And I'm back! Yay! FInally!
I know I'm awful for didn't updating in such a long time but a lot has happened in my life, incluiding the loss of many chapters of this story that were already pre-written and then a lot of university work and for many months my only writing was academical. I may have lost my fanfiction touch in that period but I hope to be able to do both things for now on but I do say my chapters will be shorter and updates slower.
We are starting back right were we left off and I do hope you all enjoy this story. I already say that this is quite different from the chapters I had lost.
Please enjoy and let me know what you think...
"He is What?!" Elsie all but shouted, clearly angry. Mermans are supposed to be extinct.
"Aren't they all dead or something? " rose adds smartly.
"They should be, we don't know what happened. " Edith replies.
'Or why.' Sybil thought. She wanted more than anything to understand why it happened, maybe to show them that a contact between the worlds is possible. 'Maybe its because I wanna be part of his world ' she thinks to herself.
"The main point is : we need help." Mary speaks. Wait! Since when does Mary, who is pretty much a princess, asks for help? Being human, even for a while, was already making her weaker.
"I actually agree with Mary this time, do you know anything we can do to save our home? " Edith speakes.
" Downton is a very powerful place, and mermaids have been keeping humans away from it for centuries and centuries, and I think now you understand why. " Elsie replies, she may have been cast away from the pod many years ago but she still cares about Downton. It is home. " Stay here, I will come back in a minute. " Elsie says and leaves the younger generation in the room.
To say Rose had met other mermaids her age was a bit of mistake. The three mermaids in front of her are the only ones she had met, so clearly she needs to know them better.
"So... What is it like to live with a pod?" She asks and for a moment the three mermaids look sadly at her but Sybil appears to shake whatever sadness Rose's words clearly awaken to answer the young girl's question.
"It is like a huge family, and it is so much fun." Sybil answers the blonde mermaid who smiles at her.
"You never got with a pod, did you?" Mary asked, and if you knew her well you could read the bitterness in her voice torwards the blonde mermaid. It wasn't poor Rose's fault of course; Mary was just angry at this whole sutuation and the fact this sweet little blonde was so comfortable in legs and not in a pod was definatly scary for Mary. That could become her future.
"Never. My turn." Rose speaks but is quickily interrupted by Sybil who appears to have no idea of what she is talking about.
"To what?" Sybil asks.
"Ask a question." She answers as if it's simple as that. "Were you ever curious of humans?"
"Yes." Sybil is the only one who answers. "I even went up to watch a boat once."
"Really?!" Rose asks "Mom says that is forbidden for pod mermaids."
"Why did you not told me or mama about it ?" Mary asks almost angry at Sybil.
"Because you would react like this." Edith took part, she has to help Sybil as the good old sister she is, instead of the tell-it-all Mary is. "And she was just a little hatchling back then, she got curious, were you never curious of land people too?"
"No, never."
"Really?" Edith asked shocked. "Not even once? I mean it's not like they are good or pretty but can't you at least admit the way they move is funny?"
"No, they are disgusting." Mary spoke proudily.
