Chapter One

MARCO
Marco peeked out the cave. The target was approaching fast. He gulped. It was now or never. He jumped out, frightening it, and pecked through it with his beak.

The fish was dead.

He had food for the first time in days. As he thankfully ate it, he kept a watch out. Even though the other alphas couldn't come into the seas themselves, they had allies. Tavie could swoop in any moment.

Why was he scared?

Because Liza and Greely had been chasing him for days now. he'd left the seal cavern in Mt. Shiveer after they were invaded and Harper was taken. After running to Sarepia Forest and staying in the Flag Shop for a few days, he had to go into the township. He tricked them into thinking he was heading to The Temple of Zios, but really slipped back into the forest and back to Shiveer. He took the cave to Crystal sands and dove into Kani Cove through the aquarium. After making it to Bahari Bay, he had hidden between seaweed.

Why were they alpha's chasing him?

Because they were evil. Liza, Greely, Sir Gilbert, Graham, Cosmo and Peck had been after the other alphas forever and with Tavie's newfound help, even the water was dangerous. They ad no idea wy they were being chased, but they had gotten used to hiding. So used to it that there was no memory of them but rock statues carved so crudely it made them reconcilable
This way jammers wouldn't recognize them.
Lost in his train of though, a flipper reached down, picking Marco up. His widened, but it was too late. The fish carried him away as his food fell down into the Deep Blue.
