*:Kena's POV:*

I pull above the glass like water. I smile and hug Collin.

"Thank you so much, Collin! You're truly the best!" I whisper into his ear. I feel him smile. Amber and Abriella burst out laughing behind us.

"What's so funny?" Collin asks, sounding stern. He pulls away and looks at them with a straight face.

"You two!" Amber says through laughs. She points at us and falls underwater laughing. This makes me burst out laughing.

"Now you!" Collin said turning towards me.

"Who invited the hyenas? I could hear them 200 yards away." Narina says as she pulls above water. I shut up and straighten my expression. Abriella swims over to me, calmed down.

"Who is that?" Abriella whispers.

"That's Narina, Collin's sister." I whisper back. She nods and swims over to the sand island.

"Hi, Narina. Have fun drowning sailors?" I ask teasingly. She glares at me.

"Indeed I did. And by the way, I do not enjoy this game you are playing."

"Sorry to say but... I do." I smirk at her. She growls and swims over to me.

"These your little mortal friends?" She asks, putting her hand on my chin and pulling my face towards her.

"Yes. And don't even think of touching them, you hear, Narina." I spit through tight teeth. I smack her hand off my chin and grab Amber's arm.

"What's her problem?" Amber asks as I drag her to the sand island.

"Me. So just leave her alone, please. She's my enemy not yours." I reply, looking at her with sad eyes. She looks me dead in the eyes and nods. We keep swimming till we reach Abriella.

"So.... While you've been gone, you've gained your first enemy and your first boyfriend? You're on a role!" Abriella says excitedly.

"Guess so." I say smiling at her.

"That girl has problems. Like mental problems." Amber says. We all fall to the ground laughing.

"I'll be back in a little bit! Just going to get dinner!" Collin yells to us. I nod and jump in the water. I swim over to him and give him a goodbye kiss on the cheek.

"See you in a bit, Collin." I say. I swim back over to the sand bank. "We better start a fire to cook dinner with because I don't think you guys will like this kind of sushi." They nod.

"Okay, we're going to need a looking glass and some dry wood." Amber says. We nod and go off to look. I find three pieces of dry wood.

"Got three pieces of wood!" I yell, tossing them ashore.

"Great I got a looking glass!" Amber says. "What did you get, Abriella?"

"Nothing." Abriella says, sounding very dissapointed.

"Go find some muscles and clams that we can cook. That'll give you something to do, Abriella. We're gonna work on starting the fire." I say politely. Her face lights up and she dives under. I pull myself up to the shallows and hold the looking glass at the perfect angle between the sun and the wood.

"Pluff." Amber added the sound effect as the wood went up in flames.

"Got those muscles and clams you wanted, Kena." Abriella said, pulling up next to me.

"Great, time for a well deserved snack." I say, taking three clams and peeling the meat out. I poke the meat with a stick till it goes through. I put it over the fire so it gets a perfect taste. That's when I notice its really quiet. I look around.

"Ha ha, guys. Very funny. You got me, you can come out now." I say cautiously as I drag my heavy body into deeper water. There's a ripple over by a coral reef hidden at the bottom of the cave. "Guys... seriously, this isn't funny."

"Perfect. Princess Kena. Get her girls." A husky male voice says from a distance. I whip around and see three girls coming towards me. They're some hybrid like creature that's half octopus, half human. Sorta like a messed up mermaid.

"Stop now and no one gets hurt." I warn. I put hands up like I did to Narina but nothing happened. They chuckled and grabbed my arms. Two hybrids, one with brown hair and one with black hair, grab one arm each. The third, with white hair that has a few cyan streaks in it, tosses a bag over me and ties it up.

"Like you could hurt me." The male voice says, closer now. "Take her to Rafe. He'll enjoy our little guest very much." I feel a tug on the bag and then it start moving.
