Lily loved L.A but that was because she had a home to go back to. She was
just visiting here she didn't have to worry about a safe place to live or
rent money or anything. All she had to do was enjoy the city.
It was the third night that she went to the pier. She wasn't sure why but she felt drawn there. Maybe, she thought, I was a sailor in a past life or a seagull, and she laughed as one flew overhead. She walked out to the edge of the pier and stared out at the stillness of the ocean. The inky darkness of the night sitting over the water.
She felt peaceful and a sudden desire to go swimming. Where had that come form why would she want to swim in this filthy water? Because it would be fun, an inner voice replied. I don't have a swim suit said the rational side of her brain. That doesn't matter, replied the voice, you could just take off your shoes and dive into the ocean and swim. And drown more like it, said the rational voice You won't drown, the voice seemed to reassure her, and you'll be perfectly safe you just need to find something for me. For me? What would me need to find, the rational side fought back. Not for you Lily, for me.
I AM GOING INSANE!!!!!
Lily screamed at the top of her lungs. She was hearing voices it was one thing to argue with yourself but not when there was a foreign voice in your head.
Lily, the voice was back, you are not insane but you need to do this for me. I have no physical form I can't do it but you can. Do what, asked lily. Swim out six miles into the ocean in a south westerly direction and dive down and free the man in the box. This is a little detailed for a split personality, Lily thought. I'm not a split personality. I'm separate, a friend but I need help and it's your choice you can say no but I want you to say yes. And if I say no? Then I'll leave you alone and the man will be trapped forever. This sounds like a fairy tale. I wish it was make believe but please this is real. I could never swim twelve miles. You can you have slayer strength and endurance. This is insane. Thank you for doing this.
Lily pulled off her shoes and dived in, yuck she thought this water is a million times worse than demon goo. She started to swim, it was going to be a long night.
