Chapter seven

Where am I? Where is everyone? Why can’t I move my tail?!  Coral sits up quickly, gasping for air. She looks around the deserted lava beach, nothing but black rock for miles on each side of her. I must have landed harder than I thought..  She looks at her legs and frowns, she is wearing jean shorts and some sort of flowy type shirt, her legs and torso are scrapped and torn. From sliding on the rocks. She thinks to herself.  She looks around before starting to walk down the rocky beach. Her hair flows in the wind as she walks, then a deep-smooth voice stops her. The last time Coral heard this voice was the last time she had seen her real mother and father. “Damien.. What do you want?” she calls out, a dark figure emerging from the ocean wearing a fitted suit in colors of turquoise and back. , Damien was a human? “I want an alliance.” he smirks, his dark hair swaying in the soft breeze. “And why would I do that?” Coral defends, “because. You crave the power, the darkness, the fear.” he says, walking closer to her. “N-no! I’m not like that!” the girl yells at him, bowing her head slightly.  “Are you scared?” he whispers, using a cold hand to push her long hair behind her ear. “Yes.” she whispers back softly.
