"Stand thou in the shallows child," the voice chimed, "Mother said to me."
May was gone. She disappeared about half an hour back, soon after the thing started chasing us. She was there and then she wasn't, the only sign of her disappearance a surprised gasp before I turned around, faced with the face of the creature, grinning evilly at me.
"Turn around and trust me child, count thee up to three."
I threw a glance over my shoulder, crashing through the growth and foliage of the woods like there was no tomorrow. I could feel it's eyes on my back, hear the pattering of its feet on the ground as it raced along behind me.
"Do not fight the seas my child, when they have pulled thee down."
I frowned. But the whole reason May was so scared was because everything but us was silent. The creature had no footsteps. So what the hell was following me? I came to a clearing and something tripped me, sending me stumbling forward. I hit the ground hard enough that the world spun.
"She said to me goodnight my child."
I flipped over, staring in horror at the young woman above me. Her blue eyes were fully black, no whites visible. Her face was gaunt and pale, and she held herself weird, head tilted ever so slightly as she regarded me. May raised her hand, grinning cruelly, and I locked my eyes onto the gleaming surface of the blade.
"And then she let me drown."
The knife descended.
A stab of pain and fire shot through my veins.
Then there was nothing.
A/N Alright everyone. I deleted my other story because it was more of an experimental little thing. This one has, hopefully, a better storyline and isn't as fast. This one's for real, and yes, in case you're wondering, I have created a new OC for the purpose of this story. I hope you enjoyed. Please review. Yes that was the song from pretty little liars, but it has a purpose, so... judge me not.
Sid.
