It was a sunny day at sailing camp, I thought it would be a good day, but it wasn't.

We were learning how to uncapsize a boat. When we went outside to try it on the lake well... We took the boat onto the big and deep lake. When it was my turn, I tried to capsize the boat but it turtle. I was stuck under the boat, I couldn't breathe. I could hear the echoing voice of Coach Of KYC, asking me where I was.

Then I saw something swim under me. It was long and skinny with spicks on its head. I froze. It was calling my name. Saying Olivia the Chameleon over and over again. I could not speak. I moved slowly moved to the edge of the boat. To try to lift up the boat, but it as to heavy.

The figure got closer. The voice was getting louder. After, it st ©arted to yell out that it was hungry.

I started to struggle, to get out. Screaming for my life. Pounding on the side of the boat. I could still hear Coach Of KYC yelling her head off. Then I saw it. All this time I could have swam under the boat. So I did.

I was finally out from under the boat. I saw the coach sigh with a look of relief. SODDENLY! Some thing grabbed me, it hurt. It started pull me under. I was bobbing in and out of the water. Once I was under the water for the 5th time, I opened my eyes. The monster was the most scary thing I had ever seen. I started to pound on its claws to let me go. It had worked. Immediately I swam to the surfiest and toward dock. The shadow was getting closer. But I got up on the dock before it got me.

After that I was taken to the Hospital, and now it hurts to walk. then I Told my self that I will never go back in to that lake, or sail on a ship ever again.
