~ Chapter 2 ~

                                    

                                          
Y/N S/C Cookie swam through the shadowy waters. It was hard to see anything other than the faint glow of small jellyfish, illuminating what was around them.
She could only pray that White Pearl Cookie was nearby, and the Sea was watching her, keeping her safe.
"Almighty Sea! Tell me why! Tell me why these hands are still useless!!!"
"White Pearl Cookie!"
Y/N S/C Cookie frantically swam towards her friend.
"Y/N S/C Cookie, please help me!" White Pearl Cookie pleaded. "Why, oh why, can I feel nothing? Is this normal?"
Y/N S/C Cookie immediately had nothing to say. What could be said at all to make everything seem better?
"I-... I am unsure. Perhaps your power takes time to finally reveal itself?"
White Pearl Cookie glanced away. "Do... do you really think so..? If not, am I just that useless..?!"
"You're not useless! You're amazing! Just please, calm down and listen to my voice, and come back to Tearcrown with me. Your sisters are concerned, especially Frilled Jellyfish Cookie. I can feel it." Y/N S/C Cookie reassured her.
"My Lady! Y/N S/C Cookie!" Frilled Jellyfish Cookie emerged through the seaweed. "I'm so glad you two are alright!"
White Pearl Cookie looked up at Frilled Jellyfish Cookie. "The Sea spoke to me, Frilled Jellyfish Cookie! Why do I have nothing!"
"My Lady! Wait! You're heading too close to the end of the water!"
"White Pearl Cookie, it's OK! I can talk to the Sea myself later, just come back!"
"But I don't know what to do anymore! I know that look on your face, Y/N S/C Cookie; you're unsure!"
She was right, unfortunately... Y/N S/C Cookie frowned, looking down.
Suddenly, White Pearl Cookie screamed. She disappeared out of the water, a trail of bubbles left behind.
"NO!!!"
The very last thing Y/N S/C Cookie saw was a brown rope. And the only thing a rope could possibly be would be a net. And a net meant...
Land Cookie's.
. . .
A voice began to echo into Y/N S/C Cookie's head.
"...Disappearing..."
The Sea was speaking. Half to itself, but letting its guard down.
"Please," it continued. "Don't go..."
"What..?" Y/N S/C Cookie mumbled, looking around. She could feel some kind of disturbance in the ripples of the water. What was going on?
But now was not the time to be concerned about the Seas whispers. White Pearl Cookie needed to be rescued.
"Y/N S/C Cookie! Hurry up!" Frilled Jellyfish Cookie called out.
"Oh, yes! Sorry!"
Tearcrown was right up ahead. At least more than two guards were slowly patrolling the area, presumably keeping an eye out for the return of White Pearl Cookie.
Y/N S/C Cookie doubted they'd see her anytime soon...
. . .
Y/N S/C Cookie burst right through the doors to the Sea Fairy Tear. White Pearl Cookie's four older sisters were there; Golden Citrine Cookie, Aquamarine Marine Cookie, Mystic Opal Cookie, and of course, Crimson Coral Cookie.
"White Pearl Cookie is in danger!" Y/N S/C Cookie blurted out, eyes wide. "She was captured by Land Cookie's, and it's all my fault! I couldn't get her to listen to me, and she drifted backwards, getting caught in a net!"
"WHAT...!!!?!" Crimson Coral Cookie gasped.
Frilled Jellyfish Cookie appeared next to her. "It's true!" She then turned to Y/N S/C Cookie. But it's not your fault; you tried your best to reason to with her!"
"Y/N S/C Cookie! Tell me the location of where our little sister disappeared!" Crimson Coral Cookie said in a sternly yet panicked voice.
"O-of course! At the edge of the kingdom. If you're quick, you'll catch the boa- I mean, hollow whale, before it reaches its final destination. Just go past Seaweed Forest, and there's a high chance it'll be around there. Hollow whales move slowly after all."
Crimson Coral Cookie nodded, calming down slightly. "Come, my sisters! Gather all the attacking Legions possible and prepare them for battle!"
They sisters immediately swam out the door. For a moment, Y/N S/C Cookie was worried the door might just fly off its hinges.
It could be fixed anyway. Now was the time for a talk with the Sea....
