Drowned

"Shawn..." She said worried shifting in her seat uncomfortable, and terrified at the scene.

I could see her look through the rear-view mirror looking at the car behind us that had been following us for a while in the heavy rain as I slowly sped the car tapping my fingers on the steering wheel. It's tinted windows hid the monster deep within the black vehicle as it's plate numbers were covered up in what seemed to be a black plastic bag. I bit my lip as they began to speed up, already at the tail of my bumper. A whimper managed to escape her lips as we began to swerve.

"Shawn! Be careful! Please!" She cried.

The bumper was hit making our bodies jerk as I immediately turned the steering wheel right which caused the car to slide on the street. I looked out my window as we slid off the road tumbling down the mountain. A tight scream left her mouth as I tried holding up the lid of the car as we hit water slowly sinking. She pulled at the seat belt trying to pry it off as I removed mine. I felt my feet soak in the clear liquid that slowly filled the car as she began to sob.

"Just go, leave, you'll be safer! Go!"

"I'm not leaving you! I'll get you out! I-"

She held my hand and shook her head.

"It's okay... I'll be okay"

I shook my head and tried to free her from the belt, the water at my waist. I dug in my pocket and found a pocket knife quickly opening it cutting off the grey belt. She took off her necklace and put it on me. Her lips met mine as she nodded and whispered,

"I can't swim..."
