Attacked by a shark

Chapter 2

We spent the next four days surfing in the ocean and watching little kids try to surf. It was really fun and not only the surfing was fantastic, the food was absolutely delicious! Clothes were cheap and the service was good, if i could, i'll beg my parents to come here again next time.

We spent most evening's at Jacob's house and got close to him and his dad. We even could call his dad Papa Rock. We call him that because he was big and strong, one punch in a metal bowl and there was a dent on it. I realised how nice Papa Rock was and he even took us fishing once. His laughter was loud and filled with warmth.

Jacob taught us a few surfing tricks and our surfing skills increased so much! On off days when he didnt have to work or help out anywhere, Jacob spent all his time surfing and diving. A life my brother would die for.

One evening i was sitting at the swing in my bedroom, staring out into sea taking a break from reading my book. As there were nobody out in the sea that day, it was quiet and the sound of sea waves was comforting, the wind was strong and the sea gulls that flew by was making awful sounds of nature.

Looking further off the sea banks, i notice something moving. I instantly sat  up thinking maybe it was Jacob diving in the ocean, but the longer i stared, the clearer the moving object seemed to me. It was huge and casting shadows and making sharp turns everywhere it swam.

'Its a shark' I thought to myself, but it couldnt be. 'There isnt any sharks in this island, just like Jacob told me.' I sat there weary of what to do and continued reading my book, shaking the bad thought off my head.

There was six more days of holiday in Pawloon island, i was dreading that day as i was having so much fun. Dameon and i decided to go swimming in the sea when i realised what i saw that day, "Come on, Danielle! The water is really refreshing" Dameon urged me to go into the water.

I shook the thought off my head and dived in with him, we played for a long time and after a while, i started to feel uneasy in the water. "Let's go Dameon, we're soaked in here for quite a long time." Dameon protested but followed me back to our house.

After i showered, i went to my balcony and saw those moving objects again. I felt terrified but i thought maybe they were harmless dolphin's. I went downstairs to my parents bedroom and walked outside for a while, unsure if i should tell my parents or not.

"Whats wrong honey? You have something to say?" Dad appeared at the door way and i shrugged and gave him a hug "Nahh, nothing."

I walked away and out of the house towards Jacobs house, i knocked on the door and he answered straight away "Hey Danielle" He smiled. I had a frown plastered to my face as i walked in and settled down. "Are you very sure there are no sharks here?" I asked and he replied "Of course not, i've been living here for the pass 16 years and no one was ever attacked." He looked at me and asked "You saw something in the sea?"

I looked up at him and denied, "Nahhh, i just wanted to confirm and be sure. Are you free tomorrow? Can you bring Dameon and i diving?" He thought about it for a while and said "Sure! Meet me here tomorrow at 10am"

I gave him a hug and left his house, happy and at ease. 'Maybe i really saw dolphin's, stop scaring yourself Danielle.' I thought.
