SHRIEEEK!
Stefan didn't idle, jumping in Claude's direction as the Kraken released him after Stefan's attacks. Stefan spread his arms open, catching Claude securely in his embrace. Holding Claude's head, the two of them fell into the waters.
SPLASH!
Stefan puffed his cheek as he held his breath, checking Claude. The latter was still unconscious; he looked as though he was deep asleep. Stefan covered Claude's ears, allowing the blood from his bleeding palm to swirl around them underwater. The Kraken was still screaming; if continued, it would completely break Claude's eardrums.
After making sure his ability silenced the harsh noise surrounding Claude, Stefan carried him to the surface. He didn't know what the dangers were on the surface, but it was better than staying underwater.
As soon as Stefan resurfaced from underwater, he gasped for air. He turned his head to Claude on instinct, shaking him slightly.
