DISCLAIMERS

Life With Derek belongs to Disney. Supernatural belongs to the WB. Story was slightly inspired by the Are You Afraid of the Dark? episode "Dead Man's Float". The creature is mine, though inspired by the Water-Man Legend. Information here is from a folklore and myth site I found.

"Okay, what?" Casey asked.

"Well, I thought that the mention of blue spots on the kid sounded familiar, so I looked up this old legend. I found it. It's a legend that originates from Poland and Germany," Sam responded.

"Sam, while we're young," Casey told her cousin. Dean laughed as Sam huffed.

"The Water-Man also known as a Wodny muz or Nykus," Sam read.

"A Nix," Casey recalled.

"Right. It lures its victims to the place where it bathes in order to drown them. Its handiwork is distinguished by the blue spots on the victims," Sam continued, reading off the information.

"Wait. So we got some kind of a naked creature in the pool? Yuck," Casey stated.

"But the kid didn't say anything about seeing anyone. He just said somethin' pulled his brother under the water," Dean reminded them.

"If it was the Water-Man, why wouldn't he show himself?" Sam wondered.

"That's what we gotta find out," Dean determined. The three stared at each other.
