The Moon and The Ocean

It was still dark, Ocean was sleeping peacefully in the back seat of the car. Her father, Sam Knight was driving the car and her mother Carla was talking to him.

Carla: She doesn't feel comfortable with the triplets.

Sam: Come on honey. They aren't that bad.

Carla: Tell that to your daughter. She told me that it's her condition to visit Jack, that she'll get her private room. She's not gonna share it with her cousins.

Sam: Okay fine. I'll tell Jack. He'll arrange her a separate room.

Carla: Yeah you better.

Sam: Okay wake her up, we're almost here.

Carla tapped on Ocean's shoulder to wake her up. It took her a minute to understand her surroundings.

Carla: We're almost here baby.

Ocean: Yeah! Can we go to the woods please? I wanna see the rising sun.

Sam: No baby! Uncle Jack is waiting for us and your Aunt made you lots of cookies. Do you wanna Miss that?

Ocean: But daddy?

Sam: No buts. We've already talked about it.

Ocean: Fine.

She said as she leaned back to her seat. Ocean Knight is the only child of Carla and Sam Knight. She's 10 years old, she's a very smart, sweet, cute and very obedient child. Summer vacations were about to end. Ocean and her parents were visiting Sam's younger brother Jack Knight. Jack lived in New Orleans and Sam lived in New York City. Ocean loves her uncle and Aunt, but their bratty 3 daughters, they were the worst nightmare for Ocean. They always trouble her.

So it's her time to enjoy the way she wants. Triplets were playing together but Ocean chose to play alone. Walking here and there, looking at trees and flowers, Ocean was enjoying. In a while she heard the evil laughter of her cousins. She followed the direction, voices were coming from. She gasped at the scenery in front of her. It was like a piece of heaven on Earth. It was a beautiful and Crystal clear lake. Seeing her there, her cousins left. She came close to see what they were doing. It was a fish out of water, and they left it on the ground to die. She quickly grabbed the fish and ran to the lake and gently left it in the lake. It took a few seconds, and the fish started swimming again. Ocean's lips curled up in a cute smile. She stayed there for a minute
