Dripping, leaking, Bleeding.
She didn't know why she had done it; but when she saw the pink razor she pulled it across her skin.
It started dripping out red. What was this called again? She couldn't remember the word for it.
It had hurt at first. She swore to herself that it was stupid and that she would never do it again.
Later though she realized she had actually enjoyed the hurt, the pain. She quickly became addicted to it.
Whenever she was alone cut after cut appeared on her skin and began dripping blood. She covered it up with long clothing; somwhow knowing that if anyone knew about this that they'd make her stop.
She never went swimming anymore with Nixie or Sirena. Not taking the chance that her cuts would appear when she turned into a mermaid.
That's how she ended up where she was now. She was lying on the floor in Rita's bathroom covered in her own blood with cuts covering her arms and legs.
She was found by Sirena and Nixie.
Sirena immediately started crying.
Nixie then ordered her to get Rita.
Rita came in seeing Lyla covered in blood and the abandoned pink razor on the floor beside her. She quickly put two and two together. She ran to the phone.
She immediately called 911 ;but the ambulance wouldn't be able to be there for a half hour at the most.
Rita then dialed Dr. Blakely's number and explained the situation to him tearfully and he promised he would be there within ten minutes.
"Dad what's going on?" Zac asked him as his father got up from the dinner table and quickly grabbed his bag and any other medical supplies that he could possible need to help the teenage girl.
"I have to go." He responded.
"Why?" His wife asked.
The next words he said brought Zac's world crashing down.
"Lyla's dying." He told them, "Ms. Santos, other two neices found her covered in her blood with a razor next to her."
Zac knew what that meant. Lyla had purposely hurt herself. She had cut herself, self harmed.
"I'm coming with you." He said.
Back at Rita's...
"We need to get her washed off." Rita said.
The girls took off her clothes and laid her in the bottom of the shower rinsing off most of the blood before she changed into Mermaid form. They then dried her off with towels; her tail disappearing.
Dr. Blakely left in a rush and made it to Rita's house within 6 minutes of her call.
He rushed inside and went to work quickly bandaging Lyla up as best he could until the ambulance got there. Rita got a dark blue bathrobe and wrapped it around Lyla after getting her some underwear on underneath.
Zac was watching everything shocked. Lyla looked so pale, so lifeless.
She was then loaded into the ambulance about 20 minutes later with Rita, Nixie, and Sirena riding with her in the back.
Zac was watching the whole encounter stunned. He couldn't believe that Lyla would do this. Zac followed the ambulance to the hospital with his dad.
