Do I only have two or three readers for this story? Because I only got that many reviews…..it is making me very sad…The people who do read this story, I am on my knees begging you to tell people about it so they will read...PLEASE!
Now I am going to explain the powers the mermaids have received, stay with my though, it might get confusing. Some mermaids don't get many powers when they are born.
Powers they share – They can communicate with each other through their mind, they can hold their breathe for about twenty minutes, can hear better than humans but not as good as Mai, can speak every language but Aqua is the only one to speak animal. They all sing very well and can sink ships or drown people if wanted or needed to (if Chloe and Alek were humans, and the mermaids exposed themselves, the mermaids would have had to kill them).
Aqua's Powers – Communication with animals through her mind and out loud or with a series of noises containing the noise the animal makes, able to control water with her hand, can see visions, and feel others feelings (she is an empath like Chloe). Also has the capability and agility to do things the Mai can do (like jumping, climbing, running fast, seeing better than humans in the dark). (Her father was Mai but her mother was a mermaid, so she has half the abilities of Mai and half mermaid, her father than left her to become the leader of a tribe far away from the ocean).
Brooke's Powers – Able to read others thoughts and deepest thoughts that people weren't thinking at that moment, able to freeze water or make it colder using her hand, can see visions, swim faster than the other mermaids. Also able to create storms and control the wind.
Pearl's Powers – Can heat water with her hand, read peoples thought only when underwater though. (Pearl's mother was a mermaid but her father was a human, than her father left them, and her mother married a merman and had Brooke. That's why Brooke has more powers than Pearl, because one is fully mermaid and one is half).
Hope that clears some things up for you!
Brooke's POV
We sat with the two Mai mates for about an hour and a half longer. I had to have a talk to Aqua about showing her powers in front of the Mai. We don't want to give a lot away, but I know why Aqua does it. She was very mad when her Mai father left her. She wants the Mai to fear her, so she tries to hint her powers when Pearl or I am not looking. That is a reason also that we stay away from land so much. We obviously need rest so we stop at islands.
News travels fast in the ocean. When Aqua's father left to be far away from the ocean, it had spread all around the world in a matter of a week or two. So when her father moved to San Francisco and married another Mai, we three heard about it. Aqua has been so determined to get here; Pearl and I have been worried about her health. Her father had become the leader and had a girl about our age. He died a year later, and Aqua was more determined than ever. Mermaids stay the same age for more than one year; it is more like we have a birthday every ten years. Then there is an age where they stay that old or young forever.
I learned that Pearl a different father than me. She despises humans and sometimes has fun crashing their ships. I try to keep everyone calm, and things in order, but even I get mad sometimes. Then when that happens, we are in trouble. I start creating a huge storm and it is in my sisters and friends hands than.
Full moons are the worst. Aqua is in charge at that time because Pearl and I get possessed in and out of the water. Aqua only gets possessed in the water, luckily we make it to land by the time it is a full moon. Only bad thing is that we have to stay with Mai, and Aqua is in charge…
Aqua's POV
Sitting with these Mai is kind of aggravating me. For all I know they could know my 'sister'. We have the same father, so I guess we are half-sisters.
I call over some fish to make me happy. I call from my head, because Brooke and Pearl would get mad if I revealed anything to Alek and Chloe. A small group of minnows come by my hand and nudge at me. When Chloe starts staring at me, wondering why I am smiling at the water where my hand is, I tell them to leave and look at her.
Pearl's POV
I was very happy to know that Alek was not human. Sadly the British Mai was taken, and Aqua would be mad at me if I dated him anyway.
Now I have my mind set on getting shelter for the full moon. Chloe promised some, I just hope nothing is messed up.
Alek's POV
We were enjoying a peace full night. Chloe had been resting a little, and was now a lot less nervous around the mermaids. I still can't believe she caught me staring at her.
I checked my watch to see the time, because Jasmine will be worried if I am not home. Oh no…I was definitely not wearing my water proof watch…now it is completely broken.
"I am dead" I mumbled under my breath. Chloe and Aqua looked up, but when Aqua saw Chloe and I look at her she quickly looked down. Weird and the other two mermaids didn't take notice.
"What's wrong" Chloe asked.
"My watch is broken from the water" I said at a normal level now. The mermaids looked up, giggled and went back to enjoying their peace on the rocks. I shook my head and took off my watch. I threw the watch with all my strength as far into the ocean as I could. 'The ocean can keep it' I thought. Chloe frowned and reached for her phone. I watched as her mouth dropped open.
"I just lost a life" she said looking at her phone. The three mermaids started laughing. I took my phone out of my pocket and nodded.
"Jasmine is going to kill me again. This is my third phone just this month" I told them. Chloe shoved her back in her pocket, but I threw mine into the ocean as well. The mermaids were laughing very hard now, and Pearl even fell off the rocks in to the ocean.
"Why is this so funny to you?" I asked them. Brooke wiped away some tears from laughing, and Aqua continued and was holding her stomach because she had laughed so much.
"You will never get it" Brooke answered sitting up.
"My mom is going to take all my lives away! I don't even know how to explain this!" Chloe yelled. Pearl sat up on the rocks once more, and Aqua stopped laughing.
"It is not our fault that you do not want Alek looking at your butt" Pearl said to Chloe. It made the other two mermaids cover their mouths with their hand to keep themselves from laughing.
"We are never going to live that down are we?" I asked.
"We?" Chloe interrupted, "You, you will never live that down"
"It was an accident…a mistake" I said, but wished I could have taken it back immediately.
"A mistake? Huh…a mistake" Chloe said thinking. My eyes widened.
"Ooooooohh!" The three mermaids said together.
"NO! Wait!" I denied.
"ALEK! CHLOE!" Someone yelled. We turned to see a person running towards us.
"Chloe, meet us here tomorrow! We will come than, come alone if you can" Brooke instructed quickly. She and the other two quickly dove in after her, swimming away before the person got here.
"Wait!" Chloe yelled after them. I turned back to the person, seeing it was Jasmine.
"You two, I have been looking everywhere! Valentina had sent a group of Mai looking for you when both of you didn't answer. Why are you two all wet? Why did you answer?" Jasmine said shouting questions out.
"Jasmine, calm down, we are fine. We…fell into the water and got out a few second later. It was slippery, and we weren't paying attention. Our phones are wet and broken" I informed her. Chloe pulled her phone out and showed Jasmine. She nodded and looked at me.
"Wait, you broke your phone again? And you were wearing your good watch weren't you" Jasmine asked.
"Yes" I replied.
"Hand them over" Jasmine said putting her hand out. I shrugged.
"Sorry, if you want them, you will have to swim for them" I told her pointing to the ocean. I saw a tail slide gently under the water, assuming it was one of the mermaids. It looked whiter, so it was probably Aqua's. Jasmine sighed and shook her head and called Valentina.
"Yes…they are with me…yes we will be home immediately" Jasmine said into the phone. When she hung up she grabbed Chloe and my wrists and pulled us along.
Aqua's POV
'It was her, I know it. You could tell by her eyes, she had my father's eyes' I said in my head to the others.
'You positive about that? What if you wrong?' Pearl asked.
'I saw her, not trying to be rude, but it is not like you could see them' I told them
'True, but do not jump to conclusions if we meet her tomorrow. Wait and we will find out eventually. And do NOT give any of your mermaid and especially Mai powers away!' Brooke ordered sternly. I nodded to her and continued swimming in the dark blue waters. We found a small cave that we could come up for air in. We lay down on the rocks in the cave for the night, and there was no one to disturb us. I spent a lot of the night staring at the cold cave ceiling, thinking about my parents, my father for that matter. He was dead, and tomorrow I was going to meet my half-sister and the woman he married. I blame that woman for letting him die. I blame my father for leaving us, and leaving my mother alone with me. I blame the Mai, all of them except the Unitor, for taking my father away. I blame my mother for breaking apart when my father left. She stopped caring about everything, and left me alone. I was lucky that Brooke and Pearl found me, I am very grateful for them, to them and their mother. Their mother practically raised me.
Pearl's POV
I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep. I was thinking about what might go down tomorrow. I will be returning to land, and it is always hard. I love to use my feet and legs sometimes, but the ocean gives me more comfort. I do not know where my father is anyway, but it does better not to know than knowing he is dead like Aqua's father. My least favorite part about tomorrow, for sure, will be walking around those humans.
I can tell Brooke is asleep, but I know Aqua is awake. I decide to go to sleep, and get a good rest.
This seemed like a good place to stop. I think the next chapter will be very interesting! BUT HELP ME HERE! I need to know people are reading, more than just three people. Tell your friends! Your fan fiction friends! Complete fan fiction strangers! I don't care; I just need more people to read. I don't care if the reviews are good or bad or suggestive! I will take anything!
