In Love With a Fishman

Chapter 6: Written In Stone

"What do you mean?! How could you lose my bride! I'll kill you all!" Charloss yelled as he held his golden pistol in his hand.

"Please spare us, we'll find her right away!" The soldier said in fear.

"You better or else I'll feed you to my fish." Charloss said as uncovered a tank full of piranhas.

"Those useless idiots will never find her. Call him immediately!" Charloss said.

"Yes sir." The maid said as she bowed.

"You're not going to get away from me my little princess." Charloss said with a devilish smile.

~Fishman Island~

Ivy squeaked loudly as she felt a shiver run up her spine while sitting in the tub.

"You okay?" Hody asked as he sat at the door.

"Yea I'm fine; I just got an odd chill that's all." Ivy said still shivering from the odd sensation.

Ivy got out of the tub and began to dry off. Once she put on her clothes she started to dry out her hair and straighten it. As she walked to the bathroom door there sat Hody. He was lying on his side with his head propped up on his arm.

"I don't see why you feel the need to protect me so much. I can fend for myself." Ivy said as she pouted.

"You can fend for yourself?" Hody asked opening one eye to look at her.

"Yes I can." Ivy said.

"Alone and against a fishman? I think not." Hody said as he stood from his place on the floor and walked back to his room.

"What makes you think that I'm that weak? I bet I can kick your butt." Ivy said with a smirk growing on her face. Hody stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.

"Wipe that smirk off of your face. You'd lose the moment you got within 3 feet near me, plus I don't fight women." Hody said as he continued to walk.

"What if that woman tried to murder you every day of the week?" Ivy asked.

"Then I'd throw her in a cage and swallow the key." Hody said with a serious look on his face.

Ivy was dumbfounded at what the large fishman just said. Hody just snickered and went to his room.

"Liar." Ivy said flatly and walk back to her room.

~A Few Hours Later~

Ivy was sound asleep in her bed smiling in content at the softness of the covers. She heard a silent curse as someone walked in the hall. She lazily rubbed her eyes and quietly snuck to the door and peeked out of it. When she looked at the end of the hall that she heard the noise from and she saw a large figure going down the stairs.

"Where in the hell is he going?" Ivy thought then slipped on her house shoes and went after him.

Ivy snuck down the stairs to see no one in sight. She went to the kitchen being sure she kept her eyes open for anything. She looked into the kitchen and saw it empty as well.

"Where in the hell did he go?" Ivy asked herself silently as she looked around and listened closely for the large fishman.

She soon saw a large shadow looming over and went ridged as she heard a light chuckle.

"I may be a liar but it's better than being nosey." Hody said as he folded his arms over his chest as he smirked down at her.

"Sue me." Ivy said as she shrugged.

"Might as well bring you with me since you're awake." Hody said as he lifted Ivy over his shoulder and went out of the door.

"Why do I have to go with you?! I wanna stay in my bed." Ivy hissed with a frown as she tried to get out of his grip.

"It's your punishment for being a nosey human." Hody said with a smile as he walked.

"Whatever. Just don't drop me." Ivy said as she looked down at the ground with fear at how high she was.

"Chicken." Hody said while laughing.

"Not my problem that I don't want to be brain damaged from you dropping me. Plus how would you be able to explain why you had me outside and over your shoulder?" Ivy asked with a smirk.

"Good point, well then you can walk on your own feet." Hody said as he put Ivy on her feet lightly.

"Where are we going anyway?" Ivy asked after a few minutes of endless walking.

"Close your eyes and hold on tight." Hody said as he placed a bubble over her head and picked her up in his arms.

Ivy held onto him tightly as they swam at an alarming fast speed. Everything went by so fast that she felt like she was getting sick. Hody looked at her face to see her quickly shut her eyes.

"Didn't I tell you to close your eyes?" Hody asked as he frowned at her.

"My eyes are closed." Ivy gritted as she held onto him for dear life.

"I just saw you open them stupid." Hody said as he rolled his eyes.

"I feel like I'm being crushed at how fast you're going." Ivy said as she felt Hody's head turn to look at her.

"A few more minutes, I'll just slow down a bit. I keep forgetting how tiny you are." Hody said as if he was holding back a laugh.

"That's not funny you asshole." Ivy said as she felt like hitting him in the face.

"I wasn't trying to be funny." Hody said with a small smile.

"Yeah right." Ivy said sharply.

"We're here." Hody said as he came to a stop.

Ivy opened her eyes and looked around in awe. She was in complete shock at what she was looking at.

"This is the Sea Forest." Ivy said as she felt happy memories as she looked around.

"You know this place?" Hody asked with a raised eyebrow.

Hot tears roll down her cheeks as she took off into a sprint to the one place that's she loved and when she made it over the hill of orange flowers she saw it, a small gravestone under a tree. She stopped and stood over the well-designed stone with the name written in beautifully drawn cursive letters.

"What the hell was that all about?" Hody said as he ran up to her and looked in front of her.

"Here lies Fay Corel Seabream, An angel with love for all and loved by all." Hody read slowly as he looked at the gravestone.

Dun Dun Dun! What will happen next? You'll see in the next chapter! See ya then. XD
