Cleo's POV
As Lewis pulled the curtain back from the window, I saw an evil smile on his face. It was then that I realized this would be a bad idea. When the curtains were finally drawn all the way, I tried to look away, but then the clouds shifted and the full moon came into view. It kept chanting my name over and over again:
Cleo Cleo Cleo Cleo Cleo
I looked at it full on, and I knew I was moonstruck. And so did the moon, it stopped chanting my name and chanted something else. Something I had never heard it chant before. It didn't chant the familiar:
Come to the Ocean. Come to the Sea. Swim to the Depths. Come to Me.
It started chanting:
Destroy. Destroy. Destroy.
It was so odd; I looked over to Emma and Rikki. They of course were looking at the moon, transfixed. I wondered if they heard the same thing I did, or if they heard something else. As a cloud passed over the moon, they looked at me, and suddenly I heard them speaking, but I was too moonstruck to realize their mouths weren't moving.
We need to get out of hear. Freeze Freeze Freeze. I need to freeze everything.
Emma looked me right in the eye as she said this, like she was trying to persuade me to agree. I, however, was confused since she couldn't freeze anything with out water.
Then Rikki came into my field of vision. She also looked straight into my eyes as she said:
Burn Burn Burn. We need to start and start NOW!
Start what?
I was about to ask her when the moonlight captured my attention. As I looked back the moon chanted something different than before. It all made sense then, I had looked away before the moon finished it's chant. I closed my eyes as the rest of the chant washed over me:
Destroy Destroy Destroy. Get rid of everything in your path, everybody in your way. Your target is I, but to get to me, you must destroy whatever is necessary. When the time is right, DESTROY!
It all fell into place. At midnight the full moon will be at its peak, at midnight it will be no more. We will officially block out the moon. I had no idea why the moon would tell us to block it out, but the idea was so tempting I didn't care. It brought us so much trouble; it was a wonder why we never thought of this before.
I turned my head to see the others waiting for me; I nodded at Emma, then at Rikki. Rikki dried us off. Once we could stand, we knew what to do. Emma left to go find Ash, let him find out the hard way never to intimidate her EVER again. And Rikki left to go find Zane. He'll NEVER break up with her again, she'll make sure of that.
Me, on the other hand, looked around for Lewis. It was obvious he left so I had the task to go find him. I ran straight for his boat, I knew I would find him there.
Why were we seeking out our boyfriends? What did this help? How did this fall into place with the rest of the plan?
This thought, like the others I had during the night, made no sense. All were disregarded, determined to go through with a plan that made perfect sense to a moonstruck mermaid.
When I reached Lewis, the evil smile he had at the beginning of the night left his face, and appeared on mine.
He has to be destroyed. He has to be eliminated!
Like he knew what I was thinking, he started his boat and drove off. As if that could save him!
Does he really think he can out run a mermaid?
I jumped into the water after him, easily getting ahead of him. I surfaced to check where he was. He was coming straight at me, though he was looking behind him like I was following him! I raised my hand, and made the water work to my own intentions.
It clogged the propeller, stopping the boat just feet from my face. Lewis looked confused for a moment; a second later he swung around to face me. He was a second too late.
The water engulfed his boat, slowly sinking it. When it was just at the point of completely sinking, I threw a huge gust of wind at him, knocking him out of the boat and into the sea. I threw another gust at him that slowly towed him back towards the shore. I dropped my hand, and looked at the sky.
It was almost time; I wouldn't want to be late, as if that could happen. I sunk down into the ocean and sped off towards Mako. The moon was minutes away from aligning itself with the cone of the volcano.
I went through to the moon pool; Rikki and Emma were already there. Rikki dried me off and I stood up with them waiting for that moment when the moon pool would bubble for the last time.
R&R
