The Prince of Ovkiano - Chap 8!!!!!

Instructions

Chapter 8 Over the next months, Crystal Violet and Turtle became closer as friends, and they did A LOT of things together. Turtle continued to have feelings for Crystal, and soon, Violet figured it out. But of course, she stayed quiet for Turtle's sake. They had decided to help the military, because that way, the soldiers could see their families again, and come home faster. So the three of them researched all the families that lived near them, and took care of them. They babysat, cooked, cleaned and even took care of an eighty year old pufferfish who had retired. After taking care of a baby goldfish one evening, the three of them were going to Violet's house to see her new pet sea snake. " It's so pretty, you'll love it! " she exclaimed. " It is a Yellow Lipped Krait! " she said excitedly , " A yellow lipped- wha?? '' Crystal asked, very confused. " oh, you'll see, " Violet said, as they reached her house. They went to her room, and there it was! It was very long, and had white and black stripes. " It is pretty " Crystal concluded. “ It’s very poisonous, but this one got all of the poison extracted from it. So it’s harmless. “ “ Did it hurt the snake? ” Turtle asked tentatively, “ When the poison got extracted? “ “ No, the scientists just extracted it from a tube. “ Violet replied. “ We made sure they didn’t hurt it. “ Just then, Violet's dad, Cobalt Ink came in. " Hello Crystal! Hi Turtle! I was just gonna ask whether you guys would like to go to the beach with me, Violet' mother, and possibly your parents too? " Cobalt said. " I'll go! What about you, Turtle? " Crystal replied, looking at him. " Sure. " he said. " Great! I'll go call your parents! " Cobalt said cheerfully and swam away. " well, I have to go home, but see you tomorrow! " Crystal said, her face full of excitement. " I can't wait! " The next day, they were all sprawled out on their beach towels, with their fins and tentacles spread apart. This beach was where a lot of fish came to. There were fish playing games, collecting shells, talking and even going to the surface. A group of kids from their school were trying to see who could swim the highest. But there was a little danger in that. Even though there was no coral there, humans still liked to fish here. " hey Turtle, " Crystal said suddenly. " I dare you to go to the top! " " But, " Turtle protested, looking at Crystal. " C'mon! Don't be a scared catfish! " she insisted. " FINE! " Turtle said. He swam up and hesitated. " C'mon!! " Crystal insisted again. He kept going, and when he got to the top, he looked back down at his friends. At first they were smiling, but then they looked horrified. Piranha looked up and saw the giant sharp hook descending from the surface, just above Turtle. " TURTLE!!!! " Crystal screamed. He looked up, and saw the hook, which was just a few inches from his body. Turtle saw his father, and then he felt a sharp pain. He saw a flash of red, and then he blacked out.
