It was pitch black out that
night, the kind of darkness that could easily scare a
person, except for Ashley.
"Come on Emma!" she squealed, tugging on my
arm lightly.
"What do you want?" I moaned, rubbing my eyes.
I looked at my clock, sighing heavily.
"Ashley, it's two in the morning."
"no sh/t sherlock." She teased, ripping the
blankets off of me.
"We're sneaking out tonight."
I had snuck out before, but tonight felt different.
"I'm tired." I complained, burying my head
farther under a pillow.
"Stop being a baby and man up." She spat, yanking me
out of bed.
"Get your bikini on, we're going night
swimming."
I reluctantly did what Ashley wanted, sneaking out of
her house and walking to the lake nearbye.
The water felt warm but at the same time, uninviting.
I dipped my toes in, letting my feet sink into the soft sand
as Ashley dived into the water smoothly without a care.
"Come on, let's go to the dock!"
She yelled as she began moving her arms and legs briskly
through the soft waves.
I envied the way she
could make just about anything look graceful.
I scrunched my nose up, moving into the water slowly until my
waist was completely in, translucent and milky white under the
moonlight.
I paddled my body lightly until I was at the dock, and sat
next to Ashley, drying off.
She looked so pretty under the light of the moon, her
tropical blue orbs sparkling brighter than they usually did.
"I'm glad your my best friend." I whispered,
leaning my head onto her shoulder.
"I know." She said, before jumping in.
A wave of crystal like water splashed me, and I giggled, jumping
in after her.
"Race you back!" She spluttered, spitting out water as
she began swimming back.
I started swimming quickly, increasing my speed until I was much
farther past her, moving at an incredible pace.
"Looks like I won!" I laughed, reaching the shore
line.
That's when I heard her scream.
I turned, hearing Ashley struggle and call my name but
I couldn't see where she was.
"Ashley?" I asked, feeling a sharp chill running
up my spine.
"Ashley, are you okay?"
The sounds of struggle turned to silence, and there
was nothing except for the wind blowing lightly, making my
blonde locks fly around my face in a distorted fashion.
I would never see my best friend again.
She was gone.
