Still Water - In Rosewood, Illinois, a group of boys swim in a pond, despite their parents' warnings. Suddenly, the boys realize that the pond is infested with leeches, and they all rush out except Nicky, who has grown unnaturally pale. Just below the surface, vampiric creatures have drained him of all of his blood. The boys are too afraid to go back into the water for him, and they run away. The vampires return to their homes, deep under the water in old Rosewood, the sunken town. Elsewhere, Abby Holland and the Swamp Thing reluctantly part ways, as he decides to take Constantine's bait, and go to Rosewood. As he concentrates on getting there, he recalls that he had been there once before, and that the town had been corrupted so deeply by a dark presence that the Swamp Thing had cleansed the town by exploding the dam. Eventually, the boys decide not to go back for Nicky, or tell anyone what they saw. All of them leave except for Howard, who returns to the water alone. At the same time, the vampires prepare the creature they call the Mother for a mating ritual. This massive creature once known as Charlene a supermarket worker in Rosewood who once worried about her pimples and marriage prospects now has an integral part to play in the vampires' conquest on land. Swamp Thing regrows a new body in Rosewood, and is met there by Constantine, who warns that some of the vampires that were drowned out two years before had survived, and formed an underwater community. Here, they found refuge from the harmful sunlight as well as from humans who might kill them. Constantine further explains that the virus that causes vampirism is anaerobic; oxygen can be a harmful substance to them. He bargains that he will reveal Swamp Thing's nature if he will deal with the vampires in the water. Annoyed, Swamp Thing begins walking into the water. As Howard returns to the pond, Nicky appears to be alive, and demands that they go swimming again. It becomes clear that Nicky has become a vampire himself, and Howard is swarmed by Nicky's new companions. The Mother gives birth to many, many eggs, which soon begin to hatch. Both she and her mate descend into the dark waters and their bodies torn apart after breeding begin to decompose and die as the oxygenated water flows through their bodies. (Source: dc.wikia.com)"
