I saw her looking for me as I hid behind a coral reef. I slowly moved out from behind the coral and taged her. "Ha got you" "you're too good at this Oceania" "I know I am," I said while flipping my brown hair out of my face. "I will always be better than you at this game" "hey!" Azure grabbed for me. I swam away from her, she chased me till I ran into someone. "Sorry," I said as I looked up into brown eyes. "What do you think you are doing miss" "I-i'm sorry sir" " you know what the rule is miss". I stopped breathing when he said that. The rule that the old king made was stupid if a girl ran into a man, the man could punish her, and the new king hasint gotten around to changing it. He held up his hand, as my eyes widened but I close them waiting for the pain, But it never came. "Leave her alone sir" "you can't tell me...." I looked up and saw the prince."Y-your highness" "want to say that again sir" "no your highness" "then leave her alone". The man left "Oceania!" Azure came up to me "are you..." I flowed were her eyes where looking and I came face to face with the prince. "Y-your h-highness" I still wasn't breathing "are you ok miss" "y-yes" he smiles as he grabs my hand and kissed it as he left "a man of few words" Azure sighed "but a handsome man of few words" I rolled my eyes as I turned and went home.

I sighed as I entered my aunt's house as she yelled in my face "Oceania!" "Yes aunt" "I am going out do you need anything?" a reason why the prince kissed my hand "no" "ok, I will be back soon". I went upstairs and after a while, I fell asleep. Later I heard the frount door open "Evie?" I got up and slowly went to the stairs. "Evie?" My eyes widened as I saw a fish person standing in the hallway doorway. "Hello pretty" I slowly backed up to go back to my room "no moving sweetheart" he came closer I wanted to move but I was too scared. He grabbed for me and then the frount door slammed open. He grabbed me and turned around putting a knife to my throat."Let go of her!" I saw the royal guards pointing their staffs at him. "Never you guys are fools" he grabbed something out of his pocket and threw it on the ground. Leaving a cloud of smoke. I swam out if the cloud of smoke running into someone again. "Miss are you ok" "yeah" "Oceania" my aunt came in dropping her multiple shopping bags. "Guard I'm sure my niece did nothing wron..." the grad held up his hand. "Miss did you know we are at war with the fish people" " Yes I do,my brother died in it". I remember that day. We got a letter saying: we are sorry for your loss, James Petter Seliven has died in battle. I got caught up thinking about that day while my aunt bickered with the guards. "Where do you think you are going miss" someone pulled me by the hair "ow" I held my head "why did you let him in your house" "why would I let one of those beast in my house, when they killed my father" "Jack stop it" "what you, said to ask questions" "we don't ask those types of questions" "oh, sorry" "don't do it again Jack" the head guard scolded him as I went back up to my room to read.
