Under the waves: chapter 8
Pearl floated there, stunned. What others? What locked door? She shook her head and swam to the exit. “Wait.” Trench said, the first time he actually spoke after he found his dead sister. Pearl turned to him, confused. “Pearl.. do think that was.. a prophecy?” He said. “Maybe. I wonder how we’ll find ‘the others’.” She responded. “Maybe it’s magic?” Trench guessed. She shrugged. “I wonder who managed to kill all of these creatures. Even a mosasaur!” Pearl snarled. “I don’t know. We should look, though.” Trench said. Almost as soon as they swam out of the rubble a net was thrown in front of them. Pearl hissed, veering back. But trench didn’t see the net and was trapped in it. “NO!” Pearl screeched as trench was being dragged away by the humans. She swam after them as fast as she could, but couldn’t catch up. She surfaced to catch her breath. Then, pearl was aware of something strange. The water crackled with electricity. Her veins glowed like they were filled with lightning. She raced after the rafts, fueled by new speed. It began to rain. She caught up in less than a minute, and as if she commanded it herself, a lightning hold struck down from the sky and destroyed the raft, shattering it into pieces. The rain subsided, and she stopped glowing. Replacing her energy was exhaustion, and she couldn’t move. Breathing heavily, she floated on the surface, trying to regain her strength. The. She saw trench in the net, slowly sinking. He would drown for sure. She swam down and heaved him up, which was a very hard task as she was already exhausted and trench was large then her. Then trench woke up. “Ow… everything hurts.” He groaned. “Are you ok? What happened?” Pearl asked him. “You started glowing a little and your eyes turned BLUE. The it started to rain and.. everything flashed white. I.. don’t know after that.” He answered. “Pearl… I think that prophecy the mechalodon gave us… I think your one of the ‘others’.” He said. And he was probably right.
