The Depths (WIP)

🌊Chapter one🌊

Amelia's Pov

The horrid stale water filled my mouth and blurred my vision. The only indication of hope what the pale white light that flooded on top of the surface.Unfortunately for me the more I struggled the more something down in the darkness was determined to keep me under. I looked wildly around trying to find what did it, but all I saw were a pair of bright pale yellow eyes staring back....The creature grasped onto my leg with such force I thought it might break...or worse.

I tried my best to shake off it's hand but it didn't work, I had to do something else. I kicked at the hand until it let me free from it's grasp, I didn't even think about what might happen next all I knew was that I must get away. I started to swim as fast as I could until I broke through the surface of the lake, just to see the moon looking back among the dark clouds. I took a moment to gaze at it as it looked more eerie as it stretched across.

It's funny how a great day could turn into something like this I thought. I shook my head this isn't a time to stop and think, with that I started to swim towards safety. When I made it to land I didn't dare turn back as the feeling of that thing staring at me was far too great.

I know you must probably be thinking how did I get into this mess...god where shall I begin. I guess I should tell you a bit about myself my name is Amelia I'm sixteen and live with my dad Luis and my older brother Hunter. My mother died a few years ago...even now I can't help but look at her picture and cry. You see I wasn't the best child a parent could ask for, hell I still am. Long story short I had a fight with her not long before her....you know..

Today started off fairly normal I woke up and took a cold shower, then put on my favorite olive turtleneck sweater. I didn't know what to do with my hair so I put it in a messy bun. "Hun can you come down? I got you something" my dad called upstairs. "Sure just give me a moment!" I called back. I took a look at myself in the mirror my orange hair was a messy as ever, just then I noticed I forgot my glasses. I quickly put them on and hurried down the stairs to see my dad in the living room.

"Oh, there you are" mumbled my dad. "You said you got me something?" I pointed out. He looked at me then looked like he remembered "Oh! Right I got you a little something" he said while pulling out a box wrapped in silver wrapping paper. I unwrapped the gift and if the box was a beautiful golden heart locket.
