Iris:
She tilted her head to show she had acknowledged my gaze, then let out a small snicker. There was pain in it, the pain of betrayal, anger, disbelief.
"Looking at my legs, huh? Are you wondering where my tail is?" she asked in a mesmerizing yet creepy tone that sent goosebumps across my skin.
Her lips curled as she continued to stare, distracting me.
Before I could react or answer, she lunged forward, her hand slamming against my shoulders and forcing me back.
Cold water rushed into my ears and consumed me. I sank for a few seconds, my body twisting as panic surged through me.
I kicked hard and pushed upward, breaking the surface before my lungs gave out.
I sucked in air sharply and wiped my hands over my face, clearing the water from my eyes.
I ran a hand through my hair to move it off my face, taking deep breaths to steady myself.
She was already in front of me again, but this time anger radiated from her skin.
