EXCERPT
“This freakin’ rocks!” Lisa zipped
by again, spraying diamonds of water all over me. I gripped hard on the rod and
stood up to keep the fishing line from snagging on her or the jet-ski. The boat
pitched, dipping. I shuffled to regain my balance then turned to give Lisa a
piece of my mind. In that nano-second the fishing line snapped. I spun around
and tumbled nose first over the top of Koko. My rod splashed into the water in front
of me as if I’d thrown it.
Instant coldness prickled through
me, but I didn’t want to lose that fishing pole. I dove a little deeper,
waiting for the water to settle. The sun illuminated beneath the surface and
made it easy to see the rod leaning against a big rock right below me. I swam
toward it.
A curl of water slid along my arm
as something swam near me. I expected the lunker fish, the big guy that snapped
the fishing line, but instead, I stared at two round black eyes. I couldn’t
look away from its flat green face, the size of a baseball, with small slits
for nostrils and a wider slash for its mouth. Short tubular ears stuck out from
each side of its head. Not any kind of fish or amphibian I’d ever seen.
It stared back at me and moved
closer.
When it touched my arm, I screamed.
A stream of bubbles flushed out of my mouth, blinding my vision. I pushed off
from the huge rock with my feet and fought my way to the surface.
Air, I needed air.
Koko’s paws churned through the
water just above me. His nails scratched across my cheek as I surfaced.
“Koko, get back, buddy,” I
croaked, sucking in air, and then I nudged him to move back. But I didn’t want
him too far away. My mind flashed to the thing beneath the water, greenish body,
short arms and legs, and a long lizard-like tail. But those black eyes…the way
it stared at me, almost like it had intelligence.
DK Davis writes YA sci-fi,
supernatural, and fantasy with a good dollop of all the relationships woven in
between. When she’s not writing, editing, or reading, she’s hiking, RV’ing,
fishing, spending time with grandchildren or her favorite muse (her husband) in
Southwest Michigan.
