Taz dug his feet into the sand, enjoying the feel of the soft grains as they shifted between his toes and the smooth caress of the cool ocean breeze on his face and bare chest. He closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly upward, basking in the warm glow of the steadily rising sun as it peeked through the purplish-gray clouds that hung on the horizon. The steady hush of the waves soothed him, and he stood like that for a moment, simply enjoying the familiar sounds and smells of the ocean. His home.

Bright blue eyes snapped open, and Taz suddenly surged forward, leaving the sand behind him to replace it with the rough wood of the old dock. He pumped his arms, feet pounding against the loose planks until he reached the end, where he bent his knees and leaped over the edge without a moment's hesitation. He curved his body downward, tucked his chin into his chest and made a point with his arms above his head as the water rushed up to meet him.

The cold water surged around him in a flurry of tiny bubbles, and Taz found himself sinking slowly down into the murky depths, gently tugged back and forth with the movement of the waves. He suddenly felt his feet barely touch bottom, and he let himself go completely limp, floating weightlessly, like a feather drifting on the wind. A few bubbles escaped from between his lips, and he watched them rise to the surface, the distorted edge of the dock barely visible in his blurred vision. It was almost completely silent down here, so peaceful and calming. He was right where he wanted to be, where he always wanted to be, and where he wished he could stay forever.

And then a familiar shape suddenly appeared above him, a fuzzy black and white thing that peeked over the edge of the dock and stared down at him through the murky water. He smiled, a few more bubbles escaping from his mouth to flutter to the surface. He slowly bent his legs, stretching his arms high above him, and pushed off the sandy ocean bottom, leaving the serenity of the sea floor behind. He could only hope that he'd return.

Taz's head broke the surface, and he immediately sucked in a mighty gulp of air into his lungs. His little sister, Nat, stood above him on the deck, her skinny arms crossed over her chest and one thin black brow raised disapprovingly.

"Honestly, Taz," she began, shaking her head at her older brother. "It's a miracle you haven't grown gills and a fish tail by now. You were down there for, what, five whole minutes?"

"Four and a half." Taz grinned crookedly, treading the water.

"Whatever," she said with a roll of her eyes. "Either way, you still have fish for brains."

Taz laughed, reaching up to grip the edge of the dock as he heaved himself out of the water and onto the wooden surface. Nat backed up with a wrinkle of her nose, trying her best to not get dripped on. Taz grinned mischievously, to which her eyes widened, then shook his head like a dog. His sister leaped backward with a shriek.

"Taz!" she complained, shooting him a murderous glare. Taz looked at her innocently.

"I'm sorry, sis," he said, trying hard not to smile as he opened his arms wide. "Hug?"

"No thanks," she grumbled, wiping saltwater off her face. "Come on, fish-breath. It's starting soon, and you still need to go home and change." She began walking back towards the shore, and Taz stared after her, letting his arms drop back down to his side as he stood dripping wet at the end of the dock. He felt a sudden pang of fear, watching her. The Reaping would begin soon, and Nat was twelve years old now. What if...

He shook his head to clear away the thought. No, he told himself. Her name's only in there once. She's safe. The odds...are in her favor. She's safe...

Nat stopped and turned back to look at him, one brow raised questioningly. "Taz? You okay?"

There was a note a worry in her tone, and Taz quickly showed her a bright grin. "Yeah!" He trotted down the dock to catch up, and the concern on his sister's face shifted into a smile. He grinned back at her, throwing one dripping arm around her shoulders. She struggled to escape, complaining about getting her hair wet and having to change her dress for the third time that morning.

She's safe, he reminded himself once again as he held her to his side. She'll be safe...
