I won't go down without a fight (OPEN)

I stay far from the water, the waves are dangerous. Every slight movement upon the rolling water sends my head spinning into a flurry. Did a monster just capture another victim? Did a sea serpent eat Kayle? They lurk beneath the menacing sea, beady eyes waiting for another mindless human to leap into the water with open arms. They won’t ever claim me, no I will never give into them.

I was supposed to take Kayle to swimming today, it’s why I was stuck on the side of the most awful place in the world, forced to watch my sister flounder around in the open waters. She’s not afraid like me; her defiance radiates around her small figure and tells the monstrosities under the waves to flee in her presence. She is powerful, more powerful than anyone I know. My little sister even tried to drown me once in the same District 4 waters. She is a monster herself, to the sea she belongs.

I try to look away and see the birds that are perched in the small, broken trees. Yellow feathers spotted with blue and orange as music comes from their silvery beaks. Ever since my bond broke with my sister, birds have been one way to bring myself back down to earth again. They respected me, the air, the quiet tone of my flitting voice. And as I began to turn back around, it was then that I saw a girl.

She was hurling herself down the pier, arms outstretched and head tilted back to the sun. How could she be so fearless, running like that over open water? I wanted to warn her, quickly, about the things that lay under there, I didn't want to watch her suffer.

"Stop," I called out, my soft voice barely reaching to where she was. "Please stop, their going to eat you." Then the girl jumped, she did not heed my warning nor take the simplest of acknowledgments to it at all. What a foolish little girl.

( I'm sorry its so short >.< )
