Elise kept herself up, even though she was tired, and needed sleep, she wanted to see the full moon tonight. Her parents would come into her room at eleven o'clock to see if she was asleep, so she had to wait for the right moment to sneak out of the house and run to the forest for a better view.
At twelve o'clock, it was dead silent in the house, Elise jumped out of her bed as silent as she could, but it was hard cause it was so exciting. She then jumped out of her window and landed on the ground, a perfect landing if she should say so herself. She ran all the way to the forest, just the thought of how pretty the moon would be, was enough to make her run even faster.
she stopped at an old tree to get some air after running all she could.
She looked up at the stars, with eyes shining, but that glow would soon go out, and as she took one step, she heard a noise. " help!" help me!" Elise stopped up, to be sure that it was not her own imagination, but really a girl's cry for help.
when she heard it again, but lower this time, she rushed to where the cry could be heard loudest.
the sight she saw was breathtaking. It was a large waterfall, with water as clear as the blue sky, but the bottom of the water was dark and mysterious.
she was ripped out of her daydreaming and gaze when she heard the little girl's cry, but this time, it was like she was underwater, Elise looked down the water, and saw bubbles of air.
She had no time to think, it was like her body moved on its own, she dived to the bottom, but found nothing but seaweed, she then swam up to the top again.
There was dead silent, no wind, no sound and not the girl's cry. It was like time stood still.
Elise was about to go out of the water when something grabbed her foot and pulled her down. She didn't even have time to breathe.
The thing pulled her to the bottom. She was in the pitch-black water, that was ice cold, with no chance of coming up to the surface. She tried hopelessly to move but was only wasting oxygen.
Her sight darkened, as she suffocated, at the blink of death she made a wish and an apology to her mother and father for being too curious. " I wish I could see the moon for one last time, and the next time to be the moon itself, And I am sorry mom and dad for always being too curious and always making you worry about me" she took her last time to think of the things she loved the most in this world, end she wished to be reborn in the moon, and as she died a white light came shining down on the forever sleeping girl.
