Chapter 11: The Ocean of Darkness
Gwen's P.O.V
My eyes stared up at the humongous creature as it stared back down at us. When the sun finally came into its view, I got to see its whole body. (Search up what a Hippocampus Mythology looks like!) It had hazel eyes as its teal scaled glimmered the sunlight's reflection. It was about 50 feet tall, and its tail was sticking out of the water from behind it, and it also looked like 30 feet tall.
"What is an Agofish?" Cody finally stood up and said as he stared back at it too.
"It is a fish that lures its prey with its yellow light that paralyzes the prey if looked at. If I wasn't there to save you Cody, you would've drowned!" it spoke in Bridgette's voice as she lowered her head down to us.
"Bridgette, its you! We need your help to bring us down to an underwater cave!" my words spoke in relief as I walked over to pet her head.
Her fins were also a blonde color, like how her hair was. When I looked back at Cody, he slowly walked over next to me as if he was scared to come towards her. After all, he did almost drown, so maybe that was it. He's been acting weird lately ever since the haunted mansion and I need to find out what it is!
"Bridgette, our book said that we had to give you a gift!? We have something to give you but you need to give us the ability to breathe underwater because we have to find a cave," he slowly asked as he reached his hands into his pockets and pulled out the three needles and showed it to her.
Suddenly, she closed her eyes for a few seconds like she was meditating. Cody started to lower his hands but then her hazel eyes flashed open again as she replied.
"Oh, these have been used in an extremely torturous past (hums) oh, and it involved Cody!" she replied in her sweet voice as we both listened.
"Umm, yeah, so are you going to take them," Cody asked in a confused voice as he walked closer to me.
"Just go throw them into the hole over there!" Bridgette replied as her fin pointed to a giant hole laced over in gold and blue symbols that was near the water on the sand.
When he flew over there, he dropped them into it, and then out of nowhere, a humongous wave of water sprouted out of it (like a geyser.) Due to that, Cody was startled and flew back into the ground.
"We need you to somehow make us able to breathe underwater," my words explained as I walked over to Cody to help him up.
"Okay, I got the exact thing!" she replied as a big breeze pushed us into the water.
Startled, my body started to splash around, but I then realized that there was a big bubble around my head that gave off light so that we could see. As I looked around in the black waters, I saw a tail swishing around in front of me. Then out of nowhere, there was a big wave of water that came crashing into our bodies as it pushed us farther into the water.
I soon realized that Bridgette has jumped into the water right next to us, which caused the big wave.
"Cqky, lfts sjoy tughetr (Cody, let's stay together)," my words said, but I realized that you couldn't really talk underwater.
Since I couldn't communicate with him, I decided to grab his hand and pull him along with me as we searched for the cave.
Cody's P.O.V
I hadn't heard the voice for a long time, and the last time was the dream. What does it mean that it'll be watching me? Will it forever haunt me!? Never mind that, we need to find the underwater cave because that supposedly leads us to out next location. Wait, Gwen never read what to do after we go in it!? I guess that we have to read more when we go in it.
When I turned around to look at Gwen, I suddenly felt her hand grip my hand as she pulled me lower into the water, causing me to panic. For some reason now, I don't like water. Probably since my powers involve fire… or maybe that I don't want to drown again! I don't like being able to communicate underwater because what if something important is going on and we have to warn each other about it.
As we went deeper into these mysterious waters, all I could see was a rocks at the bottom of the water, and guess what they had in them, gems (so the moonlight could come down here too!?) That thought made me uncomfortable, but we continued to swim past them. I suddenly realized that the rocks were in a line, like a trail! As my finger tapped Gwen's shoulder, I pointed at the unusual environment as this time; I pulled her along with me.
Who would've guessed that I would be holding hands with Gwen? I wouldn't ever imagine this happening before the event. I guess I'm really lucky being her pet! That means I get to spend time with her, like this time. But of course I have to be careful because you know why.
When we kept on swimming alongside the trail, there was a light zapping in the distance. As we got closer, it started to come at us. When my eyes got a closer look, it was an eel! I can't get electrocuted AGAIN!
My hands quickly alerted Gwen as I began to swim as fast as I could away from it while holding her hand. When I looked past my shoulder, I saw more eels coming after us! We have to find the cave, and fast. Suddenly, I spotted it! It was a few feet away from us, but the problem was the entrance size. It was only big enough to fit one person at a time through it.
"Cqky, ypu gq frst (Cody, you go first)," I heard her mumble.
I think she means for me to go first into it. Bu that means if I don't hurry, she will get shocked! The last time she was attacked by eels was in Jamaica! I hesitated as we went closer to it, with the eels right behind us. But she motioned her hands for me to quickly crawl into it, so I guess she insists on me going first.
As I started to quickly crawl in, the unexpected happened. My bubble popped halfway through it! I suddenly went into panic as I started to lose my oxygen. What should I do!? Bridgette was nowhere near us, and even if she was, we were way too deep for her to bring me up to the surface in time!
As my eyes quickly looked around, I saw that Gwen was getting shocked! I have to save her! My body swiftly backed out of the small space as I went towards Gwen. Her eyes widened as she saw that I did not have a bubble. My eyes quickly flashed, but nothing happened, and my vision was still normal. Out of nowhere, my hands started to quickly grab the eels off of her as I threw them behind me.
I could feel my heard beating in my own chest has there was a ringing in my ears. I started to suddenly feel light headed as I was starting to drown! Gwen noticed what was going on and quickly shoved me through the hole. When we finally got in, I started to choke in the water. I can't die AGAIN! Suddenly, I noticed that at there was a surface in the cave! But I was unable to move my body because I went into shock. Before I blacked out, I felt Gwen swiftly pull me up out of the water and put me on the cave ground.
I awoke in the same dark place. So I'm guessing that every time I sleep, I come to this mysterious place. I was fully transformed as I sat criss-cross on the ground, waiting to wake up again.
"Wow, that was a close one," the voice exclaimed from behind me as I continued to stare down at the black ground.
"I don't want to talk to you right now, I just want to wake up again," I mumbled in a harsh tone as I calmed myself down from everything that just happened.
My thoughts raced through my mind as I tried to process everything that happened back there. I just realized that Gwen keeps on saving me! Am I really not that strong, and I'm just a wimp that relies on someone else to save me!?
"No Cody, you know when you are transformed, you could've done so much stuff back there like quickly go back up to the surface in less than a second, and then go back down to save Gwen. Your powers get stronger and stronger each hour of ever day!" to explained as I looked in its direction.
How could it read my thoughts? Oh wait, this is my mind, duh.
"Whatever you say, but I'm never transforming again in front of Gwen, and you can do nothing to change my mind," I mumbled as I still sat in the same position.
"Okay, but if you ever need to change, just close your eyes for 5 seconds and think of the moonlight! I have granted you the power to do that!" it replied as the dark started to become light.
I suddenly opened my eyes as I saw Gwen staring back into them. The expression of relief washed over her face as she stood up.
"You're alive!" she happily said as she reached out her hand to help me up.
Out of nowhere, when I stood up, she suddenly grabbed me and hugged me as tightly as she could. So now, this time she hugs me. Having the chance, I did the same back, and she allowed it.
"Thank you for saving my life again the second time!" I whispered in an grateful voice as she grabbed the book out and sat on the cave ground.
As my eyes scanned the area, I realized that we were in a small space in the cave that could probably only fit three people. At least we had oxygen. The top of the cave was about 6 feet tall, and good for that because I'm really small (smol boi (^∇^) .)
But I then realized that there was no way out besides going back into the black waters.
"Um, Gwen, where do we go next?" I asked her as she flipped through the pages.
"After going into the cave, you have to crawl through the tunnel in it," she read aloud, but when we looked around, there was no tunnel!
Um, maybe it was blocked up over time. I mean, that book could've been written like, a few decades ago.
"Okay, what's next?" I asked as my body sat down right next to her.
When I did that, she smiled at me as I leaned against her. She is actually letting me do this! Maybe she is starting to like me because she has been holding my hands and hugging me!
"When you get out of the tunnel, you'll end up in Revealious Forest. The forest is like a never ending labyrinth, and the only way to get out is by telling your deepest darkest secrets to each other! After that, you'll then be taken to a jungle where the majestic Yale immortal awaits to give you the challenge before you can journey on," she continued as my heart dropped.
Deepest darkest secrets, I have those. I can't tell her about everything that's happing inside my mind right now! I wonder what secrets she'll have, but what am I going to do!?
Suddenly, there was a loud roar that echoed into the cave, as it came from the surface of the water. It sounded like Bridgette! Out of nowhere, I started to hear a rush of water coming towards our cave. The next thing we knew, the water suddenly started to rise up to our feet.
"The water is rising! We have to get out of here by finding the hole!" Gwen shouted in a gasp as we quickly went to the cave wall.
After searching for a long time, when the water got up to my shirt, I realized that we were going to have to end up breaking the wall for the tunnel! I'm not strong enough to do that, and Gwen can't break it open with her swords!
"Transform," the voice whispered in my mind out of nowhere.
Not in front of Gwen! I can't do that to her. But if we also don't do anything, we're going to both end up dead due to the rising water. When it got up to our necks, I stared and looked into her eyes, I realized that she started to cry.
"I know you can be revived, but I can't. I don't want to die like this!" she whispered in a sad voice as she closed her eyes and suddenly grabbed my hand in the water.
I have to transform! That made up my mind. I know I said I was never going to do it, but in this situation, I have to do it to save Gwen! Before it went over our mouths, I started to speak.
"It's okay Gwen, everything will be okay," I told her as the water went over us completely.
Her grip was tight on my hand as I tried to pull away.
"Okay okay okay, I'm doing this," I thought as I closed my eyes for five seconds and pictured the deadly red light that flashed from the moon.
When I opened my eyes, I realized that my vision was red and I was fully transformed. When I stared back at Gwen, I realized that her eyes were fully closed as her mouth was wide open in the water.
