Horror+-+Hide+and+Shriek

He had always liked to play his game of Hide and Shriek. The rules were always easy to follow, but the first thing he always did was find the right person and the right place. He had already set his eyes on the cute, blond girl he saw on the street a couple of days ago. Her name was Alicia. She had a pair of long, slender legs and a cute, small but tight waist. Whenever she laughs, her blue eyes sparkled, along with her thin rose red lips and hands that will always move as she talks. He had been watching her for a couple of days and he decided he wanted to //play// with her.
 * __ Hide and Shriek __**

“//Too bad for you pretty girl,”// he said in a throaty whisper//, “you’re now officially part of my little game//.”

Alicia was out on a starless night with her boyfriend, one of the popular guys in her school. The young fellow was twenty-one, just about the same age as she was. She was wearing a pair of yellow boardshorts that was covered with a pattern of red flowers that matched her lips…her boyfriend had suggested it. Holding hands, they prepared to dive into the deep dark pool…

“//Let’s start the game, shall we…”//

They swam together in the water…

“//Got you!”//

Her boyfriend was drowning, she didn’t know why, but he was drowning. As much as she wanted to try and help him, all Alicia could do was freeze in terror as she watched her boyfriend trying to take gulps of air. Whatever could she do? No one was there to help them. She could feel the tears beginning to form and finally running down her cheeks in cold and hard rushes.

He was drowning, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. He could not scream, he could not breathe. With each second that passed by, he felt himself being pulled toward death itself. He could feel something around his left leg as the waves of pain spread through his body. He tried to warn his girlfriend, tried to warn her to get out of the water, to save herself…but it was too late.

//“You’re next, pretty girl…”//

Her heart was beating so fast that she thought it was going to swell up in her chest and burst right out. She was shaking all over, and could see the veins on her arms getting very tense…

He swam closer to the girl, trying to get a closer look at her tight waist and smiling with pride. //“It’s too late for you now, Alicia… Now I’m here, there’s nowhere to run, and now there’s nowhere to hide.”//

Her heart skipped double beats. She felt herself being pulled down, down, to the endless world of water where her freedoms would be gone. Water flowed past her chin…she tried to take a deep breath as the water rose up over her nose. Then she was under the surface of the water. Alicia was close to death, she couldn’t cry, she couldn’t scream, she couldn’t breathe. Finally, without the will to fight it, her mouth slowly opened and water started to fill her up. Her eyes closed and her lips turned pale. All she could see was the stars in front of her, and those bloodshot eyes…

The two bodies slowly floated lifelessly on the surface of the water, glittering, glowing, and casting dancing shadows.
