The forest was hushed except for the moaning breeze. Shivers voyaged down my spine and jolted the hairs on my back. My feet were bare for some reason, numbing from the chilliness of the ground.
I'm in Eskor. I'm in the beach of Eskor, the beach right next to my cabin. It was dark. The sky was clear with stars, beautiful enough to ignite anyone's heart with pleasure. The moonlight reflected on the leaping surface of the sea.
I was walking closer and closer to the sea. Close until the cold endings wetted my feet. I smiled and enjoyed the peace the sea gives me. I guess that's the advantage of being a Water Elemental.
A hand erupted out of the water, grabbing my ankle.
I yapped when it tugged me. I timbered backwards, falling onto the soggy sand and being dragged further and further into the ocean. I screamed and turned the upper part of my body around, clawing onto the sand as if it'll save me.
The hand had no flesh.
It's made out of water.
The ocean engulfed me, though I managed to rupture out and scream even more, hoping someone would hear me. The salty water smouldered my lips.
A watery figure of a woman erupted out of the sea. She stared at me with radiant eyes. A prevailing, light-blue, eerie aura glimmered around her as she stared at me.
The water that shaped her leisurely and abruptly transformed into a sinister, crimson colour.
Blood.
She's now a figure of fresh blood. Tears were rushing from her radiant eyes. And she seemed to be . . . sobbing and panting at the same time.
And so is the sea.
The entire ocean is red. Red with mucky, fresh, repellent blood.
Blood and sweat.
Blood, sweat and tears. Flowing up to my breasts.
I was horrified. Horrified by this . . . this thing. I tried to free my ankle from her grip. She understood my actions and let my ankle go.
I looked at the woman. She's gazing at me with a negative emotion. Hurt? Disappointment?
She held out her arm, her radiant eyes seeming to pierce through me, as if she could see my soul.
She opened her mouth. Three words flew out. Three words that surprised me:
"I need you" . . .
"Dear passengers, you have reached your desired location, Hong Kong," a monotone voice reverberated through the entire train. "Please take your belongings. Have a great day."
