Chapter Fifteen ★ Bond

​

It was too late to change directions. I was coming down on the drunken powered witch when she shifted and sent another lightening bolt my way. The world went fuzzy.

My body flopped and flipped out of the boat then crashed into the hectic ocean waves. The water spout closing in to where I laid prone on the water’s surface. Everything spun and whirled around.

The roaring got louder and I knew I needed to get up. Far off I heard the witch let out a keening cackle as they got further away. Inside the beast clawed to get out and without Daniel close by it was a losing battle.

Red tinged my vision as my blood hummed and thirsted for the rush of the kill. The powerful shark tail refused to budge as the impending doom of the spout got closer.I needed to get the heck out of here.

 I needed Daniel. 

Sure, I wanted my friend Pearl back. But, in the small amount of time that I spent with Daniel I realized that he and I had more of a intertwined path. Guess you could say that he and I were destined to be together.

Focus Luna. Focus. Ya got a dang water spout after yer butt and here yer swooning over a dang werepup. I shook my head and dove under the surface.

The water that followed the spout whizzed on by and only pushed me slightly out of the way. Deep down it probably was stronger but the red heat that was surging throughout my entire being was winning.

Gnashing together shark teeth I swam in the last know direction of the boat. That witch is dead meat. Glorious dead meat. The inner shark agreed that she would be tasty.

I could feel the shark let some of my natural merpowers slip through which allowed for easier navigation of rough waters. Again I caught up with the boat but did not surface. Instead I kept low and listened.

Sure, shark eyesight can be cruddy but our hearing and sense of smell is off the charts. The blood from the witch left a palatable trail that I could follow. This was the correct boat.

Above I heard her speak, “That shark ain’t gonna cause no more troubles.”

“I wouldn’t write Luna off, just yet.” Ray said then added, “When she puts her mind to it then she will not let it rest.”

The witch cackled, “Did you see her turn into barbequed shark? I could smell her meat cooking from that last zap. Mmmm. Makes me want some calamari now.”

“Like I said…” Ray began. “I wouldn’t consider Luna to be dead yet.”

The witch whined, “Can I call of the spouts at least? They’re draining my reserves.”

“No. Keep at least one that you can call on just in case.” Ray demanded then turned the boat.

I followed just underneath. Attacking them outright wasn’t getting me anywhere. I needed to find out where he was taking Daniel and where he hid Pearl.

“But I’m tired.” The witch pouted.

“Not my problem.” Ray argued back. “You were hired to be my guard. Until we’re back in port then your job isn’t done.”

Footsteps on the boat echoed into the moving waters. The witch kicked something and it let out a whine. She groused, “If Longman and his cronies had done there job then we wouldn’t be needing to do this right now.”

“Leave the werepup be.” Ray said then ordered, “Just sit. Keep one of your spouts going for protection. We only have a little bit more to go.”

“Fine.” She pouted once more.
