When the sea was rough was when you found the most interesting things.
However the pale boy, shimmer white under the dark waves was not what she expected to find. It didn't take much to see the debris sinking slowly around him, and a quick dart about showed her no one else but him here, sinking down slowly. She moved back to him, looking into his pale face.
Dead? Maybe. She started away, before realizing she had seen his face too well. It would haunt her dreams if she just left him here to sink.
She reached out, hooking her fingers into the cloth of his shirt and hauling him up. Up to the surface, where the storm was raging, but where she might be able to get air into him.
The current surged across the rocks, no doubt the ones that had crushed his boat (ships? raft?) to pieces. But she knew the currents and eddies, and moved part then, and dragged him behind her to the beach, even relatively calm in this storm, protected by the same rocks that had destroyed his craft.
