(Okie!)

Moxiey cut through the water, her heart pounding. She had to find her brother.

Maddox heard something swimming nearby, but didn't think anything of it.

She stopped and her hair swirled around her face. "Maddox!" she called into the water.

"Moxiey?" Maddox said quietly to himself, turning around and looking for his sister. "Moxiey?" He called out a little louder.

Toka happily hummed a song to himself as he made his way to the surface. In his hands was a crown he was finishing up, tightening the kelp holding the orange flowers together. He stopped when he spotted what looked like a mer-shark rushing in the opposite direction of the shores, and he tilted his head a bit. There was the faintest color of blood trailing behind them, and Toka became worried; were they hurt? He glanced at the flower crown, then decided to follow.
He watched as they went past a shipwreck, where two other merfolk and some jellyfish creature were hovering, but Toka kept out of their sight and kept following the mer-shark.

Moxiey heard her brother call back and swam quickly in his direction. "Maddox!"

"Hello, Moxiey." Maddox waved to her once he could properly see her.

"Oh hey," she stammered, seeing all the other sea creatures. "Umm… Hello."

Seong turned the corner into a dark cave. He looked around his blue eyes glowing in the dark. He took a sharp knife he found in some ruins a while ago. He spun around quickly stabbing a fish the was swiftly swimming nearby. Blood filled the water around them as he sniffed the scent in.
"yum"
He grins with the fish on the long knife.

"Hello, are you his sister?" Iris asked

Moxiey met the girl's gaze. "Yep."

Toka slowed down and cringed when the smell of blood hit his nose. He covered his mouth and nose, but kept going slowly, peering around the cave. "U-um, hello? I saw you come in here, and I…i-it looked like you were bleeding, so I wanted to help."

He turned his head sharply. He swiftly swims up towards the mermaid.
"no im just a muderer….. now unless you want to die"
He hovered over the boy smiling

Toka screamed sharply, covering his face and backing away. "N-no thank you! I'm sorry, I just…s-so you aren't hurt?" He asked quietly, peeking at the mer-shark.

Moxiey heard the scream and jerked up. "What was that?!"

Maddox looked up as well, confused, but remaining silent.

Iris instinctively came infront of the three others. "I dont know, I'll go check it out." She said "stay here."

Moxiey was already headed in the direction of the danger. She swam past Iris and hovered by the entrance to the cave.

"Moxiey!" Maddox didn't want to disobey Iris since she was so nice to him, but he couldn't just let his twin run off into danger. He silently swam after her, catching up quickly.

He grabbed his arm and leaned close.
"just on the inside"
He swam out of the cave holding his forearm, he let go of it, his nails pierced the boys skin.
"spy on me one more time and ill kill you… got it?"
And with that he swam away.

Moxiey's eyes widened at the sight she witnessed.

He whimpered and held his arm as soon as it was released and nodded quickly before the guy swam off. He exhaled and panted lightly, his heart racing. That was…terrifying. Why was he so mean? Toka shook his head and turned away from the cave.

Iris chased after the twins and found them by a cave, looking at a boy who was bleeding. "Hello…?" She asked cautiously

"Hey!" Moxiey hissed, trying to get his attention.

Toka flinched, the ear-fins twitching. He turned to see the merfolk he had seen the mer-shark go by earlier. "Oh, h-hello." He gave a small wave with his unharmed arm.
