Treacherous Reef

We dived underwater for longer time, and the swimming was very familiar like it was my nature; that fruit really had its effect on me. "Why are you swimming like this?" he asked suddenly.

"What?!" I wondered, "I should swim in particular way or something?"

"Do all Darknians swim like this?" he asked again ignoring answering my question.

"Yes, of course."

"Then do not swim like it again." He paused, "Swim like me more, you will be noticed." Alright, I started swimming like he was doing; it was like the diving technique.

After passing a bit of time, I asked him again: "where're we heading?"

"To my home!" he replied

"Yeah! I know, but what's its name? It has a name, right?"

"What is with you and names? You Darknians like to name things a lot." He said, "You named us Bluenians, because we live in the sea, and you named our home Treacherous Reef."

"Wow!" I exclaimed, "It's very odd name, why this name?"

"The reef is very dangerous for Darknians, since you are not capable of swimming like us, so I think that you named it like this." He replied.

"That's reasonable." I said.

"Here it is!" He said suddenly. I could see remarkable domes of all sizes, corals, sea weeds, and what the hell? Isn't this a tree over there? And look to the huge animals there! Oh my God!

"Please, Restrain yourself, you will be noticed." He warned me.

"Alright…alright!" I said, "This is my first time here. If anything should be said about this place they call Treacherous Reef, it should be that it is fascinating. No wonder you live here."

"Dreamy, right!" he said proudly.

"Yes, indeed." I agreed.

"Good Morning!" someone greeted, "Any hunting today?"

"You can say so." He replied, "What about you, Theron?" I think that was that guy's name, by the way, I never asked about his name. Theron said: "I could get two today, Fisk."

"Amazing!" Fisk replied. "I think now we should reach to the center. So, I am sorry I could stay with you longer, but I have to go, you know how it is."

"Of course." Theron said, and went to his way.

"What were you talking about?" I asked.

"Ah! That is something we discussed it before we were going." Fisk said, but it was not any logical not even understandable.

"What you mean?" said I. "I couldn't get what implying!"

He laughed in embarrassment and said: "I am supposedly the best hunter among the Bluenians, and Theron always wants to challenge my abilities of hunting so he asks me a lot how many I hunted."

"I see." I said. "But, don't you seem old for it?"

"Old!" he replied, "Age has nothing to with anything, as long as you can distinguish what is right and wrong, then you are old enough." He paused, "Besides, competing with friends is not children's play."

"I think you are right." I thought.

"Where's your hunt?" I asked.

"You will see as soon as we got where we want to go." He answered.

After a while of swimming, we reached to a very large place with huge dome over it. We entered it from front door, and we were received by two guards standing in front. They both accompanied us silently toward a room filled with small cells and in their middle an empty space like a circle.

"Here is my hunting." He said suddenly.

In a sudden movement, the two guards held my arms and dragged me to one of the empty cells and closed on me.

"It is strange how stupid Darknians are." Fisk said, "I mean I hinted it over three time that you were my hunt, how could you not notice?"

"What?!" I asked, "Why you doing this to me?"

"I am doing nothing to you." He answered coldly, "We have different kind of living. What do you think our fangs are for?" His all set of teeth was fangs.

"We eat Darknians." He answered himself. "Do you think we are cannibals?"

I couldn't say a word any longer. Back to our conversation earlier, he really hinted that we are his food, but in different way; in which no one will understand.

"Now, we will eat you as well." He said.

I kneeled down holding cage's bars, knowing that this form will disappear and then I will be drawn and I will be eaten later. A misery. Suddenly, the water inside my cell and the dome started to drop down, though my head was already above water my body was inside it. Now, that all water dropped down, all my body was above water level. To make things worse, my form started to disappear and returned to who I was.

I stood on my feet and I pleaded: "help! Anybody, please help!" I cried…I yelled…I pleaded again: "Help! Help! Please comeback!"

I had nothing to do anymore, I am going to be eaten alive. Suddenly, the image of my family having dinner together caught up to my mind, and all, I started to think of is my family. Strange! Not long; I do not how long, I was thinking of living my home, my family, and all I know; now I am not sure about it.
