them?”
“About three feet down in the center of the sea,” he answered.
I looked at Mason to see him staring at his handy work done on the gate. He shook his head and said, “Well, I guess we better get to swimming then.”
I patted his shoulder and told him, “We may still need this entrance. Thank you.”
He smiled as I placed a kiss upon his cheek. I looked at Olivia to see her roll her eyes with a small grin. I asked, “What?”
“Nothing,” she replied while shrugging her shoulders.
I heard a big splash and looked over to see Jack floating in the water. He hollered out, “Let’s go!”
One after the other we all jumped in the water and swam to him. He directed us towards the center of the sea. Surprisingly, the currents of the water practically did the swimming for us.
We followed Jack, for what was not a long time at all and finally reached the center of the gate bridge. He looked at us, while pointing straight down and said, “The lock that traps them all in is below. If opened, it will free them all.”
We swam down to examine it. We reached a few feet below the water and noticed a lock that was just like any other lock placed on a gate. The key hole was meant for something star shaped.
Jack and Olivia tugged at it hard, yet it did not budge. I watched all the creatures, big and small, look at us with excitement. As we failed to budge it open, the creatures turned in what seemed to be sadness.
We floated back up top to catch our breaths. I gasped for air and asked Jack, “What do we do now?”
He shook his head and answered, “I am not sure, Milly.”
Olivia said, “We have to do something!”
Mason heavily stayed afloat and exclaimed, “I have an idea!”
He went back under the water drastically. I yelled out, “Mason!”
By that time everyone followed him back down. I was hesitant to follow as well, but a good deep breath in made it possible.
I swam to the lock, once more, and watched him retrieve a rock out of pocket and watched him beat it senseless. After about three hits the lock busted off, and the gates opened to all of the creatures.
I watched as they all scattered out of their prisons. A few small shrimp-like creatures rubbed on my hand, and a couple of big eel-like ones just nodded and swam away. I could relate to the freedom.
I looked around to smile at everyone, and realized I was starving for air. I raced to the top and met them with a gasp above water. Olivia grinned at me, but I could feel my face harden.
Mason asked me, “What’s wrong? Is that not what you wanted?”
I shook my head in worry of them getting recaptured, but before I could answer I felt a push on my back. I looked around to see who did it, but no one I saw was around. I heard a yelp come from Olivia’s direction and seen she too had shared my experience.
Shortly after, we all felt the same push. I watched Mason swirl in two directions and yell, “Who did that?”
Jack answered loudly, “It is the currents. They are getting stronger.”
“We need to get out of here!” I demanded.
I looked at Olivia and she quickly was immersed under water followed by a shriek of surprise. I shook my head and said, “I don’t think currents do that! Olivia! Can you hear me?”
“We are
