Day 2 of making it up to you guys.

_

"Katherine, are you sure you're ok?" Emily asks swimming over to me. I swim closer to her and make a funny face. Wide eyes and a top teeth smile.

"I'd like to say so." I say laughing at myself. She shake her head and swims away. While I on the other hand, am swimming further away. I know it's dangerous, but who cares!

I see one floaty thing that bobs in the water if your too far. I glance back behind me to see how far I am. I furrow my eyebrows when I realize I swam way too far. "I couldn't have swam that far. Oh well." I continue to swim to the bobby thing. A victory laugh escapes my mouth as I touch it.

"Kat!" I hear a faint yell. I ignore it and climb on it. It almost tips over, making me slip and fall back into the water. Ignoring the calls, I try to climb again. I grunt in annoyance when I slip a few more times.

"Aha!" I cheer after successfully climbing onto the bobby thing. I don't know what it's called so bobby thing it is.

"Kat!" Someone shouts in the distance. I roll my eyes and turn to where the voice is coming from. Everything s blurry so I can see much, only 3 little heads moving around.

I shrug and jump back in the water, then getting back out to do another trick. I do that for about 10 minutes before I feel a hand on my shoulder. The hand spins me around, almost knocking us off of the bobby thing. I glare when I see nothing. Turning to the left, Ethan is suddenly in view.

"Hi baby, are you having fun? I know I am." I say happily.

"Why are you talking to me like I'm a baby? And why the hell did you swim all the way out here? A shark could have killed you." He says slightly worried and angry. I smile adoring him before speaking.

"You're so cute when you're angry and worried. Boop." I tap his nose then jump back in the water. I open my eyes under water to see everything. I get an idea to go deeper, but that is thrown away when I'm pulled up out of the water.

"What the fuck? I was exploring like ariel the fucking mermaid." I state in a 'duh' tone. He ignores me and throws me back in the water, making me squeal in surprise. "You know, if you wanted beach sex all you had to do was say so." He ignores me again and jumps in with me not long after. My right hand is in his grasp as he swims us to shore. Bummer.

As soon as we get to shore he picks me up bridal style. I smile, wrapping my arms around him and snuggling closer. We get to the truck and I buckle myself up before drifting off to sleep. I hear Ethan say he's driving my truck. Guess he's letting Em & Gray know.

"Hello?" I ask glancing around. This place is dark, but I can still make out the scenery. A forest. Why is it always a forest?

"Turn them on or they die!" Someone yells. Well that's a bit dramatic. I whip around to see a stranger in a black hoodie about to shoot my kids. What the hell is going on?

"I dont care, this isn't real!" I shout.
His mouth is showing but not their eyes. He smirks and points beside me. Confused, I look to my right. I gasp a the sight. It's him, aiming a gun to my kids and Ethans head. What the fuck!? "If you can't see your fingers, it's a dream." I mumble trying to focus on my hand. I can't see them.

"Now don't be mad but spin around." He commands. I involuntarily spin around to see myself pointing the gun at them. My eyes widen when she slowly pulls the trigger. I run to stop it, but I'm too late. I scream in agony as Ethan is the first to drop. I cover my eyes, not wanting to see this anymore.
