Chapter 2:
"Christopher!" shouted Silver. She grabbed Candy and held her tightly. Candy began to tear, but remained silent.
"Look at that monster! It's a hideous shade of blue! What other dolphins have you seen are blue?" shouted Chris in a ticked off tone. He obviously did not want Candy as his daughter. He wouldn't accept her the way she was born; even if it wasn't her fault her natural color was blue. "She's probably all messed up in the brain, too!"
"Fine! I'll just raise her myself!" yelled Silver. She didn't see a problem in Candy. It was probably the chocolate or something she ate that made her naturally blue. She was grateful that her child was living. Silver knew that she would protect, care and love Candy.
Seventeen years had passed since then. It was night-fall at Hershey Park, and there were some people left on the roller coasters. Candy sighs as she swam around. Two years ago she had found a secret tunnel leading to rivers, oceans, and who knows where; but she was sure it wasn't a sewer like many Hershey Park zoo animals had been talking about. Her best friend Edward the Leopard Seal was waiting for her at closing time. They had been best friends the first time she traveled in the tunnels. He told her to come as soon as closing time hit, and her parents were asleep.
Finally, and as if on cue, it was closing time. Candy smiled as she said good-night to her mom and pretended to sleep. Her dad was over her on the fifth day she was brought to them. Or at least she thought so. She heard snoring from her dad, and small snoozing noises from her mom, telling her it was alright to leave. She smiled to herself as she swam down into the tunnels. She knew exactly where to go.
Soon enough, she arrived at an abandon zoo still filled with animals, it was a display inside and the people that came by everyday to care for the animals left. The exhibit for the leopard seal was empty. She would usually see him, but not today, no he was not here from what Candy could see.
She jumped up on the surface, and was caught in a net. She screamed for help, but was not heard. She gave up and just lay their letting tears run down her face. From the side of her eye, she saw Edward.
"Thank god you're here! Please help me out!" she begged. He said nothing but just slowly approached her. She was afraid that he might have gone def or something.
"No," he whispered lowly.
"What? I-I couldn't hear you... please repeat that," She was worried about him, what happened to him? Why was she in a trap? Who didn't want her here? She started tearing again, but he didn't react, so she thought he might not have cared.
"No, my plan is going in motion," he explained. Why was he doing this to her? "It's your fault. Everything! YOU LEFT ME IN THE CITY ALONE! I WAS RUN OVER BY A TRUCK BECAUSE YOU LEFT ME!" he shouted loudly in her face.
"Wha-what? I don't remember ever leaving you..." she whispered so he could hear. She did not want to be in this situation. She knew, deep in her heart she would never do that. To anyone.
"The last time you were here! We ran into the city and you ditched me and then you just left me! I can never forgive you for that!" He screamed once again. She started remembering it all, she thought he would be following her, but it turns out, he wasn't. Since he didn't, he was ran over by a truck, and was left with revenge. "Time for your turn to pay!"
"What are you gonna do to me?" she managed to say. She was afraid what he might do. All the sudden, she fell out of the net, and he whispered something.
"Force you to be pregnant and ruin your life like you ruined mine!" He literally shouted in her face. She gasped as he forced his tongue in her mouth and attempted to pull her closer. She jumped down into the tunnels. She started crying hoping he wouldn't follow her. She sighed still crying because the tunnels were way to thin for him to fit in them. She just couldn't believe what he tried to do.
She made it home, safe in her tank. Her parents were still sleeping, that was a good sign. She silently swam up next to her mom and fell asleep.
