Hi again. Back with chapter 7! Thanx for the reviews so far
*feels special*
Finding A Way: CHAPTER 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kayli adored the necklace. It was old, and didn't look like it was worth much, but she liked it either way. Her and Shadow had gotten a late start on their trip today. Neither of them minded, though, it was worth the company.
"Hey look at this one!" Kayli said, holding a seashell out to Shadow. He had been swimming forward all day, while she swam close by, finding little objects to touch.
"Heh", Is the only thing he would really respond with, he never really took interest in the outdoors. Kayli just smiled and dove back off somewhere to look for something else.
Shadow didn't mind her sudden burst of energy though, he wouldn't have it any other way. For the first time in who knows how long, he felt relaxed despite what was going on. Suddenly his stomach growled. He couldn't remember the last time he ate and he was already pretty skinny. He decided to look around for something worth eating.
Kayli swam back up from the ocean floor, "Hey! I found anoth-" she stopped. He wasn't there. Puzzled, she swam around to look for him. Finally she found him, gnawing at a chunk of chewy seaweed.
She giggled, "I don't eat that stuff, it tastes bad."
"I don't care, I am really hungry."
"You should've just eaten the fish."
He made a face, "No way. I'm sorry, but I don't eat things alive."
"Ha." Was all she said as he actually managed to swallow the seaweed, having to hold his nose to do so. He proceeded to swim back at the level he was and they continued.
Bored with seashell hunting, Kayli got another idea.
"Hey! Wanna race?!", she asked cheerfully.
"Haha." He replied sarcastically, "You think you can beat me in a race?"
"Maybe, lets find out!"
"Your on. I will even give you a head start, ladies first!" he grinned.
"Fine with me..." She said swimming off. Shadow waited until she could barely be seen and then started after her at top speed.
Kayli kept swimming and turned her head enough to look back and see him rapidly catching up. 'Wow, he's fast!' she though.
Suddenly, she rammed right into something huge. She gained her sense and backed up to see a monster shark bearing teeth at her.
"Wahhhh!" she squealed and swam behind Shadow, putting her arms around his waist. He was slightly surprised, but he turned his attention back to the shark. Without warning it lunged, but barely missed. Shadow turned in the direction it was now in and was on guard.
"I've got this." He said swimming off towards it as she watched. He did a homing attack right at its nose, thankful he could still do it. The shark shook it off and smacked Shadow into a coral reef near by. He opened his eyes to see the shark advancing on him. Its teeth were almost in his face when a lavender flash smacked the shark on the head. It was Kayli's tail.
The shark then advanced on Kayli, until Shadow did another homing attack that sliced half its top fin. Luckily the beast gave up and turned to swim off in pain.
Before Shadow could say anything, Kayli was hugging him.
"You saved me."
"You helped too ya know."
"Well thank you anyway.", she let go of him. "Its getting dark again, time to make camp, I guess."
Shadow sighed, "Another day gone."
She smiled and looked up at him. She was really starting to like him, and thinking about him leaving wasn't so nice. Maybe he would change his mind by then.
They swam down to some coral, and prepared for a big day tomorrow.
