Yay, new part so soon! I wanted to catch up a bit with the stories, so i decided to add a new part before i forgot. Anyway, let's get on with the new part.


           Nina floated comfortably in a watery substance that surrounded her on every side. Her eyes were still closed, so all she could do was feel the comforting warmth of the ocean around her. Slowly, Nina pried her eyes open to look at her current surroundings, but all she could see was inky darkness. She could feel her eyes open, she could feel the warm liquid hitting her face, she could even feel her eyes moving as she looked around, but everything remained black. The sea around her seemed to be noting but an ocean of ink.
            Curiously, Nina moved her limbs, feeling the familiar weight of water over her and the sensation of the moving liquid on her bare skin. Slowly, Nina moved to look at her own body, but most of it was hidden within the darkness. All that she could make out was the faint outline of her bare legs and hips. A dim light was burning beneath her.
           As if her limbs had a mind of its own, Nina began swimming toward the only source of light that she could see until she could make out the faint outline of small, child like body curled up into a ball in the middle of the light. Intrigued, the dark haired girl swam closer in the ink until she could finally see who was among the rays of dim golden light. It was a small child, a halo of hair as black as the inky sea surrounding her, the light came from glowing chains that were wrapped tightly around the child's frail body and limbs, holding her in place among the currents of ink. Now that she was close enough to see the child's sleeping face, Nina could almost make out a shadowy chain connecting her to the frail little girl.
          A flowing black dress that reached down to the girls knees was the only thing covering the child, she had porcelain pale skin that contrasted with her black hair, and her frail arms were snaked with chains. Suddenly, a crushing weight nocked the wind out of Nina's lungs, making her feel as if she was truly drowning. Looking back at the child as she clawed at her throat, Nina saw the mismatch eyes of the little girl who was floating beside her. She was watching her with a sadistic grin, revealing rows of shark-like teeth.
          Nina began to panic, her lungs screaming for oxygen as she clawed at her face and throat. Panic made it harder to struggle, giving her less time to swim. All the while, the demon at her side watched her cruelly.
