With a decently loud splash, your head broke the surface of the sparkling ocean water. With water dripping down your face, you looked up at the moon. It was night time, and the moon was high in the sky.

During the night, humans tended to stay away from the beach at night, so it was safe for you to be out. You enjoyed looking at the sky, it was peaceful and relaxing.

What you didn’t expect, was someone on the beach. This was supposed to be your time! The humans had the beach during the day, you had it at night. They never agreed to the terms, but still!

Looking over, you noticed a faint figure standing on the shore, looking up at the sky just as you had. He didn’t seem to notice you yet, so you dove under and swam a little closer. A few feet away from the shore, you poked your head out of the water and watch him. He didn’t look at you, which gave you the hope that he hadn’t noticed you, well, that was until you heard his voice.

“I can see you y’know.” He huffed, now looking down at you. “What are you, some kind of freak?”
