MMC #12

Summer is finally here, (yay!)  I'm itching to get back to writing.  So to warm up, I'm doing another Monday Minute Challenge (MMC).  Author Tessa Emily Hall hosts them on her blog.  (You should really check it out!)----> Christ is Write
 
It is 302 words long.  (a little over!) I used the picture prompt.

As they sat there in silence, she could sense there was something he wanted to convey, but didn’t know how to begin.  There was a nervous excitement in his overall presence. Anticipation started to fill her own self as she studied him. 

“Sarah,” he finally said, turning sharply to face her full on.  He clenched and unclenched his fists. 

“Yes, Kay?”

“I think you’re ready now.”  He didn’t say anything further for a moment.  She felt an urging to know more, not just out of curiosity, but out of a feeling of longing.  This feeling nearly consumed her and it was all she could do not to shake the information out of him.

At last he took a deep breath, and brought his gaze to hers.  “Come with me.”  And just like that, he reached down and grabbed her hand. 

“Where are we going?”  She gasped, trying desperately to keep from tripping.

“For a swim!” he called over his shoulder.  At last they ceased their pace at the rocky cleft of an ocean. 

“Climb in!” Kay instructed, gesturing to a ladder leading down into the water.

“What?”  She screamed, her voice barely heard above the crashing of the waves.  “The water is dangerous, we can’t!”

“Sarah, trust me.”

She peered into his eyes.  The feeling of longing once again consumed her and she found herself grasping onto the ladder rungs.  She descended into the waves, paused for a moment, and finally submerged.  But instead of being greeted by frigid water, she was met with warm, gentle sunshine.  When she looked back up, she could see Kay appearing as if in a mirror.  “Kay,” she breathed, her feet touching the ground, “what is this place?

“Don’t you know by now?” he smiled “it’s your home.”  He jumped down and kneeled.  “Welcome home…Queen Sarah.”
