A/N: This chapter is dedicated to Eleen who sent me the song Horror Beach by The Horrorpops which was my inspiration for the drabble.

Horror Beach
"I don't know."
"What's so bad about it? Are you frightened?"
"Not so much frightened as bleeding terrified."
"It's only water."
"So?"
"What's it going to do to you?"
"Drown me."
"Bella, what's so wrong with swimming?" Mike groaned as he folded his arms across his chest.
"The fact that it's already pitch black out, I can barely see a foot in front of my face because of this fog, not to mention that you drug me all the way down here to First Beach telling me that Angela, Ben, Jessica, Eric, and Tyler would be here as well. Oh, did I forget to mention the La Push kids, too?" Bella ranted, seething at the fact that Mike tricked her to get her down here alone.
It's not like she had anything better to do tonight anyways, because Edward was out hunting, preparing for all of the children who would be flooding his doorstep tomorrow night in various costumes; but the fact that Mike tricked her, Bella just didn't like it.
"Look, would it make you feel any better if I went in first?" Mike persisted.
Bella contemplated that for a moment before giving her consent. Fully clothed, Mike ran towards the water's edge, plunging in without even cringing at the most likely freezing temperature of the brisk October waves.
"See, Bella? Come on in, the water's great!" Mike called from out of the fog.
"No, I don't see Mike. I can't see a thing!" Bella called back.
"Then come on in!" The fog replied.
"I'd rather not."
"Oh Bella, what have you got to worry ab-" Mike's voice trailed off, only to be replaced by a small splash.
"Mike?"
No reply.
"Mike?"
Another gurgle.
Turning on her heel, Bella fast-walked along the sand towards where she had left her truck whispering to the wind: "That's enough of Horror Beach for me. Not even Edward could keep me here."
All of a sudden, a vision of Mike being pulled under and eaten by Nesse popped into her head. Bella just laughed and continued onto her escape transportation.
