I woke up on the grass. What was I doing on the grass? Oh yeah, Leo bit me. Something about payment for looking after me. So I was a burden to them. Annie was over there with them and they looked deep in conversation. I took the chance whilst I could. I had to cover my mouth so I didn't scream when I saw the dead wolf. I knew who it was but it was still scary to think that someone could do that. When I was sure no one was looking, I ran. We were in the front garden, so I ran through the forest. If I remembered right, then there was a beach to the right of the castle. I headed off in that direction, hoping that I would get to the beach.
I carried on running for what seemed like forever when I got hit by a saltiness in the air. I must be close. Just a little further and I found it. The beach. For the first time I was at the beach. Nice golden sand and a blue sea that was shining in the sun. I stood there watching the waves roll on the sand and further down see families playing and having fun. One was having a picnic and it looked perfect. The Perfect family with the perfect day out to the beach. The air was salty but also refreshing. I took my shoes and socks off that Annie had let me borrow. I took a step on the sand and it was warm. Not to hot and also not to cold. It felt like I was stepping on sugar, only it was smaller. It felt amazing and I couldn't help but wiggle my toes in it. I took a slow walk to the sea. I sat down close enough to the water so my feet would get wet, but far enough away that nothing else would get wet. I sat down with my legs to my chin. Just watching the waves was calming and made everything fade away. I could stay here forever, watching the waves roll on the beach. He water was clear and I could see the stone and shells. It was amazing. I picked up a smooth stone and fiddled with it in my hands. I don't know how much time passed because I was lost in my thoughts. Thoughts of a better life. One where I could run away from all of this. They only way out is in at the moment. In to the sea and never return. I looked at the sea. Would this finally kill me? hadn't I had enough pain in my life? I couldn't swim so I would drown pretty much straight away. The water was coming closer to me because the tide was coming in. "What you doing down here?" Someone said. I saw Annie walking towards me. they found me again. Maybe I should stop taking breaks. That way I'll die of exhaustion. I looked back to the sea when she sat down next to me. she didn't say anything for a couple of minutes. She just looked deep in thought like me. Did she have the same problems when she found out? I mean I've known about the supernatural for a couple of years now and it was horrible for me. Annie told me how she found out and it was just as bad. "I came here too when I first found out." Annie said and I looked at her. She told me that this was her thinking place. She spent days here thinking about everything. Thinking about what she was going to do about Tristian and everything else. This is where she came up with her conditions. She said that people tend to make the right decisions on this beach. I had made a decision here. Was it the right one? "What's your decision?" She asked looking at me.
"Death." I replied and didn't look at her. I knew she would be disappointed. She would also be upset which is why I couldn't face her. "Why?" She asked breaking the silence.
"I'm tired." I replied and got up. I started to walk into the sea. I heard Annie shouting behind me telling me to stop and shouting for Tristian and Leo to help. I kept going further and further in until I was waist deep. The guys were coming out of the forest now and coming to me. I kept going deeper and now I was almost completely submerged. I took one quick look behind me and carried on. I took my last breath and went in. I couldn't keep my eyes open because of salt in the water. I didn't try fighting and I just kept walking despite not being able to breath. It was getting harder to breath. Finally I let go and started to float down. It was peaceful. I finally got my wish. I could finally die and all this would be over. I am so tired of everything. Now I can sleep in peace. With no chance of ever waking up again. I saw a shadow but it should be too late to save me. Hopefully.
