Pride of the Ocean

i could see water boy, everything was calm, but i could see my body rithling in pain. "this is wierd!" i walked into the cove. "hey, what ever your name is, what happened to me? am i dead?" i saw the other two, but they were leaving. "Stop right there!" i stood in front of them, but they past through my body like i was smoke. "what the hell?"

I sank further into the water, where it became ice-cold. "Get out of my head!" I screamed, bubbles rising up. "It hurts!"

i saw bubbles rise. "he is drowning!" i jumped in, it got colder and colder, darker and darker. "Hey, i grabbed him by the arm and pulled him up. almost there, i thought to myself. i could see the light of the surface.

I struggled when someone grabbed my arm, trying to swim back down, beating my tail. "Let me go! Get out of my head!" I frantically twisted and turned.

i stopped as i heard his voice. he can talk? i let go of him. if he can, maybe i can. "tell me whats happening, im outside writhing in pain, but im also here! what is happening to me!"

As soon as he let go, I swam deeper and deeper. "You can't go in my head!" I shouted. "Leave me alone! You aren't him!"

i swam down. "What do you mean? what did you do to me! I want to know now! if you are killing me? i swear i will haunt you for the rest of your living life!"

"I'm already haunted!" I shouted, and curled up in the cold sand in the bottom of the cove. "Leave me alone..." I hid my face with the fin at the end of my tail.

i floated down next to him. "what happened, how did you become this? what am i becoming? will i have powers?"

"I don't know!" I shouted, tears mixing with this saltwater. "I have no idea!"

i sighed and held out my hand. "we both ahve to make it through this. so, why not do it together?"

I let out a shriek as I sank down to my knees holding my head. "Ow!! Make it stop!" I screamd then heard a voice. "Get out. Who the hell are you?!"

"You are NOT going through the same thing I am!" I shouted. "You have NO IDEA what I'm going through!"

i heard another shriek. "well, we arent the only ones. they need your help. something tells me you are the leader of our group. we need you to lead. i do, im up there, in the same pain you are. why im having some type of out of body experience, i do not know."

"I'm not anyone's leader..." I moaned in pain.

I sank futher down and layed on my back clawing at my head. "Please! Please someone help me!"

i knelt next to him. yes, you are. i can feel it." i bent down and grabbed his hand and focused. i could feel his pain, his loneliness, the sorrow. i tried to sort it out. the shapening pain in my body had died down. i could tell because i felt something pulling me back to my body.

"Let go of me..." I weakly pulled at my arm as he did... something to me. "Stop..."

i held onto his hand. "calm down, im taking your your pain!"

"No!" I cried, struggling. "Stop it!"

i was nocked down from pain. "this isnt from now. you have had more pain in your past then anyone i know."

"Don't you think I know that?! Let go of me!" I shouted, but my struggling was slowly dying down.

i concintrated harder. "calm down! im trying to help"

"No... you can't help..." I eventually just laid limp in the sand as he held my hand.

i could feel his headache reside. "feel better for now?"
