"You Can't Tell"

It was Impossible to stop hurtling down, down nearly endless. You couldn't stop until you hit rock bottom. When my hand hit the cold sand I let my body turn itself right side up. I kept my feet going back and fourth, my hands by my side head up squinting to see daylight. I finally got there and pulled myself up onto the dock. Blink, breathe, sigh, cough while the cool air blew against me. I stood there feeling really heavy and my jeans seemed to be falling down, I pulled them up, my shirt stuck to me so I pulled it out. Turned around about to walk away but there stood before me was a bleak woman. She did not look happy. She pointed slowly across the pond and said,

"That's my house and you're on my property. Miss, you shouldn't be in or near this pond, bad things could happen, trust me." She was talking in a whisper. I shook my head yes in return. She turned around and moved slowly away, it was strange the way she moved about, it was like she was almost floating. I looked down and there was no feet with shoes, all there was, was her pale yellow dress hovering over the ground. I blinked once; twice she was still hovering away. I walked over to were the girls were standing.

"Ashlyn, were you just talking to yourself" asked Lynne.

"No, I was talking to that creepy lady" I responded

"What lady?" asked Lynne

"Yeah, who were you talking to?" asked Isabel also, finally letting herself into the conversation.

"If you were talking to an imaginary person you can tell us, we wont tell I mean we owe it to you, that was a pretty scary dare Isabel and I gave you" Said Lynne.
