We had to escape our home to come here. Me and my horse, Shadow. Nobody agreed or allowed me to come to this waterfall. “Have you not heard the curse?” They would say.

See way back in the 90s, there was and old curse that circled around, about this waterfall:

Don't go chasing waterfalls

Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.

Nobody knew what would happen if you visited the waterfall, but it’s said you would be cursed if you visited. Because another one of the waters victims... whatever that means? But I wanted to know, I was curious? What’s so dangerous about a waterfall?

“I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all... but I think you're moving too fast” my mother screamed as a sprint off on my horse. Through the moss green forest, the trees towering over me. It was so magical, so beautiful, so peaceful. And before you know it, my eyes are greeted with the most elegant waterfall.

The aqua water was the most pleasant sight I had ever seen. I gaze up at the water tumbling down the rock and into the pool of water close to me. I run my fingers through my horses mane, and rest my head on his neck.

“Good boy!” I sigh slightly out of breath. “We made it!”

I stumble of my horse and collapse on the slime green grass, and gently dip my hand into the midnight water. All of a sudden, this beautiful mermaid jumps out of the water. I scream as I fall back slightly on the grass. Shadow is spooked slightly.

“It’s okay,” the mermaid reassures as she swims to the edge of the water, her candy pink hair dancing in the water. “What’s your name?”

“Zella”

“What a gorgeous name! I’m Pandora!” She smiles “why are you here?”

“I heard this place was cursed or something, I wanted to see it for myself!”

Pandora laughs “sweetheart, there is no curse here... it’s magical!”

“I never believed the curse anyway!” I say beginning to relax

“If you walk through the waterfall, there is a whole world nobody knows about! I mean look at that waterfall, does it look “cursed” to you?” She questions leaning closer .

I turn my head, mesmerised my the beautiful colours cascading down the rocks. But before I had time to respond, Pandora pulls me into the water. I try to fight her off, but it’s no use.

I drowned.

The waterfall is cursed, decorated with sirens disguised as mermaids.
