Living in a small village is nice, calm, no loud sounds, knowing practically everyone and not having to worry about being kidnapped on your way home.

The village was next to a pond and obviously urban legends were many about it. Who said long ago a killer drowned a girl and since then the her soul haunted the pond or things like this due to the fact that many said that while they were walking nearby the could hear a girl’s voice or the water moving like someone was swimming in it.

You didn’t believe such things, even if it was really a ghost, they aren’t made of anything, they can’t touch or hurt you anyway. After a long day you decided to go to the pond to calm your nerves.

You sat on the ground, a bit far away from the pond, with your book, enjoying the sweet breeze, the relaxing sound of the water…

After not too much you started hearing some more loud noises coming from the water, as if someone was in there…Probably a fish. From then the noises were more often until you look up from your book to see a head peaking out of the water. It looked like a young girl. Very long black hair that fell on her shoulders, wet from the water, an orange like skin and wide yellow eyes staring at you curiously. She had gills and some lotus flower on her hair. She stared at you and your book, trying to figure out what was it or who you were.
