Jared
"Did you know this is one of the deepest lakes in this part of the country?"
"No, so why are we swimming in it if its so deep?" She looked shocked and a little frightened.
"Because you are with two great swimmers." at that Nazela, a young Nixie popped out of the center of the lake and started to swim over to us.
"Who is that? And is she a Nixie?"
"Very good, and that is Nazela, she is a friend who recently crossed over to the human realm. She lives in this lake because of the tunnels under the water." At her worried look I decided I should tell her: "Don't worry there are air pockets in the tunnels much like the ones in the fey realm."
As Naz came closer she began talking "Hi Mina, Jared has told me quite a bit about you, you might say he talked my ear off. Anyways he asked if I would show you two the tunnels since I know them best; don't worry though, after a while I'll let you two have fun on your own." at that she swam out to the middle of the lake and waited for us.
"I can see why she is a good swimmer, but how are you good swimmer?" I cant believe she had to asked that, and just to spite her I jumped into the water and came back up with the same green hew to my skin as Naz.
"Remember? I can shift into any mythical creature, it makes things like swimming easier."
"Oh" and at that I grabbed Minas hand and pulled her into the water.
"Take a deep breath"
Mina
Down we went, going deeper and deeper till I couldn't see yet it felt like we were going really fast, before I knew it Jared was bringing me up for air in a tunnel. "Do you like them?" I looked up to see what he was talking about and realized the room was full of white fire-lanterns set apart with red satin drapes.
Pulling myself out of the water I circled the room a few times "Its beautiful" the lights set in front of the drapes made the place look magical "How did you…?"
"Waterproof bags and about a week of work, I wanted to make a place for you that you can escape from when times get too rough." In the corner of the room there was a large rug with pillows and blankets.
Curiously I walked to the pillows and sat on one, it was very soft and I could feel all of the stress from the past months fall off my shoulders. "I love it, thank you" The lights were so warm that they were almost hypnotic. I could hear Jared chuckle as I fell asleep
When I awoke I could hear a beautiful sound, it sounded like a lullaby but I've never heard this one. For fear of it stopping I stayed still and just listened, I could tell it was a man singing and it was making me sad. "Thats a beautiful song" Jared jurned and looked at me, looking stunned.
"I didn't think you would ever wake up"
"Was that you singing?"
"Um-yah… Its a song my mother taught me"
"Would you sing it again? For me?"
"Maybe next time we come, anyways we need to head back up, are you ready?"
"Ya I guess" I got up and walked over to the hole in the ground, Jared grabbed me by my waist and jumped into the water. Swimming back up seemed to take less time than going down. "Thank you for that, I love it down there"
"Lets get going, you slept for 9 hours and should be home already." The drive home was spent in comfortable silence while I thought about that beautiful voice.
"Thank you again, I enjoyed today"
"You're very welcome, I hope you want to doing again because I also enjoyed today"
"You can go without me you know?"
"I know but its not the same."
"Oh. Well thank you again" I got out and walked to the door of the mansion, walking past mom mumbling something about being tired. I walked into my room, fell on my bed and thought about all the cryptic things Jared said today.
