Something new.
I ran through the woods and an umbelievable pace. I heard him catching up to me. I pushed my legs to go faster.The clearing was in sight.
” Your almost there come you can make it. Push it! ” I thought to myself.
I was looking at the ground now. I could see his shoes to my right he was cathing me and with the clearing about 20 yards in front of meI had to make it. I couldnt let him catch me. I pushed my body even faster. My breath was very shallow but when I made it to the clearing I could stop. He faded from my vission and I could hear him laughing.
” Only a few more feet come on ” I pushed myself.
I lunged foward to the clearing and landed in the middle.
” YES! ” I shouted.
Then his body hit mine. Shoving me about 5 feet forward into the lake with him on top of me. When I resurfaced I saw him on the edge of the lake laughing. I swam to the edge and sat next to him.
” You owe me ” I said
” Aw come on wasn’t that swim enough “
Humor filled his eyes. I laughed and so did he.
” No, you owe me. “
” Fine what do you want. ”
” I want you to show me exactly what your world is like. “
He looked at me.
” You want me to show you the dangers of my world? To risk your life? Even taking you below the surface of the ocean is dangerous. I couldnt possibly take you to my refuge. “
“You owe me though and Thats what I want. “
” But, I dont want to be the one to risk your life “
” Take me, please just show me. “
He sat very still.
” Ok, If you want to know the dangers, lets go..I will no longer place nice guy.”
With that He gripped my arm tightly and drug me back into the lake. Never to return to the surface.
