TRAPPED

THE SEA

THE SEA

Jan 17, 2023

The next day they were suddenly awaken by the sound of a loud alarm. 

ROBOT:" Good morning survivors! Today you'll be starting the second stage of the game. please prepare yourself, your second task is to cross the sea and reach to the other side safe and sound. You'll be given a ship with necessary tools and water, therefore it will be your duty to find your own food, you can all use any means necessary to obtain food, weather you choose to kill other people for it or you can raid their ships the choice is yours. the time to start begins now!" 

The walls around them slowly began to disappear, they immediately find themselves on a ship in the sea. they searched the ship and found tools such as fishing rods, nets and water. 

ADDIJAH:" fishing items! i suppose these are the tools they mentioned. we're supposed to catch our own food! awesome! catching food is going to be a piece of cake because the sea is one of my stronghold's" 

YUKIO:" you can swim?" 

ADDIJAH:" yeah! but not only that. i spent most of my time spear fishing, sometimes i do it with my dad or my cousins." 

ELLIS:" that explains the spear i saw you with when we just met." 

ADDIJAH:" yeah. actually, before i was dragged here i was on my way home after a long day of spear diving. i only have a total of three spears left, the other one was eaten by that snake along with the giant fly." 

YUKIO:" snake! you mean those giant, scary snake with those long, massive sharp teeth?" 

ADDIJAH:" yeah! judging by your reaction you also came across one!" 

YUKIO:" yeah! it scared the crap outta me, it's attack is nothing iv'e seen before. i was lucky to escape due to the large crowd i was traveling with, i waited until it was distracted then make a run for it along with those guys you saved me from." 

ELLIS:" i also came across one. it looked like it's stomach was full so it didn't attack us." 

YUKIO:" well aren't you a lucky one!" 

ADDIJAH:" both of you guys were very lucky compared to the situation i had to face alone, fighting that huge snake by myself was no easy task." 

ELLIS & YUKIO:" whatttttt!!" 

ELLIS:" for real? how'd you escape?" 

ADDIJAH:" i let it eat that huge fly, but what i didn't know was that the fly had acid in it's abdomen so when the snake swallowed the fly the acid began to melt it from the inside out." 

YUKIO:" wow, sounds cool." 

ELLIS:" your'e pretty brave. if it were me i would probably shit my pants and get eaten by it." 

ADDIJAH:" hahaha! anyways... let's look for somewhere out of sight, i'll be the one on food duty, yukio, you'll be the lookout and ellis-." 

ELLIS:" i'll assist you with catching the food. i can swim pretty well.'' 

ADDIJAH:" alright then.'' 

They moved the ship and hid it behind a huge rock. 

ADDIJAH:" this is one large rock! i bet there's a lot of fishes underneath.'' 

Addijah dugged into his bag and took out a pair of flippers, goggles and diving suit. he handed a pair to ellis then he began to adjust the spears.

ELLIS:" i'm surprised you have extra's carrying around with you.'' 

ADDIJAH:" it's just a habit! my dad always tell me that no matter where i'm going i must always have an extra of everything i'll be needing the most, and that speech has been stuck with me ever since.'' 

ELLIS:" your dad sounds like an amazing person.'' 

ADDIJAH:" he is! thank you for the compliment.'' 

After addijah was finished adjusting the spears he took his clothes off and begins to put on his diving suit. Ellis noticed that addijah had a scar on his right leg and asked

ELLIS:" that's a pretty bad scar you got there. how'd you get it? if you don't mind me asking.'' 

ADDIJAH:"a shark attack! i was around the age of six at the time, i was swimming with my friends, we were racing to see who's the fasest swimmer, we got so far out without noticing and by the time we realizied it was too late, we were being surrounded by a great white shark. i saw that the first person the shark was after was my cousin who tagged along, without thinking i swam over towards him and pushed him out of the way, and in that same moment the shark's dorsal fin ( the one at the top of it's head) scraped me on the leg. luckily tho we were saved by a fisher man who was passing by on his boat.'' 

ELLIS:" that must've hurt like crazy.'' 

ADDIJAH:" yeah it did hurt a lot! but what hurts the most was seeing my dad freaked out after he saw me, he even collapsed that day we had to rush him to the hospital.'' 

Yukio stood there watching the two boys taking as they changed into their diving suit. She looked at addijah's body muscle from head to toe, she looked over at ellis and saw that he also has alot of muscles , she looked back over at addijah hoping to see some more but instead her eyes met with addijah's eyes who was looking at her

ADDIJAH:" is something wrong? are you feeling okay?" 

yukio:"huh? y-yes... i'm okay.'' 

Yukio quickly turned around and said to herself

YUKIO:"i hope they didn't see me looking at them. this is embarssing.'' 

ADDIJAH:" we'll be going down now so be careful. we won't take long.'' 

YUKIO:" okay! got it!'' 

Addijah and ellis both jumped into the water and make their way down, they arrived at the bottom of the ocean. They shoot a lot of big fishes, crabs, octopuss, sea snails, lobsters ect...after catching quite the amount they headed back up to the surface. yukio helped them get back on board, she looked at what they caught and said with joy

YUKIO:" wow! you guys caught a lot, even my favorite which is the crab.'' 

ADDIJAH:" i only hope this much will be able to hold us until we reach the other side, and besides...... we don't even know how far or how many days it will take for us to get there.'' 

ELLIS:" your quite skilled with the spear. i would like for you to teach me sometimes.'' 

ADDIJAH:"sure! whenever your ready. all right then, we've secured the food now it's time for us to head out.'' 

They set sail out into the ocean to begin their journey. yukio and ellis eventually fell asleep while addijah sit at the quarter deck to keep watch. Time passed and ellis and yukio was wide awake.

ELLIS:" you didn't get any sleep?" 

ADDIJAH:" nah! i didn't feel sleepy at all.'' 

As they stood there looking they came across a ship which was docked a couple meters away from them.

ELLIS:"those guys must be fishing or something.'' 

Suddenly yukio walked up to them yawning as she said

YUKIO:"hey guys what are you looking at-... oh! it seems like those guys are fishing.'' 

ADDIJAH:"let's just quickly pass them. we don't want to cause too much attention. who know's if they're waiting to ambush a ship that's passing by and decided to stop.'' 

ELLIS:"yeah good point.'' 

YUKIO:" isn't it kinda strange?" 

ELLIS:"huh? what do you mean?" 

YUKIO:"for some strange reason something feels off. The winds are blowing heavily yet the ship is sailing smoothly. i've always seen these in movies where the wind is strong and the sea is rough that the persons on board are trying very hard to keep the ship in balance. so what i'm saying is aren't we suppose to be in the same situation as those guys in the movies? or.... maybe it's not like that!'' 

ADDIJAH:" now that i look at it....... something's definitely not right!" 

Addijah quickly looked over board and saw that the water was very still. suddenly he saw small waves, he quickly turned around and shout

ADDIJAH:" everyone  grab onto something quick!'' 

They quicky grabbed onto something, on the spur of the moment a gigantic whale emerge from beneath the water and swallowed half of the ship that was docked, the after effects causes enormus waves, it rocked addijah's ship back and forth, the wind started to blow even harder, addijah quickly raised the sails even higher, with this the ship began to sail faster. luckily,  they escaped in time before they were attacked by the whale, yukio fell unto the ground shaking

YUKIO:"w-what the hell....... was that just now. are whales suppose to be that biig! why did i think that this was going to be smooth sailing. shit! i can't  take this anymore...... i wanna go home.''

Yukio sat there crying as she panic

ELLIS:" hey! calm down! your not the only one who feels like crying right now. besides.... you already know what'll happen if you wish to leave.'

ADDIJAH:" the best thing we can do right now is to comfort her. let's  give her time to calm herself down.''

They sat quietly for the rest of the evening until the all fell asleep. by the time they woke up it was already dark

ADDIJAH:" huh? looks like my eyes are playing tricks on me, i can't see anything.'' 

YUKIO:"guys! which one of you is touching me around my waist. stop that! it's creepy.'' 

ADDIJAH & ELLIS:" huh!'' 

ELLIS:" i'm not that type of person!''

ADDIJAH:" me niether... besides... i'm not even close to where you are right now.'' 

YUKIO:"what the hell! now i feel hands under my shirt. seriously guys cut it out.'' 

ADDIJAH:"i already told you it's not me.'' 

ELLIS:"it's not me either.''

YUKIO:" there's only three of us on this ship and if it's niether of you then....who's touching me?" 

The waters suddenly starts to lit up with the help of moon jellyfish's everyone was finially able to see. Addijah looked over at yukio and said

ADDIJAH:" see! i told you... we're not the one's touching you.''

YUKIO:" if you guys are all the way over there then-''

Yukio slowly turns around, what she saw was a creature that looks like a seahorse with human hands and feet, yukio screamed as the kicked the creature away, she ran over towards addijah and ellis and hid behind them. 

YUKIO:" what the hell is that!" 

Ellis and addijah stood there looking at the creature before them

ELLIS:"a seahorse human maybe!" 

ADDIJAH:"a what now?'' 

ELLIS:"look at it! it has features that resembles a seahorse and it has hands and legs like any human." 

ADDIJAH:"do creatures like this exist in the real world as well? it's unlike anything iv'e ever seen before.''

ELLIS:"this looks like the work of scientists. they're always cooped up in their labs creating new experiments so it's not possible if this thing is one of their projects.'' 

The creatured walked up to them, ellis quickly hid behind addijah

ADDIJAH:"why are all of you hiding behind me?" 

YUKIO:"you said the sea is one of your strongholds so... go on.. do something.'' 

ELLIS:" yukio's right! sorry buddy.. but we leave this task  to you'' 

ADDIJAH:" what! i may be an expert when it has to do something with the water, but i didn't say i was good when it comes to dealing with animals.'' 

Addijah and the creature looked at each other, the look in the creatures eyes helped addijah to realized something. He walked up to the creature and slowly reaches out his hands. The creature looked at addijah's hand then it slowly made it's way into his hands, it began to wrapped itself around addijah's body

ELLIS:"addijah!" 

YUKIO:"get away from it quickly. what if it eats you.''

ADDIJAH:" i'm fine! it's not going to hurt me, if it was going to eat someone you'd be the first yukio. seeing that it didn't eat anyone maybe it's not a carnivore. and besides.....this thing, it looks like it's just a baby.''

ELLIS:"how can you tell?" 

ADDIJAH:"the way it wrapped itself around me. it could be that he got seperated from it's mother and maybe that's how he got onto our ship.'' 

Yukio and ellis stood there watching as the creature wrapped and cuddled itself around addijah's body. They felt a little relieved then they walked over to where addijah was. They stood there looking at the creature, suddenly the creatured jumped into yukio's chest, she stumbled and fell onto the ground.

ADDIJAH:"are you okay yukio?"

YUKIO:"yes i'm fine. i was just startled.'''

ELLIS:"it looks like it's taken quite a liking to you yukio.''

ADDIJAH:"the good this is that it's harmless so we'll just have to wait and see how long it's going to stick around for. anyways... i'm hungry, i'm going to make us something to eat.'' 

Ellis and addijah walked off leaving yukio behind

YUKIO:"wait! am i supposed to babysit this thing?"

ELLIS:"looks like it.''

Addijah stopped and looked over into the water as it glows brightly

ELLIS:"beautifil isn't it?"

ADDIJAH:"huh? oh! yea it is..it's my first time seeing something like this. it's amazingly beautiful.''

ELLIS:"oh really? this is my second time seeing it, the first time was when i was smaller and i went on a cruise vacation with my family.''

ADDIJAH:"do you travel a lot?"

ELLIS:i used to! my family loves to travel, but as i grew older i stopped traveling with them.''

ADDIJAH:"why?

ELLIS:''i would always get yelled at. i remember when we went to a shopping mall in dubai and i suddenly got lost. i was only 8 at the time, i spent the whole day searching for them, i thought they abandoned me so i just stood there crying. it was then a security guard saw me and helped me, he announced my father's name on the speakers throughout the mall and that's how i was able to reunite with them. but when they arrived they just assumed that i ran off to look at the toys in a toy store and yelled at me, when in truth i got seperated from them due to the large crowd.''

ADDIJAH:"why would they treat you that way tho? aren't you supposed to be their child?" 

ELLIS:"my siblings and i don't share the same parents. my father was currently married to the woman he'd been with since high school, and my mother was his mistress. after i was born my mother didn't want anything to do with me so she left me at the doorstep at my father's house, that's when his wife found out that he had another child outside of their marriage. she would always blamed me for everything that happened so she treated me differently from my other siblings, my father didn't really care and because of that i grew myself distant from them,  i requested for them to send me to a private boarding school, that way i wouldn't be in their way.'' 

ADDIJAH:"that's pretty bad..... i don't know my real mother, she also left me at my father's doorstep when i was just a baby and left. my father struggled to raised me while doing his job as a fisherman, he would often let my grandmother or cousin watch over me until he got off from work, he would often get sick due to stress and the lack of food. he finally started dating again when i was around the age of 12 and my stepmother's a very nice person she treated me like her own child, ever since she arrived my father's health has been good and i'm greatful to her for that.''

ELLIS:"must be nice to experience motherly love... if you ever get the chance to see your real mother again what would you say to her?"

ADDIJAH:"to be honest... i don't know.i've already accepted my stepmother as my real mother, so if i ever get the chance to see my real mother i wouldn't want anything to do with her.'' 

Ellis smiled and said

ELLIS:"i envy you! not in a bad way tho. even tho you don't come from a rich and noble family you know what it's like to feel loved, i on the other hand never got to experience any of that.'' 

ADDIJAH:"i'm sure you'll one day find someone who'll give you all the love you need.'' 

Ellis smiled as he tapped addijah on the shoulder and said

ELLIS:" i hope so too"
