My blue eyes stared into dark brown ones.
"E-Ella!" I gasped.
She smiled sadly at me her blonde bob swayed back in the wind.
"ELLA!" I yelled happily my long red hair whipping back as ran to her embracing her in a large hug.
Something was strange about her she was cold and it felt like I could fall right threw her.
But i only noticed in the back of my mind, it seemed happiness consumed all of my other thought.
I stood back tears forming in my eyes.
"Close your eyes" Ella said. Her voice seemed misty and far away.
I closed my eyes. "Open" said multiple voices.
I opened my eyes and saw all my siblings in front of me. Alex with his brown hair and brown eyes and James with his black hair and green eyes.
Tears formed in my eyes as I ran up to them all.
Then Alex grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and he growled.
"You let us die? Who do you think you are? Didn't you even try to save us?" He said shaking me.
Those words stabbed me like a dagger.
"I wanted to but I didn't know how? I wanted to jump down and save you but before I could she grabbed me! Drowned she grabbed me!" I cried tears spilling.
"I know I did" all my siblings said with and evil laugh. Their voices where cold and high pitched.
"WHAT?!" I exclaimed.
They all disappeared into mist and the most become a person.
She had black hair and red eyes. She had a smile that sent shivered up my spine.
Her red eyes looked like blood and her black hair looked like the black lake water.
She had a long misty white dress that seemed almost transparent.
"Your the drowner aren't you?" I said my voice suddenly deflated and dull.
"Yes I am" Drowner said her voice full with humor.
I stared at her. She smiled back at me.
Then rage rushed through me and I started screaming at the top of my lungs.
"WHY DID YOU GRAB ME !!! I NEEDED TO SAVE THEM WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM!!!" I ran at her pushing her back with every word I say.
"WHERE ARE THEY WHAT DID YOU DO!!
YOU TOOK THEM!!! YOU TOOK THEM!!! WHERE DID YOU PUT MY SIBLINGS!!! YOU MONSTER"
At the last word I punch her and she fell back.
Her face was now the one filled with fear.
"N-nobody's been able to touch me before" she stammered.
I just scowled at her.
She tried to stand but I shopped her back down.
"Until we meet next time... Girl" Drowner fell threw the ground and I heard the lake behind me have a tiny splash.
I didn't go home... I didn't know where to go. How could I tell my family? How could I stay here forever?
"FIONA!!!" My mothers voice screamed out.
I waved at her and she saw the shimmer of my bracelet.
She came over and saw the scratches that covered my body and how defeated I looked and how many years fell silently down my cheeks into the grass.
"Fiona!" She embraced me in a hug that I pathetically returned.
"What's wrong, where'd you get these scratches? Why do you look so defeated? Why are you crying? W-where- where are your siblings?" It made me let out a little pathetic sob and my hand lifted shakily and pointed to the lake.
I heard my mother gasp and burst into tears. I closed my eyes and fell back passing out.
