Chapter 3: A Blood Test
Emily
Ji came back in a little while later.
"Emily, what happened before you were found under the docks?" Ji asked me.
"Found? Docks? What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Just what I thought. She has sudden amnesia and seems to be getting ill. I will have to figure out what happened." He said.
"Can we speak to her in private please. We need to ask her some private questions." Rikki asked.
"Sure. Maybe you can help her." Ji said. He walked away with the rest of my friends.
"Okay Em. Where did we first meet?" Rikki asked.
"An Aquamarine park. Cleo got wet. I told you about my secret which turned out to be the same secret you had." I said.
"Alright, and what secret would that be. Write it down." Emma said. She handed me a paper. I wrote down one work: Mermaid.
"Here." I said.
"Correct." Emma said.
"Why can't I remember anything other than you guys and my family?" I asked.
"We're not sure Em. But those guys in the other room you can trust." Lewis said.
"I can remember their names. It's still hazy though." I said.
"Okay, just don't tell them about the secret. If it becomes serious, we will tell them." Bella said.
"Okay." I said.
TIME SKIP!
It's been a couple of months. I can only remember Zane, Lewis, Will, Ash, Bella, Cleo, Rikki, and Emma. I can't remember anything else.
Jayden
Emily hasn't been healing. We destroyed the nighlok that caused this. Ji says something is blocking her from healing. He doesn't know what. We may have to send her to Australia to keep her safe. She has tried to escape many times because she doesn't know who we are. She seems to remember her friends though. We were sending her off tomorrow. I can't imagine the pain Serena is going through. Emily doesn't remember her.
Tonight I was in charge of watching Emily. I was bringing her dinner to her. I opened the door and sat down the tray on her lap. She readjusted herself and the water spilled. She looked up at me with horror in her eyes. Ten seconds later something appeared at the bottom of her blankets. It was orange. Her blanket got bigger, like something under it popper it up.
"Emily?" I asked staring at her legs.
"Yeah?" She asked trying to hide herself more.
"What is this?" I asked pulling up the blanket. I saw something I didn't expect. A tail. A real mermaid tail!
She didn't respond. I wouldn't either. One of her biggest secrets exposed to who she doesn't know.
"Em, listen, I won't tell anyone, but what is this?" I asked.
Her computer beeped.
"Give me." She said pointing to her computer. I nodded and handed it to her. She opened it and accepted a chat.
"Hey Emily." A familiar female voice said.
Cleo, I instantly thought,
"Hey guys. Listen, I have a problem." Emiyl said eyeing me.
"What's wrong?" Emma said.
"Jayden figured it out. I don't know what to do!" I cried out.
"Relax Em. Can we speak to him?" Bella said.
She handed me the computer. I held it, using my arm as support.
"I'm not going to tell anyone but I have to tell my friends. This is possibly what is preventing Emily from remembering her friends and family." I said.
"Lewis can take care of it. We can't let anyone know." Rikki said.
"We need to find a compromise. We believe something happened to her." I said. I looked at Emily. She looked weak.
"Like it or not I have to tell. She is getting weak." I said to them quickly showing them Emily.
"Ji!" I shouted. I set the computer down and tried to get Emily to wake up.
"Em, please, wake up!" I begged.
"JI! SOMEBODY! HELP!" I shouted out. Ji came running in. He saw her and ran out to get his medical supplies.
"Emily!" Mia shouted coming over to her.
"Emily! Wake up!" She said trying to shake her awake.
"Be careful Mia. We don't know much about her Mermaid side. Something could happen." I said.
"Hello! We can tell you everything there is to know. Like how about the fact it seems like she will be stuck like that for the night unless you dry her. And it needs to be done fast. If not, she is stuck with it for the night." Rikki said.
"Mia, towel!" I said. She grabbed a towel and we started to dry her. The tail disappeared and she started to moan.
"Emily, you're okay. Listen to my voice." I said.
"Lewis? Zane? Will? Ash?" She called out
"No Em, it's Jayden, Mike, Kevin, Mia, and Ji. Remember?" I asked.
"Get away from me! Leave me alone!" She cried out. She tried to push us away.
"Emily, it's okay. We're here." I said. She didn't calm down. Ji came in with a needle. He put it in her skin and drew some blood. He then walked away. A few minutes later he came back in.
"Something's going through her bloodstream." He stated.
I sighed.
So no updates for a little while. I am too tired to write. Bye! :p
