In the little wooden cabin in the woods the old lady grandma, the 4 children,and the parents sat in a small circle around the fire shivering trying to stay warm on this winter evening.
"Shall I tell you a story" the grandma asked Alex, Ella, James, and I Fiona, the 4 children
"Yes grandma" James and Ella chirped
"Please" Fiona and Alex asked
As so the Grandma begun:
"There's a Myth called THE DROWNER! Where of which if somebody goes next to the pitch pool maybe makes a wish or not a hand suddenly flys out of the water and grabs the person pulling them under the water and drowning them in pitch black darkness... No one has ever survived the Drowner... some say somebody hurt the ones the Drowner loved back ago and now she's after revenge and won't stop drowning till she finds the one who hurt them... Some say she's pure evil and blood... Foolishness to me I think her poor soul is maybe cursed and she doesn't want to do this but she has to... Because nobody can be evil darkness and blood with out a back story can they... Well something that everybody knows about Drowner is that she kills people with her own fear..she is scared of dark water, drowning, and just water in general." Grandma said "THE DROWNER!"
James and Ella screamed Alex hugged me and I asked "is the Drowner a girl?"
"I don't know" said Grandma "it's just easier to call the Drowner that"
"Stop Mom your gonna give the children nightmares" mother said hugging James and Ella
"It's a MYTH..." Grandma said
"I'm gonna look for the pond!" I said
"NO! DO NOT look for that pond whatever you do!" Grandma said the spark in her eye suddenly going out.
I nodded and we stood up to go to bed
"Do not look for the pond" Grandma warned
She looked terrified as she went up stairs, I could tell she put on a FAKE smile when she said "love you good night."
I walked up stairs a little worried...
Grandma said it was just a myth so it must be safe... Me and Alex, James and Ella will go look tomorrow.. I said as I feel asleep.
