Coral smiled, and hugged her back. *besides Shark, no one ever does.*

Taika smiled and hugged Coral tighter.

A growl appeared from the doorway. *Coral. What. Is going on.*

Fear flashed over Corals face before she broke the hug and turned to her father, misting, nothing, Daddy.

Neptune frowned. *i said your not allowed to be near them. Come with me.*

Coral began walking over to him, then Neptune knocked her down, grabbed her tail with his mouth, and began dragging her.

Skrelp cried out and ran over, only to get knocked over and picked up by Neptune. *and your grounded, Shrimp.*

Taika gasped, she wanted to make Neptune pay for all of his abusement.

Neptune paid them no mind and left, Coral crying softly from embarrassment and pain.

Pyro growled. *i swear, Im gonna kill him.*

Taika was furious and growled with a fire in her eyes, "I'll help."

Emerald was looking out the window, not paying attention.

Pyro went over, and his face paled and went red at the same time. *look.*

Neptune was dragging Coral for all to see, but with a chain and collar on her neck. Skrelp wasnt there. Corals head was down, taking the shame like a pro. Looks like this wasnt the first time.

The three girls came over and were immediately furious.

Pyro Shifted into his Pheoni form, and his knuckles cracked the limestone. *thats not right. According to Shark, collars mean slavery. And Neptunes treating his daughter worse than a slave.*

Taika was fuming, but she didn't want Neptune to attack and hurt anyone, "No, it isn't right, but until Neptune is out of the kingdom, we will not stop him."
