---- The water was cold as ice and the visibility was getting conpromised.

But surprisingly she didn't feel afraid right now.

The reason was unknown to her.

Maybe it was a Childs instinct of feeling closer to its mother, or because she was dead already.

And then as the seconds slipped by, the bubbles escaping her lips stop.

Her innocent brown eyes go still.

Nothing.

The stillness welcomes her.

Am I dead? Why wasn't there any darkness to engulf me this time? Her body felt light as weather, and her mind slowly started shutting down.noveldrama

The hope of the darkness embracing her, slowly starts fading away and she was coming to terms with her end.

---- ee = Dark spots start entering her vision and she could hear her every heart beat slower than earlier.

Her eyes were dropping under the weight of water, and she was going to let go when suddenly she felt something like a shadow move around her unnaturally, flickering as if alive, reaching for her with tendrils of pure black.

It gripped around her ankles and pulled her even deeper into the darkness A slow numbness crept over her, and her mind felt heavy, thoughts dissolving like ink in water.

Yet even as her body faltered, she didnt fight.

A dark tendrils wraps around her neck, while the other binds around her arms and waist.

A third one comes and wraps around her lips.

Stopping her from breathing She thrashed, cried, her tears mingle with the ice cold waters but the darkness showed her no mercy.

Slowly the tendrils even wrap around her eyes and she cold feel it slithering on every inch of her skin.

She thrashed, squirming against it but to no avail Surrender.

The voice warns and Zariyan let's go.
