Chapter 8: Reflections

>>Reflections<<

        I found Elizabeth and asked her where the pool was. She guided me toward the kitchen, down a hall, and approached a glass door.

        I could already smell the strong scent of the pool, and it made me relax a bit.

        "Okay, here it is. If you want to contact me or need anything" she grabbed a necklace from a pocket of her dress and handed it to me, "press that small button behind this and say your order. To me, it's like an alarm, an announcement, so I will immediately hear it through mine" Elizabeth pulled out a necklace she'd been hiding on her neck and shone it to me.

        The necklaces seemed similar, only mind looked smaller and more fragile. The subject of it was oval with a small yellow button at the back. There was no design, there were just letters that said ARIA.

        I glanced at her curiously and she just smiled and quickly walked away.

        I shrugged and pushed the door open, revealing a wide pool that had many different types of hieghts.

        I scanned the walls of the pool and made out the signs in the water: 2 FEET, 4 FEET, 6 FEET, 11 FEET.

        The necklace beeped loudly and an orange glow occured inside, like a Sun beaming through a blanket.

        It must be automatic I thought to myself.

        I looked around and saw a rack full of towels, a TV, water coloring, and many more. Although, I didn't find any extra clothes.

        I groaned. I FORGOT TO BRING CLOTHES OR EVEN A BATHING SUIT. Unless I dip inside the pool wearing the dress... That's doesn't seem like a bad idea. I could just grab a towel to wrap myself with and wear that while traveling to my room carrying my dress. I'm sure the dress can just be hand washed.

        I stared at the beautiful, clear pool until I dipped my whole body inside. It was was smooth and warm, the perfect temperature.

        My dress simply glided with the water as if it were water itself. It created waves while I walked gently in the pool, getting deeper and deeper until I was at 6 feet.

        My feet hovered above the ground as the water got deeper. I moderately swayed my legs in the water to keep me from sinking. I don't know much about floating, but this was all I knew about it.

        The water was so relaxing, I could have just slept in it.

        I cupped my hands and dipped it in the water, then raised it up. The water found cracks through my fingers and it dropped back into the pool.

        I smirked and dived into the water, feeling the water swift past my face.

        When I finally felt comfortabe, I opened my eyes, and saw through the water. It was so clear that I could even see the other end of the pool. It was like seeing across a basketball court. The ground was cold and a bit rough. Of course, so that nobody would slip and fall.

        My hair floated around my face as I kept walking across the floor of the pool.

        I had enough air to keep swimming so I took advantage of it and slowly jumped as if in slow motion.

        But something felt wrong. I couldn't float anymore, it was as if there was a wall dividing me from the surface of the water.

        I jumped again, nothing.
