Comforting arms held Luke tightly and all he could see was a blue blur. "Shh." A voice hushed him and covered his face with cloth and darkness shield his eyes. Other voices muffled and sounded angry. "Stay away!" A voice cried. Then Luke could see light. The figure uncovered his face and sunshine blinded him. "You brought him." A sweet voice cheered but sounded in pain. "Clara, they are after me. Run. Run away and take Luke with you." The voice said panicking. The voice who was named Clara, cringed. "Darien, I won't go far...they..they poisoned me." She cried. The voices were silent for a second and then a loud yell came from the other voice and he screamed and the figure Clara, took Luke from the other and ran. "We'll get you! Land Creature!" An angry voice yelled and then everything went black....

Luke woke up to sudden shock and was sweating. He wiped his forehead and took a deep breaths. 'What was that?' He thought and rolled out of bed and glanced at the clock. 4:00. Since it wasn't too early, he decided to go to the beach and just soak and clear his head from that dream.
He crept out of bed and slowly peeled off his clothes and slipped his trunks on and tip toed downstairs.
Carefully, he opened the door and ran to the shore. He stopped at the starting point and looked at the sky, almost sunrise. He sighed and dove in.
------------------------------------
After about 2 hours of swimming, he decided to get out. When his foot touched the moist sand, something felt odd. He sat down and touched his leg. It felt normal but it also felt slimy. "Eww! What the heck?" He muttered and grabbed a towel and wiped it off. He sighed in relief and saw Sofia on the porch waving and held a plate of fries. "Hey! A little too early for fast food." Luke ran to her and sat next to her. She rolled her eyes and poured him a glass of water and placed the water flavors next to him. Strangely, he picked up the salt shaker and started shaking salt in his cup. Sofia couldn't help laughing. "Ok Luke that's enough. Enough. ENOUGH!" She said and took the shaker away from him. Luke shrugged and took a sip of the salted water. It didn't seem to bother him so he chugged the rest down. "Ugh! Ew! Luke!" Sofia groaned laughing.
