A/N kay heres the next chapter and again its late sorry. But please enjoy!!

Chapter 4

The hand clung to my leg and I could feel pin sharp nails digging in. I was dragged down deeper into the depths, the darkness of the ocean was closing in, the light above me getting smaller.

MAX!! I could hear Angel shouting for me in my head, but I was too distracted to talk back and reassure her.

The force of being pulled down, combined with the force of the water rushing past me, made it nearly impossible for me to move. My wings felt like they were straining, being tugged upwards by an invisible thread. I glanced down to see what was attacking me and gasped, breathing in water.

Whatever this thing was, it was an experiment. It had scaly skin similar to a snake or fish, which had a greenish sheen to it. The hand that was latched onto my ankle had webbed fingers, gills dotted its neck and it had a type of fin laid along its arm and calve that was helping it to swim. The creature was swimming faster than a human and when its head turned to look up at me, it grinned with a flash of razor sharp teeth. I had a sudden mental image of a shark.

And just maybe, shark was in this guys DNA.

I kept forgetting to breathe in through my nose and out of my mouth, using my funky new underwater breathing abilities. So I was slowly choking and drowning.

I had one of those moments, one when you're in trouble and you don't care, one when everything freezes for a split second and you think 'I can do anything.' One of those moments.

Blindly I started kicking out with my feet, after many failed attempts I hit something vital, that went crunch under my foot. I suddenly stopped moving and glanced down to see Fishboy clutching his nose.

Score! Wait is that blood?

Dimly I thought why is blood in shark infested waters bad again? The answer was in the shark infested waters bit.
Frantically I started beating my wings, using them to push me through the water faster than I could swim.

ANGEL!! Get out of the water! Make sure everyone stays out of it! NOW!

I could only hope that she did as I said. It was harder to beat my wings in the water, the thrust (see school was handy) was almost stronger than gravity, but it was similar to just flying in the air.

I looked down to see Fishboy swimming after me, and below him something torpedo shaped swimming after us. I pushed myself faster trying to get out before that shape in the distant blue got too close.

I had to get out of the water, I was in my element in the air, down here there was something after both me and Fishboy.

The flickering light in the water was getting clearer, the black blue of the deep sea more see-through. Again I felt a hand clamp on to my leg, pulling me to a stop.

I didn't even try to pull away, he had too strong a grip. I dove down and tackled him, my arm knocked his head, I felt snapping teeth sink in and tear. It was excruciating but I knew the thing beneath us had bigger teeth and would do more damage.

I threw my fist at Fishboy's throat causing him to gasp and clutch his breath trying to breath normally again. It freed my foot.

Again I started moving, I was so close when I heard a strangled scream. I looked down in time to see the great white latch onto Fishboy and shake its head.

A terrible death but I still needed to get out of the water. What I hadn't expected was another shark coming after me from behind the other one. Another great white, it was following my trail of blood in the water. My arm was bleeding profusely.

I was close to the surface, I could see where I would come out into the sky. Only Gazzy was hovering above the water looking right at me. It was too late for me to change course, he was right in my path. And I had a sneaky suspicion that the shark was going to follow me into the air.

As I gave a final burst with my wings the water cascaded down and I came into fresh air, dragging in a lungful of oxygen. I collided with Gazzy but instead of pushing him away from me, I pushed him up. Making him yelp in surprise.

I heard another splash as my pursuer came out of the water, it all happened in split seconds and I had enough time still to think CRAP as I felt the force of a freight train clamp down on my legs with a hundred plus sharp as knives teeth.

I let out a pain filled scream that I couldn't have held back even if I had tried. The sharks weight started to pull me down but before I could go back into the water, Fang had grabbed my arms and Nudge, Angel and Iggy were shouting and kicking the shark to let me go.

"YOU LET HER GO NOW!!"Angel shouted, her voice echoing with a mind command.

The shark abruptly released me and I flapped to get away from the water. I was feeling dizzy and my arm and leg were burning. I was nearly back at the beach with my flock following behind me when I felt myself fall forward, into blackness just as my wings folded like paper.

This was not going well.
