Chapter 12
Mayla~
I've always been fast. When I was eight I was on the middle school track team. Anyways, when Jade said run, I ran. My life depended on it. Rusty ran with me. We found a pit where a really small pond used to be. Me and Rusty could barely fit in there together. The water went over us forever. The wall finally finished rolling over us. I barely survived in there without breathing. I climb out of the pit soaked and muddy. The water is up to my waist. I wade around looking for my friends. In the distance I see a bright yellow shirt. I wade towards it. When I finally get there I see that I don't know the person. I realize that it is a girl about five years old. She is lingering over another figure. A teenage girl. "Sissy?" she's talking to the body which is long dead. "Wake up!" she says prying her eyelids open.
"Hey." I say. "Your sissy is uh... in a better place."
"Where?" she looks confused as she looks around. "I don't see her. Tell me where I can find her." Her voice is so cute.
"Um... if you come with me I can... help you find her?" I seem to be asking a question.
"Ok." She sounds glum now.
"Ok." I say. "Lets go." I throw her onto my back and continue wading through this deep water.
