Chapter 5

Nessie's POV

I awoke to the sound of rushing water. My breathing was hard and ragged - - I woke from a dream where I was being pulled away by a merciless ocean, probably caused by the mysterious sound. The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the suffocating darkness. It wasn't dark as if my eyes were still shut; there was a dim light, but I couldn't find the source. No, this dark was one little children are scared of, the one most likely to be cloaking the monsters from your nightmares I sniffed the air for anything out of place - poison, knock-out gas, something to infer that I really was kidnapped and this wasn't just a bad dream. But there was nothing, just a pleasant breeze to accompany the peaceful noises. Like the sound machine at home, I remembered, to help me sleep. Mine was a waterfall - -perhaps I was sleeping, since the sounds and smells were similar.

I was interrupted by a sharp pain in my palm, like a million little balls of fire were stuck to it. And the fire had spikes in it. I lifted my hand carefully, glad to find that I could still move it. In the dim light, I could see that the pain was due to sharp pebbles jabbing my bare skin. My half-vampire brain whirred. Something wasn't right about this place - it was too vivid to be a dream. And I felt pain, which was never a good sign due to the phrase

"Pinch me, I must be dreaming." Sadly, I was not. Slowly and painfully, I pushed myself to my feet, stumbling at the sudden rush of the blood to my head. I felt as if I'd been drugged - slow, clumsy, not yet coherent. The first thought to run through my head when I saw my ruined outfit was

"Aw, Aunt Alice will be mad." At the moment, my clothing was nothing to worry about.

"Mom? Dad?" I spun in a circle, panic seizing me when I couldn't locate my parents. My voice echoed throughout the room, and I could tell it was large and mostly hollow. Suddenly, I got an idea.

"Hello?" I yelled, careful not to make any other noises.

I listened to the steady beat of the echo reverberating on the walls. On the right, it continued, bouncing around in a calming pattern. But on the left, I noticed the sudden absence of the echoI yelled again, ignoring the right side. For a few moments, my voice bounced loud and clear. It faded just a little before, suddenly, it was gone. Ignoring the sluggishness of my still--adjusting body, I felt my way along the left wall, holding one hand out in front of me.

I stopped short when that hand was submerged in icy water, rushing downwards. A waterfall. My legs buckled with shock, and I sat down hard. I was lost in a cavern with an endless waterfall to one side, and I wasn't even allowed the privilege of my parents' soothing company. With them, I would be able to make some sense out of this - but then again, if they were here, I wouldn't be in this mess. Would I ever see them again? began to cry hopelessly. It didn't matter if I made a lot of noise. No one could hear me. Probably no one even knew I was in here. Mom, Dad, don't leave me!" I cried one last time, hopeless. It was too late for that -- they had already left.
