I wasn't sure what to do or what to say. Her mind was empty and still in shock. Her eyes stared at me as if I were some type of fictional character that has popped out of a tale, but I know that I am. I just haven't popped out of a book or anything of a such. Her lips were a gap, hands were stiff next to her body. There was no movement only the pumping of air that caused her chest to rise and drop.
Quickly I came up with an idea. I splashed into the water and swam a little closer to her and flopped my tale a bit to get near. Soon afterwards I stopped a few feet away and I was able to push the book to her. I pulled my arms towards me and went back into the water. Her eyes looked at the book and then at me,"I'm Kurage, I ummm, I like the story." Not knowing what was coming next I prepped myself for a speed getaway incase all goes wrong. But to my surprise she just smiled. "I know who you are," she said as she bent to her feet to retrieve the book. She wiped the droplets of salt water and the grains of sand then looked at me as she made her way to a rock and sat on it. I was left speechless, she knew about me, she knew who I was! "And I also know what you're thinking," Shock clearly written all over my face as I look at her,"I---I didn't know," my nervousness toke the best of me and controlled my speech. I dived into the water and swam deep deep into the ocean as her thought echoed in my mind,"I'm sorry if I scared you. Please come back." There was a tug in my heart as the last words made its way to my entire mind. I swam back to her not thinking of the consequences this could bring. I made my way to a boulder closest to her and sat across each other. " I'm Isabel by the way, I'm sorry I scared you I just was in clear utter shock. I honestly thought you were my imagination. But you felt and sounded way too real so I knew that you we......" before she could finish I began laughing, my laughter echoing in my vocal chords as if I had a cave of my own in my body," what's so funny?" She said as she squinted her eyes trying to make my lips spit the truth out but I know that it doesn't work that way so I spoke giving mercy to her poor cute eyes," You're so cute when you ramble, I didn't know you were the nervous type."
