He didn't know what to do. They hated him…she hated him….
Cam was walking down the shore as he thought about some past events. That time he betrayed them for the power of the trident. He turned his back on Nixie, Evie, and the others, just so he can rule the seas. So he can become the most powerful being in the world.
'Nixie…' He thought to himself.
He remembered the hurt look on her face that night. He remembered the anger and sadness in her eyes. She wanted to slap him right across the face, but she didn't Cam wanted so badly to see her again, just so he can apologize. The others wouldn't let him anywhere near her anymore. Poor Cam never got the chance.
His thoughts were interrupted when he saw a figure lying on the beach, by the shore. He could see a tail. At first Cam thought it was a dolphin, but the tail was an orange color. He then grew nervous. Cam began to run over, and the features became clearer.
It was a female. Definitely a mermaid. Then the familiar shade of black hair caught his attention. It was Nixie! She was still in her mermaid form, but unconscious.
"Nixie!" Cam immediately ran closer. He dropped down next to her and hugged her closely, laying her head on his chest. "No...No...What happened?!"
He carefully tapped her cheek to try and get her to wake. Still no avail. He looked down to where he found her. By the marks on the sand, it was clear that she struggled to drag herself to shore. Nixie was covered in many scars, and a few bruises.
Cam quickly took off the sweater he was wearing, and wrapped it around her. Within moments she was dry enough to return to her human form. He still didn't know what to do though.
"Nixie...wake up, please." He begged as he shook her a little.
Finally, her eyes opened, but only a little. She immediately sat up with a gasp, but clutched her stomach when she did so.
"Nixie." Cam breathed a sigh of relief, which made her jump.
Nixie looked up in surprise. "C-cam?"
"Yes it's me! What happened to you?" He asked in concern while checking her wounds.
"W-what do you…" She looked down and gasped once again. "Oh no…"
Nixie laid back into his arms again as she took a deep breath. "Something attacked me..." She whispered. "B-but I don't know what…"
"We better go talk to Rita…" Cam said as she lifted her up.
"Hey...put me down. I can walk myself." She muttered as she tried to wriggle out of his grasp, but his arms were wrapped around her. She winced in pain as she felt a slight sting.
"Doesn't look like it." Cam couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hey! What's…ugh...so funny?" Nixie gave him a glare as she winced again.
"Nothing...let's just go get help." Cam shook it off. He jumped a little when he felt her just relax in his arm. Perhaps she still did trust him. Even just a little.
Stay tuned for more. Hope you like the storyline so far.
