A/n: Hey guys I'm trying something new with this chapter I'm going to do it in POV and if you guys tell me you like it I will do the rest of the chapters like this. Has anybody noticed that in the show they only go to Cleo's house, Will's boat shed, Rikki's café, Mako island, the beach, and briefly the school so I'm might make some places up. Also I really wanted to thank Flaming Man of Iron for your suggestions they mean a lot and I take every word to heart and put the advice back into the story. I also wanted to thank wella4ever25 I'm happy you like the story.
Bella's Point of View
As Will and I pulled up to Mako Island we noticed Dr. Denman's boat. Oh no. I had to warn Cleo and Rikki before they got caught here. I quickly sent them both a text and turned to Will.
"We need to leave before she sees us. Will what do we do?" I asked nervously.
"Duck down that way if she sees the boat she'll just see me," Will said. I crouched down and couldn't believe that I had to do this. The girls and I had always felt safe at Mako even after the comet.
A voice rang out "Will is that you?" Denman said loudly. Will motioned for me to crouch lower. Will stood up and waved but he suddenly sat down and moved the boat towards Denman's boat.
"What are you doing? "I asked the idea was for us not to get caught up with Denman.
"We need to act normal if she thinks that were weird she'll be specious. You stay here out of sight and I can talk to her keep her off track ok," Will said then passed me his big adventuring back pack to hide behind .Will pulled close to Denman's boat.
"Will it's good to see you again. Are you coming out here to Mako alone? "She asked
"Well I wasn't going to Mako I was about to go for a dive. I'm a free driver. I think I should go let you get back to your work," Will said as he was reaching for the motor.
"Will you should come on to the boat we could talk about the ocean and I'm not here for work more personal research," Denman said. Will reluctantly got off the boat and into Denman's boat. I couldn't hear a thing so I sat waiting for Will to come back.
Will's Point of view
I jumped onto Denman's boat and went inside the small cabin leaving Bella out in the boat hiding behind a back pack. I was worried for Bella and the girls not only had Denman already seen mermaids but she was here for personal research.
"Will you said you were a free diver is this your first dive around Mako?" she asked as she fanned out some papers. I responded with a nod no and went over to the table .All of the papers had something to do with mermaids or sea creatures.
"So have you ever seen anything weird in the water or an underwater see cave?" she asked trying to sound nonchalant.
"Nope nothing weird like that," I said hoping that my answer sounded real enough. She asked about Bella, questions that made me worried that Denman was on to her. As she asked me questions I looked threw all of the papers. Denman definitely spent a lot of time researching mermaids. Her papers were everything from myths to supposed sightings.
"Will do you want to go on a dive I can show you some cool stuff around Mako," she said. I decide to go and find out what she knew. Find out how I could help the girls.
I told her I would and she went to go get some dive gear. I walked back outside and went to the edge of the boat to check on Bella. I looked into the boat and barley saw Bella the back pack covered her small frame. I hopped back onto the boat to talk to her and grab my dive goggles.
"Bella I'm going to dive with Denman see what she knows and try to keep her from the moon pool, "I said.
"Ok be careful," Bella said and moved to give me a kiss. We kissed quickly in fear of Denman seeing us and yet kissing Bella still felt like the first time at the beach party after all the confusion. Bella quickly got back into her hiding spot behind the back pack. I hoped back onto Denman's boat she came out several minutes later and we dived in. Denman immediately started heading towards the moon pool. I decide that I would go in before her just in case Cleo and Rikki had ignored Bella's message. I swam behind her but right before she found the moon pool entrance I cut her off and went in first. As I came in I looked around nobody was there. Denman surfaced behind be and gasped.
"What happened here it so different," she said stepping out of the pool. I knew what she meant the waterfall was new to her and the cave still showed the damage that my sister Sophie had made.
"I think we should go the cave doesn't look to stable just look at the damage that's happened to this place, "I said wanting to keep Denman from finding anything.
"Sure we can leave but I'm coming back later tonight," Denman said. I would have to warn the girls to stay away. Suddenly I heard Denman mumbling to herself about how tonight was a full moon. How could I have forgot tonight was a full moon. Ever since the comet had flown by the girls didn't have to worry about the water tentacle but they did have to worry about getting moon struck. We swam back and she told me that it was good to see me and that she wished that Bella could have come with. Of course she wanted Bells to come. I hopped back onto my boat and left. As soon as we were far enough from Denman Bella came out from under the back pack. I told her what happened and mentioned how tonight was a full moon. She gowned Bella had a hard time with the new effects of the moon. Cleo and Rikki were well prepared from experience of being moon struck but Bella had never had any experience tell it started happening after the comet.
"You should call the girls tell them what's happening and figure out if were staying together for the night," I said. Ever since we all started moving in with our partners we would have separate moon struck experiences Bella's being the worst of all but since Denman was sneaking around I thought it would be safer if we were all there so me, Lewis, and Zane could help the girls.
"We're going to sleep over at Zane and Rikki's house. They didn't forget and already have the place moon proofed plus their house is the farthest from Mako. Will how is that were the worst about full moons but if been the mermaid for the longest? Bella asked.
" It's just you never had to worry about full moons so you're having trouble adjusting ," I told Bella. I knew that she always felt bad about getting moon struck or forgetting a full moon because she wasn't being carful enough about the secret. Cleo told Bella that they all had made the same mistakes well Rikki told her she had to be more careful. When we got home we packed up our night bags and started the walk to Rikki and Zane's huge house.
Bella's Point of View
Will and I walked to Rikki's house holding hands.
"Do you think everything's going to be alright tonight?" I asked Will. I was so worried. Most of the time a moon struck mermaid was bad enough but with Denman running around it made thing that much worse.
"You guys are going to be fine," Will said and kissed me on the forehead. He was so sweet. We got to Rikki's house and I'm still taken back at how big it is for just the two of them living there. Sure I had been here a couple times but this house was so big I still get lost. Will knocked on the big glass door .I guess it was ok to have a glass door when you have a huge brick fence surrounding your house. Rikki answered the door and gave me a hug. We went up stairs to the game room also known as the full moon room. The room had no windows or access to water. We stayed here on most full moons when we were all together. The room had a couple of couches and the six of us fit in to the room just fine. The whole house already seemed to be moon proofed.
"Are Cleo and Lewis here yet?" I asked maybe they were in another part of the house.
"No they aren't Cleo said she was coming later." Rikki said. Me and Will set our night bags down on the blue couch that we usually claimed when we spent the night. Zane came into the room and gave Will a bro hug and gave me a friendly hug. Zane and Will had become close friends after graduation.
"I ordered Pizza for everyone it should be hear soon," Zane said. Will and Zane started to play a racing game on the TV.
"You need to be careful tonight Bella," Rikki warned. I was used to it by now. Rikki's always telling me what to do .It wasn't fair I have been a mermaid much longer than she has.
"Rikki I've been doing this for years I think I can handle it." I told her.
"If you can handle it then why do you keep getting moon struck," Rikki said. She was right thou I had been moon struck several times in the year from the graduation. The doorbell rang cutting the tension. Rikki left to pay for the pizza and I went and sat down behind Will. I gave Will a kiss from behind. He turned around and gave me another kiss ignoring the game he had been playing. Zane groaned and told Will to get back to the games. Will smiled and went back to his game. A few minutes later Rikki came in with the pizza, Lewis and Cleo. Everybody exchanged hugs. We at pizza and hung out around the house. The moon was coming up in about ten minutes. The guys ushered me, Cleo, and Rikki into the full moon room and went to go make sure that everything was moon proofed. It was important that nothing went wrong especially with Denman there but knowing our luck something bad was going to happen. The guys came into the room several minutes later. We sat around for several hours tell Cleo had to leave the room. Cleo told us that she had to use the bathroom. It was a risky move so I went with her. I guess it would have been smarter for Lewis to go with her but I went instead. As we entered the bathroom I noticed that there was a speck of moonlight coming in from a rip in the black out paper. Cleo and I went to the sink and turned the water on it looked beautiful with the moonlight.
Will's Point of View
Me, Rikki and the guy's heard the water running from the bathroom. We all looked at each other instantly we went into the emergency mood which meant Zane and Rikki ran into the moon room closet and stayed there. Lewis and I ran to the bathroom to find Bella and Cleo staring at the water. Lewis turned the water off quickly. Both girls had the moonstruck look. They went to leave through the door but Lewis and I blocked the doors. Somehow Cleo and Bella pushed us out of the way and ran out into the hall down the stairs and out the front door. Lewis and I looked at each other we both knew that they were heading out to Mako. We told Zane and Rikki that we were leaving to find he girls and we left for Mako. I sure hoped the girls would be fine.
