"I'm sorry." says Julie. "But I'm scared. I think something bad is
going to happen to me here. I have to leave tonight."
"Julie, listen, you're upset because of the accident..." says David.
"Yes," replies Julie. " I know, but I want to go home."
"I'm sorry, Julie, but that's impossible," says David. "Our phone isn't working now."
"Oh no!" cries Julie. "Where's the nearest public telephone?"

"I'm sorry but it's in the village, 10 kilometers away."
"Oh dear," says Julie. "Can't you drive me to a telephone in the car?"
'We don't have a car here. There's a bus on Fridays to take people to the train station, but no car. Why don't we telephone your parents tomorrow? They're coming to repair our phone tomorrow morning.
"You don't understand, I have to talk to them tonight! It's very
important!" says Julie again.
"Julie, you're upset, you're ill, you need some sleep. Go and lie down on your bunk. I can help you tomorrow. You're safe here in Holly How. Don't worry.
Julie sighs, She is too tired to insist.
"Okay," she says, "I'm going to my room, David."
"Good girl," says David. "Good night. Sleep well."
David turns to talk to the other people at the table. Julie sees
Anna there with two other girls. They are laughing. Anna
looks up and smiles at Julie. Julie doesn't look at Anna. She walks quickly to the door. She leaves the kitchen and goes to her room.
She opens the door very quietly. She looks in — the room is empty.
"Good, no one is here!" She lies down on her bunk. She is very, very tired.
"What am I going to do?' she thinks. "Don't fall asleep. Don't fall..."
But her eyes close and soon Julie is fast asleep.
She dreams about the accident on the lake. She is in the water.
She is going down, down, down into the shadows. Anna is
there in the water with her.
"Hello, Julie," says Anna. Her voice is faint. "It's good to see you here. Do you like the water! Isn't it lovely here?"

"No, Anna! I don't want to be here. It's horrible, it's dark. I want to be with my family. I want you to leave me alone!" cries Julie.
"l don't have any friends here. I want a friend," answers Anna, sadly.
"It's very cold down here," says Julie. "Very cold, very cold..."
Julie wakes up from her dream. She rubs her eyes. The air in the room is like ice.
"Brrrr!" she says. "Why is it so cold in here? I'm freezing!"
Then she sees Anna standing next to her bed.

CHAPTER 10
Anna Wants to Be Friends
Julie sits up in her bed. She pulls the blankets closer.
It is freezing in the room.
"Why are you following me, Anna?" she Says. "Why don 't you leave me alone? What do you want?"
Anna sits down on Julie's bed. She takes Julie's hand in hers.
Anna's hands are colder than Julie's, they are like ice. She is pale and her eyes are dark. She is looking at Julie strangely again.
Julie is frightened. She doesn't want to look at Anna's eyes.
She touches the locket around her neck nervously.
"Don't be afraid of me, Julie," Anna's voice is kind and friendly but it is difficult to hear. It seems she is talking under the water.
"l want to be friends, Julie. I want to be best friends. You and I are alike in many ways. We must be together."
Julie takes her hand away quickly. "What do you mean, the same?"
she asks.

"We're both shy. We want to have a lot of friends. We are both lonely, we want to be popular, we want everyone to like us."
"l don't know what you mean," replies Julie angrily. "l have a lot of friends at home."
"NO, you don't," replies Anna. "You're lonely and you're shy, like me. You're jealous of your brother Paul because he's more popular than you. He's cleverer and he's friendlier too. He has a lot of friends."
Julie feels uncomfortable. How does Anna know these things about her?
"You are very like me," Anna continues. I wanted the same things when I came to Coniston Water many years ago. I just wanted to make friends, I wanted people to like me. I tried hard to do the things they did. I went hiking and pony-riding. I played volleyball and tennis. I was scared of the water and I couldn't swim but I went boating with them... Oh, my story has a sad ending, Julie, a very sad ending..." There are tears on Anna's pale face.
Julie doesn't feel frightened now. She is curious. She feels sorry for Anna. She wants to know Anna's story. She says, "Okay,
Anna we can be friends. But first, you must tell me your story. I want to know exactly what happened to you here at Coniston Water many years ago. Can you tell me?'
"Maybe you're going to be frightened," says Anna.
"No," replies Julie, "l want to know. I must know."
Anna looks over to the window and the lake outside. She sees something that Julie can't see. She sees Coniston Water many years ago. She begins to tell her story. Julie listens very closely.

CHAPTER 11
Anna's Story
Many years ago...
"Anna! Do you want to come out on the lake with us!
We're going to row across Coniston Water," shouts Ken, the youth hostel organizer. He is strong and athletic. He loves to go boating.
"No, I don't. Look at those dark clouds," says Anna. It's going to rain.
"It’s all right," says Ken. "We can row in the rain! We want to row across to Hawkshead on Che other side of the lake."
"But I can't swim," replies Anna. She is fourteen and afraid of water. "l want to stay here, Ken."
"Come on," Ken insists, "get into the boat. Everyone is going.
We can't leave you here. Sarah is your partner. She's a very good swimmer and she can manage the boat."
