Anonymous Review Answers: Answer 1: Jeremy is somewhat accepting. Answer 2: Hm, Vlad being involved. That's interesting to think about. You're gonna have to keep reading and see if Vlad does get involved. Answer 3: Lol I guess the blood thing was pretty gross, but I needed a little comic relief and yes Danny does love Sam, but as I said before, there is a reason for the feelings he has towards Sam. As for Sam's response, you'll have to figure out yourself what her response is. Review please!
The next day, Sam got up early and snuck out the window like yesterday. She was excited about the dance tonight. Sam decided to use the time she had to go into the cave her and Danny used to meet at. Sam noticed her top was gone, but the towel wasn't. There was still a stain of her period blood. It was a good thing she bought pads when she went shopping. Sam picked up the towel and threw it in the pool of water before sighing.
There were memories that filled this cave. Memories that went years back to when Sam was six years old. Danny and Sam had been together in this very cave for years. Sam had to smile at those memories. They were things nobody could take away or replace.
Sam noticed something coming out of the water. She realized it was Valerie. She saw Sam and went into complete shock. Valerie examined Sam from head to toe. Sam was human.
"Oh my gosh. Sam, is that you?" Valerie asked in surprise.
"Valerie, what are you doing here?" Sam asked.
"I came looking for you. Hon, the whole kingdom is looking for you. Your father's worried sick. I can't believe you just ran off like that and how did you get legs?" Valerie asked looking upset and surprised at the same time.
"I made a deal with the sea witch," Sam explained to her friend. "Tell Dad I'm okay and I've made it to where I can be human forever. I'll miss you, Val."
"I'll miss you too and so will everyone else. You know Sam, your dad loves you. I know he tried to keep you from the human world, but is it worth it to run away just so that you can have it your way?" Valerie asked her eyes furrowed.
"It doesn't really matter anymore, because I can't go back. I have to be human or turn to suds."
Valerie gasped, and then looked down at the cave floor. She nodded.
"I understand. Goodbye Sam."
Valerie sank underwater as Sam sighed and felt a hug block of guilt being carried on her back. She knew going to the sea witch was the most selfish thing to do and now she couldn't go back and change her mind. Sam had to get Elliot to keep his love or she would die. There was no turning back. Sam had to live the rest of her life as a human.
Sam looked at the dance tickets and knew her relationship with Elliot was the only way for her to live.
The night had finally come and Sam was in her dress Danny bought for her for the dance. It actually belonged to Jazz, but she was too big for it now. It fit Sam just right. She saw everyone from Casper High going into the gym with their dance tickets and their best dress. Sam felt nervous, at the same time, she also felt guilt. Was being with Elliot the best choice? Sam had only known him for three days. Yet, the sea witch did say it had to be three days. For some reason, Sam felt that this wasn't right.
Sam went inside the school gym and saw a whole group of people dancing. Everyone was having a great time on the dance floor. There were boys flirting with beautiful girls and a group of girls dancing together. Tucker saw Sam and went up to her.
"Hey Sam," Tucker greeted.
"Hey Tuck, nice outfit," Sam said teasingly. Tucker's suit was a dark green with a blue pokadotted tie.
"The ladies love it."
"Yeah. Word of advice, lose the tie."
"What's wrong with it?"
"Tucker, even Danny's tie can catch more girls."
Tucker showed a grumpy expression. Sam then, saw a freckled blond chick with a blue dress running towards somebody. Sam gasped in horror as she saw the blond girl running towards Elliot and hugging him tightly.
"Sandy, how'd you come all the way from Manhatan?" Elliot asked in surprise.
"I found out about your school dance and took a plane trip. I couldn't stop thinking about you. I heard you almost drowned from a thunderstorm. Are you okay?" Sandy asked.
"I'm fine. Listen, how 'bout we..." Elliot said before seeing Sam. She ran quickly into the girl's bathroom before anyone could stop her.
Sam went inside one of the bathroom stalls with her face covered and tears coming from her eyes. There was another life Sam never knew about Elliot. He had dated a girl back where he came from. Also, he lied to Sam about his last girlfriend being with him when he was young. Maybe Elliot wanted to move on and didn't think his ex girlfriend would ever come back. Sam didn't care, she knew she was just as guilty. While Elliot was using Sam to get over his girlfriend, she was using Elliot to become human. Why else would Sam feel like going to the dance with Elliot was wrong? There wasn't real love. It took three days and having Sam's heart broken for Sam to realize it. Elliot liked her, but he didn't love her.
Sam could hear Elliot calling her from outside of the bathroom, but it didn't matter. Elliot didn't know Sam. Even Danny knew Sam better than Elliot. Sam sighed, wiped her tears, and went out of the bathroom. She saw Elliot who had a very guilty look on his face.
"Listen, I'm really sorry I..." Elliot apologized.
"You lied to me," I muttered under my teeth. "Why didn't you tell me you had someone from where you once lived."
"I thought she'd never come back. I did break up with Sandy, so I would move on. I really didn't think she would come back and you're right, I did lie."
"How long did you two date?"
"about a year or so."
"I see. If you love her, you'd find a way for you two to be together no matter how far apart you are. I know exactly what it's like to live far from somebody and have it difficult for us to be together."
Elliot nodded and they hugged before parting. Sam wasn't mad at him and she didn't think it was worth it. She knew she would die anyway, so what was the point? Sam left the dance, got dressed inside the cave her and Danny would meet, and sat by the beach where the water met the shore. Sam wanted to turn into suds at the place she belonged in, the ocean. For some reason, the guilt was finally gone from Sam. She was no longer using Elliot, but did the right thing.
