Chapter 9 - Ch. 9 The Talkative Fish

They were still hungry after flying around Hong Kong. So they stopped by the water, in a small fishing village. Boats were loaded with fish and the full moon was sending its light over the quiet waters.

Aliena stopped near the birds and started looking at the deep waters.

- Who knows how many secrets these dark waters keep? was Aliena wondering.

In exactly that same moment, suddenly, from the deep waters, appeared a smal size fish but of a very blue light color.

- What a tasty looking fish is this, said the birds.

- Are you really so hungry? asked surprised that beautiful fish.

- We are indeed very, very hungry, answered the birds quite fast.

- Why don't you go to get some fish that's already taken in the boats?

- We don't get fish from others, we fish for ourselves.

- Well, that's good for you, but I am not ready to be eaten.

- The fish tried to leave, deep down in the waters covered by the light of the full moon, but Aliena was starting to be more curious about it.

- Please stay longer and speak more to us, beautiful talkative fish!

- So you can eat me faster? asked the fish.

- What else can we eat? asked the birds on their turn.

- There is a place in the corner of the water street where they sell fish. A lot of drops of blood are there too. Also by there, you also may find a soup with condensed blood that they sell on the streets.

- But how can we buy something? I don't have a phone with me to pay for buying things, I am a vampinnight and for people in this red dress, who knows what I look like.

- But, Aliena, you can communicate with any form of energy, said the talkative fish.

- I can communicate but I am more instinctive during nights than communicative, answered Aliena.

- Well, I hope you don't eat me. I live in these waters and I enjoy my life, and you were curious about me, so I advised you as well as I could.

- Gracious birds, said Aliena, let's go apnd try to find that corner street that has some soup, fish and drops of blood!

- Well then, let's go there!

- Good bye, talkative fish!

- We will meet again, Aliena, said the talkative fish and started swimming freely in the night.

Walking by the boats, to the corner of that street, they saw many drops of blood that looked appealing. The night markets of food streets had some condensed blood soup in one of the old containers. So, Aliena and the birds enjoyed what for them looked like a feast meal and the night started to look brither.

The full moon was covering them with a mysterious light and in the next second they felt asleep near that quiet street, just by the deep dark waters.
