Love

The Aquarium
“Hey, handsome!” It wasn’t a greeting I was used to hearing and I ignored it at first, presuming the voice I’d heard from behind me was calling out to somebody else.

Yes , I thought to myself . That must have been Visceroy . He just sent Royce flying with his giant staff attack . The way Royce was sent flying through those trees . Im sure that he's not getting up any time soon . Sure enough I saw him running up to where I was still standing in shock . He started to speak to me when he arrived . "Hey Bright , sorry if I was late . I noticed you guys fighting , but I had to fight through a few foot soldiers myself . I can sense the others by their scents . Their magical pressures all seem faint though ." I told him no problem he came just in time . I let him know that I had confidence that our friends would be just fine . They were just knocked out at the worst . I did want to check them out and make sure they were not gravely injured . He agreed with me and we gathered them in one spot . Lillandra was in the best shape . She had blood coming out of her mouth but she could sit up , everyone else was knocked out cold .

Glass Walls
The Mataatua Orbital Aquarium had all the makings of a tourist trap: false facades meant to look like an underwater alien temple, a casino right next door, and high-end shopping all around it. But it had, over the years, grown into something more, something even Caroline Dorsey had to appreciate.

The Payback?
She was naked under her robe, but she didn’t care. Her robe was light enough not to be bulky and cumbersome but heavy enough to not be considered sheer.

Fishbone
"How are you feeling?" Doctor Macy ran her fingers through Ruby's hair, her eyes glistening with a sadness the little girl had grown accustomed to. It'd been a while since Ruby arrived in the children's ward. Diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour spreading like wildfire, Ruby often heard the doctors around discussing her case. They used big words Ruby didn't understand, but she could tell by watching. The way her aunt would clutch her chest and lean onto her brother. The way her father would wrap his arms around his sister, his shoulders hinting at the fear he was desperate to hide. The way they would smile at her, a smile forced through the pain Ruby knew they felt for her. Then they would tell her she had nothing to worry about.

Ben
Meet Ben The little girl watched with deep interest as the fish swam from one end of the tank to the other. She followed the fish back and forth, both enjoying themselves immensely. The fish stopped and so did the girl, they were staring at each other through the glass when bubbles spilled from the fish’s mouth. The girl laughed, clapped her hands enthusiastically, and cheered. The fish was quite pleased with himself and began swimming in a figure eight pattern. The girl cheered some more.

One hour passed since Ashley told me we were going to get to London soon. As I was going to get down from the train, I tripped but someone caught me by the waist to prevent me from falling.

The aquarium was nearly vacant at eleven a.m. on a Wednesday. I bought a ticket from the bored-looking woman sitting in the glass box at the entrance, headset plugged into her phone, as she responded to whoever she was talking to in between telling me my total.
