I walk with my head down the only one next to me is my shadow. I reach for a hand to hold and find only air. I pull my cloak closer to my body as the edge of my petticoat drags in the mud. I can hear the water rushing over the rocks just below the beautiful glimmering surface. My fingers are cold as I rub my hands together massive puffs of fog float through the air as I breath in the fridgid air. Something lays below the surface of the water. Eyes. bright silver eyes.
"Dont be afraid dear one."
I step out of my dress and enter the icy waters my slip floats around me like pale lilac glass. I can feel the creature as its hands wrap around my ankles and pulls me below the surface. My breath escapes in a rush of bubbles.
"Fear me not dear one."
The water flows over me quickly getting colder the further down we go. A gently tingling starts in my toes moving up till it is the only thing I feel.
"Breath deep dear one."
Everything in me knows I cant but I also cant go against the creature's wishes. The water fills every part of me turning my insides to ice. I squeeze my eyes shut trying to fight the feeling of suffocation.
"Look in to my eyes."
The creature's hands are on my face holding me making it so I cant look away. I open my eyes staring deep in to its silver eyes. Everything fades away.
