This is from season 2-episode 21-And Then There Were Four. If you wanna watch it its free online on Hulu (without signup) or if you already have netlix all three season are on there. This was kind of filler chapter and a slight indicator to what might happen in the future. Thanks for reading! :)
I upload a chapter every Wednesday now :)
The sound of Cleo's alarm filled her room. She woke with her heart beating out of her chest. She had another nightmare. This nightmare involved the death of all of her friends and family including Lewis. Great.
Cleo got up and stretched when a very sick feeling went to her stomach. Her eyes widened as she put her hand over her mouth and ran to her bathroom and threw up in the toilet. After vomiting for a solid 5 minutes she was physically drained and had a headache. Cleo got off the floor and flushed the toilet. Maybe all of this is because she was due to start her period today. She looked at the calendar in her bathroom and saw she was right. Her underwear was dry so she figured she could put a pad on now just in case her period decided to surprise her during the day.
"There he is" Rikki said noticing Lewis approach.
"Hey guys what's up?" Lewis opened his locker.
Cleo got up and took the briefcase holding all of the mermaid research "You need to get rid of this"
"That's all of Max's research.I'm not gonna get rid of it."
"Yes, you are. Thanks to you Charlotte's already seen a mermaid. We don't want her finding out anything else."
Rikki gave him the briefcase.
"Well, it wasn't my fault she found it" He pointed out.
"No, you're right. Why don't we just burn it… Em?"
"Im okay with that" She smiled.
"Cleo?"
Cleo nodded her head in approval
"Guy guys guys. I'm only half way through it. There are highly valuable detailed documents-"
"About mermaids Lewis. She can't find out about us." Cleo said.
"Theres still so much to learn."
"It's dangerous. It has to go" Emma said strictly.
"Ok ok. Why don't I just give it back to Max. It'll be safer with him that way. Ok?"
The three girls left leaving Lewis thinking about his research when all of a sudden Charlotte appeared right next to him.
"I can't stop thinking about mermaids" She said with a huge smile.
Lewis mentally groaned and rolled his eyes.
"Look, Cleo I'm really sorry about all this"
"I know" She said sympathetically. "But I have to ask. Are you ok?"
"Yeah sure I'm just… its just hard on you, on Rikki, its hard on Emma."
"No.. I mean you. Are you ok." Cleo clarified.
"No. No, I'm not." Lewis turned around to lay himself flat on the bed rest his head on his arms. Cleo turned around and moved a little closer to him.
"You could tell me" her voice was soft and inviting.
"It's just… today with charlotte…I didn't know what to say." He looked at her.
"She can be very persistent." Cleo watched him with care and caution.
"She's relentless. We almost broke up."
"Almost?"
"I don't know how long I can do this for. Keeping all this a secret. I feel like I'm lying to her… no I am I am lying to her. It was never gonna work out with charlotte was it. " he looked at her. "Im such an idiot"
"Lewis" She laid down next to him touched his shoulder. "Don't be so hard on yourself. You're a great guy." She then rubbed his back.
"Thanks. You always been easy to talk to. I miss that" Lewis said. And Cleo agreed "Yea. Me too."
"But Lewis?" She waited a moment. "You really need to talk to her".
"Yea. Ok I will… See you tomorrow?" Lewis asked. She nodded and said "yea"
Emma woke up and looked at her watch. "Wake up sleepy heads. The full moon's over and nothing happened."
"For once" Rikki said sarcastically as she stretched.
"Does anyone else find that a little odd? I mean, the magic usually hits one of us."
"Hey we didn't turn in to half crazed zombies over night. I don't know about you but I'm ok with that." Rikki smiled and Emma chuckled at her comment.
Cleo got out of bed eagerly. "Well, I better get ready" She hopped to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror before saying to Rikki and Emma "Hey. Do you think I should wear my hair up or down today. Like which suits me better" Cleo shrugged a little at the end to make it look casual. Emma and Rikki share looks with each other and smiled knowingly.
"Alright" Rikki started. "What happened between you and lewis last night?" Rikki said skeptically with a mischievous smile. But Cleo shrugged it off and said"Nothing. Why?" Cleo went back into the bathroom.
