“If we catch you before you reach the other side, Ciara,” Master Kein said. “We’ll put this into you and hold you under until you aren’t afraid anymore,” he said holding up a slimy squid like creature that writhed in his grip.
“It will breath for you, Ciara. You won’t drown and you’ll get over your fear,” Master Bane added happily.
I remembered the feeling of something slipping down my throat and into my nose. The thing Master Kein was holding had multiple slimy tendrils off its main body. I was torn now, I hated that thing and I was still terrified of the water. Master Evan stepped towardwith a wicked grin on his face and I was decided.
The water closed over my head and I had a moment of panic. Quickly righting myself I swam toward the far wall. Far behind me, I heard splashing as the men hit the water. Adrenaline kicked into high gear as I sped away from them.

“I touched the wall! I made it! You promised you wouldn’t put that inif I made it to the wall.”
“Did we promise?” Master Damien asked playfully while treading water in front of me. His brothers surrounded me.
“I’m not sure it was really a promise,” Master Bane said, “and how can we be sure it touched the wall?”
“I’LL go underwater and stay as long as I can by myself,” I pleaded.
Having made my argument I plunged beneath the surface. I had to hold onto them to stay down, but I did.
Underneath the water was peaceful as always. Just before I had to cup for air, I saw the funny yellow fish I Liked to chase. I watched them so long I had to gasp for air when I cup. Master Evan was eyeingcuriously.

“I Like to watch the little yellow fish,” I panted to him.
The men looked at one another and then Master Evan dipped under the surface. I watched him swim; it was fascinating. He didn’t kick Like I did with two feet. His body undulated and zipped through the water.
Breaking the surface he held his hands out to me. A little yellow fish was struggling vainly against his grasp.
I touched the slimy little thing and marveled at it. Once I was done, Master Evan released it and I watched it go rejoin its group a few moments later.

They laughed atand Master Kein toldall about the Little fish “We don’t mind your questions anymore, Ciara,” he told me.
Frankly, I wasn’t sure I believed that. They were always irritated with my questions. Except for Master Christof, they had never encouragedto be curious.
They seemed intent on showingthings today, though. We explored every aspect of the canal we were in, To further my exploration, Master Damien removed the rope from my neck
“We thought you had swam farther out into the ocean. That was evidently not the case. You are quite ungainly in the sea,” Master Damien toldwhile kissing my head.
I was glad to be off the leash, but a Little perturbed at the comment.
I’d never thought of myself as particularly graceful, but the way he made it sound I should be wearing water wings.
