I awoke to a dull pain at the base of my skull. Groaning I sat up in my elbows, using one hand to rub the tender spot. I winced and hissed. Looking through the discomfort I took in my surroundings. I was in a sort of underwater cave.
Glancing at my ankles I saw little suction cup marks. Worried, I spun around to see if the giant squid, for by now a bright witch like me had figured out that that was what had brought me here, was still here. It was not to my comfort, though that brought about the question as to how I was to get out. Looking around I did not see my wand.
It was unnerving, for my wand was one of my greatest tools. The chamber was getting quite hot. I fanned myself with my hand and looked down at what I was wearing. My shirt was not wet, though I could tell it had been, as the same with my jeans.
"Merlin it's steamy in here." I said aloud to myself. Then a thought occured to me. No one was around, nor was anyone likely to pop in to an underwater cavern. Becoming resolute in my plan, I grasped the hem of my shirt and pulled it over my head, feeling instant relief from the warm confines of the material. I was glad I had decided to wear an actual bra today and not one of those cloth ones I wore to classes. I stood up and set my shirt, neatly folded, on a nearby boulder. Slipping off my trainers and setting them next to it, I stuffed my socks into the shoes and stepped out of my pants.
Leaving my clothes on the stone, I ventured out from what turned out to be a small recess in a rather large cavern. There were many other openings from the central chamber I was now in so, remembering a story my parents had read to me innumerable times in my child hood, I unhooked my bra & dropped it near the entrance to the recess where my clothes were hidden.
I turned back around, walking towards where the cavern ended & water from the lake was lapping at the stone. I crouched on my knees, peering over into the depths. Something came surging toward me at such a speed that I barely had time to move my head. I gasped.
