Jeff Kinley left the school with his friend Aaron swimming beside him. "The mating for us sounds SO painful." Aaron announced and the two 15 year olds winced, clenching their stomachs as they remembered their teacher's description.
"Yeah, we have to be in that 10% of males region. It sucks that we have a womb instead of junk." Jeff muttered his reply and Aaron nodded with a scowl. "Let's go grab food then go exploring." Aaron nodded with a smirk and Jeff leant closer to his ear. "I heard there's a new ship wreck a mile away from the city walls." He whispered excitedly and Aaron grinned.
"Let's go then!" He exclaimed before swimming forward, Jeff laughing as he caught up quickly. "Hey mom." Aaron greeted his mother as they swam through the door. His mother greeted the boys and pointed at two plates on the table, ordering them to eat all of the food before they left the house again.
They ate the food given to them quickly, both eager to finish so they could explore the ship wreck. "Thanks mom, I'll be back before dark." Aaron called as they left the house and swam to the east of Atlantis, leaving the city walls and swimming through barren sea before a large ship wreck came into view. "Wow, that's so cool!" He exclaimed happily.
"Race ya there." Jeff challenged before flying towards the ship, Aaron close behind him. Jeff slipped through a broken window and looked around his surroundings curiously, his head tilting when he saw a pile of small cave like things. "Aaron?" He called and his friend joined him a few seconds later. "What do you think these are? I remember a picture of them from class, but I wasn't listening to what they are." He admitted and Aaron laughed.
He swam to the pile and touched one, moving it slightly and swimming backwards when one end opened while the end he picked up opened. "That's weird." He announced absently. "I think the humans call them traps." Jeff swam to one on the other side of the room, looking into a trap with one end clamped shut. "Careful Jeff, I asked my mom what they were and she wouldn't tell me, but she said to be careful around them because they're dangerous."
Jeff looked over his shoulder at his friend. "How? They're not moving at all, I'm sure we can swim away from one of these." He asked in disbelief, not understanding how a stationary object could be dangerous. Aaron shrugged his shoulders before looking at the wall, picking up interlocked seaweed that clanked together while Jeff returned to looking into the trap. He scoffed before laying it on the floor, he could inspect it better on his stomach. "Wow." He breathed in awe as light shimmered through the gaps and danced inside the trap, making a dead fish noticeable and Jeff's stomach growled in response. "Do you think my mom would be mad if I had a fish snap?" He rolled his eyes when Aaron laughed at the question.
Jeff smiled and slowly floated into the trap, his shoulders barely fitting through the opening. "This thing sure is tight." He spoke absently as he got closer to his destination. He was a few inches away from the other end of the trap before a heavy feeling settled in his stomach, something about this didn't feel safe. He shook his head and pushed himself backwards, nearly out of the trap before he bit his lip and swam back in for the fish. "Can't hurt anything apart from my weight." He muttered to himself as he pulled the fish towards him, frowning when there was a resistance half way to him.
"Come on, I don't think we should be he-" Aaron stopped himself when he only saw the end of Jeff's emerald green tail. "Jeff! Get out of there!" He shouted.
Jeff jumped at Aaron's voice, pulling the fish backwards before sliding filled the room. "What was that?" Jeff called to his friend as he pushed himself backwards, frowning when something stopped him. He looked over his shoulder and saw the other end of the trap closed behind him, Aaron's shocked face contorted by the gaps. "Very funny, open that thing and let's go like you want." Jeff sighed. "Aaron?" He asked when the other boy didn't move. "Anyone home?" He joked and rolled his eyes when there still wasn't an answer. He turned in the trap with a struggle and pushed the once open end, confused when there was no movement. "Nice joke Aaron, now open this thing." Sarcasm dripped from every word and Aaron finally snapped to reality.
The other boy pulled against the end, pulling harder when the end didn't budge. "Pull when I push." Jeff ordered with exasperation and the pair tried to open the trap with all their strength, Jeff's breath picking up when they didn't make any progress. "Why did you close this thing Aaron?" He asked as he rattled the trap, trying to find another weakness.
"I didn't close it! I was by that wall!" Aaron defended himself as he pulled the trap, the end keeping closed as the trap was dragged across the floor slightly.
Jeff's eyes widened and he shook with fear. "W-What do we do? I-I can't get out." He stuttered as he stared at Aaron, seeing reflected fear on his friends face. "Aaron, Aaron please get me out of here." Jeff begged as his fear quickly turned to panic, making him shake the trap harder.
"It's not opening." Aaron said needlessly. "I-I'll go and get my mom! She'll know what to do." Jeff stared at Aaron like he was crazy. "I know we'll get in trouble, but you can't get out right now, and I can't help you at all." Jeff bit his lip and nodded, threading his fingers through the gaps and Aaron put his hands over them. "I'll be back soon." He promised before swimming to the door, looking back at Jeff before sighing as he left the room and ship.
