Zero swam gracefully in the water. His tail moving up and down smoothly as he looked around the beautiful coral ocean floor. His sister Yuki swim beside him quickly, trying to keep up with his pace. Even though Zero was swimming slow Yuki found it difficult to swim to keep up with him because she had a smaller tail compared to him.
Zero had a 9 feet long light purple tail that matched his eyes perfectly. His scales on his tail were medium sized with a dint at the end of it so they weren't sharp. He also had short silver hair that swayed nicely as he swam, the tips tickling his ears.
Yuki, on the other hand, was smaller. Much smaller. Her tail was a light brown colour. It reached 6 feet which were small compared to Zeroes. Her scales were small and barely the size of a thumb nail. She had short brown hair and brown eyes. She stayed close to her brother as they swam further out to sea than they had ever gone before.
They were meant to meet up with their friends awhile ago but they hadn't come so now the two had to travel to where their friends lived to find out why they didn't show up. The two had been swimming for ages, around about two hours actually. Yuki was beginning to get tired and slowly she began falling behind which quickly grabbed Zero's attention. The silver-haired mer came to a stop and turned around to look at his tired sister.
"Can we take a break for awhile?" Yuki asked tiredly to her brother.
"Yuki you know we can't it's dangerous." Zero said, his lavender eyes scanning around them looking for sharks. "We need to hurry up and go now." Zero said and heard Yuki groan loudly and unhappily.
"Fine, I'm coming," Yuki said and slowly began swimming again. Her eyes tiredly looking below her to show nothing. Literally, they were so deep in the ocean all that laid under them was the dark abyss where dangerous animals were lurking. Slowly she raised her head and looked to the left, spotting a worm hooked onto some kind of metal thing.
Slowly Yuki swam away from Zero and headed towards the worm. "Oh, you poor thing. Here let me help." Yuki said and reached out to the worm. Zero noticed Yuki wasn't beside him anymore and frantically looked around him until his eyes fell upon Yuki. Slowly his eyes looked up to see a dark shadow above the water.
"YUKI DON'T TOUCH IT!" Zero yelled but it was too late. Yuki grabbed the hook and took the worm off it gently. In a heartbeat, she was being pulled to the surface. Against all her struggles she was getting pulled closer and closer to the air, her finger caught on the hook. Zero quickly swam after her and grabbed onto her tail firmly.
Yuki screamed as she was thrown out of the water, along with Zero. They both landed on something hard and uncomfortable. Yells were everywhere as people tried tying the two up. Zero was hissing and frantically squirming, occasionally biting people who came near him. Yuki was shy and didn't do anything. She allowed herself to be tied up. She didn't find a point in resisting. After biting three people Zero felt something jabbed into his neck. A liquid was injected in and in a matter of seconds, Zero fell unconscious with Yuki screaming for him to wake up but soon she was jabbed in the neck too and fell into a deep sleep.
