Hey guys I know its been FOREVER since I have updated so I made this one my longest chapter yet so ya any wayyy here ya go...

Green. Thats all I could see as Sandra and I ran as silently as possible through the forest near who knows where. The sounds of birds chirping above used to be relaxing but now it sounds as if their mocking us calling out 'Your dead little girls, dead!" Twigs snapped loudly from under neath our feet as we scampered on, trying to avoid the giant bushes the would crackle and hiss if you got to close.

Up ahead I got a glimpse of what seemed to be a body of water. I gave a slight 'whoop' as I lengthened my stride and ran faster. The closer I got the dryer my mouth seemed to get as if telling me it was on the brink of becoming the new Saharan dessert. When we finally skidded to a stop at the edge of the water, I realized that we wouldn't be able to drink the salty water of the bay and sagged to the ground in despair.

"Uh are we on a island?" Sandra questioned. Looking around I realized that she seemed to be right, if you looked hard enough in both direction of the beach you could see that it just ended as if being swallowed by a giant mouth.

"Ah crap" I muttered "How did I not notice this before" I said while face palming.

"Its all good I think I can see the shore from here why don't we just swim, it only looks to be about a couple thousand meters. Wait you can swim right?" Sandra rambled on while pointing her chipped finger nails out in the direction of what seemed to be the main land. " I don't think we have a choice" I said as soon as I started to hear a shrill bubbly gum kind of voice that sounded as if it belonged to a snobby little girl, cackle and laugh as if it were playing its favorite game. And winning.

Shucking off our shoes we dove for the water as if the hounds of hell were nipping at our heels.

Swimming for shore wan't easy. Sandra and I were chilled to the bone within minutes of hitting the frigid water. A layer of thick marine fog coated the surface of the bay as I stood there waiting for my body to adjust to the cold. Tendrils of fog slipped around my shoulders and I remembered my uncle telling me stories about little girls being swallowed up by a mysterious fog monster.

Monster,Demon,Werewolf,Paul...

My stomach clenched and my toes curled. I closed my eyes and struggled to ground myself.

"Are you sure you can see land?" I whispered to Sandra

She pointed again. "See the treetops above the fog?"

I nodded, then rubbed down the goose bumps on my arms.

Easing my body the rest of the way into the water, I was on the swim team at my school and was one of the top girls in my age group so I figured I would be fine even still as I reassured my self a wave of unease skittered down my spine. Sandra drifted in behind me, her chine up, expression unreadable.

I guessed that the strip of water was about a kilometer across. Not exactly a short distance but not exactly a long one either I kept telling myself as I paddled through the frigid water. It was half of the distance from Collins house to first beach. One eighth of the distance for the race I run every year on Nanaimo island. One twelfth the distance of my favorite hike to get to my favorite place to climb. Easy. Except for the fact that I loved to climb, run and swim, not while getting chased by some psycho crazed vamp bitch.

But I guess my brain shut off and realized it had to go into survival mode because while I was cold and uncomfortable, I stayed pretty calm. Every now and then I would lose focus and start to panic but the sound of splashing hands and feet in the water breaking through the eery calm always brought me back from my panic attack.

Behind me I could hear the slight wheeze of Sandra as if she were out of breath. I guessed she wasn't very athletic. I was about to slow down and paddle along side her when something cold brushed along my foot. A fish I guessed, but then it wrapped its iron like grip around my ankle and pulled me under.

I didn't fight at first. Something evil had my foot. Something was pulling me under. Just like when I used to go swimming at first beach with Collin and got caught in the seaweed. For a second I gave up thinking that all the effort I was putting in to escaping wasn't worth it. Everything that has happened in the last twenty four hours, the fall, the capture, the secrets, Paul...was clearly maybe just a bad dream. It has to be..

Then I began to choke and my survival instincts kicked in. I kicked and yanked my legs while flailing my arms. But the thing kept dragging me under.

No, not something-the vampire.

I could feel the cold rock like fingers curled around my ankle and when I kicked, my toes brushed against the unmistakable hair. Red hair.

I tried to no avail to grab on to the vampire's hand to try and loosen her hold, but every time I thought I was close her hand was no longer there. My eyes were stinging and my lungs threatened to burst. When I felt nails dig deep into my ankle drawing blood, I let out a shrill scream only realizing my mistake seconds after freezing cold water rushed down my throat. I was going to drown.

Then the impossible happened. The toes of my free foot touched the rocky bottom of the bay. I pushed myself down even though my brain screamed at me to go up. I bent forward and reached to grasp what a knew wouldn't be there. The vampire had released my ankle. Shooting towards the surface I caught the sight of a beautiful red haired women sitting cross legged on the bottom of the sea laughing while her piercing red gaze pierced my own.

Propelling myself closer to the surface I broke through with a huge scream. Gasping for air as water rushed into my mouth choking me once again. Coughing, I finally was able to get a breath of air. Nails scrapped my arm and I panicked before I heard the voice.

"Shh its just me, its ok I'm right here." Sandra reassured me as we bobbed in the waves. I wrapped my arms around her neck and laid my face on her back as I flutter kicked as best as I could to help her out.

When we made it to shore, I didn't insist on getting to dry ground instead we both just collapsed where we could.

The sky was so dark now that it looked like night has fallen but the slight smell of rain told me I was wrong. I pulled my legs up and wrapped my arms around them and shivered as I tried not to think about what had just happened. Just beside our little rocky beach was the forest. It looked like the forest around La Push but I couldn't really tell.

"What happened out there?" Sandra finally asked.

I looked up. She was pivoting on her feet as I looking for tell tale signs of danger. Anything that could be lurking in the fog.

"The vampire" Thats all I said and Sandra got a strange look of understanding and fear that crossed her face. "She pulled me to the bottom and then she let go and laughed as she watched me struggle. Its like she's playing a giant game of cat and mouse."

Night had finally fallen by the time we had finally put ourselves together enough to start moving again. There was no lights to break through the dense fog or the growing darkness. We walked along the shore for a little while but only came across one old worn out and broken fishing dock that looked as if it hadn't been used in a long time. We needed to head farther inland.

As we walked in silence, Sandra scooted closer to me in fear. Every time she heard a noise she would jump and look around as if she expected the vampire to saunter out of the darkening forest.

Finally we headed towards the trees.

"Uh Chelsea?" Sandra said from behind me "Maybe this isn't such a good idea."

I turned around "The fogs gone in here and we are no safer out there on the beach then in here in the forest." Pointing to a rocky outcrop, that looked like a natural path lined with emerald ferns and towering maples. "Look we can even take that deer path"

Somewhere off onto our right a big horned owl hooted. Even the small tendrils of fog drifting through the pines like smooth lace brought on an eery silence.

I led Sandra carefully through the familiar forest without seeing the slightest sign of life. We hadn't walked very far before I realized that if we were going to get any good idea of where we were we had to get higher.

Walking over to a pile of rocks I started to climb not realizing that the rocks were covered in slippery lichen till it was to late. My foot slid and my leg buckled. Sandra dove to catch me but my knee cracked against a rock as I screamed out in pain. My jeans had split and underneath my skin had split along with it, blood dripped down my exposed leg and I whimpered, the pain was excruciating. When Sandra tried to touch it I grabbed her hand preventing her from making the pain worse.

"I need to check it out," She said in a determined voice.

My skin had been sliced open but she said that the bone didn't feel broken even as I hissed in pain. Sandra told me that she had no idea what was wrong with it other then the obvious. She didn't know but I did. I wrenched it and now we are in some deep shit and its all my fault.

So whatcha think? I know I said they would get rescued in this chapter but I decided to keep the poll open longer so you can still vote on my profil page...any way imaginary cake for every one who reviews :)
