Fifty Eight: Dark Legacy (End of Book 1)
The water rippled.
As if a single drop of liquid had fallen three rings appeared, spreading slowly outward.
Violet froze. Her mouth was half open, locked in an expression of horrified realization.
Her eyes began to move, and the drifted up to me, bulging with terror.
Then the surface of the dark water shifted. A hand sprang out from the depths, tanned and dripping. It latched into her ankle. Another burst forth, and grabbed her thigh.
Violet screamed her body suddenly unfrozen as she turned backwards the way she had come. Her feet began to sink beneath the water, dragged slowly towards her. She tried to kick, spit flying from her lips as she screeched.
There was something in the water passed the hands that now held her. Something that terrified her to her core.
“Noooo..!” she screamed. “No I’m not… you can’t be real. You can’t be him… it's fucking impossible!"
She was babbling now as he knees sank below the waterline. She began to thrash madly, twisting, clawing at the hands that now dragged her further.
