Story draft 3#

It had been years, it seemed, since the sun shone like this. The sunny weather had drawn many out of dark places, to frolic by the lake. I had been the only one who had objected. I was new here and the only thing i wanted to do was read inside. Away from the brightness and noise. But of course, my one and only friend Vanessa convinced me it was now or never to get a tan. And I really needed it. She also mentioned all the other sophomores who might be there, but i don't consider that a factor to make me want to go by the lake.
And now here i was, with my unusually bronzed skin in a borrowed swimsuit. where I'm from Swimsuits are not needed. Living In Alaska for all sixteen years of my life had drastically altered my outlook on sunny weather. I was wearing a sparkly canary yellow strapless bikini. And I was feeling a little to porn star for the beach. Vanessa wore a bright pink and black monokini with leopard print on it. We were getting many stares. Especially me, I was new, and people were used to Vanessa and here bleach blond hair, tan skin and bright colored clothes. Seeing a half Italian, half puertorican girl next to her was something new to this small town. Vanessa and i lay side by side on my coca cola Holiday towel, part of our bodies sliding off the edges. She wore large round Chanel sunglasses, while i boasted classic ray bans. A few boys who were playing Frisbee by the shore. They seemed roughly our age, maybe a year older. The all wore surf shorts, and aviators, most of them had shaggy hair and were nicly buff and the sun had tanned many on the ridges of their abbs. I noticed Vanessa staring relentlessly and slightly smirking. All of them seemed like the same to me, but out of the corner of my eye one cuaght my eye. He was slimmer than the rest had shorter black hair, and seemed slightly indifferent than the usual white boys there. He had a ciggerette dangeling from the side of his mouth and i never saw him smile. Vanessa seemed to be watching him the most, running her eyes up and down him. I swear if she were a guy, everyone would call her a perv. There Frisbee had drifted beyond there reach and landed on my flat stomach as i lay day dreaming. I blushed at the sudden attention to my body. and to me. Vanessa was pleased at the excuse for the guys to come stumbling over to interact with us. All the guys were familiar with Vanessa, but only one was remotely friends with her. I lifted the Frisbee off my stomach pulled myself up to our visitors and handed it to them, As the guys saw me closer, they exchanged glances and I heard I chorus of "woahs"
"Vanessa, who's your friend?" The obvious leader of their group asked. This boy, was grinning ear to ear. His hair was a sandy blonde. His eyes blue green almost violet colored. He was beautiful. But Vanessa was interested in the one i had looked at.
"Danny, this is Naomi. She's new here just moved here from Alaska."
Something about the way she said Alaska made me cringe, she emphasized it while smirking.
"Hey! I'm Danny! Welcome to the best place you'll ever move to."
Then he leaned in close to my ear, " 'cause I'm here."
Vanessa smiled knowingly. The other guys all gathered around us fighting over who got to sit by me. And asked me all kinds of questions. The first one was if I had a boy friend.
No I didn't have one. I had one. My serious one. Hes back in Alaska now though. Never to see me again. I had no idea how i was fitting in here, but i was. But one guy sat silently, to the side turned toward the water, preoccupied with his thoughts. I wondered if he was really so silent. Or if it was an act he put up. Eventually Vanessa got up and sat next to him. i found this puzzling. And now alone with all these guys i got a little nervous.
before I could react to this new environment, I heard a scream that gave me chills like my whole body was freezing over. It came from Vanessa.
"What is that thing!"
Vanessa was standing up now moving slowly towards our group. The boy she sat with was in front of her acting as a shield.
At the scream many children on the beach had started screaming and tripping to get away over sand castles. I looked for what they were running from, the boys had gotten in front of all the children protecting them. We were the adults here. We were the protectors. All the adults were working so it was our job to keep an eye out for our sisters brothers, and their friends.
An suddenly from the corner of my eye bare flesh glistened in the sun, slick and smooth from water. It's legs extended long, like birch trees, and two brown yellow claw like nails dug out his paws or hands, It walked on all fours its puss like body wobbling him. All this distortment made It look in pain. My eyes met his eyes. His head was round and droopy and caked around his eyes. His round seal like eyes, were canny with sorrow and anguish. This creature was unbelievably lost and confused. As he looked back into my eyes, he paused.
He looked back and with nonchalant paces bounded towards me. I didn't react. I wasn't scared. His face was expressionless. But then, he stumbled fell to the ground. He had been hit by a large stone, and was whimpering and snorting at this blow to his head. Other children rushed over with rocks and began killing him savagely. He struggled under, and whined like a puppy. My heart melted. His eyes cringed as his flash was pulled apart. His mangled body was strewn into the now threateningly dark waves. Someone grabbed my hands and led me away. I looked back, and his now dull eyes still seemed to be searching for me.
