She is running in the jungle again, like she was in her dream before.

She came upon a clearing and instead of being welcomed to soft white sands; her feet were met something cold and wet. She looked down and saw she was standing in the middle of the ocean. The stars above her burned bright as she stood in the middle of calm waters. She looked around and at first didn't see anything except the endless ocean, then she spotted her father's boat in the distance, peacefully floating. Relieved, she began to make her way to it when she discovered her feet wouldn't move. As she looked down, she realized her feet began sinking in black oozing liquid that felt thick against her as it slowly started to swallow her body.

Panic set in, she tried to move and tried to fight her way out but failed, whatever this was it was like quicksand. Looking up at her father's boat she called out for her father as loud as she could. No answer. The thick liquid was now at her hips as she began to sink faster. She called out to her father again praying he would save her.

Finally, there was movement on the boat, her father came from below the cabin and Moselle could feel a wave of relief spread across her, but quickly disappeared when his body was in full view. Her father stood at the edge of the boat looking out at her, his whole front was covered in blood with a huge stab wound on his stomach.

"Dad?" she breathed out.

The liquid now to her stomach. She held her arms up so they wouldn't be swallowed in hopes she would grab hold of something. She called out to her father again, but he didn't move.

"Dad! Please! Help me!" she yelled as she reached for him, but he still didn't move, he just watched her as the liquid had begun to form under her chest. Just then a huge shadow peered from behind her father. Camazotz.

"You!"

Moselle could feel rage build up in her at the sight of him as he watched her from behind her father. Camazotz cackled at her as he watched her being swallowed up before him. He toyed with her, showing his blade and resting it on her father's shoulder so the sharp side was against his neck.

"DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM!" she barked, trying to free herself but the liquid wouldn't budge, if anything it made her sink faster. It began to creep around her shoulder as Moselle could feel the icy cold touching her skin. It was so cold it almost felt like it was burning. She cried out and reached with all her might to her father who finally looked down at her. His blank eyes staring at her. Just as Moselle was going to yell for him again, Camazotz raised his blade and in a flash was swinging it back in her father's direction.

Just before she was completely swallowed up, her father spoke only two words.

"Run Moselle.."

He said just as Camazotz blade struck his neck.

"NOOOO!" she managed to yell as the liquid filled her mouth and swallowed her completely.
