Chapter Eight
Rescue
Nightmare flung himself at Scott, Jean and Jennifer watching in hopeless horror. Scott managed to grab Nightmare's knife hand and tried to wrestle the weapon away, but the bigger man was too strong.
Jennifer screamed as Nightmare threw Scott against the dock and fell on him heavily, stabbing him in the hands and shoulder with the knife.
Jean grabbed Nightmare by the shoulders in an attempt to free her friend, but the man slammed her in the face with the back of his hand, knocking Jean unconscious and into the water below the dock.
Jennifer screamed again as Jean sank below the surface.
"Jean!" Scott yelled as he finally threw Nightmare off of him. He was about to dive in after Jean, but Nightmare grabbed him by the throat and tried to stab him again.
"Save Jean!" Scott shouted to Jennifer when he spotted her staring down at the water.
Jennifer glanced wildly between her mentor struggling with Scott and the bubbles rising from the surface of the water.
"What are you waiting for!" Scott screamed, desperately trying to get up as Nightmare jabbed with his knife.
Without a second thought, Jennifer dived into the water a slight gasp escaping her as she spotted Jean sinking ever so slowly into the depths. Jennifer swam quickly towards the drowning girl and when she finally reached her, she wrapped her arm around the older girl and headed wildly for the surface.
Scott finally kicked Nightmare off of him and his attacker suddenly fled into the dark.
Scott got on his knees and stared at the water below the docks, praying that Jennifer and Jean would come up soon.
Oooh! The suspense!
