In fact, it was just plain stupid, but I didn ’t care. I ’d gladly face whatever was there to find the missing pieces of my life. My anger and determination w ere leading the way. When I got there, I found myself near the pool of water. It was beautiful and mesmerizing . The light beamed at just the right ang le to produce the colors that it reflected, giving me a tranquil feeling. It was hard to imag ine such beauty could also be so dea d ly . I recalled the water being acidic. Just for fun , I threw a pebble in. It sizzled and disappeared. Yup! Having c onfirmed that it was dangerous, I walked away. I sat on a small boulder a nd gazed around, hoping to fi nd something—anything. Will ing my bow and keepin g it close to me, I moved about as quietly as I could. There was someone t here , I was sure of it. I leaped from one boulder to another checking my surroundings, then decided to take a rest since I di dn ’t find anyone snooping .
