The Scariest Night of Our Lives

Ok so it was Easter weekend 21 March 2006, and in south Africa where I live, that's the time when families goes on vacations. But my three friends and I decided to go to a little cottage we found on the net in a town called Simons town which was about an hour drive outside our town, cape town. We got there, the house was beautiful, although it had an odd quietness to it... anyway we got settled in.

It came to just after 12 am when we were just about to go to bed when all of a sudden we heard a child crying. We all stopped, and asked each other, "did you hear that?" so the 2 guys, rayaan and rafiek, went outside... and there was nothing... so we went upstairs and got into bed... a big BANG! awakened me, rafiek and rayaan but my other friend, quanita, wasn't in bed. So we rushed down stairs and there she was sitting on her knees in front of the door with her back facing us... rayaan approached her touching her shoulder, she immediately turned around spitting at him, saying, "leave me alone or I will tell this time" we were all shocked to see blood all over her night gown. She looked at us with this wide anger in her eyes and just kept looking at the door. She then got up opened the door and started walking towards the pool, we knew we had to get her before she went in because it was freezing cold... then as rayaan got hold of her hand she looked at us and screamed "HELP ME!" We all pulled on her hand but something was pulling her into the pool... we were screaming for help and a strong wind blew... quanita fall on the floor and there was that dead silence again... we took her inside laid her down an covered her with blankets cause she was shivering, she woke up eventually and didn't know what happened.

after asking around the town, we found out that a young girl had been kept there by her father who raped her continuously, and one night she tried to escape but her father caught her and drowned her... and left her body there in the pool.
