Chapter 1: Sara Kentley's secret
I walked home with my friends, it was my last day of school with them. We where all silent. I was leaving my home in Galveston Texas where I had lived with my mom for so long and known my two best friends, Molly and Stella since kindergarten. I loved them like sisters. We also shared a secret that made our bond even stronger. It happened last summer. We all wanted to have the best summer of our lives….. Who would have thought we would have exactly that. I loved to swim and so did Stella but Molly was a little scared. So Stella and I told her she wouldn't have to, that we just wanted to go on a boat ride. We lied. We had promised ourselves that we would help her get over her fear that summer. We rented a little boat and rode out to our favorite island. Stella and I had been there a million times before but this was the first time we could get Molly to go with us. When Stella and I would come we would just stay on the beach. We never really explored the island before. During the short ride there Molly was pretty nervous. She was so glad when we reached the island. Stella and I pulled the boat high onto the beach, sand getting in our shoes. Molly ran as far up the beach as she could before she got to the woods. She stopped and starred for a second then stared running again. I yelled stop but she just kept going. We ran after her as fast as we could but couldn't ketch her. Molly wasn't normally that fast but when she was scarred man she could run. We chased her through the woods until we came to a clearing.
There was a beautiful little waterfall with stone all around it. Stella and I starred at it and couldn't believe there was a waterfall in the middle of the woods. I could tell Molly was also in awe or just in shock because she stopped running and starred at the waterfall to. She started to walk slowly towards the waterfall when she slipped and fell down a hole. We heard her scream and ran to the hole. I had never seen anything like it before. It was like a slide into a cave. I yelled down the hole and asked Molly if she was okay. She said yes but she couldn't get out. So Stella and I slid down the hole after her. I was curious what was down there anyway.
We got up and walked through the cave and we came to a small little pool with an round opening above it. It was to high up to try and clime out. It looked like we where stuck so Stella said we might as well have fun and swim in the pool. I agreed but Molly got a really scared look on her face and sat in a corner of the cave. I walked over to her and sat next to her, Stella on the other side. We tried to calm her down. I told her there was nothing to be scared of and Stella agreed. To prove it she got in the pool. She went under the water for a few seconds then came back up. "See" I said, "you have nothing to be afraid of". "Hey I think there is a way out down here" Stella said. "We just have to swim through here and we will be out in the ocean". "Then we can swim to the beach". "Come on Molly" I said, "it's the only way out". I stood up and pulled her to her feet. We walked to the edge of the pool and without warning I jumped in while holding her hand and pulled her in to. When we came to the top of the water she looked at me angrily. "Why did you do that"?! she said. "Because you never would have gotten in if I didn't".
Before she could say something else the water started bubbling but it wasn't even hot. I looked up and saw the moon moving overhead. "Look at the moon" I said. Stella and Molly looked up. We all looked at the moon for a few seconds until it passed over and was gone. "That was weird" I said. "Lets just get out of here" Molly said. "Okay" Stella said, "follow me". Stella went under the water and I had Molly go next so if she got stuck or something I could help her get through. When we made it to the other side we swam to the beach. Stella was glad to be on dry land. But we had to get right in the boat and leave because Stella and Molly's parents wanted them home before dark and it had been dark for a while. My mother never cared but there parents sure did.
The next day our lives changed.
I got up to get ready for school and as always I took a shower first. I turned on the water and stepped in the shower. Like ten seconds later I felt really wobbly and fell. Good thing it was a shower/bathtub. I laid on my stomach and turned around to see what just happened. I couldn't believe my eyes. Where my legs were supposed to be was a big orange tail!!! When I talked to my friends about it after school I found out the same thing happened to them. We also found out that we had these weird powers over water. It was crazy but at the same time the best thing that ever happened to us.
It only happened a few months ago and now I was having to move to Australia! Away from my friends because my mom wanted a fresh start after the hurricane. She had lost her job and thought now was a good time. It didn't make since to me why she wanted to move from one beach to another but at least that was good. Its bad enough having to leave my best friends, I don't know what I would do if I couldn't swim anymore. Of coarse I haven't told her I'm a mermaid so she doesn't completely understand why I don't want to go. She just thought I was going through a teenage phase. She said I was going to love it there and make new friends. I guess I'm about to find out, our plane lands in half an hour.
