"NO!" I screamed and struggled against my bonds.
"Please stop you'll only hurt yourself" I heard the man say, but i was too busy crying to pay any attention to him.
"Please stop this" I yelled to him. His face turned sympathetic.
"I can't little 'un" He said.
"And why not?" I demanded.
"Because,"He said with a tight voice,"it's your time."
The last thing i saw was a syringe and then...black.
The darkness swallowed me up.
Then i was swimming in a sea green and black tunnel. I saw a light and swam toward it.
When i reached the end of the tunnel i was surrounded by light.
When my eyes adjusted i noticed that i was in an underwater clearing. It was so beautiful. I saw so much aquatic plant life. I saw pinks, blues, oranges, greens, and so many others that i couln't name.
But in the center in the clearing, i saw the most beautiful creature.
It was a sea serpent. I only knew that because my mother used to tell me stories about how wonderful they were.
But now that i was face to face with one 'wonderful' was the understatement of the year.
"Are you the one they call Marlene" the creature asked.
"Yes" was all i could muster.
The sea serpent seemed relieved.
"We have been waiting for your arival" It bowed.
"Why?"I asked.
"I do not have much time to explain, but please except this gift" Right in front of me started to glow. I had to avert my eyes so i wouldn't go blind.
When the light died down i looked in front of me..and gasped (can u gasp underwater?). The gift was a blue gem in the shape of a tear drop, hanging from a gold chain.
"I-I can't take this"I said to the sea serpent. It smiled.
"Please. This gift will help you AND your partner in more ways than one." And with that the sea creature began to swim away.
"Wait!"I called.
It turned back to me.
"Will i ever see you again, and whats your name.
The serpent smiled again.
"Yes you will see me again. In 3 days time. And as for my name, I am called Silvermist."
I grabbed the necklace as darkness surrounded me once more.
