Sorry it took me so long to update. Like I said school and stuff like that makes it so hard to update. And sorry it is really short but it is good, I guess. Hope you like it and like always I love reviews.
Title- Penelope
Author- taylorxxoo2
Summary- Michie, Ella and Tess are at Camp Rock and a ghost story is shared. It's fake, isn't it? Read to see who survives and who doesn't. R&R. Rated T for content.
Chapter 5- Figment of her Imagination?
Ella's scream echoed through the air. She wondered if Michie heard it and hoped she did. Maybe she would run fast and get away before "it" got her. Ella shook her head and looked back at the water where the bubbles appeared.
The bubbles were gone and the water was calm, not one ripple as a clue that they were ever there. Confused, Ella peered closer into the water, trying to see if something was in the water.
All she saw was her own reflection in the dark water. Ella relaxed and sat down in the middle of the dock. She had a theory of what the bubbles were. They were either an animal, like a fish, swimming and making bubbles appear above them or a figment of her imagination.
"Tess?" Ella whispered once felling more secure but not totally at ease. Of course there was no answer. Just silence and the faint sound of the waves splashing against the dock.
Ella was never comfortable with silence. Ever. And she also didn't like the dark; it was to unpredictable, like tonight.
Why was everything going wrong? Ella wondered. First the boys don't show up but leave a sign telling us to go to the beach. Then Tess disappears and the boys still don't show up. She gasped and a small growl escaped from her mouth. Tess set us up. She probably is trying to freak us out. Her and the boys. What a bitch. Next time I see her she better wear hockey gear.
Ella stood up on the dock, finally have decided to head back to shore and go find Michie. As she took a step closer towards the edge of the dark that's when she heard the waves stutter and she heard a bump behind her. It wasn't just any bump, but it sounded like a hand grabbing the dock.
Ella didn't think any further and jumped off the dock and into the water. She swam like she never swam before; trying to out swim whatever was behind her.
Relief spread through Ella's body as she reached closer and closer to the shore, she was going to make it. Suddenly she felt something, like fingernails, scratch the back of her foot. Ella's heart sped up and all relief left her body, leaving fear in its place.
Ella kicked even harder, kicking off the hands. Finally her feet hit the sand and she was running through the water. It was nowhere as fast as swimming, but more effective in shallow water. She then hit dry land and turned her head back toward the lake. No one was there and there was no trace of anyone. Not a ripple in the water, besides hers, and no one standing in the black water.
Maybe I imagined it? Ella thought, but then she felt a sharp pain coming from the back of her feet. She looked down and her heart suddenly sped up.
On the back of her feet were small but deep cuts, four in a row and spread apart like on a hand clenched.
With one last look back to the lake Ella sped.
