A way of life (OLD AND DISCONTINUED)

The Machine

Lock's POV
I wake up and go to my window, I stare up at the top of the water. I set off to go find one of my sisters, I hear Keykey before I see her.
"Morning Lock!" She says.
"Morning" I reply.
"There're some weird machines coming down here closer than usual, they destroyed one of Nai's hiding places." She says in a concerned voice.
"I'll look out and hide from them if I see one" I reply,
"Ok, have a nice day lil bro."
"Thanks, you too"

And I go off to see what these weird machines are.

-about 3 hours later-

I hear a weird noise from inside an old shipwreck, I go to see what it is.
It's one of those machines, it moves, facing me. I freeze.
And I see something moving inside, I swim up to it.
The thing inside is a man, he walks up to the glass. I speed out of there, the machine seems to follow me.
I turn back and look at it again. The man inside puts his hands up to the glass, I swim up to it and put my hands against his.

He smiles at me, and asks me
"What's your name? Do you have one?"
I say my name is lock
"What? I can't hear you
I write my name in the sand
"Your name is Lock?" He asks
I nod, "nice to meet you Lock, my name is Caleb."
I smile, and get an idea.

I point up, and swim towards the surface, Caleb follows me.
The machine surface, I lean against the glass of the weird machine, the top of the machine opens and Caleb's face appears,
"So you're a mermaid? Only a boy?" He says
"Yeah.."
He climbs all the way out of the machine,
I stare at him
"What?" He asks
"Nothing.." I say
He lies down on the machine his face the closest to me,
he tells me about why he's down here. I tell him about my family and about my life.

A long while later he has to leave, and promises that he'll come back tomorrow.
I go home and get to bed.

As I drift off to sleep I think
'Caleb was nice .. I like my new friend...' and with that I'm asleep.
