The Aquapark was huge, I couldn't remember much of it since we almost never came here. My little brother played by the kids' pool as always, he sometimes said he wanted to swim with the old people, referring to me and my parents. But my parents were very careful when it came to crowded places. I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted, because I had to look after my little brother almost all the time. He looked at me and splashed water on my face. Suddenly I saw something. I was pretty sure there was an old guy staring at me from the other side of the pool. Over his head were two black birds flying around, almost like they were following him. 

I kept staring at him when he suddenly turned his head and I met his eyes. They were cold as ice, and it gave me chills all over. It was weird because I couldn't move my eyes from him even though I tried. There was something there, something tells me that he was someone important. As we kept staring at each other, I didn't notice my little brother running from the kids pool to the deeper pool. splash! '''Ella! help'' I suddenly turned around and saw my little brother almost drowning! I ran to the pool and jumped in as fast as I could. I held him around me, and just when I was about to lift him up from the pool the old guy came and helped me. He smiled, yet still with the same cold eyes and I felt even more scared than before. As he came closer I remembered him. He was the man from my dream! But why did I feel he was important earlier?''Thank You..'' I said shivering. ''The address, don't forget'' he said. As I went up from the pool he was long gone both him and the two blackbirds. The address! The address from the paper! How did he know! As I had lots of thoughts in my head my parents came running to us. '' what happened?'' ''Nothing, we were just playing'' I said fast before they could ask any more questions. ''I want to go home'' my parents looked at each other and thought it was time to get back home. When we arrived I ran out of the car and upstairs to find the letter.
