‘you didn’t’

‘yes I did’ I started panicking, two more meters

‘why was your wig on the ground then?’

‘because if forgot to take that off when I changed’ I lied

‘you’re lying’

‘how would you know?’

‘because when you left you had a bag’

‘how would you know?’

‘because you ran back to get the bag when you went over the fence’

“SHIT!”

‘well…’ I couldn’t think of anything

‘yeah? You have two seconds before I throw you in’ he said

I straightened my body so he was holding my legs by his chest and I was leaning on his shoulders, I looked down on him and my hair fell into his face, he shut his eyes and shook his head

‘get your hair away!’ I shook my head no which caused my hair to get over his face again, and because it was still wet it made his face wet.

‘stop it’

‘if you put me down’

‘no’

‘just do it’

‘only if you admit that you don’t want to stay here’

‘I don’t want to stay here’ he looked at me

‘what do you mean?’

‘I don’t want to stay here’ I shrugged

‘where do you want to go then?’ he asked me and his face stood suspicious

‘I’m not going to tell you’ he shook his shoulder so my hand fell off and I collapsed with his shoulder

‘ouch’

‘are you going to tell me?’

‘no’ he shook with his other shoulder and I fell on his shoulder again

‘next step is the lake’ he said threatening

‘where are you going?’ I leaned on his shoulders again and shook my head

‘I’m not going to tell you’ he bended and let me go and I didn’t struggle

‘MARCUS!’ Jacob and Samuel shouted before was completely under the water.

It was dark now and I took advantage of that I swam under water towards the other side of the lake again. I came up and took a breath, then I decided to go further, I went under water again and swam for a bit till I needed to breathe again. When I came up I heard Jacob say something

‘where is she?’ then Adam started speaking

‘she’s been under for two minutes now’

‘Marcus if she’s dead I’m going to kill you’ Samuel said to Marcus.

‘she’s not dead, don’t worry’ right when he said that I felt something on my foot, it started to go around my foot and it went higher and higher.

I tried not to scream or do anything sudden, but the thing, I presume snake, was at my knees already. 

‘no’ I whispered

‘see there she is’ Marcus said

‘Evangeline?’ Jacob said with worry in his voice

‘no’ I whispered again, the snake went higher, to my thighs and I held onto the land really tight
