Hey this is my first fanfiction story ever and if I get some stuff wrong, don't judge me on that. This story starts off kind of weird at first but it'll get better, I'm sure of that. The whole story is pretty much from Bella's POV, so here's chapter one. (I uploaded this story earlier but I had to make some changes to it.)
Bella's POV
It's the best feeling in the world. You know, the feeling where you can just escape all of life's problems by jumping into a whole other world under the sea. Well, maybe you don't understand. At least my friends do. Me, Cleo, and Rikki are all mermaids. I met them only a year ago and we are already as close as friends can be. I've been a mermaid since I was nine years old. I mean, I've spent practically half of my life in the water! I don't even remember what it's like to take a normal shower! Oh well, I guess it is what it is. At least Cleo and Rikki understand, and Will does too. Will's my boyfriend, and one of the closest people I have in my life. Will and I tell each other everything. Will's a diver, and he and I love to go swimming all the time, just like today, I thought as Will and I got everything ready for the day.
Will and I had planned out the whole afternoon for just the two of us and the deep, blue sea. But I just couldn't help sensing that there was something wrong, something not right about tonight. Oh well, it's probably nothing.
"You ready Bella?" Will asked me.
"Yep," I replied, climbing into his boat. I was wearing a neon pink, two piece bikini with white flower designs on them and he had on a grey T-shirt and dark blue swim trunks. Will started up the boat and soon enough we were off. It felt just like a perfect, warm day as the bright sun shone on my face and the warm breeze blew through my hair. I smiled, loving that school was over and I was going to college soon. Will turned around and gave me a smile that made my heart melt. Since I turned 19 I've realized that Will and I have got a lot closer than when we first started dating! You know, I might even be in love! No, that's crazy! You just turned 19! Oh stop talking to yourself Bella!
Will inturrupted my thoughts and said, "We're here Bella," as he anchored his boat near the shores of the mysterious Mako Island.
He looked at me and said "After you." I smiled back and dove into the crystal blue water. As soon as I hit the water I instantly felt free, like all of my problems were just gone. I felt the familiar tingling feeling where my legs are and they suddenly disappeared, leaving behind my beautiful orange, scaly mermaid tail and bikini top. I smiled and swam forward, waiting for Will to join me. About 5 seconds later he jumped in with his shirt now off and with goggles covering his eyes and flippers on his feet. He smiled at me and held my hand and we started swimming.
We spent hours swimming around the beautiful, colorful coral reefs and tropical fish. Will and I were both showing off to each other about how many flips we could do or how long we could hold our breaths underwater. I won that one by about 15 minutes! Will looked pretty shocked, and I made a face that said "Ha, Ha!" He grinned at me and pulled me in for an underwater kiss. It felt like sparks were flying as we kissed, and my heart soared. Ahhh, he's so awesome.
After that, we both went to the surface for air and then headed for the moon pool. As I surfaced the moon pool, I still had that feeling that something wasn't right. The air in the moon pool was different too. It felt very humid and hot, and hard to breathe.
Will could tell something was wrong too and asked, "What's wrong?"
I said, "I don't know, it just feels like something's changed in here, like just before the comet was going to hit. Can't you feel it too?"
"Yeah," he replied. "Well it can't be another comet, can it?" I said.
Will said, "I don't know, Bella. Let's not worry about now, we can do that later."
"Yeah, I guess," I said, still sensing that something was going to happen.
After I dried off and I was in my bikini again, Will and I spent at least two hours goofing off and fooling around. We were laughing, showing each other these stupid dances we made up and we were making silly noises and other random stuff. He even asked me to show him my power! So I started smirking and making the water in the moon pool turn again and again into jelly and hardening it and turning it back into water. Will was just completely amazed! I was actually kind of flattered that someone liked my power, because I always thought it was kind of pointless, but Will really loved it.
Then it dawned on me. It hit me like a bullet. It was a FULL MOON! How could I have forgot? Cleo, Rikki, and Lewis had warned me over and over again! I started panicking and breathing in and out really fast over and over.
Then I shouted "WILL!" really loud.
"What?" he yelled back, startled and surprised.
"IT'S A FULL MOON and it's dark out so I'm pretty sure the moon is almost overhead the island!" I screamed back at him.
"WHAT?" he yelled back, his eyes going wide with shock.
"We gotta get out of here!" I screamed again. Just as we were about to run out of there, the full moon came over the moon pool and this blinding blue light the color of my blue crystal comes down and was so bright, it caused us to fall down. Next thing I know Will and I are yelling and something grabs us and throws us into the moon pool. I feel myself bobbing up and down in the water trying to stay afloat but then I realize something, why aren't I turning into a mermaid? I still have legs in the water!
Everywhere I look is the same glowing blue I saw before, that's all I can see. I hear Will trying to stay above the water too and he's yelling to me "Bella!"
I yell out "Will!" right before I feel this strong force pushing me forward. Right about now I'm freaking out and I don't know what's going on and then suddenly I feel Will. Apparently he's being pushed forward towards me too. Then we're literally colliding with each other! My breasts are smashing right into his chest and we're getting so close that it's starting to hurt! As we're crashing into each other I can make out Will's face. He's looking at me with frightened and worried eyes with water dripping down his face. I give him the same look and he notices that I haven't turned into a mermaid.
Finally, after two minutes, it all ends. Just like that. The blue light that was surrounding us seemed to some how explode, sending me and Will out of the moon pool and on to the sand. My breasts still hurt really bad and Will and I were breathing heavely and before I know it, I fall asleep.
I warned you it'd start off pretty weird, but please give this story a chance and it will get better. Oh, and don't forget to review and tell me how I'm doing! ;)
