《Water Lovers》Chapter 14
Advertisement
Losing family and friends are some of the hardest things in life. They are the most important aspects of your life and letting them go is tough. Some friends pull through to stay and some get taken away without any warning and leave you empty.
I hop in the water, the cool liquid enveloping my whole fake tail. I turn around with my hands on the platform. I see Jordan and Austin have joined us and are looking at me with determination and hope.
"I'm ready. Hand me the bottle!" I ask Max and he grabs the small vial in his big hand.
He reaches forward and places the small glass cure in my open palm. I take a meditative breath to calm my nerves and fire slowly ignites in my eyes.
Stella will get better and I am making sure Jack pays for what he has done. Making me endure all this hell when I never asked for it.
There is a good reason one of my other titles is called the queen of the waves and he will see how monstrous I can make my own wave toward him.
"Alright, here I go." I exhale all my Co2 from my body and lower myself in the water.
Like early in the morning I can clearly hear the people in the underwater cave. I can hear all the clicks and shrieks the dolphins make. I turn around my arms flapping the water but doesn't cause any bubbles to form.
The three dolphins face me floating and observing what I am going to do. I smile at the three and stretch my free hand out for the dolphins to muzzle on.
Crystal is the first who makes a few small clicks and whines, feeling sad for the older dolphin laying below us.
Blue is the next who nuzzles her snout on my hand and she lowers her whole body leaning on mine for support and a hug which I accept wrapping my arms around her.

I have always had a connection with these girls it scares me but encourages me that Stella will live.
Duchess swims around us and presses her body on the curve of my back. She clicks fast in a pure and a small shriek in worry for her mother figure.
Duchess has a stronger bond with her mother figure and has more cause to worry than the other two.
I pet each of them and soon wave my hand upwards, pushing my body lower. I bend my upper body down and flip my tail up, aligning my body to point downwards. The small green vial still in my tight grasp.
I swim slowly toward Stella, the three young dolphins greet her first. I stop swimming and float a few meters above Stella and with a slight shriek from her I lower myself all the way.
The back of my mind tells me to wave to the crowd but I hold firm on my instincts.
This isn't a show and all my focus is on Stella. I lay my stomach on the sand ground, some sand particles float up then settle back down.
I look at Stella and her right eyes gaze at me. I can see the fear in her eyes, her slight clicking telling me she needs something to calm her.
I smile and stretch my hand forward. This process is slow and careful, if I jerk my hand away or move too fast Stella will be even more afraid. I am doing the same thing I did when meeting the distraught dolphin.
When I am a centimeter away from touching Stella I stop and look at Stella's eyes. She continued to hold her gaze on me and her fins push down while her body lifts slightly and my hand is firm on her skin.
I continue to hold my gentle smile and lightly pet her. Rubbing my hand, mainly my fingers side to side along her body. flap my tail down slightly to move closer and Stella doesn't move.

If only I can talk to her then this would be easier but I keep my mouth closed and keep holding my breath. I take my other hand out with the vial in my hands and show her it.
Her right eye glances down at the vial and back at me. I smile blinking once showing it is alright through facial expression.
Surprisingly and wonderfully, Stella stops shaking under me and moves her snout closer to my hand. I can celebrate later, right now I have to get this vial in her mouth.
I put my thumb under the cork side and push up, the lid popping off and float down on the sand.
Stella lifts her muzzle open slightly a bit of fear is in her eyes. I smile and drag my hand that is on her side to her snout. I open my palm and lay my hand flat under her chin.
I nod and Stella widens the gap in her mouth allowing me to shove my hand in there with the vial.
I lift her head up in order for the substance in my hand to go down her throat. It leaks in and from where I am looking I see Stella gulping it down with the back of her throat. My lungs are squeezing warning me that six minutes are passing.
I lift some more of Stella's chin in order to fully dump the kelp in her throat and soon the vial is empty.
I pull my hand out with an empty bottle and Stella closes her mouth. I smile with a hopeful and kind glint in my eye.
I see her swallow some more of the kelp I guess that hasn't fully gone down. she opens once more with a nice smile and shrieks in happiness.
My small smile stretches along my face in glee although it falls down as my chest is thumping and I struggle to focus.
My time is up. I have to surface!
Stella and the three dolphins insert themselves around me and with a strong push of their tailfins lift me above. I use my own tail as well to thrust myself higher to the surface.
Almost there and I see Max holding his hand in the water. I lift my right hand as the dark corner of my eyes closes in.
Few centimeters left the dolphins sequel and I am thrust higher and faster. I blink trying to get the blurriness out of my vision but it only returns back.
I faintly feel bigger fingertips brush mine and my legs stop swimming.
A firm hand grasps my wrist and pulls me up.
GASP! I inhale all the air that starts to flow back into my lungs.
"Yay!" my friends cheer as I keep breathing in all the oxygen needed for the blurriness to leave and darkness to disperse.
"Geez, you are a crazy lifesaver, girl." Jordan helps Max pull me on the platform and I lay on my back with a smile on my face.
My dolphin tailfin is still in the water and I feel snouts poking at it.
"I am fine girls." I lift my upper body and look at the four dolphins in front of me.
"I am proud of you Stella. Good girl." Max hands me a small fish and I hand it to Stella who swallows it down with a nice click and shriek.
"As we are proud of you Sarah," John announces with a smile that reaches his eyes.
It catches me off guard as it is the same smile of the pride my father gave me when I was able to successfully balance the waves on my small surfboard.
"Thank you." new tears gather in my eyes and everyone hugs me while the dolphins hug my tailfin.
*Yay! Stella is healthy and happy again!
Don't you love that?
Oh, but there is still more that is going to happen before it is the end.

Galactic Internet: System Initializing Book 1
The Galactic Internet is a system takeover LitRPG with two MC's. It's gritty and dark at times, so I'd like to start with a brief warning. The story was made for adults, and as such contains some cursing, potentially traumatizing violence, gore, indentured servitudes. There is no sexually explicit material in the first book. However, there is nudity and sexual interactions aren't out of the scope of possibilities for later in the story. The first book is almost exclusively trying to figure out how the game works and trying to stay alive. It is a very open system that I've implemented. Expect to see anything from androids and aliens, to goblins and trolls.
8 169When Plush comes to Shove
An: So the last synopsis wasn’t really all that good, it was just some mumbo jumbo with no actual point to it so I decided to make a new one that’s a bit more accurate. Leo Lush, just your average everyday (slightly chubby) schmuck, or at least he would be if he didn’t carry around a stuffed toy everywhere he went.I mean, he was a man who could read the atmosphere a bit so put it away in his bag whenever having a stuffed toy out would be rude but other than that he brought it with him all the time, it was a memento from his girlfriend who had died three years ago and keeping it close made him feel better. That’s also why his classmates gave him the nickname “Plush”, though that's neither here nor there. One day at the train station he’d lost his dearest stuffed toy, one of his classmates found it and lobbed it towards him, something that they’d already done many times before, but this time something went wrong and Leo found himself falling in front of the train due to the force of the throw. Now follow Leo as the spirit that developed in his stuffed toy and killed him forces his ghost into another world to possess a different stuffed toy. He doesn’t know much about the world or why he’s there but what he does know is that according to a magic book his girlfriend was also sent to this very world when she died in a plane accident three years ago. An: For those who want to know a bit more about what kind of story this will be: I want it to be a chill feel-good story and stay as far away from those despair-fest stories as possible (No offense to people who enjoy them, I’m just not one of you)Let me make something clear; I’m not writing this story with hope of it becoming really top tier among RRL (Though it did get above rank 500 once which I’m still very proud of even though it’s gone back down to ~850 at the time of writing this) I just want to write a story that I would enjoy reading, that’s why I’ll be mostly skipping over a lot of the parts that I skip when I read other stories, such as stats, the exact value of money and other such precise statistics that no one(as far as I’m aware) really cares about all that much. Just feels like a lot of effort for something superfluous.There’s a single exception and that’s one of the battles, it’s not a despair-fest or anything but it’s got a different feel than the rest of the story due to me being in a funky mood while I was writing it.
8 177Practically, I am weak because "I AM A WEED!" [Author Disappeared. ]
God could have made her into a human, elf or even an ugly goblin after reincarnation. BUT WHY THE HECK MUST IT BE A WEED?! Not only does she not have her arms and legs,she also doesn't have a mouth to talk.She doesn't even have friends to talk to!And to add insult to injury, the god even likes to prank her! Where is she? Why did she die? Or perhaps she didn't die but was just transported into this world by mistake. She found out that she wasn’t just a simple weed in a simple world. Perhaps, this is an RPG world and she is the main character. If so, will she even survive this world as a weed? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Inspired by Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken [TSSDK], Kumo Desu Ga Nani Ka?, Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou, Tsuki Ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Warning: Even though this is not my first time writing, I am not a native English speaker. My grammar might be *not good* for some people but I assure you that it's readable. There are a couple of authors that help me with proofreading some chapters, but because I want to release faster, I do not go through proofreading and post as soon as I finish a chapter. Plus, I am now using Grammarly.com There is no romance for the MC in the story, like you may expect, even though there are a lot of good looking men and women. *mild spoiler* After chapter 3, The mc meets quite some friends, before grinding her level after chapter 15. I assure you, it will be really hardcore for her since she will have to fight alone while her friends are doing other things. *spoiler end* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From now on, an update will happen every two week. I will also edit the old chapters on Monday. The people that want to read a proofread/edited version, will have to check it on Tuesday. ON HALT! Many thanks to Cool3303, Alverost, BloodTear, Vijaykakani and Nekolyn Emi for proof reading the chapters. If other want to take this story, go on. Do not have to credit the author. Author on a journey to death.
