    "Ok, the filming is all good" I thought to myself,"the perfect canoeing trip." I like to be organized. Probably because my dad likes the house tidy.

"Hey! You got the boat ready over their?!" I heard someone shout as she inturrupted my thoughts.

"Uh, yeah,"I called back to my friend, Jessica, who was looking at the life jacket like it was a giant bug. She's probably the risk taker of all my friends. And is probably wondering why I brought 2 life jackets.

"Ugh. Do I have to wear this stupid life jacket?"she complained.

"Yes, weve been over this a million times,"I groaned."If you don't wear it, you could possibly drown." Sometimes I wonder if I can even get through to her. Ever since she moved, she's always been closing the world as if nothing bad will happen. But not until that faithful day.

"But the same probably isn't going to happen to you, isn't it?"she retorted. I didn't reply."Is it!?"she said again louder.

Finally I gave in ,"Fine. Whatever. But if you drown, you can't haunt me for the rest of my life, okay?!" I yelled.

"Oh, yeah. Sure. Totally." she said with her fingers crossed behind her back. I don't even get her some time's. When something mean or anything rash happens, she would always just shrug it off and pretend nothing happened. Soon enough, she promptly threw our lifejackets into the river.(Did I mention she is one of the best tennis players on her team?)

  "Hey! I didn't say you could throw mine in to!" I yelled.'What the heck is wrong with this woman?'

"C'mon ,ray. Live a little. I know you paid good money on this canoe and wallet want to waste it." I swear I could punch her in the face after she said that pun. (Yes that was a pun. If you don't get it just keep on reading... Or not. I'm not forcing you.)

"I paid good money for those life jackets too"I said to myself. Luckily she didn't hear. "Well, at least we can still Rowe the canoe towards the jackets."

"Are you sure about that?" asked Jessica as she crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" I asked. She pointed at the water where she threw the jackets.  And they were sinking, pretty quickly too. "H-how is that even possible?" I said confused. 'They don't sink that quick,' I thought.

"Dunno, don't care." said Jessie in a slightly annoyed voice. "Let's just get this over with. I promised Laura I'd meet her at her place and spend the night there."

Either it was fate or just plain bad luck. What happened that day I will never forget. I knew something bad would happen, but i got in the canoe anyway.


2 hours later


'It's going good' I thought, "Time to break out the camera to record the last mile".

"Ugh. Do you seriously have to take that camera everywhere you go?" she asked

"Says the weirdo, scicopath who makes music for a living and litterlly takes her tablet and headphones where ever she goes." I said with a sleek grin on my face.

She sighed,"Tushé"

The camera was a gift from my dad. It was a high tech camera with solar panels, GPS, phone and lots more other cool stuff. I was digging through my bag when I heard... Something off.

sshhhhhhrOOOOOOEEee.....shhhhhhrOOOOOOEEee....shhhhhhrOOOOOOEEee...

"Hey do you here that?" Jess asked.

I nodded "I dont think those are rapids," I said as I pulled the camera out.

"No. You think?" she sarcastically. It was only seconds before we were starting to going faster. "Dude...It's getting louder!"she said sounding alarmed. And, surprisengly, she was right for once. I had barely heard what she had just said. Then suddenly, I saw what we were heading for.

"WHIRLPOOL!" I yelled. For a second, she didn't seem to comprehend. And then she saw it herself. I never been so terrified and neither have I seen Jessica been so scared. (I really wish couould've taken a picture so I can make fun of her.)

She immediately started to paddle backwards. "You know, it would actually be nice if you HELPED ME PADDLE!!!It'she yelled

I tried my hardest to paddle, but I knew it was already too late, we were in its grasp. It dragged us round n' round, and then straight down. Yet somehow we were upright, like gravity had somehow switched itself. My mind was trying to comprehend what I was seeing but failed. We were in a tunnel of crystal blue glass, the water sparkled and was colored purple.

'What kind of sick movie is this.' I thought 'I mean-'

My thoughts were cut off short by sudden pain all over my body. I felt my bones snap and dold themselves back together. My fingers and toes molded into...whooves! My clothes melt into my skin and turn to a flaming red fur. I couldn't move or think at all. And just as quickly as the pain appeared, it just suddenly stopped and left. I stood only for a second just to be thrown again as the tunnel dissapeared around me, along with Jessica and the canoe. I was falling straight down towards the ground. I didn't know what was happening, but I knew I needed to land somewhere. I did a quick scan of the ground and saw the only thing that might cusion my fall, it was a lake. It looked deep enough for me to dive without taking to much pain. I aimed at the pond and went into a dive. I hit the water fast and loud, but I had misjudged the depth and hit my head against a underwater rock.

'Well, I guess it cant get much worse than this,' was my last thought before I let uncounciesness take me. Who knows what will happen next.
