:D:D:D LOVE YOU GUYS! haha, sorry about that, I just got loads of reviews for my last chapter and I was so happy! So this is short, but happy, and I just wanted to update quickly and to say...
OMG THE NEW LOST FILES COMES OUT TOMORROW! I AM DYING HERE! Okay breathe, no pun intended :) So that's what I'm doing tomorrow, and you better read it too and PM me about it or review and talk because I know I'm going to have so many feels ;D
Enjoy!
Everything is still, the world moving lazily around me.
Eight sits a few metres away, curls a tangled mess floating around his face.
I raise my hand and wave, movement slowed by the water. He raises his eyebrows and waves back, face red from trying to hold his breath for so long.
I don't know why he wanted to do this, the idiot, I don't know, maybe he forgot that I can breathe underwater? Whatever his reason, he is failing miserably while I am having fun. Just to vex him, I start plaiting my hair, trying to capture the brown strands drifting away. His eyes widen and I know, if he could, he would say something to annoy me.
But he cant, otherwise that would mean losing, and Eight hates losing. Maybe not as much as Nine, but I get the feeling it's a boy thing. And the time he challenged me to a race – well, he seems to pick the things that I have a major advantage in. I know if he ever wins in our little 'battles' I will never hear the end of it.
Deciding to make the most of now however, I grin and poke my tongue out.
He shakes his head furiously and, seemingly forgetting he is underwater, he opens his mouth to say something.
A second later, he pops up to the surface, and I can hear him coughing and spluttering from the water in his lungs. I stay under, but – as I expected – he soon leans down and grabs me round the waist, bringing me up to the surface of the empty pool.
"Unfair!" He rasps, hands on his knees and back bent over as he tries to get the rest of the water out. He is using his legacy to stand on the water, showing off as usual.
"No" I retort "Usually if you breathe underwater, it doesn't exactly end well." I laugh at his pissed look. "Unless you are me of course"
"Meanie" He mutters, but his frown turns to a smirk as he knocks me back into the water. I giggle and swim away, but he grabs my ankle, pulling me back. Then he starts to tickle me, and I writhe and laugh madly. "Stop" I try to say, but is just comes out as a "mm" because of the water.
I finally manage to release myself from his grip and bring both my feet up, bending my legs and pushing my feet against his chest. It launches me backward, and I swim away quickly, not wanting to be caught again.
He doesn't follow for a few seconds, so I spin around.
I dissolve back into laughter as he swims towards me, this time in the form of some kind of giant fish. He looks oddly misshapen and I am overwhelmed by the desire to take a picture and show Six. Obviously I cant, but I am so hysterical that I let him plough into me, jolting me backward.
I let my body fall to the bottom of the pool, and I lie there for a while, shaking with giggles. Eight reverts back to human form and teleports (seriously, teleports!) next to me. His look is quizzical, wondering what the hell so funny, but all I can do is shake my head. My tears are consumed by the water in the pool, but I can tell that I would be crying buckets right now.
I haven't been this giddy since Six dunked Nine into a bucket of salty water. And that was pretty hilarious.
When he cant hold his breath any longer, Eight grabs me and teleports to the surface. He gasps for breath, and I carry on laughing. But after a while, I finally manage to stop.
Eight just looks at me.
"I'm not even going to ask" He says dryly, and shakes his curls, splattering me with more water.
"Don't" I reply, wiping my eyes and trying not to crack up again as I think about Eight as that fish.
"Honestly" He mutters, then, deciding he has had enough of swimming for one day, he teleports us both out of the pool.
"Hey!" I exclaim "Don't you want to have a race?"
When his green eyes light up, I know I have him. He really thinks he can beat me on this one, but I know better. Of course, I wont have to come up for breath.
"Pleeeeease"
"Your on"
So yeah, a nice one :) And the beginning was inspired by that scene from percy jackson, when he's in the pool... whatever - I haven't even read the books (don't murder me please!).
So remember, REVIEW! AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE NEW LOST FILES!
