Under the waves: chapter 4

(Thanks for the support!)

Pearl was pulled to the back of the largest raft, and they hooked the net onto it before they started heading for land. She could hear the humans yelling and cheering at their success in capturing her. Smug little things. Eventually they calmed down, then, as they were headed to a shore, she saw something pass the raft underwater. She peered at it, trying to get a better look, but it had disappeared again. Before pearl knew it, it was getting dark. The humans seem to be afraid of the dark, so they park the rafts at a nearby island, eventually, with nothing else to do, pearl fell asleep.

“Psst!” Pearl jumped awake, startled. She looked around, but she didn’t see anyone. Was she hallucinating? At least the humans were still asleep. “Hey!” The voice whispered again. More agitated than anything, pearl submerged again, trying to fall back asleep. Then a sharp nip on her fin. Pearl whirled around, baring her teeth. And, staring right at her, was another plesiosaur.
