The Outsider Chapter 1: Bachelor Life Ended

Swimming, rushing like mad through the crystal clear water. I don't think I could survive unless I was here in the Great Water. It's the one place where you can't see the other side. The only problem with swimming in the Great Water is that when you change to the smaller Watering Holes your gills burn for a while until you get used to the water. Actually that happens whenever you switch waters.

I sigh and flip over onto my back, floating through the water leisurely as I gaze at the sparkling, sun dappled surface. I loved my life as a Bachelor and could live in no other place other than the Great Water. Watering Holes are too confined, there's not enough space. I smile widely as I spot a slow and fat fish swimming unsuspectingly above me. I flip back over and shoot towards the fish, snapping my jaws down upon it with great ease.

"Oh, hey." I growl to myself. "One of the little green ones."

Instantly the sweet and tangy flavor explodes in my mouth. I love the taste of these guys and this one was so easy. Adrenaline rush wearing off, I buried the fish in the sand below me before shooting to the surface and out of the Great Water into the open air. I shout happily as I flip and dive back down before shooting back up and performing a perfect backflip.

A pair of the Long Nosed Air Breathers swim by as they powered their strong tails. I clicked a happy greeting to them before swimming away myself in search of more food. I knew many of the languages of the non-prey fish. The Great Air Breathers, the Long Nosed Air Breathers, a few of the Sharp Toothed ones as well.

I was chased from my school when I reached maturity by the alpha male. It was a normal thing, he didn't want the younger males thinking that they could lead the school better than him and challenge him. I've been a Bachelor ever since.

I slide in the sand on my belly through the swaying seaweed when a new scent reached my nostrils. It was one of the big fishes. If I could swing this kill it would feed me for the rest of the day. I peel back the layers of seaweed and spot it. It was huge. Biggest Prey Fish I had ever seen! It's bright blue stood out against the brown sand. That was wrong. This Prey Fish belonged in the bright corals not here. Oh well if not me then some other predator.

I tensed up and launched forward swimming after the fish as it panicked. I reached my hands out, claws extended, ready to rip into its flesh when I slammed into a scaly wall of dark blue and tumbled into the sand. I growled as I watched my prey escape me. I growled and turned on the fish who dared take my prey from me but stopped cold. It was another one of my kind. A she. She had no back fin but fierce spikes on her cheeks and neck. Her claws were sharp and nicely curved. She was beautiful but I couldn't let that affect me. She had taken food from me.

I growled fiercely at her and crouched on the sand. To my surprise she attacked instantly. We rolled through the sand biting and clawing at each other until we had pinned each other. I felt her struggle and then I realized that I couldn't get up either.

"Truce?" She she-fish hissed at me.

"Truce." I hissed back.

We released each other and glared our anger for a few solid minutes before she spoke.

"You fight well." She told me.

"So do you."

She looked me over from head to tailfin. She obviously noticed my bright red stripes, the markings of a Bachelor.

"I am sorry I attacked you. I thought you were someone else." she mumbled.

"Who did you think I was?"

"Hellas." I saw her stiffen and rub a scar on her arm as she growled the name.

"Who?"

"My old alpha. Very commanding guy and a real jerk!"

"Well my name's Ozaton. What's yours?"

"Ophir."

I don't really know why we stayed together after that. We just did and I think we both enjoyed the company. I spent all of my time with her and taught her the languages of the other Non-Prey Fish. She was fascinated and I was ecstatic. I had never met anyone else with a wanting to learn other languages. Soon enough the winter tides began rushing through the waters and chilling the currents.

I soon noticed my Bachelor marks fading away along with the warmth of the hot season but I didn't really mind all that much. Over time Ophir and I began to think of each other as mates. I never thought that I wouldn't miss my bachelor life but I didn't. I also discovered that I was very protective of her.

This Hellas guy came by looking for her and when he tried to take her I was in face before I could think. I still have a pretty good scar from that one but I sent him packing and he hasn't bothered us since. Half of those moves I pulled off while fighting him I didn't even know were possible.

One day as we swam along one of the Great Coral Reefs she wound up announcing that she was weighted down with a clutch of eggs. I stopped all life functions right there and just stared dumbly at her for a good solid hour before she asked if we could move to a watering hole to make her clutch safer once it was laid.

Now there's one thing I knew, these eggs were definatly mine. I bit my lip at the thought of being trapped in a Watering Hole but agreed either way.

We soon touched land and made the journey to a large Watering Hole and as we traveled in I couldn't help but panic slightly. I turned around at one point in time and could see the Great Water in the distance begging me to come back. I shivered suddenly as I realized that I had never been so far away from it. How would Watering Hole fish taste? Would there be any currents to swim in? Would there be enough space?

I stopped as I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to stare into her gentle purple eyes. My eyes wandered down to her bulging stomach. She would only have about ten or so eggs about the size of my fist but she would still need my help and she was my mate! I couldn't leave her because I was scared! I sucked in a breath and forced myself to turn away from the Great Water and walk away.
