The Endless Ocean

Ding, Ding! The huge siren went at the same time I scored the perfect try, getting my team across the line for victory. Straight after the game I got pulled aside by the man who was the head of my club, the man said, “You have got a job to play for rugby in France, you will travel there by boat and we will pay for the trip.” I had to say yes, I thought to myself. It would be fine with my family and friends they’ll be happy for me. So I said yes.

When I got home everybody asked why I was home so early. “I’ve got big news,” I said in a confident voice. “I’m moving to France to play rugby.” But they didn’t seem so happy about it, they weren’t yelling but they weren’t screaming with happiness. They just said yes, ok!

Later on board the ship, as I was running down to my room, I was wondering what I would do when I got to Australia. Because I wouldn’t have a degree and I wouldn’t have any money or a house or even friends. Was it too late to go back now? Did I make the right choice? Should I risk it and swim back or should I stay and have the four best years of my life then after be poor and homeless?

Chapter Two: The Jump

That’s when I decided to choose to jump off the boat. Later on the wind felt as though it was holding me back but it wasn’t enough. I jumped right off. I knew it was the right choice. As my first hand went in first, so I suddenly looked at my hand, it had turned into something weird. My whole body went in. I just stood there under water looking at the infinite oceans of coral. The coral ocean was like an abandoned city, still with its lights on. I suddenly felt something weird I started growing gills and fins. I could breath under water. What I really wanted was to go back to Australia. So I tried swimming up on the top of the water but it was like the ocean wasn’t letting me. After trying for hours the ocean gave me this map that would lead me to this shell that would lead me to my home town. Hopefully it would also get rid of my gills and fins.

Chapter Three: The Villain Awakes

As I was swimming I saw a glimpse of this shark cross man with a pet fish in a cage. He was screaming at it. I knew I had to save that fish but I also didn’t know where he went. He started swimming off like a rocket. He had this huge mouth full of teeth as sharp as a lion's teeth, he even had 52. I heard him say to the fish, tomorrow I will turn everybody into me and they will suffer and know that swimming is a curse and a terrible thing. You fish will turn them into it.” So I instantly hid behind an old pole in front of him. For some reason I got this urge to look at him, but he saw me. This time he knew I saw him being horrible and that I had heard what he was going to do to the ocean and all the humans.

So I was following him back, with him knowing I was watching him like a hawk. I suddenly felt this huge wave coming. I was going to be killed! So I closed my eyes. It came down, I could feel it but I was fine. I knew it was just the beginning of turning everybody into a shark that couldn`t go to the surface for the rest of their lives. It was coming soon, the fish needed to get out and go to the surface.

Later, I saw the man go into this cave that had nobody in it. I thought to myself how long had he been down here? As I was walking in the cave I crouched so he didn’t see me again, because I had a feeling if he saw me again he might hurt me or even kill me! But I also got the feeling that I would have to fight him and it might be today.

Chapter 4: The Fight For Glory

I saw him grab a weapon so I thought to myself, “I have to get out of the cave.” As he went to look at something, I instantly swam as quickly as I could, but it wasn’t enough. He saw me because I made a huge noise, I stamped on this stick. So he yelled at me, swimming after me so fast. I was fast too, maybe even more faster than him. I saw a small cave so I went in it. I thought I was absolutely safe so I started walking forward through the cave to try to escape but as I was swimming, I saw this instant shock of light. I walked through it. I realised I was in a stadium, how could it get any worse? But then I saw him, the villain who wanted to ruin everybody’s life forever. I shouted, “Why are you doing this? What have they all done to deserve this much hate?”

“For my whole life I have been picked on for not being able to swim so now they will understand why.”

“They still won’t understand why.”

“Yes they will,and you are the one thing that is stopping me.”

He started running at me faster and faster. So what was I going to do? I couldn’t just stand there so I swam at him too. He suddenly threw these sharp blades at me, but I knew I had powers too, so I pushed as hard as I could out of my hands. I REFLECTED THEM! He went falling down to the ground. And he smashed his head down to the ground he was gone. So as quickly as light speed I swam to retrieve the victory and the item.

Chapter 5: The Way Home

As I entered his cave, I saw the fish. As I grabbed it the cave started falling. I tried grabbing the one thing that would save everybodys life but the cage wouldn’t open, I was doomed. A brick fell from the ceiling and the fish broke free. It was amazing, the fish grabbed me and swam outside. It was too late, the ground started shaking he was going to blow. BOOM! I opened my eyes, for some reason there were fish everywhere different kinds and the city was made again. It was majestic, it had diamonds just for the dirt. But I couldn’t stay I needed to get back to Australia to my real home. Later as I was coming up to the surface everybody was surrounding me clapping for some reason.

Chapter 6: The End
