Tails In Forks
Chapter 4
Author's note/Disclaimer: I own nothing with exeption of Maya, Brooke, Ellie, and Taylor, My OC's. I was thinking of having ColinXEllie as a pairing, as well as Brady and Brooke and possibly Taylor and Jacob? and of course Maya and Seth.
Ten minutes later...
Taylor, Ellie, and Brooke had arrived at the moonpool. Maya saw the red, yellow, and blue flashes of their tails.
"Hey guys." Maya said sadly.
"What the matter My?" Taylor asked.
"My sister says we can no longer have our monthly sleepovers; because of what happened last night." Maya said angrily. "She doesn't understand anything!"
"Of course she doesn't." Brooke added soon after. "We made the descision not to tell anyone about our... Condition."
"I know." Maya responded. "I just wish that... things were different sometimes. That we didn't have to worry about every single drop of water."
"I know." Ellie sympathized with her friend. "But, think about it. It we hadn't become Mermaids we would have never become friends. We wouldn't share this amazing secret. Honestly how many girls do you think that claim to be mermaids really are?"
"Not a lot." Taylor responded.
"Yeah." Brooke replied. "Maya, We're special! Unique!"
Maya smiled a little. "Thanks guys, I knew you could cheer me up."
"Of course." Taylor said smirking.
"Well I better get back home." Brooke announced. "I have to watch Chelsea tonight while my parents are working."
"And I." Ellie replied, "Have a date."
"OH really?" Taylor said. "With whom?"
"Colin." She responded.
"Ooohhh" The three of her friends replied.
"Stop that guys!"
"Stop what?" They replied together.
"You've been crushing on him forever." Maya pointed out. "It's about time."
"Honestly." Taylor said, "You guys and boys."
"What so your telling me there's no one special you have your eye on?" Brooke asked the fiery mermaid."
"Of course not!" She replied.
"Denial!" Brooke sang in reply. "I saw you looking at Jacob Black at school the other day."
"I think I'll be going now." Taylor replied.
"Come on Tay!" Ellie said, "We're just teasing you."
"And now I really have to get going." Brooke said, "Bye."
"Bye." The other three echoed in reply. They saw a flash of her dark blue tail and then she was gone.
"And I have a date to get ready for." Ellie announced. "See ya!" She jumped into the moonpool and as soon as her dark yellow tail appeared she swam off.
"What about you do you have anywhere special to be?" Taylor asked Maya.
"Nope." She replied.
"Good, let's go for a swim."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Maya asked, "You saw the news today."
"So what?" Taylor replied. "I doubt they'll come to a conclusion that four mermaids caused the storm."
"Yeah." Maya replied. "Well I guess a swim would be nice."
"Let's go then!" Taylor replied diving into the Moonpool and Maya followed suit.
The two girls swam for a while before going to the beach to dry off. Taylor tried to grab their towels but failed miserably.
"Great!" Taylor responded. "Now what are we going to do?" She unconsciously made her hand into a fist and steam began coming off her tail as she boiled the water off her tail.
"Wow!" Maya exclaimed. "How did you do that?"
"I don't know." Taylor replied. "Maybe the full Moon gave us more powers?"
"Maybe." Maya looked excited at the prospect. "What powers do you think the rest of us have gotten?"
"I don't know," Taylor said bubbling with excitement. "But I can't wait to find out!"
"Do you mind helping me dry off?" Maya asked as she gestured to her long scaly Green tail.
"Oh!" Taylor said, "Sure no problem!" Taylor used her new found power to dry off Maya's mermaid tail. Once Maya's legs reappeared the two girls grabbed their towels an headed to their respective houses vowing to talk to their friends during school on Monday morning to see if they got any new powers from the full Moon.
A Few days later (two to be exact) at school...
The girls made it into their first class just as the bell rang
As the teacher took attendance Taylor and Maya began telling their friends in hushed whispers about what happened on Saturday night.
"So I was trying to reach our towels so we could dry off right." Taylor began. Maya nodded in affirmation. "And then I clenched my fist and the water just heated up and then my legs were back!"
"Shhh!" Ellie hissed, "Be quiet! We don't need the whole school to know!"
"Lighten Up Ell! Like anyone can hear us." Taylor shot back in a whisper.
Maya then began to talk. "So did you guys discover any new powers?"
"Well," Brooke began hesitantly.
"What?" Taylor asked excitedly.
"Well I was trying to use my power to get a cup of water for Chelsea after she woke up from a nightmare and then the water just froze solid after I put my hand in the shape of a stop sign."
"Wicked!" Taylor replied. "What about you Ellie?"
"I haven't had anything like that happen to me." She replied.
"Neither have I." Maya told her friends.
"Maybe it'll just take a while to show." Brooke told them.
"Maybe." Ellie responded.
The girls turned their attention back to there teacher and their classwork.
Maya looked around a met the eyes of Seth Clearwater. He seemed as if he had been listening intently to everything they had said. But that was impossible right? She shook her head as if to clear her thoughts.
The class bell rang an hour later and the girls made their way out of the classroom. Taylor went ahead to her Math class, While Ellie and Brooke headed to Science. Maya was heading towards her history class when she felt someone grab her arm. She turned and saw that it was Seth Clearwater.
"We need to talk." He told her.
"About what?" She said nervously.
"About what you did on Friday night."
"What did I do?" She replied.
"As if you don't know." He responded.
"Actually I don't know." She replied. "Now if you'll excuse me I have to get to class before I'm late." Maya yanked her arm free and ran down the hall to the safety of her biology class.
