**Legends say that whoever stepped foot in this lake would go missing just a day after, no investigator, detective, or cop could figure out why. My friends and I decided to visit this lake during our spring break to see if the legends were true, though I wasn’t very keeen on discovering if they were true but I didn’t want to seem like a coward so I reluctantly agreed.**

**“Who’s stepping in first?” Diana asked confident. **

**Everyone’s eyes fell on me who stood near the car which was closer to the road than the lake, I looked around in realization that I had to step in. Of course it had to be me, the person who disagreed to do this. I sighed reluctantly and walked down towards Diana and Gina a look of annoyance and worry crossed my face as I looked down at the disgusting water you couldn’t even see through it. “Why do I have to go first?” I whined stepping back on the dock looking back at them.**

**“Because the scaredy cats have to go first! Don’t be a pussy!” Yelled Frankie. I shot him a glare before looking at the water I groaned and reached my foot to feel the water before cold hands roughly pushed me into the dirty water, I started to freak out grabbing onto anything that will keep me stable. I found a railing and climbed out onto the deck coughing up the water that seeped into my mouth and throat I heard faint laughs and felt anger grow. “What the hell?! You guys think that’s funny?” I yelled and rubbed my eyes to rid of the water and I looked up to see no one, no Diana, no Gina, no Frankie.**

**“Whatever sick game you guys are playing isn’t funny!! Where are you guys!? Diana? Frankie? Gina?” I called out anger took over and I stopped up the dock the car was gone I wondered into the road no cars where insight not a human either, nothing but silence; I walked around only to find myself back at the lake feeling frustrated I stomped my way back onto the dock I couldn’t see past the trees.**

**I then heard slow music behind me I turned around to a graveyard with everyone I knew there including Diana, Gina, and Frankie, a funeral? I wasn’t dead!? So I thought until they opened a casket I quickly ran up to the jet black casket only to see my face. My skin pale and clammy, my eyes pure white and looked to be irritated around them, my hair was thrown over my shoulders, a black dress was also on me. I was right here alive and well? Right?**

****

****

**Trying to get their attention I screamed and waved though nothing seemed to be working, maybe I was dead later that day the funeral for me seemed to be over everyone had gone home. I walked up to the tombstone and crouched to see it more clearly, my eyes widened as I seen it. It had been 5 years since I passed!?**

**_Since that day no one knows why I went missing._******
