Time for Control

Chapter 1: Blast From the Past

Emma's POV

I just finished unpacking from my families' trip around the world. Our year was over, and we moved back into out old home. Now was the time to surprise my best friends : Cleo and Rikki.

As I walk out my front door, and head towards the cafe; I saw the water, and decided to take the swim I had been dying to take since I landed 12 hours ago. As I ran and then dove into the water, I thought nothing could go wrong...

Charlette's POV

As I sit in the moonpool starring at my newly regrown tail, I thought nothing could be better. I could use this second chance to get back at the girls that took it away from me in the first place. Maybe I should tell them, or let them figuare it out on their own. As I sit contemplating this, I wonder what they would say. Cleo would probably freak out and say no way because I could try to get Lewis back, and Rikki would assume I would ruin the secret. Then there's Emma, who would attempt to accept me, just because I am one of them...only better...

Normal POV

As Charlette sat thinking, Emma was speeding her way to the moonpool, and an unknown surprise to her.

Rikki's POV

I was walking down the beach when I heard a familiar voice.

"Rikki!"

"What do you want, Zane?"

"I'm worried about you girls, and your secret."

"Why?"

"You know my dad's old plans to develop Mako?"

"The plans Emma, and I stopped? Yes."

"Well, you won't be able to stop it this time. It's been approved, and he is having Dr. Denman come in and do the population counts, and stuff like that to make sure it's safe."

"WHAT? Dr. Denmen's coming here? This is bad newss... what are we going to do? I have to tell the girls right now."

To the girls I sent 'urgent meeting at Mako NOW!'

Zane had continued talking but I only heard the tail end of what he said.

"... and she doesn't know about you guys so when she comes in a few days don't go all defensive when you see her and don't go swimming."

"Okay I think we know not to go swimming when she gets here, and did you say a few days?"

"Yes, she will be here in 3 days."

"Okay thanks for the warning I got to tell the girls now."

Zane's POV

As I watched Rikki run into the water, I hoped that this warning and helping her would just be the beginning, and that she would trust me again, and then we could be together again...for good.

Emma's POV

As I swim down the tunnel to the moonpool, I see a tail and instantly brighten, I wonder if it's Cleo or Rikki.

I surfaced and looked around to see the last person I expected with a tail : Charlette.

Normal POV

"Emma?"

"Charlette? How did you get your tail back? When did you get back?"

"Well, before you freak out on me, it's only been a couple of days, and I haven't ran into the others yet."

Just as Charlette said that three heads popped out of the water, and everyone starred at her like how could this be...
