Eric's POV.
"No, she's dead." I thought when I heard Athena scream. It's my fault. I ran to her side. Her body was mangled. Her left leg twisted in a not possible way. Her arms layed limply at her side. Blood covered her body and dyed her hair. Her icy-blue eyes were squinted and dull. I didn't know what to do. I checked her pulse. Alive, but very slow. Too slow. I started mouth to mouth, and after a while I picked her up and carried to palace. I heard Ariel's screams and tears, and Harmony's silinet prayers. I placed her on her bed. Dr. Frank arrived no more than a minute later. He took her to a different room. It was bleach white and sterile.
"Is she going to live?" I asked him
"Yes, but she broke her leg, and she hit her head. She'll need surgery." The Dr. Frank said
"Any thing to save her. She means the world to Ariel and I." I said. Next thing I knew, Athena was rolled out of the room and tears streaked my face.
3 hours later, Dr. Frank came out of the O.R. Melody, Harmony, Ariel and I jumped up from our seats.
"Athena will be fine. She'll have a cast for 3 months and she'll be on crutches. We inserted a rod in her leg to make sure it doesn't twist. Her head injury is bandaged up." He said
"Oh, thank god." Ariel said tears coming down her face.
"You can see her in an hour when she wakes up." Dr. Frank said "But be gentle with her. Remember how she got into this."
We sat back down and watched them roll Athena down the hall. For the next hour, Ariel slept on my shoulder, Harmony did Melody's hair and Melody did Harmony's hair. Finally a nurse said we could see Athena. I shook Ariel awake and walked down the hallway to Athena's room. It was next to Melody's room and across from Harmony's. The girl's rooms were made for them when they were little. Melody's is pink, Harmony's is blue, and Athena's is green. Athena had the best room since she was oldest, Melody was in the middle, and Harmony was the youngest. When they were little only a month old, Athena and Harmony disappeared. We were devastated but we knew they would come back cause we were told so the day they were born that two of them would disappear.
When I got to the room Ariel opened the door just a little and snuck in. "Stay here." I told the girls and followed suit. Ariel and I walked to the bed. I looked down and saw a beautiful little girl lying there. The blood had been washed out of her hair and her skin was rubbed raw. Her icy-blue eye were open.
Katie's POV
I looked up at Ariel, and Eric. They smiled down at me.
"Athena." Ariel said.
"Katie. Call me Katie." I croaked out.
"Okay Katie." Eric said
"Przez ogromny świat
Przez beskresne niebo
W dzień i w noc
Płyną z głębiny
Aż do gwiazd
Piękne wspomnienia
Ciche marzenia
Tak jak sny
Jak szum fal" Ariel sang.
"That's beautiful. I wish I could show you my talent." I said.
"What's your talent?" Eric asked
"Dance." I said. "I dance."
"I'm sorry, you can't show us. We'll just have to wait." Eric said.
"Can you sing?" Ariel asked running her hands through my hair.
"No." I said my mood instantly changing from good to terrible. I hate it when people ask me if I can sing. I can't but people always ask me to.
"Try." Ariel urged.
"No." I said. "Get the hell out of here, and my life. Just send in Emma, with Princess."
"I will not be spoken to like that." Ariel said sharply.
"Just send her in." I yelled.
"Fine." Ariel said her voice rising, and she marched out of the room, Eric followed.
A minute later Emma came in with Princess. "Hey Em." I said taking Princess from Emma. She licked my face and I giggled, my mood got much better.
"Hey." Emma replied. "How are you feeling."
"Trapped." I said. 'And before you ask. Yes I finally get that Ariel is our mother and Eric is our father."
"Good. Katie, don't you feel that some thing big is about to happen. Something magical." Emma said her voice getting more and more excited.
"Yea, I do. Maybe it's the prophesy. Only problem, children born of land and sea. What's that suppose to mean?" I said.
"I know." squeaked a little voice from the back of the room. It was Melody!
"You do?!" Emma said patting the seat next to her. Melody sat down.
"We are born of land and sea. We are the triplets. Eric is the land, Ariel is the sea. Ariel is originally a mermaid. You two mysteriously disappeared, 13 years ago from yesterday, when you came back." Melody said.
"OMG! You're right!" I squealed.
"But how do we get our powers?" Emma asked.
"Maybe, we have to hold hands." Melody sugested. I grabbed Emma's and Melody's hand. I squeezed and they both squeezed back. Suddenly blue sparkling light formed around the chandalier hanging above the center of the room. It stayed for about 5 seconds before it disappeared.
"I don't feel any different." Emma said.
"Maybe it takes ti-" I started to say before the door opened and Ariel rushed in. She ran towards us.
"What happened?!" Ariel said.
That's it. My blood started to boil. I got so mad. Emma and Melody got off the bed, as Ariel came closer. "GET OUT!!!" I screamed and waved my hands. Ariel flew backwards, off the ground and hit the wall. She rushed out of the room crying, closing the door behind her.
Melody and Emma gawked at what I had just done.
"How?" Melody stuttered.
"I just got mad, waved my arms and that happened." I said in bewilderment.
"Maybe we have the same power!" Melody said
"Try." I said finally happy to get some excitement.
Emma waved her arms but nothing happened. Melody tried next, but she couldn't do it. "Maybe we all have different powers." Melody said cheerfully
"Yea that must be it." Emma said
"Let's try to figure out what your powers are." I said shifting in my bed. My cast suddenly felt heavy and hard. "Help me up." Emma and Melody each grabbed an arm and pulled me up. Melody held me steady while Emma grabbed my crutches. I looked down. I was in an annoying nightgown again, and my cast was so big, and bulky. At least I got to chose my color, which is white. I got steady on my crutches and hobbled over to the balcony. Melody and Emma followed. We tried for hours to find out what their powers were. Nothing worked.
"You, guys I'm tired." I said going inside.
"Go to sleep." Melody said following me.
"Yea." Emma said coming in too.
"Girls." A male voice behind us said.
We turned around slowly. A man stood before us. He had short shaggy goldenhair, brown eyes, and was wearing blue jeans, and a baby-blue t-shirt. Needless to say, he was hot! He seamed like he was about 16.
"I'm not going to hurt you. I know about you powers. I'm here to help." he said. "My name is Ryan and I'm your guardian angle."
