The Creature

The big beach was empty when they got there. Frank should arrive in a couple of minutes with the bottles. Absinthe, vodka and some wine for the girls. Speaking of girls, they weren't there either and Stan was getting worried. "Jimmy" - he said, his emo bangs covering half the face - "weren't the girls supposed to come with you?" "No."- Jimmy, the one with the long, surfist blond hair replied - "They come with Frank. He said he's pick them up after getting the booze." Andrew, the nerd boy scout one, was taking care of the fire : setting the rocks they had brought in a circle, then putting the sticks inside said circle. He then got two stones from his pocket and began trying to start the fire. "Let me, Andy, I have a lighter".
"Don't call me Andy, Jim. Call me Andrew. It's not that big of a name. Also, I can do it. You use your lighter for something else."
"Very well, I'll use it to light this AWESOME weed that my older brother gave me. And then I wont let you try it."
Andrew finally got the fire going, about the same time Frank and the girls and the booze arrived. They all sat round the fire, bottles and joints going left and right. Abby, the dark haired, green eyed and warm smile girl, was sitting next to Stan and Cloe, the token black chick was next to Frank, the other token ethnic character. In truth he was only 25% chinese, but it was more than enough to make the execs happy. He was also the older one, 22 years against the others average of 19.5 years. Just the right age to appeal to the demographic the execs wanted. Anyway, the kids were all around the fireplace, Frank with his hand on Cloe's thigh, and was whispering on her ear. She giggled, pretended to be ashamed, then got up, pulling him and they went closer to the shore line. There he took off his shirt, displaying his not-so-muscular body. Then he took the shows and pants, stripping down to his briefers. She strips too, panties and bra, both black with small silk details, showing that she had planned for him to see them. He goes head first into the water, takes his time under, and when she starts to look scared, jumps out in front of her, screaming something.
She tries to slap him, but succeeds only in falling into the water too. The kids looked when Frank screamed, and now were laughing hard.
Stan and Abby are now lying in the sand, oblivious to all around them, Jimmy has a void look on his eyes, a bottle on the left hand, a joint on the right one. He gives Andrew the bottle and gets up to go return some water to nature. He walks, drunk already, to the shoreline too, but before he can do what he wants, Cloe starts screaming to him : "Not here you fool! Go to the rocks!". Jimmy follows the pointing finger with his eyes and sees the said rock. He stumbles until he gets there, pulls the pants down, does his deed, and then falls back into the sand. Gets up and starts walking in what he assumes is the right direction, stopping only when knee deep into the water.
He looks around, not seeing his friends, not even the fire. He screams "Hey you guys! Where is everyone?" and nobody answers. So he finds which way is the sand, by stepping once in one direction, rotating 90º, stepping once, rotating 90º and stepping again and feeling the steep climb under his foot. Smiling he goes into the sand, not seeing the thing behind him. Once on the sand he looks around again. Nobody. Nobody. Nobo-- wait, is that a light? It looks like a light. He walks in that direction, but the thing behind him, at this point only a black human-shaped shadow, grabs him. It's hands look like they are fully covered by seaweed, but he is strong. Strong enough to drag the screaming boy into the water.
Back on the fire, Andrew is too drunk to even care about the fact that he is alone. Stan and Abby went to the right, in search of some.. privacy. By the sea, Cloe is sitting on the sand, and Frank is still inside the water, doing acrobatic dives to impress the girl. He dives once, comes up again, dives again, some four times, always different dives. After the fifth time, he doesn't come up. Cloe screams his name, "Not funny! Come out!" and a lot of other things the execs will want to cut out.
Finally, Frank comes up again, in the typical drown man position. Cloe goes to him, pulls him by the hair, screaming and insulting him, until she notices that there's something missing : Frank's face is not there. She screams again, this time more hysterical and less insulting. Next to the fire, Andrew is asleep, and says something to the effect of "not yet mommy" when Cloe changes the screaming style. She stops it altogether when the same seaweed covered arm comes from under the water and pulls her inside. Andrew still asleep, Abby appears, running from where she was, Stan follows her, still buttoning his pants. "Andrew, wake up! Where's Cloe? I heard her scream! And where the hell is Jimmy?"
Andrew looks at her, shrugs, and falls asleep again. "Stan, wake him up! I'll go look for them!"
Abby goes to the shore line, screaming her friend's name, and occasionally "Frank" too. She sees something on the water, closes in, screams hysterically when she notices it's a human arm. Her BFF's arm, to be more precise. Still that stupid "Tequila For Ever" tattoo next to the wrist. Stan comes running, with cries of preoccupation, in time to see his new girlfriend being taken underwater by the creature. He screams one of those bad words the execs will bleep, and runs to save his maiden. He succeeds only in giving her a few more seconds to live, since the monster stops eating her to kill him with a swift movement from the hand. The creature finishes eating the girl's face and torso, leaving the arms and legs floating in the water and drags the boy's body down, for a future meal.
Next day, Andrew wakes up in jail.
Three years after, on that same night, he kills himself with the bed sheets from his prison cell, tormented with the guilt of having killed his friends in a fit of madness.
Two weeks after, a strange man-eating creature is found in the shore.
