Theo's POV
I went to lie down on my bed, my sister, Faye, was laying on the bed at the other end of mine. She was sound asleep. Gosh, she looked so peaceful. It doesn't seem to hit her how serious this is. As to why we had to run. I made a silent promise to myself that I have made a thousand times over, A promise that I would always keep her safe. With a sigh, I laid my head down and went to sleep.

There was a clashing of swords that could be heard. Yelling was sounding around us.
Weapons came too close for comfort near me and my sister.
I put my arm in front of Faye, pushing her behind me. Using myself as a shield for her.
But that didn't stop them from trying to attack us. Our only resort was to run.
"Faye! Go and swim! Go as far as you can, I'll come back to find you" I called out to my younger sister. The orca in front of me appeared as a threat. His name is Marius. A name I would learn to have a suspicion of til the end of time.
Faye tried to swim away before being stopped by the orca. Orion held a sword up to Faye's throat and without a second longer, he pushed her down against the wall. "Silly little sand shark, think you can swim away?"
"Get AWAY from my sister Marius!" I called out to him, swimming through the kelp over to the two, throwing this threat off my sister.
"And what will you do about it?" Marius then moved to point a sword at my throat.
"I will hurt you." I replied, spite and anger laced in my voice.
"Oh you will? See how can after you say goodbye~" and the sword was pushed into my neck
**
"Theo!" Faye's voice screamed
I sat up in a panic, my chest heaving. I went to grab my sword to defend myself. Faye sitting beside me with a concerned look on her face.
"Theo.. Hey it's okay.. No one is here to hurt us" She put a hand on my shoulder, her other on my hands.
I looked around our cave for a moment, taking in the surrounding. Then I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath to ground myself..
"Not yet there isn't..." I said softly, worry lacing my voice.
"Well, lets focus on the present. Come on, lets go have some fun" Faye said, trying to cheer me up.
"Alright, lets go." I said, following her.
We ended up building a farm dome for Nel. And ended up talking with Micah. And of course, I had to stop Faye from eating MORE pufferfish.
