Makoto and the merman
Chapter 4 - The past
It was dark and silent, I coluldn't hear anything. It was cold and I couldn't breath. I sank deeper down into the darkness, I looked up but it was useless, I still couldn't see anything. I tried to reach up because even if it was dark and I couldn't see anything I knew that it was the only way out. I tried my hardest and my head finally broke the surface of the water but as soon as I did a wave came and I once again sank down into the darkness. It happened so fast I didn't get a chance to take a breath and I felt that my oxygen was running out. I started to feel dizzy and I couldn't hold my breath anymore. I was so scared at this point, I was only a kid and this was how it all was going to end. "I'm going to die," I thought as everything went black.
lala la lalala la lala la lalala
I heard someone sing a beatiful melody. A light appeared and my eyes slowly opened. I saw someone that was bending over me. "Are you an angel?" The song stopped and the person that had been bending over me disappeared and I could hear voices calling my name.
"koto..."
"Mako..."
"Makoto!"
My eyes shot open and I sat up in my bed. I heard Nagisa's voice calling my name and knocking on the front door. I got out of bed and walked out of my bedroom and went to the front door. I looked through the peeping hole and saw Nagisa as well as Rei and Rin. I unlocked the door and let them in.
"I'm sorry, did we wake you up?" Rei asked.
"Yes, but ít's fine. I should have been up hours ago anyway." I answered.
"You didn't anwser my call yesterday Mako-chan! Did you forget I said I was going to call you?" Nagisa said in a slightly angry tone.
"I'm sorry, my father called me and..."
"That reminds me! Makoto how was it at the lab? You said your father was going to take you there and show you something," Rei interrupted me.
I started thinking about Haru and I wanted to tell my friends all about him but then I remembered that I wasn't allowed to tell anyone.
"I'm sorry but I'm not allowed to say anything," I answered.
"Come on Makoto," Rin said.
"Yeah come on! Tell us Mako-chan! Nagsa followed.
Nagisa, Rei and Rin looked at me with big eyes that remined me of three puppies.
"No, I really can't," I said.
They all looked a little disappointed but they accepted the fact that I wasn't going to tell them anything. They asked me if I wanted to go with them to the marine park because Rin's little sister Gou had gotten a job there. I said yes and went back into my bedroom and got myself dressed. We stopped on the way to the park at a café so that i could get something to eat. Half an hour later we arrived at the park.
"Wow, look at all the water animals!" Nagisa said enthusiastically.
"Nagisa, you've have been here and seen these animals a million times. You, me and Rin went here every weekend when we were kids." I said.
"I know but they're still awesome!"
We found Gou picking up trash near the penguins.
"You having fun?" Rin asked his sister.
"Nii-san? What are you doing here?" She asked.
She raised her head and noticed that me, Nagisa and Rei were there as well.
"You guys too?"
"We came to check on you to see if you are doing your job," Rin teased.
"Haha, very funny," she said sarcasticly.
We walked around awhile in the park until it was time for Gou's break. We all sat down on two benches outside of the park café. We sat there and chatted as I noticed a sign. A creature like none other! A wonder from the deep sea! Coming soon!
It's apparenly some new mystery animal of some kind." Gou, that had noticed me staring at the sign said.
"Mystery animal..." I thought. "A wonder from the deep sea..." For some reason I got a weid feeling in my stomach when I thought about the sign and what Gou had said.
I got pulled out of my thoughts by my cellphone ringing.
"Hello, Makoto Tachibana here."
"Makoto, It's your father. You have to hurry over to the lab, something incredible is happening."
