I love you (A Scomiche fanfiction) *COMPLETED*

~Three~

As they walked, they came across a part of the sea that looked darker than the rest.

"What's that?" Scott asked.

"The locals say the lair of a sea monster lies in that ravine," Mitch said. Just as he finished talking, a roar pierced the air. "Watch out!"

The turquoise waves swelled and surged, and Mitch ran up the sea shore with Scott's hand in his. From the frothing light-colored foam emerged the head of a killer whale, which let out a screech that rent the sky. It bared its glinting sharp canines at them.

"Do you think it wants to... eat... us?" Scott whispered.

"It's not going to eat us!" Mitch said firmly. Ever prepared, he whipped out his weapon. "Go! I'll protect you. I'll make sure of it!"

"Wait! Mitch! I... I want to help!" Scott, too, was prepared.

"Scott..." Mitch started to say, but there was no time to argue -- the whale lunged for him, and he jumped away, the whale's teeth burying itself in the sand. Then they launched a counter-strike: Mitch struck a blow first, along the beast's back, and then Scott second, along the whale's exposed underside. The monster roared in outrage before slipping back into the sea.

Panting for breath, Mitch asked, "Are you hurt?"

Scott shook his head. "I'm fine."

"That was more trouble than I bargained for." Mitch offered Scott Mitch's hand. "Stick tight. You never know what else might spring out of the sea."

Scott clung his hand as the radiant sunset sunset began to fill the sky.
