Sea Angelby

Yesha Dickens

Imagine your heart beating over and over, can’t see and your eyes won’t open, you can’t feel around you but the colder it becomes the warmer you feel. Sinking and sinking the beating gets slower and slower then it stops and you wake up.

PANTS! I woke up and took a quick look . “It happened again,” I said to myself . I looked at my hands radiating as well as my body . I flapped my wings as the water followed in the opposite direction , my eyes glowed yellow as my skin scaled from top to bottom . Clothed with seaweed and alone inside myself . I couldn’t find myself …. I didn’t remember, I didn’t remember who I was, what my name was, that was it all I could remember was sinking.My brother came up to me and looked me deep in the eye. “ Same dream?” he asked as he handed me a bowl of food covered with a bubble . “Yes, although this time it was like I could feel it ” I mumbled . I took a spoonful and turned to look at the fishes passing by , “ Where are they going brother ?” . My brother turned to the fishes and sighed “ No one knows they’re path depends on who they follow and how tenacious they are . You see that fish at the back , if they were ever to come across a dangerous path that one would be the 1st to get affected or to affect the others. It all depends on him to focus on what really matters, which is his and the others' lives”.

I turned away from him and continued with my day . It would be simple if we were actually related then he could tell me who I was but sadly we were not related. He is like a brother to me . I swam off into the darkest depth of the sea and curled up in a ball and closed my eyes being the only light in that area surrounded by darkness , crawly creatures hid behind sharp rocks as the tight space closed in on me and it went dark . I opened my eyes and everything was back to normal , I wasn’t crushed neither was it dark it was normal. I decided to take a look at the surface to clear my mind . “ I can never find a safe spot ” I whispered as my lips tightened up and then I swam up to the surface releasing a loud scream from deep within me , the sound raged the oceans and who lingered beneath me and above. A boat dashed past me leaving me petrified. My heart began beating rapidly. I began remembering the dream , thoughts breaking me from the inside “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I let out a scream from the top of my lungs then the boat stopped and a man turned to me and smiled “Who are you ?” he asked as his smile faded.

He was quite strange. He didn't have any scales nor wings neither did he glow. Instead he wore a long sleeved gray top and a blue vest . His skin was similar to a pale peach jelly fish , his eyes were hazel brown like the most adorable sea snail and his lips were bubble gum pink . I shook myself and told myself to focus . Why did this man's boat produce the same sound that caused me to sink into my emotion? I needed to find out why . “Ananiah” I spoke, taking the 1st name that came into my mind. “ Well Ananiah, what are you doing this far from the shore?” he asked, looking as confused as I was . “ What are you talking about, this is where everyone is ?” . He laughed and offered me a ride, could he not see I was different ?This was very odd .

We rode back to the place he came from called Florida , as my feet touched the warm sand it felt so good I just wanted it to bury me in a good way I had never felt so much heat on my skin before water was pouring out of my body and I couldn’t help it but to fall in love . “ What is this place ?” I questioned . “ It’s a beach ?” he answered. I sat down on the sand and looked at the sky. The sun shone brightly as the sky was coloured pink and blue, the clouds passed by the sun as it shined beautifully . The waves tried to grab hold of me but they couldn’t , I had never felt this safe in a long time . Tears began pouring down my face as the sky grew dim. The boy turned to me “ Are you O-” I lunged at him and hugged him my heart couldn’t take it anymore . I had let fear control me my whole life, let it suck me into this way of thinking , thinking that the world was a dark room that only 1 tiny light bulb could support me and the worst part was that even now seeing this I still believed this . He fell onto the sand with me on him . Shocked as he was, he took one look at my face and he hugged me and it felt so good, sure I had been hugged before but in this moment it was necessary . He told me it was time for him to go home and I immediately got up ,I quickly wiped my face off and stood there awkwardly “ I’m sorry that was um… uncalled for ”I said awkwardly, wiping my nose off and sniffling . He looked down at me with pity “ No you’re fine , I can tell you needed that ” he answered with a beaming smile on his face . He didn’t need to be like me to radiate.

I followed him to his house till we got there and when we did I was at a loss for words…

You stumble over to the phone and dial the number “911”. You speak to the operator for a few minutes and then they ask you to hide under a bed. You bring the phone upstairs and lean down and squeeze yourself under your bed. You breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the police are on their way. You hear a laughing noise.

You roll over and see a terrifying, disturbing creature with a smile almost consuming it’s whole face.The monster puts it long, cold, bloody finger into your mouth touching your teeth. It tears the flesh surrounding your lips up until your ear. The same is done on the the other side of your face. Blood is rushing out of the tears on your face running into your eyes. You can only see blood and feel the excruciating pain coming from both sides of your face. “YOU WILL

SMILE NOW WONT YA?” says the monster. The police arrive a few minutes late. You had already bled to death. There was no evidence of a intruder in the house. Soon after, there were more reports of the same thing happening to other people. These cases are still unsolved, but they are not closed.
