-I think we better go home now...-Chuck said.
-Chuck's right, let's go-My cousin added.
-Let's go guys-Said Fly.
Just before Chuck could take a step, he quickly walked away.
-The tide!-Chuck said scared.
-Shit…-I said quietly.
We moved as far away as possible so that it wouldn't reach us, but it was rising uncontrollably.
-Fly, help!-Stella said, scared in her brother's arms.
-What do we do, Feli?-Said my brother, also in my arms.
It seemed like the end of us, until we saw that Fly discovered a small slot behind the stone. With a little effort the four of us managed to get in with Celia, but someone was missing...
-Where's Chuck?-I asked.
Suddenly I heard a noise and turned around to see Chuck falling down the stairs until he ended up on the floor.
-Hey Chuck, check this place out! It's unbelievable!-Fly said, fascinated.
-Are you okay?-I gave my hand to Chuck to get up.
-This tunnel might get us back for sure!-Fly said.
As I helped Chuck up, he heard drops. We turned around and saw the water seeping through.
-RUN!-Celia shouted.
The six of us started running trying to avoid the water, but it was going so fast that it caught us, we held our breath until they expelled us from above into a kind of cave.
-Is everyone okay?-I asked.
-Yeah, Stella and I are fine-Fly said.
-I think I broke something…-Celia murmured quietly.
Chuck on the other hand had a transparent blue jellyfish on his head and coughed a little.
-What is this place?-Steven said.
-I don't know, let's find out-I answered.
When we all recovered from the fall we went to explore the cave, at first we didn't find anything interesting, but a while later we came across a kind of house-boat at the end of the route.
-Wow...you don't see this every day...-Celia said in a low voice.
-See?-I told her as we walked-I told you it would be cool-I nudged her a little and we continued walking until Fly opened the front door.
Inside there were a lot of fish tanks of many shapes and sizes filled with fish and other sea creatures, it was incredible. Each one began to explore the place until Fly found a diploma.
-Hey, look at this!-Fly told us while holding the diploma-"Profesor McKrill"-
Chuck approached his cousin to read it too.
-A PHD in marine biology…wow-
-Fly…-Stella intervened-Fly, I'm thirsty…-
Fly ignored his sister and we continued along the path:
-That professor can show us the way out!-Fly said.
-M-maybe we should go-Chuck said-A brilliant scientist probably won't like being disturbed by ordinary people like us…-
As Fly walked fascinated with everything, he bumped into a figure of a small stuffed fish.
-Check out this fish! "California flyfish", hey that's a good looking fish!-
Suddenly murmurs were heard and we quietly approached a fish tank with empty water where we saw a tall figure doing experiments.
-Fly, I'm thirsty!-Stella said.
Fly and Steven tried to silence her, but it was too late.
