How is it that people fear the ocean depths? Is it the darkness that they see when they peer into the water off the side of a boat? Is it the creatures that are lurking way down below? Is it the miles and miles of vast ocean expanse that seems to never end when they look out into the horizon? A lot of people are afraid of the water. More specifically, deep water. Maybe it's because of all those reasons. I find that the ocean actually brings some sort of peace. Just the sight of the water makes me feel calm. But being underwater? That's a whole different feeling of relief. At least, it is to me.
I'm a diver. Some might say that I'm a professional, but personally I wouldn't go to that extent. I just do it because it's an escape from the rest of the world and I'm completely alone down there. People are nice and say those kinds of things because I do favors for them that they are unable to do themselves, like fetching things that you can only get at the bottom of the sea. I don't mind. In fact, finding stuff for people is a good way to pass the time. I like to be helpful sometimes. I'm earning their respect and doing the thing that I love the most. Or maybe they're taking advantage of me. Yeah, maybe that's it...
Diving isn't the only thing I'm good at. Tinkering with gadgets is what I do when I'm not in the water. Take Pers, for example. He was my first creation, and by far my greatest success. That little mechanical penguin is like family to me. Please don't judge... I get attached to things very easily. Almost every day I would try and make it possible for him to fly. Just think; he could fly around next to me so that I wouldn't have to carry him around all the time. Not that I don't like carrying him, of course. I think that Pers would like to fly. Don't tell him though. It's a secret. He doesn't know that one day he'll be able to be in the sky like all the other birds. I just hope that he won't leave me for them.
The waves rolling smoothly onto the sandy beach is music to my ears. Being able to drown everything out and listen to the water's gentle sounds as it crawls up onto the land is one of the best things about being at the beach. I felt bad for the people who were too far away from any bodies of water to experience a day by the shore. Being at the beach was single-handedly in my top five list of places to be.
"Freminet? You down here?"
My eyes widened and my heart started beating faster. It was the recognizable voice of Lyney, my adoptive brother. Without a doubt my sister would be with him as well. I didn't want to go back. I started hyperventilating. Not good. Why do I suddenly feel anxious? It's not as if I don't like my brother and sister, so why am I feeling this way? I'm probably overthinking it. I just want to be left alone right now. Yeah, that's it. I ran for the wooden dock not far from where I was standing. My heavier boots made loud noises at every step I took. At the snap of my fingers, they disappeared, along with my coat. My diving helmet was now fitted on my head and I was in my diving outfit, ready to go into the water at any time. Pers was tied safely on my back and squeaked by my swift and sudden switch of attire. Before reaching the end of the dock, I slowed my pace and looked back to where the voice came from. Surely enough, Lyney and Lynette were standing at the beach, watching me. Turning back to the water, I fixed my helmet, making sure it was snug.
Three... two... one...
Dive.
