Chapter Twenty-Six

We swam around the Kingdom, meeting new people as seeing things that were around. Nothing seemed as high tech as Atlantis. It all seemed on the verge of being rundown. The buildings were made of simple stone and there wasn't anything used for transportation. The Kingdom also wasn't as big as Atlantis. Jason took me to all the places he loves and told me stories about them. When night came, we went back to the castle, which was in the center of the small Kingdom. It was in better condition than its surroundings. We ate with the King, Queen, Agris, and Amis.

"Come sit next to me, Sweetie." The Queen told Jason, patting the chair closest to her. The King sat on one side of a long table, the Queen on the other. He obeyed her and Agris sat next to me as I sat on the opposite side of the table from Jason. I could feel Agris touching my scales , which made me very uncomfortable. He constantly rubbed a chubby finger on one scale then shifted to the next, staying in the general area of my thigh. Jason's golden eyes glared at him the whole time we ate. Every time Jason moved to get up, the Queen made him sit. She made small conversation, but none of us really replied to her. Agris leaned over, kissing my neck with sticky lips, causing me to throw up in my mouth. I wasn't attracted to any one besides Jason and Agris' actions sickened me. Before I knew what was happening, Agris yelped and fell over in his chair. I had seen something flash across the table, but it moved too quickly for me to actually know what it was. I turned to see that Jason had leapt across the table and pinned Agris to the ground. Agris only responded with a puppy like yelp and waving arms as he tried to slap Jason off. He looked like a fight between babies when they slap each other, but not hard enough to cause pain.

"Jason!" His mother put a hand over her mouth, appalled. The King and Amis didn't move, just simply continued to eat. Jason punched Agris in the face several times causing blood to seep into the water.

"If. You. Ever. Touch. Her.-"

"Enough!" I changed my tail into legs and used my hands to push the water between them apart, locking Jason in swirling water. Agris quickly swam away, his fat tail flapping as fast as it could.

"Jason! I am horrified by your actions!" The Queen got up so fast that I could hear her chair fall over. I released Jason as his angry expression deepened.

"You don't get to be! You set this whole thing up because you miss Pop!" Jason snapped. "You have been evil and conniving ever since and I am done with it! We leave in the morning and we are not coming back." Jason grabbed my hand, leading me back to his room. I imagined steam pumping out of his ears as his face grew red with rage. He let me go, pacing in the room.

"Jason." I said, watching him. He didn't stop. "Jay!" I grabbed him and pulled him close.

"Calm down. It's okay." I took his hand in mine. He was shaking viciously.

"No it's not. She set him up to do horrible things to you." He fumed.

"I'm okay, though. Really." I looked up at him, touching his face with my free hand. "I'm not hurt."

"I-I have to walk around." He pulled away from me and left me in the room alone. I stood in the empty room for a few minutes the laid down on the bed. After about an hour, I fell asleep.

*~~*~~*~~*

Pushing. Pushing and pulling. Pain then pushing again. I opened my eyes, groggy. It was very dark in the room, but someone else was on top of me. Once I realized, fear filled me and I tried to move.

"What the-!"

"Shh." A fat, sticky, hand covered my mouth as something scaly and smooth moved inside me. Realization of what has happening hit me like a train. A scream clawed its way up my throat and out, a force blasting from my body. He flew through a wall as everything else shook and cracked. "I said be quiet!" He came back at me, his scaly penis flopping around. He pinned me down with a strength I didn't know he possessed.

"Get off! GET OFF ME!" I shrieked. Suddenly, lights turned on and a shark squeezed through the window hole. The shark bit the fat rapist by the shoulder, causing me to fall off the bed.

"Filthy rapist." The shark growled as it shook Agris. I huffed as the shark pulled Agris out of the hole. I felt so violated that it made me feel sick. I curled up between the wall and bed, holding myself.

"Blake?!" Jason yelled. Anger and betrayal infused me as Jason found me on the floor. I pulled my shorts on, standing and pushing past Jason. Amis, the King, and the Queen watched the shark outside the window rip Agris' arm off. Thick blood changed the dark water into a dark red.

"Enough, Basque." I told the shark, not looking at him. "He will finish his days rotting in Atlantis' jail. They'll be here soon." I went to the window after a moment.

"Blake, wait!" Jason grabbed me as I started to climb on the shark's back. I glared at him, a force pushing him away. I sat on the shark's back and he swam away with me on his back, the water rushing past me.
