Sorry that I deleted the chapter, it was because I notice that I forgot Bella and Will so I had to edit the chapter. So here is the new chapter 3.

Chapter 3: Explanations

After what Lewis had asked it had been utter chaos, everyone was shouting until a glimmering shape appeared through the water entrance to the Moon pool, as her head popped out from the water she gasped, she certainly did not expect to see eight people standing before her. But she acted as if everything was normal and she heaved herself up onto the black rock surrounding the water, her shark tail glimmering in the light.

Rikki's POV

As she lifted herself onto the stone of the Moon pool I noticed her tail, It looked like a shark, it was grey all over and had fins on the side of it, her eyes were grey and all of her hair was grey, but not an old person grey, just grey, she looked so plain but so beautiful and happy at the same time.

'H-hello' she stuttered.

'Who are you?' we all asked at the same time, but only I carried on the sentence 'how did you get your tail?'

She took a deep calming breath and explained. 'I'm Crystal Way and I transformed into a mermaid when I was 16, it was an Eclipse and me and my family were camping here for the night when I said that I was going exploring. My parents agreed and I wandered off, I came across a lake and some stones but when I tried to cross the stoned I fell down the tunnel, I saw no other way out so I walked up the stone stairs and found this pool, I thought that the water was coming from the ocean so when I jumped into the pool I dunked under the water and saw a few fish swimming outside, the only reason I could see them was because they were so bright. I then came up for air and then the Eclipse happened and this pool started to bubble and little golden balls lifted into the air, but it stopped all of a sudden and I thought after floating around for a while that my parents would be looking for me so I swam back to shore and found my family, when they asked me why I was so wet I told them that I fell into the sea when I got lost but I swam back to shore. They dried me off and we went to bed. The next morning my family were all cooking breakfast and they told me that I could look around while they packed up. I found the entrance to the Moon pool and I jumped straight into the water but after about ten seconds I transformed, I have always had this type of tail and when I went swimming after the Moon pool I swam with the sharks, they seemed to understand me in a way that no one else did and I found out that I could communicate with them, and even better they could communicate back, I also found that I could heal any shark that was injured. I swam back towards the camp and dried myself off behind some rocks, but when I got to camp my parents came rushing up to me, asking me where I had been. I had been gone for hours but I just said that I lost track of time. They were concerned for me, they asked if I was ok; I knew that I couldn't tell them about what had happened to me because they wouldn't think that it was a great thing that had happened to me , they would have sent me to a doctor to be examined. I never told anyone that secret.' She was almost crying when she finished her story, as was everyone else.

'So; I guess you are going to scream and run now?' she asked in the silence. They all shook their heads at once. 'Why not?' She asked confused.

'Because, we're mermaids to.' Replied Rikki.

'WHAT?' Crystal almost screamed, a look of relief filled her face.' Oh thank God, I thought I was the only one.' She lifted herself out of the pool and Rikki dried her, Crystal stared at Rikki in amazement. 'That's your power? To heat things?' when Rikki nodded she actually screamed 'WHAT? THAT IS SO COOL! So what are your powers guys?'

'I turn things into ice' said Emma.

'And I can do anything I want with water' Added Cleo.

'And I can turn liquids into something like jelly.' Bella said softly.

'And what about you guys?' asked Crystal gesturing to Lewis, Zane, Will and Ash. They shot the girls a sheepish look.

'Um, we don't know yet; we're new to being merman. We were actually only turned last night.' Piped in Ash. Crystal nodded her head in understanding.

'So we are back to the question; what happened?' Asked Zane.

'Well it seems that whenever there is a special type of full moon then you get a special type of tail.' Lewis interjected.

'Yup I guess so...' Cleo trailed off.

'I guess I'm gunna go now.' I said quietly.

'You don't have to leave because we're here.' Bella said.

'Yup 'cause your one of us now.' Said Emma, and everyone pulled Crystal into a hug.
