THE WATER BABY CHAPTER ONE

It all started on a hot day in July. My baby sister, Sophia, had died of cot death, and Mum and I went to the funeral. Everyone at the funeral was crying - except for me. You see, before Sophia was born, Mum and I were close, and since Sophia was born, all we ever do is argue with each other.So, in a way, even though it seems wrong to say it, I was kind of glad Sophiahad died.

After the funeral, Mum and I came home, and Mum headed straight for her bedroom. After a couple of hours of trying to coax her out, I finally gave up and, grabbing a coat on the way, I headed out the door and out for a stroll.

My stroll took me to the pretty little pond Mum used to take me to when I was younger. I hadn't been there since Sophia was born, and it brought back happy memories for me.
I spent ages at the pond, watching the dragonflies flitter about, and chucking stones, when, suddenly, I saw something in the water...
