I twisted my body swiftly in the water, curving a different direction away from Mark. I started to swim blindly through the towering stalks, tearing and shoving myself past the fronds and finally, ejecting myself out of the kelp forest and bursting into large area of sand and coral. Bright moonlight filtered dimly through the water's surface and casted beautiful shimmering waves of light in the water currents and onto the aquatic vegetation. I sharply examined my surroundings with exhausted breaths, my green hair flowed limply in front of my eyes as I tried to toss it away recklessly. I don't have time for hair problems, I got Mark to catch! I quickly thought as I mentally scolded my stubborn hair.

I was suspended in the shadowed water, exactly outside the outskirts of the large labyrinth of golden crisp kelp. A massive garden of rich orange, flaming red, vibrant blue coral and jiggling anemones sprawled vastly across the sand dunes surrounding under me, moving gently along with the currents. The corals' shapes varied from branchings, fanned and feathered. Sulking rock masses lumbered cozily around the vibrant growth of coral while a large artificial rock arch loomed enticingly in the distance.

An idea without delay snapped in my thoughts; I could take a shortcut and corner him! Without thinking twice, I briskly lunged myself to the rocks and soared across the rugged rock piles and swiftly dodged the grappling coral. I elegantly dived through the tight arch and automatically, the rocky walls of the mountain arch contained me into a narrow space and brushed my shoulders sparsely as I swam speedily through. As I wiggled my body past, the dark mottled brown sidings of the secluded cavern reminded quickly of the beautiful eyes Mark was graciously gifted with. Instantly, his cheerful face flashed into my mind and caused a light smile to perk onto my face while an amused chuckle rose into my throat. But these rocky walls have nothing to top his swirling rich deep mahogany depth gorgeous eyes, so full of luscious emotion and beauty.

I suddenly saw glowing light from the moon coming from the end of the arched tunnel more and more vividly as I swam further through until I streamed out of the rocky hill. Right when I exited, my eyes soared across the landscape and within a few anxious seconds, they snapped distinctively towards a grouping of multiple rocks. My tail began to thrash violently and propel me forward, I curved sharply onto a path stretching with towering pillars of algae covered rocks intertwined with stray stalks of golden and green kelp.

I dived into the sprawl and plummeted through, weaving between humongous boulders and shimmying past shoots of spiraling kelp. The adrenaline that rushed through my pulsing veins increased as I gazed down as saw my body fly past fields of stubby flourished seaweed, the green blades waved aggressively as my tail shook the water. Shining water particles swirled past me quickly as I lowered my hand into the sea grass and felt the fronds rush through my fingers briefly while I swam. A chuckle naturally broke through my rising smile as I twined my fingers playfully through the streaming seaweed and lowered my body so my stomach brushed and tickled their tips. My body shuddered in laughter as I rose back up and proceeded to soar across the fraudulent reef, I curved around a huge boulder and stopped abruptly at the other end of the kelp forest.

I gazed around the small clearing and checked over my shoulders, Mark must be still trying to swim through the thick kelp! Dumb eejit, he's gonna get himself tangled up if he's not paying close attention! I chuckled lightly to myself as I snuck behind a dwindling rock, I tucked my tail up closely to the rough outcropping and folded my arms up to my chest. I think everything is hidden... I glanced shortly over my shoulder and beyond the rock edge, Mark hasn't escaped yet! I shuffled my body deviously as a couple of bubbles blew from my mouth and nose. Oh I'm gonna give him a surprise he'll never forget!
