It was supposed to be a relaxing boat trip downstream in a quaint little wooden raft and it did start out just as planned. The sun shone down in a picturesque summer way, the cows in the adjacent fields grazed peacefully and the people in the boat ahead of them weren't disrupting the ambience in the slightest.
All-in-all it was looking to be a perfect date where nothing looked like it could possibly go wrong.
The boat in front met the turn in the river before them, giggling as they ducked under the overhanging willow trees until they abruptly stopped. A few seconds later there was a loud splash as if their boat had been flipped and a spray of red shot through the draping leaves.
They tried to turn their own boat back, iguring that this was someone else's problem and they were already too involved in it all. As one rowed the other kept glancing back, almost expecting the giggling to resume and the other couple to swim out declaring it all a prank.
That did not happen.
Something did swim out though, deep green and licking red from its webbed fingers. Eyes as large as a man's hand were fixed firmly upon them and they knew their best chance was to row close to the shore and make a run for it.
In all fairness they tried their best and it would have worked if the creature wasn't amphibious and highly adept at jumping great distances. They barely made it a few feet in before it pounced on one of them, teeth ripping into a juicy neck as it leapt back into the water to conceal its prey.
It was truly spolt for choice for the next few weeks just with the three.
