My lungs felt like they were ready to burst, my limbs lethargic from the icy water, and the pressure in y body just kept growing- [i]Open up. Take a breath. Let it all in. That's all you need. You wanted this a moment ago, right...?[/i]

But before I could open my mouth something pulled at my shoulders, above to the infinite sky of stars-  I coughed and hacked and retched as I was pulled to the surface, fighting and struggling- it took me some time to realize that I was no longer below the waves, to relax, to force myself to be still- isn't that what they always taught people as a kid? That if you thrashed you'd only get drug under by the waves? You wouldn't be able to float?

Once I had control of my body, I slowly turned, carefully treading water so as not to slip below once more... only to come face to face with someone I barely knew. Alex. There she is, looking more radiant than I've ever seen her in life, almost glowing, moonlight glistening off of her wet skin and her soaked oufit, and a placid smile plastered across her face.

Okay, maybe that last part wasn't very attractive. Honestly, it was kind of off putting for a few reasons, not the least of which that I'd never seen her like that, ever. She'd always looked... well, almost scared. At the very least, not half as confident and powerful as she stood here.

And then she opened her mouth, and a voice filled with sheer love and happiness spilled out. [i]"Kill me."[/i[

"What...?" I couldn't believe my ears, and even as I reached up to my face to rub the water out of my eyes she grabbed my hands, pulling them up towards her face...

My fingers poke into her skin, and a small drop of blood rolls down.

Deep, deep in, to the bones of her cheek, her hands pushing mine further and further in

I can only stare as I rip and tear at the face, unpeeling it from her, the blood dripping into the ocean and dispersing as my hands bring her face to mine, overlapping it, pressing in...

My body starts to change and shift to Alex's, as her skull tilts on it's neck, jutting out from what remains of her head...

[i]"Kill me, and take my place. Forever."[/i]
