerless, my only actions were cursing at Brown and shouting for Conrad, "Conrad, Conrad..."
"See, girl, now you know who really loves you," Brown jeered, watching the scene unfold with amusement.
"Brown, let him go! I know who put you up to this. Tell them if anything happens to Conrad, I'll be the next one feeding those alligators," I roared.
Brown paused, his laughter stopping, but he made no move to intervene.
Ernest just stood there, motionless. Desperate, I turned to him, "Ernest, please, save Conrad. Do it now."
Brown mocked again, "If he goes in, he'll just end up another meal. Seems like you prefer the company of those in the water."
At this point, his provocation didn't matter.
