Summary
With few other options available to him, the boy opened his mouth to try to cry out for help, but stopped himself. The lake was empty. The area was completely closed off by oak trees, trees that were flourishing proudly- stiflingly so. Across the water was a pier crafted from beaten wooden planks. No one stood on it, and no one stood across the other end of the lake bed. There were no signs that anyone had been there for a long time. Just by looking around, anyone could see that crying out for help would be futile.
There wasn’t a point, then, was there? He should just… save the effort. Let it happen. There was no way out of this, was there? The only way to carry on was to pretend that his ankles weren’t being nipped at from the abyssal water. That his calves weren’t being swallowed by the depths. That his waist wasn’t obscured by the murk. That his neck wasn’t struggling to stay above the whispering ripples. That his grasping hands…
Welcoming fingers twined through his for just a moment, offering to pull him out.
“Hero…”
He gasped, and water filled his mouth, before he slipped away.
