The boy and the old note. Part 2

      The curiosity for the boy was to strong to resist, he remembered there was a lake near by so he collected his courage and walked towards the lake that was outside the town.
       The moon was almost in the middle of the night sky, midnight was not far away.  Luckily the moon was also almost full so he had no trouble seeing. 15 minutes later he arrived at the lake, the moon was in the middle of the sky now and as he approached the lake he saw something moving in the water. Maybe it was fish he thought.
       But to his surprise it was not finish. A very terrifying creature appeared out of the lake, it looked somewhat human, like a woman but the body was completely rotten as if she was dead already for years, many parts of the body, the flesh had completely fallen off, revealing her bones.
      The boy was terrified and wanted to run away screaming but he was frozen and he could not move or open his mouth.
      The creature spoke and asked the boy if he was there to kill her, the boy did not reply, so after a moment the creature asked the same question again. This time the boy managed to say no quietly.
    Then the creature asked if he was there to make fun of her or at laugh at her fate. The boy again quietly replied no.
   The creature spoke again and this time it asked, why was the boy visiting the lake at the middle of the night, maybe to test his courage? The boy remained silent for a moment then he explained that he found a message in a bottle that brought him here. The creature look surprised now. She told him that she was surprised that someone found her message after 500 years. Afterwards she asked him if he was kind enough to help her...
