Hey sorry for such a long wait, I had a local fashion show and photo shoot that I was in so I was a little busy! My spring break starts tomorrow so I will *hopefully* be able to update a ton! Once again thank you to whoever is still reading this story! And thank you to anyone who read and reviewed (and just a heads up I might be doing anther story if you have any ideas that you would like to see on so please let me know!)

~Flashback~

Rikki's point of view

Everyone else saw him as a threat, I saw him as protection. Protection from the outer world, from the world where I felt Zane and the girls slowly pulling themselves away from me. I watched as Zane became something else, it wasn't him. It wasn't the old him and it wasn't the new him. I felt so lost. Will thought that he was helping me, but he wasn't. He and Bella belonged together, but I felt as if I was being forced to be more than friends with him. And I didn't want that. Emma was gone and Cleo was so upset about Lewis leaving that I felt so lost.

And I didn't like that feeling at all.

Maybe I should call someone, one of my old friends?

No, all they see me as is a raped little piece of trash, but that's all I am to them. That's all they see me as now, that's what I had become right before I left. After I was sent away I felt the need for protection, protection from people such as my ex.

And Zane was that protection.

When the girls and I became mermaids it hadn't been an accident.

I knew Louise, and she had asked me to do that for her.

She said that I had to destroy the moon pool. And I was the only one who could do it . . .

Because I am the moon pool.

I felt bad after it was destroyed, but I wasn't mad at Zane for it, he did what I couldn't do after I became a mermaid. Because I became attached to it.

But he destroyed me, but he then rebuilt me. Saving me from the death that the moon pool had suffered, but if I was the moon pool, and I'm being rebuilt . . .

Than the moon pool is also being rebuilt.

Sorry for such a short and boring chapter I just felt so bad forgot updating sooner so I will be sure to show you more of the plot line soon!

*Bella and Will, Cleo and Lewis, Emma and Ash, Rikki and Zane will all remain or become a couple in this story! DO NOT WORRY!*
