Ariana POV
A few days later, Ariana gasped as she, her aunt and uncle, and Elina put up beach umbrellas at the edge of a brilliant crystal lake. "This is more spectacular than anything I've ever seen."
Dimitri smiled. "It's called Gracegar Lake."
"Grayscar?"
"No." He pointed to the sign in English, Greek, Italian, and Vampire. "Gracegar Lake. The locals call it Moonglow Lake. It looks moonlit even in the daytime. There are some species of lake algae that glow--"
"Oh, phosphorescent algaei!" Ariana's eyes lit up.
Dimitri smiled. "Yes. Although ..." he lowered his voice. "Some say this lake is haunted."
Ariana jabbed him with her sharp elbow. "Shh."
He laughed, wrapping an arm around her, and jerking his head at Sally and Bill, who were spreading out the blankets. They took off their coverups and raced to the beautiful lake.
Dimitri's eyebrows wiggled in excitement, and he pulled off his own coverup.
