8 Years Ago
Darwin, known then as Raglan, was weaving his way through seaweed chasing his friends around
They hid in the plants and playfully jumped out at each other.
They were having a blast when one of his friends suddenly stopped, worried.
"Hey did you just feel that? It felt like the water just shook slightly."
Darwin shrugged. "It was probably your imagination."
They continued playing for a bit until the sea shook again slightly harder.
"Okay no, there was definitely something then. I felt it." His friend replied worriedly.
"Relax, it's probably just the wind causing a few waves."
"I...I suppose so."
They continued playing again, though his friend wasn't paying attention as much, still worried.
Darwin paused hearing something and looked up.
He could see something making small impacts on the water, slowly getting faster and realized it was raining up above.
"Woah, look at that!" He pointed to it
His friends stopped and looked.
The water began to shake again more violently as the waves began to pick up.
"Woah, starting to get a little bit rough. Maybe we should start heading back..."
"Hmm, I suppose so...though...a few more minutes couldn't hurt, right?"
His friends nodded in agreement except the one who was nervous.
"Are you sure? What if it gets worse?"
"We'll head back if it does."
"I...alright..."
They continued to play, except for the nervous friend who watched anxiously when suddenly a loud boom was heard above and it started to get dark.
"Uh oh...w-what's happening?"
The waves started to get rougher, becoming slightly difficult to navigate.
"Uh oh...I think...I think it's a storm! We need to get back now!"
They began to swim back as the waves got more and more violent.
As they swam a wave dislodged some rocks, causing them to roll down the hill.
One crashed into Darwin's fin, trapping it underneath
"AGH! Guys, help, my fin!"
They swam over and try to move the rock but they weren't strong enough.
"Wait here, we'll get our parents!"
"WHAT?! You can't leave me here!"
