Open Waters (Hayley Fhuze, Michelle Aquaries)

~Michelle Aquaries

Skipping school. I skip school you skip school, he skips school, she skips shcool, it skips school, we all skip school. Bottom line, I am skipping school. I head down to the docks, and see a girl from my class, Haley, she must have had the same "lets skip school" revalation that I did. I walk up to her, and speak.

"Its against the rules to skip school ya know, Hales. Which makes it even the more fun to do. Wanna fish together?", I ask, because Haley is cool, so it will be better with company than by myself. I guess. I feel the cool summer, and ocean breeze. I smell it. It smells like my father, before he died. He would go fishing and come home, smelling of salt, water, and fish, my favorite smell in the world. I take it in, and relax.

Suddenly, my teacher, and Haley's teacher, Mrs. Soggs, comes up to my boat, and says,"I had a feeling I would find you here Ms. Aquaries, but you, Ms. Haley, you are a good student, so it will be a shame to take you both back to school for ISS"Oh hell no. That is not happening. I grab Haley's arm and shove her into her Dads boat, cut the rope with my knife, and jump in. Mrs. Soggs looks shcoked as Haley and I float away in her boat. Because we are skipping school.

(((OOC: Sweat Pea, my character is a girl, named Michelle, and the teacher was a Mrs. too lol but that is okay)))

She starts screaming at me like I did something wrong, but I just saved her. If Mrs. Soggs tells the principle, my step-father, that I snuck out with a friend, he will laugh and say,"Oh Michelle, always doing that haha". So I decide to tell Haley that.

"Listen Hales, we will NOT get into trouble, my step-father, who loves me more than anything in the world, is the principle, did you not know that? He will defend us, and neither of us will get in trouble, my step-dad will laugh and smile at my courage to sneek out, so calm down please, and enjoy the day", I say to her as I fling my head back and let my skin absorb the suns rays.

I pull out the trident that my step-father gave me for my thirteenth birthday, it is what I fish with. A large catfish swims by the boat, and Haley's fishing pole doesn't catch it, so I lunge my trident into the water. I hit the return button on my wrist, and the trident flies up into my hand, with a catfish on the middle point.

Haley dives right into the water with a net as I jab my trident into a flounder. Haley cmoes up with a net full of fish, making my trident look weak almost. Crap. I am impurest. I smile, and congratulate her.

I step off the boat in my pretty cute lime-green bikini. I feel the cool water on my skin as I plunge under water, into the clear blue soft stuff that I learned to love at age 3. I kick my legs and swing my arms, and I swim forwards, stabbing 9 fish on my trident. I swim up to the surface, hop onto the boat, and fling my trident-fish-ka-bob into the cooler, where I will keep the fish until I get home.

(((OOC:Um, my bad, but uh, when your character is speaking, put the words in "" those. Ex: -I see Hayley and decide to say hi. "Hey Haley! How are you?", I ask.- And I would also recommend color coding the speaking words, jsut so it doesn't confuse your fellow RP-ers! I noticed you do that perfectly, it was just that last post lol but it's totally okay!)))

She asks my name."Your name is Hayley, I know that because we have SEVEN classes together! But, my name is Michelle Aquaries.", I say to her. Ugh. I can't believe she doesn't even remember my name.

I stab at more fish, but find myself missing now that I am all worked up. I stab to hard once and it goes into my shoe. Great. Just what I need. I take it out, thankful that it didn't penetrate my foot, and throw it into the ocean, not knowing where it will go, or what it will hit. My bracelet flashes, meaning that my trident hit something. I hit the button, and it flashes. The trident comes back to me, with something very surprising on it. A necklace made of pure gold and pearls. Well, that will be worth a million.

Hayley says that something isn't right, and in the next few motnhs, we discover that on our adventures together, but right now, on this boat, in the middle of the ocean, we find it out, because the necklace explodes and destroys the boat, and flings Hayley and I into the water.

Just like a few years ago, when I caught a bracelet, and it exploded. . . . .THE FISHER SOCIETY, they are still after me. Oh God. They know I am here."HALEY, GET OUT OF THE WATER! NOW!"

Hayley is doomed. She is closer to shore than me, and the men that I recognize much to well are waiting for her, for me. I yell at her to stop swimming, to go underwater, but she doesn't listen.

I swim as fast as I can, and manage to beat her to the shore. I hail my trident in a attack position, and wait with Hayley there beside me for the men to come. They do in just a few seconds, and attempt grabbing at Hayley. I impale one of them and toss Hayley a knife to use, and crouch in a safety position to fight, because we won't escape this by just hoping, this will be a battle.

The unthinkable has happened. A man comes behind Hayley, and cuts her back, and sends her crumpling to the ground. No. Not again. These guys already killed my best friend Piper this way, it cannot, because I WILL NOT let it happen again. I let out a battle cry as my trident finds the mans heart. I press my button just as he dies, and when it comes flieng back to me, I duck. It misses me, and soars through the air, into another mans head.

There are three left. One goes to grab Hayley when I stab him with a knife, and send a trident at another, leaving just one. I run up to him, and stick my trident to his thingy. I stab it in as hard as I can, and he dies. I drop down next to Hayley, a brave girl who held her own very well in this fight. Her breathing is fine, but I can tell that she is in massive pain. I press my lips to hers, not in a creepy way, but to pump fresh air into her.

She shows no sign of improvement. I throw her over my back, and run to the hospital. I start feeling really, extremely tired, when I pass out from exhaustion, before we get to the hospital. The last thought that crosses my mind is that I hope Hayley makes it.
