Being a shark pup was a terrifying experience. There were many dangers to face like: adult sharks, birds, predatory fish and humans.

Cross, a small and helpless shark pup, was looking for a place to hide. He was scared of anything that came his way. Whether it was sardines or clown fish, he would swim away.

It was getting dark and the small shark pup knew that. He wanted to seek shelter and fast." What's a shark pup like you doing all the way out here?" A deep voice said in a hushed tone. Cross did the one thing he knew to do: swim away. He bolted away from- whatever it was. It was all in vain when black skeletal hands grabbed him by his torso, being gentle." Hey, shhhhhh. It's okay. I won't hurt you~" The creature spoke, bringing him close to its chest- ribcage?

Error, a moray eel, was shocked to see a shark pup out in the open. Especially one that was 3 days old. He also noticed some scars on the poor pup." Where did you get these scars?" He asked the pup, knowing that he could talk." Surface dwellers..." Humans?! Error thought. He wanted to say something before the sound of a boat approaching was heard.

Cross felt a wet muscle move across his skull. He froze before looking up, only to be engulfed by the jaws of the creature. He struggled, but the creature had a firm grip around his torso. He was pushed further into the mouth and into the throat, the fake flesh squeezed him gently. Without warning, he was swallowed. His entire upper torso pulled into the creature's throat.

Error felt bad for swallowing the shark pup. He heard nets being thrown into the water, causing him to go to his den with the tail of the pup sticking out of his jaws. His sharp teeth not harming the pup, tho, he was worried about the tooth in his throat. 'Did it hurt the pup?' He thought.

His question was answered when he didn't taste the familiar bone marrow and magic. He sighed, relieved that he didn't harm the pup.

He began swallowing once more, his throat's fake flesh pulling the pup deeper into his body. Tho, the pup began to struggle and it made him taste a familiar liquid he didn't want to taste: bone marrow. His tooth made the poor pup get hurt. He sighed once more and swallowed, bringing the pup fully into his throat before he gulped. He felt the pup struggle on the way to one of his internal pouch-like-insides.

Cross saw that he was entering a more roomier chamber before it clicked: he was entering the creature's stomach. He struggled, causing him to slip into the creature's stomach further.

He was fully inside the stomach, feeling hopeless." L-let m-m-me o-out!" He weakly struggled as he silently cried. He didn't even realize his wound, that was caused by the tooth in Error's throat, was healed.

" L-let m-m-me o-out!" Those words broke his SOUL when he felt the pup weakly struggle." No. If I did, other predators or humans would hunt you down and kill you, turning you into a quick snack." He said, trying to let the small pup know that he was safe." B-b-"" No buts. Besides, if I wanted to kill you: wouldn't I have done that already?" He asked. The pup stopped struggling, seeming to think about his words." Now, get comfortable. You're going to in there the whole night." He said while laying down.

Cross slightly relaxed upon hearing those words. He curled in on himself as best as he could before closing his sockets. Before he fell asleep, he felt vibrations all around him and the sound of purring before falling asleep.

Error felt the other go limp as he purred, his whole body vibrating. He placed his skull by his tail where Cross was and closed his sockets, falling asleep.

The End
