Zac, brother of Mimmi
A/N: This is a quick two shot. First fic, so feedback is highly appreciated.
Mimmi's POV
I sit on the beach at mako, looking out at the water. Zac's words from this morning "I don't want anything to do with you!", bounce around my head. As I remember the anger and hatred in his eyes when he said it, the last thing I saw before I ran out off the grotto, a single tear rolls down my cheek. I had a sliver of hope when I found out I had family, but I guess it was in vain.
More tears roll down my tan cheeks as I remember all the sadness that has come to me because of the word 'family'. I had no one for so long, that when I found out that the void could be filled, I jumped at the chance. Although Zac made it blatantly obvious that he feels differently.
More and more tears fall and I let out a choked sob. I bury my face in my knees and cover my head with my shaking arms. Sooner or later I fall asleep.
Zac's POV
"I don't want anything to do with you!" As soon as the words leave my mouth I see tears in Mimmi's eyes. She backs away from me, runs out, and not long after I can hear the splash that indicates she's swum off. "Zac-" "I'm going home."I cut Evie off and quickly rush home.
(End of flashback)
It's been three days since then, and I have elected to ignore the whole situation. It's been three days since anyone has seen Mimmi, and I find that I am rather grateful. I've pretty much stayed in my bungalow since that moment, and so I haven't seen any of the other tails either, including Evie.
I'm sitting on my own in the bungalow when I hear a knock at my door.
A small, pale skinned, brown haired figure is standing in the doorway. Mimmi looks terrible, it's clear she's been crying a lot since I last saw her, and it takes all my self control not to hug her right there and then.
"What do you want?" I say, harsher than I meant to and she visibly shrinks back. I quickly pull her inside before my mother sees her.
" I thought that maybe we could go for a swim?" She asks. Her voice matches her appearance, but there is a hint of hope. "I'm not in the mood." I say dismissively. She looks impossibly sadder and her eyes dart down to the floor.
Mimmi's POV
I'm already almost crying, but I still continue to talk. "I get that this is is hard for you, but you have to understand that it's hard for me too. I've never had any family-" "And you don't have any now." He says forcefully. " I am not your brother. I don't care what you, or Rita or any crazed pod leader says, you need to get that I am not interested in playing your long lost brother!" Ge gradually gets louder, and as he steps forward, I step back and hit the table behind me.
A fat tear drops onto my cheek, and I force a sob to silence. Then, out of nowhere, I get a surge of anger. "Fine, I get it. You stay out of my life, and I stay out of yours!" I shout. I walk toward the door. "Mimmi, wait." it's not an urgent call, and for some reason that fact rubs me the wrong way. "Leave me alone, merman." I say, venom dripping from my tongue. I walk out and jump off the pier.
I swim for a little while until I find a nice soft sponge and coral reef to sit and think. All of a sudden something rock solid hits me on the back of my head, hard, and everything goes black.
Zac's POV
After Mimmi dives off the pier, I sigh and sit down. What if it is true, and I am her...that she's my...that were...? I contemplate and think for a long time.
After about two hours I feel like I need to clear my head, so I head off into the ocean. I don't realize my destination until I reach the small coral reef on the outskirts of the mako ridge. I swim around for a while, relaxed, until I spot som brown hair floating a short distance away. I swim to the surface.
"Mimmi, I thought we agreed-" I start ranting, only to realize that she didn't come up with me. I frown and swim back down. She hasn't moved, so I swim over to find her unconscious.
A/N: and there's the first chapter! This is my first fic, so some feedback would really help me. Next chapter will be out soon.
