Hidden by Foam - Book 3 (Completed)

Chapter 15

Llyr's POV

We were enjoying the peace and tranquility along with the beautiful view. I haven't felt relaxed like this in a long time. The silence was ended when Elaina asked a strange question out of the blue.

"Do you want to build a sandcastle?" She asked as she gave me a cute grin. Who could say no to that face. The only problem was that I was unsure what it was.

"I would love to, but I'm unsure of what it is," I said.

"Oh, well it's just a small castle or palace like the ocean palace that you build out of sand," she said as she started to gather sand. I could see how much energy it took from her so I started to use my tail to drag the wet sand closer.

"Well that works to," she said with a giggle when she saw my innovated plan.

I knew I had to tell her that this would be the last month that I would be able to visit her, but when I saw the excited look on her face; I didn't want to ruin the mood.

We spent the whole day building sandcastles and laughing at our failed attempts.

"I haven't had this much fun since-" I said but I quickly stopped myself.

"Since when?" She asked.

"Since my mother was still alive," I said.

"I'm sorry," she said as she placed her hand over mine that sent my heart racing. I didn't know what this girl was doing to me.

"How did she die?" She asked. I took a few minutes before answering and Elaina must have mistaken my silence as a sign that I didn't want to talk about it.

"I'm sorry, it's so rude of me to ask," she quickly apologizes.

"No, I want to tell you," I said as I gave her a small smile.

She returned my smile and I started to tell her.

"My mother was killed by a human fishing tool, she was in the shell field busy picking up shells for my birthday and that's when it happened. She was hit by that thing and by the time we got there it was too late. She was gone," he said.

"That's awful! I can't imagine what you must have felt like," she said.

"My father hated human since, he instated the two laws," I said.

"What two laws?" I asked.

"Never to kill or save a human," I said. As I realised that I didn't only break the law once but multiple times since I've met Elaina.

"And what does it say about spending time with a human?" She asked as she teasingly nudged me with her shoulder.

"Mmm, I think it's illegal to," I said and we burst out in laughter. How could this little lady make me feel so much better.

"Well then, you are an outlaw by now with the amount of rules you've broken," she said as she stuck her tongue out at me.

"Is that so?" I asked.

"Yes," she said and I started to tickle her. She sqeauled before she started to laugh and beg me to stop.

"Not until you apologize," I teased.

"For...what...? She asked between laughs.

"For calling my an outlaw," I said.

"But...it's...the...truth..." She said and I could see she was getting tired. Oh no, I forgot about her problem.  I immediately stopped and she was breathing heavily. The thrashing around she did tired her muscles very quickly.
