The water was deep and frosty in the cool winter chill. ?Its crystal clear surface, untouched by the bitter wind, reflected the wintry scene above of moonlight and snow covered trees perfectly. ?Not a drop of ?snow or ice on the banks surrounding the pond touched the smooth and flawless surface of the water. ?Not a single ripple or wave stroked its beautiful surface. ?In short, the tiny pond that sat in the middle of the forest was perfect in every way.
?“Relax, Cami. ?Drowning won’t be that painful. ?Besides, if this works-and it will, I’ll be just fine.” ?Caleb, like always, was being a stupid, fat-headed idiot. ?He knew that there would be no way he would ever survive if he jumped into the freezing water: it just like the windwas just too cold. ?He would die in less than a minute after he jumped, but that was what he was counting on. ?He wanted, desperately, to die.

?“Caleb, don’t be an idiot,” I pleaded with him from where he had me chained to a dying oak tree beside the water. ?“just like the windCaleb!” I called, but he was too busy tying a fifty pound weight to even bother and answer. ?Geesh, what was with his suicidal self?
?“Cami, come on. ?You know what is going to happen.” ?Yes, I did know what was going to happen, even better than he. ?“You’ve seen it before. ?I’m going jump in and die, but I will come back when my magic powers save me.” ?See what I mean? ?Magic powers?
Trying to persuade some sense into his little brain, I told him the truth, or as much of it as I could.
?“Caleb… you don’t have magical powers. ?You’re too old to believ
