IT FEELS LIKE I’m floating in thick water in some out of body experience?

Wait, I am floating.

Why am I lying on my back, in a swimming pool?

I order my arms and legs to move, but it feels like my muscles are locked in a straight jacket. I seem a little drunk, which is odd because I didn’t drink tonight.

“Melanie, you’ve been a bad girl.”

Someone is holding me up above the water, and I can hear a voice, but when I look up, all I see is a blank face. It’s so cold my is body shivering. I move my eyes down my body, confused as to why I have no clothes on.

Why am I floating naked in a fucking pool?

Panicking, I urge my limbs to move, but I’m really, really tired. I must be dreaming. I can’t keep my eyes open—I just need to sleep.

“Wake up, bitch.”

“Who are you?” I ask, not sure my words are coming out.

I’m finding it hard to breathe as the blank face comes into view.

“I know you’re with him slut but you were supposed to be mine. You had to go and ruin everything.”

“Chaaase,” I scream, but nothing comes out.

“Where’s your shining boyfriend now, bitch?” My body starts to thrash as hard as it can.

“I had plans for you, but you had to go and be unfaithful to me. You broke our vows.”

Vows?

What the hell is he talking about? This guy is delusional.

I squint, trying to focus. Glazing up at him, all I can think is, I’ve never seen such black, soulless eyes before.

Pure evil.

Think Melanie. If I could just fucking move.

“You betrayed me, Judas.”

I make an effort to thwart him when he places his putrid lips over mine for a wide-open-mouth-kiss. I’m going to vomit.

“You’re nothing but a whore, Melanie,” he whispers in my ear.

“Oh God, please help me.”

“And now you have to die.” His mouth curves into the smile of the devil.

“Melanie!” I swear I hear Chase’s voice screaming my name, but I’m not sure if it’s real.

“Let her go, or I’ll fucking shoot you.”

Chase?

It’s him. I know it’s him, just before my head’s thrust underneath the water.

With a sudden burst of energy, my flaccid arms and legs begin to fight against him. I open my mouth trying to draw some oxygen into my lungs only to feel the weight of water entering my esophagus.
