Epilogue
Star West and Mrs Lock both clutched onto the rotted wood of the pier, desperately searching the still waters of Sliver Lake for their loved ones. Bubbles pierced the surface and Mrs Lock cried out with relief.
“Bobby!” Her son thrashed closer until he was in touching range, his mother scooped him out and held his wet body to her, weeping with joy, it seemed Gareth had given his life for his son’s. But none of that mattered to Star at the minute, she had to find Sam.
A dark form washed ashore yards from where they were, Star ran as fast as her legs would carry her. “Sam!” He was soaked through and coughing, spluttering for life.
“Remind me never to do that again!” He called out to her in a rough tone, as she dashed across the sand towards him. Star skidded to a stop.
“No.” She breathed as the man in black, who had been plaguing her dreams and every waking second materialised behind her brother. Sam’s side lopped grin feel when he saw his sister’s frozen expression of terror.
Star watched unable to move with fear, as the spectre placed a hand on Sam’s shoulder. “Please…” She begged stumbling forwards, the dark clad figure grinned at her and a shier ripped through her spine.
“No!” She screamed, her voice seemed to echo in her ears as the deadly vision vanished, along with her brother.
Star West was all alone…
