The Drowned One (killer and survivor idea)

Rebecca Phillips was out celebrating with friends at a local night club when she met a charming young man named James Cooper. The two of them hit it off over a bit more than a few drinks. Afterward, they decided to head back to his house. With him behind drunkenly swerving over a rain soaked road, Rebecca felt as if she was on an adventure. As the car passed over a large dam the wind from the storm gave it just the right nudge while the wet road took away just the right amount of traction. The car spiraled out of control before rolling over and over again. Off the side of the dam and into the dark cold waters below.

James in a panic managed to unbuckle and swim out of the open window as the waters rushed in. Rebecca was not so lucky. 1 week later James, drunk off grief and tequila, returned to the dam. Haunted by guilt and what could have beens, he stood on the edge of the dam wondering how it all must have felt for the young and beautiful Rebecca. He could feel the heart beating in his chest as out of the corner of his eye he saw the visage of a woman he couldn't quite make out. Suddenly a storm erupted from the skies. Vision now impaired he watched in horror as the pooling rain on the ground began to take form.

That now familiar sense of panic took hold of his legs. He felt as if he was running through water. A cold wet hand burst through the water below his feet and dragged him downwards, his screams silenced almost instantly.
