The mermaid and the vampire
I was sitting on my bed listening to my favorite song from the states when my dad came in. "Hey dad," I greeted pausing the song. "Hey, remember when I said I might get promoted?" he asked me. "Yeah why?" I asked.
"I got the promotion," he told me. "Dad that's great," I said hugging him. "But it's in the states," he told me. "What?" I asked confused. "The job is in forks Washington," he told me.
"But that's the rainiest place in the states, you know I hate rain," I whined. "I'm sorry honey but we have to go," he told me. "Why can't I stay with Cleo?" I asked him.
"Because there bills are tight enough I wouldn't want to burden them," he told me. "Please I'll get a job and pay for stuff myself," I replied.
"No we are moving tomorrow and that's final!" he said sternly. "You'll have to drag me kicking and screaming," I said crossing my arms. He sighed, "Don't think I won't," he grumbled and left.
I really do want to go to forks I've always wanted to go to the states but there is too much rain. Now rain wouldn't be a problem for a normal person but I'm not a normal person. I'm a mermaid.
Mermaids get powers as well, they can't sleep at all, and they grow tails when they get wet.
I got out my cell-phone and dialed Cleo's number. "Hello?" answered Cleo. "Hey meet me in the moon pool stat and bring Emma and rikki too," I told her.
"Why is it an emergency?" she asked. "You could say that," I answered. "Ok we'll be there in ten minutes," Cleo said. "Thanks," I said and hung up.
I crept out my window. I ran full speed to the beach; the speed mermaid run full speed would look like a blur to humans.
When I got the beach I looked over my shoulder and dived into the water.
I sighed as my tail formed, the thing I loved about being a mermaid that was how ever bad things are when you go swimming things seem a little bit better.
With that I sped off towards mako at full speed. I got there in five minutes flat. Cleo, Emma, and rikki were all there sitting on the ledge. "So?" they asked expectantly. "Guys I have to tell you something," I said sadly. "What's wrong?" Cleo asked me.
"I'm moving tomorrow," I said starting to cry. "Why didn't you tell us earlier?" rikki asked sternly. "My stupid dad waited till the last minute to tell me," I said trying to stop crying. "Why couldn't you just stay with me?" Cleo asked me. "My father said he didn't want to burden your dad," I told her.
"Where are you moving to?" Emma asked. "Forks Washington," I told them. "As in the states?" they asked surprised. I nodded. "But that's the wettest place in the U.S.," Cleo said worried. "I know," I sighed.
"Just don't tell anyone, we won't be there to save your butt," rikki told me. "Don't worry I'm not that stupid," I told her. She rolled her eyes in disbelief.
"Alright don't forget to swim round every now and then," Cleo told me. "Don't worry I will," I replied. "Any way let's take a swim to get our mind off it," rikki said. We nodded. We dived underwater and headed to the reef where we played with dolphins and looked at fish for an hour.
Then after saying our goodbyes I swam back to the mainland where I cried all night, this was one of the times I wish I could sleep. The next morning my dad came in before I could fake sleep.
"Hey you're up early," he smiled. "Just thinking," I told him. "About what?" he asked me. "Cleo, Rikki, and Emma," I told him. "I'm sorry sweet heart," he told me. I just sighed. "Go get ready we leave in an hour," he told me.
I nodded and he left the room. I got up and took a bath enjoying my mermaidness. Then I picked out a blue long sleeve shirt and some jeans.
Next I straightened my hair and did my makeup. Then I grabbed my phone and went downstairs. My dad was waiting for me downstairs. "You ready?" he asked me. "As ready as I'll ever be," I sighed. "It'll be ok bells," he told me. "I hope you're right," I told him. Then we got in the car. The ride was quite and short.
Once at the airport we passed through security fine. After that we bought coffee and waited for our plain to board. After ten minutes our plain started to board. The plane ride was painfully boring. Finally we landed and got our carryon luggage.
"Hey dad, why are we traveling so light?" I asked him. "Because this new job pays really well so I have the money to just buy new things," he answered. I nodded. My dad called a cab and brought me to our new house. It was huge it could probably hold ten more people. There was even a pool in the back yard. There was another house next door to ours that was slightly bigger.
My room had a canopy bed with a glass night stand, and a big desk at one end of the room. The kitchen was awesome; well the entire house was awesome.
My dad was in the living room. "Wow I love it," I told him. "Thanks," he smiled. "So do we have enough money to be millionaires?" I asked. "Yep," he answered. "Then can I get a new imac?" I asked him. "Sure I'll pick it up after work," he told me.
I smiled and nodded.
