Hello everyone. It is good to see you are reading my story. (I look dishelved and a bit bruised). Sorry for the appearance. Some nut tackled me while I was in the background. You want to know the weird thing. The weird thing was that this person thought I was Blowhole. I mean really. I look nothing like him. I have both my eyes. Now moving past this, here is the story.
Weeks had gone by, since the day that his minions had captured Katrina. Dr. Blowhole could not put a word to how he was feeling. Every moment of these weeks, the sweet and attractive human was on his mind. He was at the moment doing so, while through the streets in his human form. Usually he wouldn't to be anywhere near humans, but Katrina was persistent. Now, though, he didn't mind their presence. He sometimes felt so confident out, that he thought of paying the Pen-gu-ins a visit, just to bug them. He just laughed the idea off when it formed. 'They're smarter than you like to believe.' He thought. 'It wouldn't be wise to risk myself for no good reason.'
While walking down the streets of New York, he came across a small sushi restaurant. His stomach started to growl. 'What better way to have raw fish in public, then at a sushi restaurant.' He thought. He went over to it. Before entering the building, his cellphone started to ring. He looked at it and found it was from his lair. Blowhole growled. He answered. "What is it?" He said.
"Boss." The lobster said on the other end of the line. "We did it. The newest weapon is complete."
"Yeah, woop-dee-doo." Blowhole said, half heartedly. "Now can you just shut up? I'm about to have my lunch. I prefer them when I don't have to talk with complete imbecilic people like you. It totally ruins my appetite."
"Boss, you don't sound too excited about this." The lobster questioned.
"Not really, no." Blowhole said, while sitting down at a table. "I'm a little busy right now." A waiter approached him and handed him the menu. "Thank you." He said to the waiter.
"Boss, did you just say thank you?" The lobster said.
Blowhole started to tap the table in annoyance. "And what of it?" He said. "I am your boss; I can do whatever I want."
"It's just that, ever since Katrina…" The lobster started.
"Don't you ever say anything against her, do you hear me?" Blowhole said, his temper rising. "Now that I think about it, why are you talking to me like this? I am your boss, the nefarious Dr. Blowhole. I can easily send your carapace all the way to Asia. I bet they would love you there." He could hear a faint gulp. "Well it seems my point has come across."
"But boss, what about the weapon?" The lobster said.
Blowhole then thought of his new weapon. Yes, he could use it, exact his revenge on the human species. Yet, when he thought of using it, Katrina popped into his head. Her face, voice, and everything else. He was flooded with emotions of joy. Then, he thought of using it again. Another image of Katrina popped up. In the middle of the debris of the city, he could see her. Half crushed under the rubble, as pale as a human could be. She was lifeless. That thought scared him off the weapon. "No." He finally said. "I will not…" Then, something caught his ear.
"I think I'll order." A voice said.
Blowhole cringed when he heard the voice. Terror and anger both swelled up inside him. 'Why?' He thought, even when he knew the reason. That all too familiar voice would ever be etched into his mind. He turned around. His eyes flew as wide as they go. In the restaurant, not a few feet away, was a large, well-muscled man. When he saw him, Blowhole initially wanted to run for his life. Then, he thought of just going over there and killing the man. The man looked down at the menu, with a faint smile on his face. 'He's smiling.' Blowhole thought. 'The man is smiling. How can he be smiling? After all that he did to me. That accursed skipper.' He then proceeded to get u from his chair and walk out of the building. He picked up the phone. "I've had a change of heart." He said. The earlier image of Katrina's body was replaced with his mother's. They both were grim, but only one was real. His remaining eye twitched. "Get the weapon ready. We have work to be done."
(Flashback)
It had been a few years since Katrina's visits had started and Leon was overjoyed by them. They were the greatest of friends. They would play and talk (although she couldn't understand him, but she liked to just listen to him anyway.) He couldn't have been happier. He was waiting for her, like always. She didn't keep him waiting. "Hello, Leon." She said to him.
He swam up to her. "Hello, Katrina." Leon said, even though he knew she couldn't hear him. He did it anyway. 'Funny, how animals can talk to each, yet humans are so deaf.' He thought, but expelled it soon afterwards. He never liked thinking anything bad about anyone, while Katrina was around.
"How was your day?" Katrina asked, while petting him.
"Fine." Leon chirped. He then used his blowhole to spray water up into her face. She laughed and he joined in.
"Playful today, are we." Katrina said, smiling her dazzling smile. "I'll be right back." She then went to the human building. Leon swam excitedly around the pool. He always loved swimming with her. They were the highlights of the evening. He sometimes, during these swims, pictured her as a dolphin. It was made him laugh. She came back a moment later, with her full body swim suit. She jumped into the pool and Leon swam up to her. He nuzzled her neck, which made her giggle. Katrina splashed water onto him. He backed off and reeled out of the water. Using a trick, he kept sending wave after wave of water at her. Katrina laughed, as she shielded herself with her arms. "Okay." She said. "I get it." Leon stopped and swam up to her. She smiled and started to swim. He swam right beside her all the way. He could see Edward looking at them, smiling. Leon was utterly happy.
Then, he heard a voice. "Hey, I hear something." Leon remembered what had happened earlier that day. Katina's night time visits were kept in secret for a while, but the night guard caught them eventually. The old man was nice and let Katrina come back every once and a while. The old man had died recently, which saddened him very much. He was replaced by two men, earlier that day. He didn't know how they would react to Katrina being there. He soon would find out.
One of the men came over to the tank. "Hey, you're not supposed to be here." He called out to Katrina. "Get out of the pool right this instance."
"Make me." Katrina said, playfully.
The other guy came over to them. "What's going on here?" He asked.
"We got a woman in the dolphin tank." The first man said. "She doesn't want to come out."
"Really, I hadn't noticed." Katrina said, before laughing. Leon laughed as well.
The first man growled. "Don't push me." He said.
The second man looked at her. "Okay, young lady, you get out this instance." He said.
"Okay, okay." Katrina said, swimming over to them. When she reached the side, the first man roughly picked her up. "Ouch." She yelped. Leon glared at the man. The man than smacked her across the face. She cried out.
Leon couldn't take that. He swam forward and bit down upon his arm. The man howled his pain and let go of the Katrina. Edward had come onto the scene and was pecking at the second man, who had his arms up, protecting his face. The man Leon was dealing with took out his flashlight. He came down hard onto Leon's eye, causing him much pain. Leon let go and swam a short distance away. He tried to open his eye, but it remained shut. He heard Katrina scream for him. He looked through his other eye to see the first man drag her away. The second man had taken out a dagger and plunged it into Edward. "No." Leon swam toward the sea gull. The two men walked away, dragging Katrina with them.
Leon looked down upon the elderly sea gull. "You're going to be alright." He said to him. "You're going to get better."
Edward just stared at him. The stab wound on his chest looked really bad. "Forgive." He said, before passing away.
"Don't go, please." Leon said. "You haven't even told me what to forgive. Please, you have to tell me." There was no answer. Leon's heart was cracking. He whimpered, before hearing Katrina scream out for him. "Katrina." He yelled out, his heart utterly falling to pieces. The world was crumbling around him. 'No.' He thought. 'Not again.'
Thank you for reading. Just to let you know, the two guards didn't do anything else bad to her. They just dumped her off at her place. Just wanted to let you people know that. Till next time. Oh and I've put up security so no one's going to tackle me again. (Yeah, I know it was you 'mutated-ducks-rule'. I'll be keeping an eye on you)
