A WHALES P. O.V

THE BELIEVE SHOW

The next morning, I swam outside the module with new scars on my eye patch. Last night I managed to bite into Luna's side. I couldn't take if anymore. "Splash!" Shouted Dawn. The rest of the aliens paired up with different orcas. I was disappointed in Dawn. I felt like she hated me at this point. The same lady from yesterday tended me. "Tamarie do you mind makin Tilly his energy shake?" Asked Dawn. Tamarie sounded like a familiar name to me. Tam nodded. Before she could come back with the shake I hid myself at the bottom of the pool. No food would bribe me into the module tonight. Instead, I ate away the side of the tank in a desperate way. I felt soar-after all I have been attacked more than ever. I circled around the pool endlessly and unnaturally. For an hour I circled around until there was a slap in the water. I swam nervously to the alien but felt better when I realized it was Dawn. She commanded me to go dive. I did as she asked with a cramping stomach from starvation. She rewarded me with a few large fish. Then, she told me to do other tricks such as bow and shake and wave. I didn't take as much role as the other orcas which was fair based off of the fact that I was only a year old. When we weren't training we would be distracted with the noise coming from the viewing glass. All of a sudden their was a big blasting noise that made me feel severely sick and sensitive. I rushed around crazily with fright. I screeched and dived in an out of the water all around the perimeter if the pool. 🎤🎶🎶🎶I rushed to the end of the pool and back at a fast pace. I moaned as I noticed people taking their seats at benches. I was confused. What was going on? Then an blaring alien voice spoke. "Welcome to our believe show! As most of you may know-we have a newcomer! Let's put our hands together for Tilikum!" Sounded the booming voice. I jumped out of the water-arching my back at the sound of my name in surprise. The roaring crowd clapped excitedly but I hid in the depth of the pool. "Now Katsatka-also known as the mother of many!" The alien continued. Katsatka wearily spy hopped out if the water and twirled around. "Let's not forget about Luna-our younger female here at Samu stadium!" She said louder this time. Luna glided across the pool her tail moving up and down making splashes. What was going on? "Now for out final performer-Splash!" She said in introduction. Splash leaped in the air showing the white of his belly. Everybody clapped. I tried to find somewhere to hide but there was nowhere. I heard the slap in the water and went to the docks where I noticed it was Dawn. "Tilikum has been here for only a week and is doing amazingly so far!" She sounded. I hid underwater and thought about that lie where the microphones wouldn't mess with my senses. I screamed and refused to perform. I heard the aliens trying to make a joke of it but it didn't work. I swam away from any slaps in the water. I dived in and out of the water in a heartbeat. Splash and Katsatka did their commands and I watched as they got fed fresh fish which made my mouth water. I swam above the surface slapping my tail against the water in anger. I made long vocals to the others in my group. They ignored me and bit me once or twice on my pectoral flippers. I saw Katsatka lunge and me and I leaped to the side making situations worse. She bit hard into the side of my skin and I sank to the bottom in agony and pain. Splash and Luna took over the show in sadness. They cried for food and eventually the rest of the show got cancelled. I felt pride in what I did. All the aliens were sent out of the arena by police men in uniforms. I shook in fear. I squealed very high pitched so that the aliens would notice. I swam around the pool until night time came. I hid in the darkness of the pool and refused the module. "Release the nets!" Sounded an alien. Large fishnets were sent out into the tank scaring me. I eventually went up for air and the nets were pulling me to the module. I was forced and forced and forced until finally they pushed me into the dark metal container. I screeched for help but no one came. The darkness overwhelmed me. I cried the whole night long.
