A/N: Hi, so this is my first fanfic. May not be as good as other fanfic story's but I hope you like it! I would very much enjoy criticism from anyone to help me improve my technique of writing! please review!

Mystery P.O.V...

We were moving to Australia, great. I am finally settled in school, made a group of friends. No fall out's just yet. My life is pretty much perfect right here in England. Oh, apart from my sworn enemy Fiona. We have pretty much hated each other from the moment I accidently spilt my orange juice on her when we were in Nursery. But other than that my life here was absolutely perfect. Only my mum could ruin it by taking it all away from me! I might never forgive her for this. If Australia is as good as she say's it is, I might forgive her. Maybe...

Flashback...

"Rebecca! Could you come down here for a moment!" The mother of the household yelled. Rebecca sludged her away down the long hall way.

"Looks like someone's in trouble!" A tall, but pretty girl sings behind a crack in a door.

"Oh go snog your boyfriend Ellie, oh wait you can't, he dumped you" Rebecca say's. Yes it was mean of her to of said so but all siblings are mean to each other, right? Rebecca works her way down the steep spiralled stairs and then towards the kitchen where her mother was cooking everyone some tea. "That smells nice, what are you making?"

"Shepherds pie with a side order of chips and sweetcorn or peas!" Rebecca's mum says with hint of pride in her voice."Oh right, Becky, I have something to tell you!"

"okay, shoot"

"Well, you know how your father has to go out of the country sometimes to sell his designs to some people"

"yes! Spit it out mum"

"As I was saying, he has actually sold his recent designs to some bloke in Australia! And this bloke has asked him if he will be there when they start the building work. Obviously your dad has said yes. Rebecca, he wants you to go with him - and before you say anything, go with him, for company, you know how lonely it is out there!"

"WHAT! Mum, why you or Ellie go, I have actually made a life here you know!"

"Yes I know but Ellie is at College and I have to look after her. Becky, do it for your father. He will appreciate it! Give it some thought Becky." Rebecca could hear the determination in her voice. This meant a lot to her, she could tell.

"Okay - but only for dad! I'm never going to forgive you for this you know!"

"You don't know how much this means for you father, Becky, you really don't! I promise you will love it there!" A glimpse of tears were making their way out of Rebecca's left eye. Not really because she's happy in any way. But because she will miss everyone. Her friends her family and believe or not Fiona!

End of flashback...

The mum's P.O.V...

Where is that girl. she's going to be late if she doesn't get her but here now. "Becky! your going to be late!" I think I might need to drill I watch or better, an alarm clock into her head.

"I'm coming mum!" I hear a stressed, young feminine voice coming from upstairs. Were all so proud of Becky for doing this for her father. Well maybe not Ellie but I certainly am. I think Ellie is more jealous than anything. But when I told their father he was thrilled. I had never seen him so happy in his life. Apart from maybe when we got married. But this means so much to him. I was clicked out of my thoughts as I heard the kitchen door open. And there was my baby girl. All grown up and mature with a polka dot suitcase in one hand and her phone in the other in which my case is that instead of packing like she was supposed to she has been texting her friends. Typical!

"Don't tell me you have been texting your friends all morning sweetie!" I'm just had to know.

"No! Of course not, I have also been on Snapchat and Instagram as well!" Becky say's in a cute innocent voice that only I can resist.

"Come on, eat your breakfast or you will miss your flight!"

Rebecca's P.O.V...

"I'm coming mum!" Only as soon as I have sent this post and... done. I just want to delay this trip as much as possible. I don't want to go! If I miss my flight then maybe I could stay here... No, that wouldn't be fair on my dad, nor my mum. They've already paid for everything. The ticket, the two bedroom house, the taxi, everything. I'm never going to forgive my mum but I suppose it won't hurt to do it for dad. And maybe anyway I will find new friends. AND Australia is apparently supposed to have amazing beaches and the waters are supposedly luxurious to look at. I can't wait to swim in the Australian sea, and swim with the fishes! Wow, I can just feel the gush of water working it's way around my body right now. Okay, maybe I should explain myself. But promise not to tell anyone... I'm a mermaid! And so is my mum but she doesn't know I know. I saw her one time in mermaid form. I accidently spilled water all over her when I was ten, and she hurried of upstairs without any explanation. So I went to investigate and what do you know, I saw the reflection of her as a mermaid in the bathroom mirror! Shortly after we went on holiday to California. And well, I went of exploring on my own because I just had a fight with my sister and I won. Okay, she won but it doesn't really make much of a difference.

Flashback...

Rebecca's P.O.V...

Argggghh, I hate my sister, why can't she just go live with our cousins in Russia. That way my life would be perfect! I just need to get away from here without my mum or dad seeing me...

Ah, the fresh air on my face. Maybe if I work my way down the beach a bit more. That's better. This way I'm secluded. Away from everyone where I can clear my head. The sand's a lot more hotter than I thought it would be, especially at... WHAT! it's 9:00! I need to make my way back! And now! If I make my way of the sand maybe I could find a shortcut.

Half an hour later...

It's got to be this way, right? Or is it this way? I'm lost, great, just what I need. I think I should just work my way forward then maybe I might come across a town or something. AHHHHHH. Ow. This has got to be the worst day of my life. Wait, where am I, in some sort of cave or something? I look back up to the whole that sucked me down here. Well that idea is blown. I can't get back up there. It's too steep. I will just have to find another way out. I look around again. That's when I see a what looks like a staircase in the corner of the cave I make my way over the stairs and use the strength I have got and use it to work my way up the stairs. As I turn the corner there's a, pool? in a cave? Or more possibly a volcano. I sure hope it's dormant. Tidal rings! Yes! That means this pool leads out to the sea and then I can get out of this musty, dark space in the ground. I jump in the pool at the exact time as the full moon appears over head. My Body tinkles as gold, yellow bubbles float up from my body and up through the cone of the volcano. Well... that was weird. I duck under water and swim out of the cave...

End of flashback...

So yeah, I'm a mermaid. But I still haven't found out where my mum got changed...

I was marching my way downstairs before you could say jelly fish I was that hungry. I appear in the kitchen door way still half asleep texting my friends that I'm going to miss them so much and what not.

"Don't tell me you have been texting your friends all morning sweetie!"

"No! Of course not, I have also been on Snapchat and Instagram as well!" I say in my bullet proof fake innocent voice that only my mother can resist.

"Come one, eat your breakfast or you will miss your flight!" My mum finished a conversation with that.
