Chapter 1
Rikki POV
Bella, Cleo, and I were walking down the beach like we always do every morning. We were getting ready to take our daily swim. We had walked far enough down the beach to where no one was so that no one would see us transform. Cleo was talking to her dad on the phone so I was just practicing my heating skills on a nearby water hole.
"Yes dad….dad I'm just at the beach…..No I don't want to go to Sea World…..Ok….Love you too. Bye." Said Cleo hanging up the phone.
"Now that your done with your personal life I'm going for a swim." I said to her.
"Wait!" Said Bella grabbing my arm before I hit the water.
"What?" I asked her.
"Look!" She said pointing out towards the water. About 200 yards out there was something popping it fin out of the water. It was too big to be a dolphin but it didn't look like a shark.
"What is it?" I asked them. Just then it jumped out of the water and we saw an Orca Whale.
"Wow!" Said Cleo in awe of the huge whale. After the one hit the water we saw many more fins and tails come out of the water. Overall we counted 8 whales. I started to walk towards the water again but Bella stopped me once more.
"What now?" I asked her.
"We can't go out there." She said.
"Why not?" I asked her
"Because, killer whales kill sea lions and sharks and big fish, what's the difference between a big fish and a mermaid? Nothing. We will get hurt." Bella said.
"Bella is right Rikki, we shouldn't go out there. It's dangerous." Said Cleo.
"What? So we are just gonna give up swimming from now on? Because of a couple whales? We are mermaids, we are meant to be in the ocean." I said.
"Yes and so are whales and they are 10 times bigger than us. Let's just let them pass and then we will swim tomorrow." Bella said walking away. Cleo nodded her head and they both walked away. I however stayed on the beach and sat down. I just looked out at the whales swimming by. I wish I knew if they would hurt us I thought to myself. Then an idea popped into my head. I should just ask them. You may be asking me how I can ask them but the truth is I discovered a new power of mine, I can talk to fish, dolphins, any marine life. I just wish I could get close enough to ask them. I hadn't told Bella or Cleo about this because they would think I'm crazy. But I discovered it when I was swimming with the dolphins out in the water. I came up to the surface and so did he. Then he made a dolphin squeak but to me he talked to me.
I bet everyone reading this thinks I'm crazy but, I am not. Think about it. If a fish can communicate with a fish then a mermaid should be able to communicate with fish too. So that's my secondary power. I love talking to the fish because it's like I have millions of friends and I know they will keep my secret safe.
Anyway back to the whales, I just wish I could get close enough to ask them. I have to be right next to them to talk to them though. Then another idea popped into my head. I quickly got up leaving my shoes on the beach and running after Cleo and Bella.
"Cleo!" I yelled running after them. They both turned around and looked at me.
"What's up?" She said.
"I want to go to Sea World with you today." I lied. I really just wanted to go so I could talk to Shamu, their killer whale.
"Rikki, I don't think that's the best idea, I mean there is lots of water there and water isn't good for….us." Bella said.
"Why do you want go anyway?" Cleo asked me.
"I think it would be…fun." I lied. "Please, I'll be very careful. I really want to go." I said. Bella and Cleo looked at each other and at the same time they both responded,
"Fine." They said. We kept walking and now I just had to think of a plan to get close enough to talk to Shamu.
