Twisted Fairytale

Growing closer

Animila's Pov

I am actually getting used to having a family again. A weird one, but a family.

Blaze and I really act like siblings. He's very protective though. But he can be immature at times which is really funny since he's the oldest out of all of us.

Aqua and I are close. Though we have different likes we get along really well. I trust her the most out of everyone mainly because she's so mature for her age. She knows when it's time to be serious. But she does know how to have fun. She's a major girly girl.

The twins are awesome when it comes to doing something reckless. One time we threw water on Blaze, which is a death wish for us, and we ran so fast. We climbed trees, we threw things in his way. It was so fun. But he caught us. We were about to get it but Alric saved us.

Alric.

I like Alric.

I-I mean I like him like a friend. Not anything more. Why would you think that. He's just a friend.

Anyway Alric always has my back. And he's always make me laugh. And he's smart and charming and cute...

Uhh forget I said that. Besides Alric still likes Aqua. Though she doesn't return the feelings. But we are good friends.

"Hey Animila."

I look to see Blaze calling me.

"Yes Blaze." I answer.

"You wanna come with us. We are going to the lake. Aqua insisted on going." Blaze says.

"Uhh sure." I say.

A lake has water and I hate water.

I get up from my spot and walk out with him. I see the others already ready. We head towards the lake.

"Yay we are going to the lake. I haven't been swimming in such a long time." Aqua says excitedly.

"How do you hold your breath for so long?" Fauna asks.

"She doesn't hold her breath she can breathe underwater." I answer.

"So she has gills?" Flora asks.

"Well most people who live underwater do but I don't think she does since she can breathe air just fine." I say.

"She's right. I can breathe perfectly find underwater without gills." Aqua says.

We get to the lake and Aqua jumps up and down. She runs in to the water.

"Isn't her clothes going to get wet?" Blaze asks.

"They'll dry." I say.

The twins climb a tree a dive in. Blaze, Alric, and I sit on the side.

"So Alric why aren't you going in?" I ask.

"I don't know. I just don't feel like swimming." Alric says.

I nod my head. It's ok if he doesn't want to swim. I can't judge him.

Everything is fine. The twins and Aqua are having a blast in the water. Blaze looks a little bit cautious but I don't blame him. Water can make him weaker. It's like putting out a flame. Hence why he only goes close to or in water when there is no danger. Like taking a shower.

Suddenly I get a strange feeling. Next thing I know a wild vine from the lake drags me in. I try to scream but I don't want water in my lungs.

I get pulled down deep. I try to hold my breath but I'm panicking too much. I feel my glamour slip in my panic. I see my tail and claws appear. I quickly cut the vine with my claws.
