Chapter 12: The Last Light

Chapter 12: The Last Light

She looked up at him, tears starting to form up in her eyes. Zoe looked own, very upset.

"L-Levi... Remember? It's me! Zoe... " She said, almost yelling.

"I'm sorry... I don't think I know you..." He mumbled. "Again I'm sorry ma'am."

The back door flew open. Isabel came out, holding a notebook. "Hey Levi! I got dinner started! Geez you really need to find a wife!" She mocked laughing, until her eyes nearly popped out of her head.

"Thanks Isabel... What would I do about you?" He said blankly, walking to the kitchen.

"Isabel!" Zoe said happily. "Do you remember me?!"

"Oh my god you're ba-" She was stopped when Levi grabbed her arm to pull her into the kitchen. She looked up at him, tilting her head.

"Isabel..." He whispered. "Don't talk to her..."

"What is wrong with you!? She is literally the love of your life!!! I don't know what has gotten into you, but you need to snap out of it!" She yelled. "Why can't you love her?! You literally have two tattoos of her!"

"Ok listen... I'm scared, & kinda nervous. I don't even see her as a real person." He confessed.

"But why!? She yelled at him, tears forming in her yes. "Y-You said that you love her!! What happened!?"

"I don't know... I'm lost in this world now. She left me Isabel. For two fucking years!" Levi said crossing his arms.

Her face was turning red. "She needed to protect herself! From the human world!"

"Because she isn't human! I can't marry a fish!" He explained.

"That's all she is to you? Just a fish?!" Isabel said angrily. "So I'm just a Homo sapien to you?"

"No you're my sister!" He yelled back. "I'm a human, she isn't!"

"But... You loved her... Didn't you?" She asked shaky. It bothered her that the happiest he had ever been seemed just like a lie.

"Well of course I did, but... Things change don't they?" Levi said in a sigh. "I have to face reality, after all."

She looked angered & flustered. Isabel's face turned red at the comments he was making about reality. She knew that Zoe was real, she had to be! Or else her life would've been a complete lie. She sighed & sat on the flannel couch, crossing her legs tightly.

"You're really stupid Levi." Isabel commented, pinching her lips together.

"I am not stupid, but my choices to fall for a fish were... There's no denying." He said crossing his arms. She looked red faced & got up quickly to smack him right across the face. She was glaring so hard it seemed his eyes were about to pop out her her skull. Levi looked at her shocked & slightly embarrassed at the fact that his little sister, who wouldn't even hurt a fly, just slapped him. Levi started to look pissed & he held her fist that was getting ready to punch him.

"I just want to live my life! Alone!" He yelled at her.

He turned his head when the door creaked open. A pair of shy eyes looked back at him. Those same amber brown big eyes, that were framed by dominant lashes. Her hair was covering half of her pale face when she moved her head to the side a bit. Levi started to get that same feeling in his gut when he had first saw her on the beach three summers ago. Besides the shock he received from seeing a strange teenage girl completely naked. Blood started rushing to his cheeks when he met her innocent stare once more. Those butterflies managed to fly in his system to trigger the feeling of love, & beauty.

He had missed her so much, & denying that she even walked the earth wasn't helping.

But this might!

He walked over to her, wearing his same scrowl. Levi felt a cold sweat go down his back. He shook it off to look at her more closely. The first thing he noticed was that she had grown, about 4 or 5 inches taller. He sighed & pulled her close in a tight hug, grabbing the back of her long brown hair. She looked down at him blushing a bit. Zoe smiled & closed her eyes, taken in his scent. He smelled like when he first met him, clean.

Levi looked up & took in the smell of pure salt water. It felt familiar, like the calming waves of Beach Sina. He sighed & held her closer.

Then he started to cry softly.

Zoe looked down shocked & speechless, but she smiled brightly & bent her knees a little & he kissed her on the lips.

He held her head from the back & brought her closer, this was it. This what he had been looking for, the taste of her lips. After awhile he pulled back.

"Zoe?"

"Yes shorty?"

"Tch. Don't call me that."

"Haha, sorry..."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure!"

"Will you stay here? With me?"

"Yes!"

& that was the answer he got when he asked for her fin in marriage.
