My first night in a house on the lake. It was quiet and calm. Peaceful. Restful. A new start to a new life for me. I'm a single child. No brother no sister. I get spoiled a ton. That night i sat on the dock in a wooden lay back style chair. It was relaxing. The sound of crickets chirping and frogs croaking. It was heaven. I heard a noise. Like a body was swishing in water. It was a body swishing in water! A boy swam towards me. "Hey there! I'm Dave" He said startling me. "Hi i am Sue" i replied staring at him floating in the water. "I live right over there" he announced pointing into the woods. He sat upon the edge of the dock. We talked for a good hour. He told me a story of a kid who drowned in this lake. He also told me the boys ghost haunts this lake. I laughed of course. "I don't believe in ghosts" i replied. "Well see ya later" he said swimming away. I turned to say goodbye but he disappeared. "What? How did he do that? Maybe he is under the water swimming home." I told myself. I lay in the chair thinking about the calmness of the lake until i fall asleep. I started to dream although it didn't feel like a dream. I was watching a boy. Babysitting. We were in my living room. I got a phone call. I started chatting for a while. When i realized the boy had left. "Davey? Where are you?" I called. The boy didn't answer. "I have to go I'll call you back!" I mentioned hanging the phone up. Davey? Are we playing hide and seek?" I shouted. I ran upstairs. I peered through the window. The water was slashing. "Davey!" I yelled. I ran down the dock. The water was calm. "Davey?" I panicked and dove in. I came up trying to catch my breath. Empty handed. Davey was gone! I woke up screaming. My heart beating intensely. The next night i told dave i saw the boy drowning! As we sat on the edge of the dock. He shook his head not believing a word i said. He told me goodnight and swam away. As i lay in the wooden chair. The cold breeze felt amazing. I closed my eyes. I appeared in my living room again. Babysitting the boy Davey! The same dream! The telephone rang again. "Not this time" i said. I won't answer it this time. I sat and watched the boy playing with his toy dinosaurs. I was hungry. I put a hot pocket into the microwave. I quickly looked back. The kid was gone. "Davey! Where are you!" I shouted. I heard screaming. "The lake!" I bolted though the slider door. Racing to the drowning boy. "Davey!" I dove in. He fell under the water. I grabbed his arm. Pulling him to the surface. He wasn't breathing. "Help!" I yelled. I layed him out on the dock. Starting mouth to mouth. "Come on please Davey" i whispered. He took in a deep breath of air. He sat up spitting water out. "Thank you!" He said smiling at me. He vanished from my arms. Disappeared from sight. "Woah that was weird!" I mumbled. I woke up breathing heavy. "What a dream" i told myself shaking my head. Dave appeared floating above the dock. "Am i still dreaming" i asked myself. You're not dreaming Sue! You freed me. I can finally leave this place now. He said smiling. "Dave?" I asked standing up. "People call me Davey, well when i was a boy that was." He replied floating in the air. "You saved me from drowning because my babysitter didn't pay attention to me. She babbled on the phone while i suffocated under water drowning. I've been stuck in this lake for years! Until someone broke the curse. You broke the curse Sue. Thank you!" He vanished in front of me. Gone forever. I waved bye as i stood there thinking. Thinking about the boy who drowned. I Lay back in my wooden chair thinking about the calmness of the lake.
