He found himself with one foot in the swamp, picking up the girl. His legs buckled slightly under her weight and he wished he was stronger. She seemed to be breathing. "Miss. Miss! Can. You. Hear. Me?" He spoke each word slowly, but loudly. Perhaps he should shake her a bit?
Trina groaned and tried to take in a breath, but found it was harder than she initially thought. However, her body needed the oxygen. She tried again and succeeded, trying to get enough breath in order to try and stand up.
Suddenly, her body was leaving the ground. She gasped in surprise, but felt arms under her and she looked up at the person holding her. "Yes... yes, I can hear you," she said wincing and resisting the urge to put her hands over her ears. He didn't have to speak so loudly.
"What happened?" she asked, doing her best to get more oxygen into her lungs. "I think you can put me down..." she said, glancing down on the floor. "Or... at least on a ledge," she said, not sure if she could hold herself up yet. Her legs felt a bit shaky.
