The mysterious thing that had taken a hold of her did not show any signs of letting go of her just yet. It was moving side to side and was not about to get back into the water just yet. Even though Bethany was clueless as to what had grabbed her, she knew it was crucial for her to stay on her surfboard. If she fell into the water, she would have to worry about drowning on top of all this.

Even though she was not feeling any pain, she knew that something was terribly wrong judging from the redness in the water. She then took notice of her left arm. Her attacker had left a very disturbing mark on her and it was blood from her arm that was causing this red color. It was something that anyone one of us would not enjoy realizing. Her left arm was totally severed.
