Tobias finally got his balance back, and he stood up steadily. "I… I think I'm alright now…"
Megan smiled, peeling her gloves off and putting her coat on the rack. "I'm glad, but for now, we have to get to the ocean."
Tobias glanced at them. "…Ocean??? How come? Is something wrong??"
Skye took that as a signal to warp them home, Ending up back in Megan's living room, Skye went straight to Rio's side, Noting the fever, and the swelling purple tinge in his arm. "Yeah the sooner we get to the beach or something the better" said Skye with concern…
Megan and Tobias followed him to Rio. "Do you think we should go now?"
Tobias gasped. "What on earth happened to Rio!?" His eyes flicked around. "And where's Firiko!?" What is going on!?!? What happened!?
"Yes the sooner the better" said Skye to megan. "Tobias panicking isnt gonna help anyone. What happened is after you got knocked out yesterday the creep who brought us here tried to recapture us last night. I managed to get him away from the house and firiko and Rio went to deal with him but firiko got captured and Rio got hurt. Rio will be fine but only if we can get the cure in time. And doing that means we have to get to the ocean, fast." He explained calmly "and dont worry about firiko. He has survived worse.."
Tobias nodded. "Alright…. To the ocean it is then…"
Megan nodded too. "We have no time to loose…."
(Ok I have seen this several times today,
loose = the bolt is loose = the bolt could fall out
lose [which is the word people want…] = I'm gonna lose my mind because of all the stress of exams = something could be lost….
I'm sorry if it's a little vague but those are the definitions of the word and it has been bugging me a lot…)
"Do you have a faster way to get there?" asked Skye with concern, "I mean we can't just walk down the street with him…"
(Ugh… I have a huge problem with that.)
"It's not like I can't drive a car," Megan rolled her eyes a little, beckoning them to follow her. "This will get us there pretty quickly. Quicker than walking."
She grabbed her keys from the hook on the wall and headed out the door and into the garage. "I hope you're alright riding in these things…."
Skye carefully picked up Rio and motioned for Kyara to follow as he headed out to the garage. "We should be ok…" he said carefully, giving Kyara a sharp look before she could say anything.
(what's the issue?)
(The whole loose lose thing. I remember we were talking earlier in the comment thing and Nutella totally dissed me for it. And also for not being as salty as her [apparently].)
Megan got into the driver seat and the others piled in, with Rio in the back with Skye and Tobias in the front seat. "I assume the girl is staying home…?"
"Nope" said Skye as she slid in, "We can't risk leaving her alone for that creep to find, after all as powerful as she is she's still a kid…"
"Well then… One of us will have to get in the third row, or you'll all have to squeeze in." Megan turned the car on, the engine purring nicely. "Because I can't leave Tobias home by himself, and everyone else needs to come."
Kyara climbed into the third row, leaving Skye and Rio in the second, Skye felt Rio's pulse and felt a wave of concern wash over him, "We should get going if that's alright with you," he said carefully.
Megan made sure everyone was buckled in before she pulled out of the driveway and went down the street.
It was a little bit later when she stopped at a traffic light.
It was after ten minutes that she got concerned. Why is this doing this….?
Skye kept checking on Rio, "Are we supposed to be stopped?" he asked worry in his voice..
"Yes… But not for this long…." Megan tapped her fingers impatiently on the steering wheel.
When the light finally turned green, she skirted across the intersection and on towards the pier. That took way too long…. She pulled into the parking lot that overlooked the ocean. "Here we are!– everyone out!"
"Skye was glad there was no one around when they got there, Noticing a small thicket down the beach he scooped up his friend Rio, Ignoring the small moan of pain he walked quickly to the small cove, glad that it was hidden from sight he stopped for a moment, "Please do me a favour and don't freak out ok?" he said, "Rio's true form happens to be a little more alarming than my wolf form…" he said before wading out into the sea and placing Rio in it, letting Rio sink to the bottom he backed away as a blue glow enveloped his friend.
Tobias and Megan watched as Rio was submerged.
"I've already seen enough crazy things…." She shook her head. "I'm more intrigued at this point…"
He approached Skye. "…Will he be alright?"
"If I can find the cure yes," Said Skye, And avoid drowning in the process… he watched as the glow faded to reveal Rio's long, sleek, blue scaled tail. Rio was still submerged but he wasn't drowning. Skye Had shouldered Rio's bag before submerging him and he took it out and opened it now, rifling through it, "Ok, Rio.." he muttered to himself, "Please tell me you still have some- AHA!" he pulled out a blue stone embedded in a silver chain, the stone glowed slightly, giving off a blue aura, "Drat it's not charged…" said Skye to himself, as he pulled off his shirt,
Megan just waited patiently, suddenly getting the thought from when Tobias and Rio came back from the grocery store. Ridiculous…. She thought, closing her eyes and shaking her head. Just ridiculous….
"If I'm not back in an hour or so you may as well leave without us!" said Skye slipping the blue gem around his neck next to his amulet and wading out to where Rio was.
"If you say so…" Megan said, resting her hands in her pockets. "Just do what you need to do."
Tobias sighed. "Wasn't I supposed to be at school today…?"
"Yeah, but that shock put you out for a really long time….. It wasn't worth the time."
Skye grabbed the collar of Rio's vest and kept wading out until he found the drop off. Then taking a longer strip of leather out off his pocket, he tied Rio's collar to his belt and dived down into the ocean. He held his breath for a long while, diving as far as he could, swimming down deep into the ocean. When he finally took a breath his breathing was heavy, but he soon began holding it again. Gotta make it last…. he thought, touching the Aquana gem around his neck, (Aquana gems act as a way to let normal people breathe underwater, but they have to be charged by a water elemental like a battery. If their power runs out while the user is under water…. well.. that's obvious..)
Skye kept going like that for a good 45 minutes. He'd gotten pretty deep, and was now using his aura to light his way. The Aquana gem around his neck barely had any glow left, he took another breath searching for the plant he needed. There! he saw it below him, excitement and relief washing over him. Skye quickly began to dive even deeper, tiring as he felt the pressure get to him. When he paused for a moment to get another breath he sucked in a mouthful of water, and it was all he could do to keep from choking as he felt a wave of panick wash over him. Gotta hurry! he swam a little farther, his lungs burning as he finally grabbed the plant.
Pulling apart the leaves he found a violet sap-like substance between them. He fumbled a little as he quickly forced Rio's mouth open, his own vision getting blurry. He shoved the plant in Rio's mouth and began rubbing it on the inside of Rio's cheek.
Fumbling with the task and trying not to black out from lack of air he was suddenly knocked head over heels by a powerful whoosh of water. Looking over his shoulder he began to panic, the plant had been washed away him, and circling above him was a huge shark. Skye tried to think of something he could do, summon an aura, shield, warp them to shore, anything! But he couldn't, and knowing he was done for, he didn't see the flash of blue, or feel the strong arm grabbing his wrist as he blacked out.
(…..wot.)
(…..wot.)
(Sorry for the wait I know my last post is a bit long but I had to show how Skye helped Rio without leaving you floundering with Megan and Tobias during the not-so-realistic-wait that is required to help Rio…)
(BUMP!)
(……..where did my fwend Ness go……
(Naarrrpppp….. I just had to breathe… I feel like everyone vents their stress stuff and I somehow catch it…)
(But I’m saying as in wot is Skye doing? Is he dead just floating in there or like what the hecc he doing?)
(He's in the process of nearly drowning after having cured Rio. Rio will be pulling him back up to the surface at the moment.)
(Okay…..)
Megan waited for a bit and saw that there was a stillness in the water after some time. As much as she wanted to go in and check on them, but remembered that Skye said not to bother after an hour or so of being submerged.
Tobias scrunched his brow. “….Do you think that we should… well…. see if they’re still down there?”
Rio kept swimming, towing Skye with him, Come on pal.. Don't drown on me! he thought as he saw the surface several yards up. A few more minutes and they broke the surface with a large splash, Rio quickly twisted so that Skye's head was above water, Skye was blue in the face and still unconscious, and worse, not breathing. Great thought Rio as he began pulling Skye to shore, where he saw Megan and Tobias waiting.
