Ocean eyes, salty kiss ((2 person!))

I heard a small sigh from him as he muttered under his breath, "Land be damned, I feel so dry..."
After a moment, he stopped, and I could feel his eyes on my turned back, "I came to bring Salt back."

"What if she doesn't want to come back? If you try and take her against her will then I will have to stop you"

There came a deep growl, "Look, human, you have no idea what your dealing with. Both of you." I glanced lightly over my shoulder, giving my own growl back.
"It is my choice to be here."

"You heard her, now please leave her alone or I will have to force you to leave." I said, grabbing a handful of powder from a bag in my pocket.

"I leave now, but you realize that more of us will be back, and not all of them are going to be as gentle as I am."
My voice was harsh, "Just go. Tell Rocas he should keep to myself and decide on a new mate."
He gave a chuckle, "Its not like your taken."

"She is." I growled and glared at him.

He made a scoffing sound, "By who? You? You're both from entirely different worlds; You'll never get what you want from her you know. She's a little sea witch. Rocas is doing us all a favor in taking care of her."
"He's trying to kill me!" I interjected, but he only gave a shrug.
"You're a danger to everyone around you, including him." he gestured towards Alex, "Be grateful Rocas was willing to deal with you."

"What are you talking about? Salt is no witch." I growled.

He chuckled, "Have you seen her attack someone? Even for us, she's a monster."

"No I haven't but I will find a way to save her." I growled and cocked my fist, "Last chance."

He shook his head, "I'm not looking for a fight, so I'll leave for now. I'll come back when your choking on your own words." As he turned and walked away, I found my legs were shaking, and I felt terribly out of breth.

I looked back when I heard the choking and saw Salt, "What's wrong?" I asked softly, rushing to her side, my anger quickly dissipating.

I gave a shaky laugh, "T-that scared me. A-and... He is right." I looked up to Alex, feeling my eyes sting, "Everything he said, he is completely right.'

I frowned and tried to look her in the eye, "Whatever it is that you have we can deal with when the time comes." I said softly.

I squeezed my eyes shut tightly, "And what if we can't deal with them? What then?"

I gently cupped her chin and lifted it up gently, "Look at me." I said softly but firmly.

My lower lip trembled slightly as I slightly opened my eyes, obeying his words.

I looked into her eyes with fiery determination, gently brushing her cheek, "I promise you that we will find a way." I said softly, meaning every word.

Hearing him say that, seeing the look on his face, I believe him. I swallowed thickly, giving him a small nod.
"Okay... I trust you. I will try not to worry." came my whispered reply as I mustered up the best smile I could.

I smiled and drew her into my arms, "Good, now let's go home." I said softly

I nodded slowly, my face buried into his shoulder as I wrapped my arms around him.
Pulling away, I still held tightly to his hand as we walked, almost all my scales gone by now since I was dry.

I skied and picked up our stuff before leading her home, my mind racing with plans and strategies to deal with our problem.

We were quiet as we walked, and I felt Alex was thinking deeply.
"You said earlier..." I said quietly, not even sure if he was listening, "You said I was taken. What did you mean by that?"

I blinked as I returned to reality, "Hmm? Oh that? Well I thought... you know that... we were...." I stuttered, feeling my face flush

I also reddened slightly, giving him a small smile, "We are?" I couldn't keep the excited note out of my voice.
