The Battle of Sea Salt Bay

For once, Corrine actually felt scared. Not only did the rumor sound true, it seemed likely that it could happen again. Everything seemed to connect; the girl dying, the animals making a racket, the place of where it happened.

"I-I mean, maybe it was just a coincidence! This place is beautiful after all. All the nature and such must attract them, right? It certainly does attract me." She shrugged it off with a chuckle. Her heart sank when she looked up at the sky to see a round, milky moon. His legends could have been true.

"Rolo! You got me all scared! These rumors cant be true! They're just stories! O-oh dear..." Corrine whimpers. She heard a small crack coming from a bush and quickly hid herself in Rolo's arms. Her imagination ran wild. Maybe it was one of the coyotes or crows Rolo was talking about. She didn't want to stay and find out if it was going to hurt her.

The Battle of Sea Salt Bay

@TwelveOf8 I know... I'm so excited to see what comes next! Well, until your next reply!

@TwelveOf8 Ah yes. I remember.

The Battle of Sea Salt Bay

Drat! Avoided again! The third time hadn't worked it's charm. Maybe the fourth time would do it?

"O-oh! Really? What is it? I don't believe in rumors like that but... I guess I could give it a shot!" It was true. Her father forced her to only believe in reality along with the rest of her brothers. That meant no Santa Claus, tooth fairy, Easter bunny or any type of fairy tale. Urban legends were just rumors spread by locals to scare children, her father always said. You should only believe in facts, they'll guide you in life.

She brushed off what her father taught her and decided to listen to his tale. Well, half listen. She needed to ask him! It was eating her alive!

Corrine laughs.

"Oh, Rolo! Ghosts aren't real! Its all just a fairytale! It's a shame that story had such a sad ending. And that this place isn't very popular. But I really liked your story! I guess that just means this spot is for the taking now, huh?" She sighed happily. She felt something churn in her gut. She felt like she was forgetting something. A few things actually. What could they have been? She thought and thought. Until she remembered her question. The thing she wanted to ask Rolo all night!

"Hey, Rolo? Um, could I ask you a question? I've been wondering about something for awhile now. It's been bugging me all day. I tried asking you earlier but I got too scared or distracted. Well I guess now that we're here and all... I can ask you. I-If you want! I mean, if you feel uncomfortable I won't push you! Honest!" She blurts out.

Her face turns red. Shes normally much more composed than that. She felt so embarrassed. What was wrong with her? Why was she making things so complicated?!
