Not sure how I feel about this. It's kind of short and not edited at all, in fact this is the first draft :/ but it's here! Enjoy the Chapter!

Cleo and I were currently driving to her house; she told me there was some people she wanted to meet.

After getting splashed by the dolphins, we managed to pull ourselves under the bridge where I quickly dried us off; Cleo took the rest of the day off after that. This is more important. She told me.

When we got in her house, I don't know what I expected to see but it definitely wasn't a blonde on the floor with a tail.

"Will!" she cried.

"I'm sorry! My drink just spilled!"

The girl glared at the man named Will, raised her hand and his drink turned into a gelatin form. Intresting.

"Um, guys?" Cleo asked them.

They all stared at me, I stared back. "Hello,"

"Hi…"

"Well this is awkward,"

"Cleo, would you care to explain?"

"Lauran, these are my friends. Rikki and Zane, Emma and Ash, and Bella and Will; as you can see they're mermaid's as well."

The staring continued.

"Rikki, a little help here?"

"No. I'm good." Bella glared.

I raised my hand and started drying off Bella. "Thank you,"

My phone started singing a Taylor Swift song. Elijah was calling me. I sighed and picked it up, I could multitask.

"We have a problem,"

"Hello to you too," Bella had her legs back now. "What's wrong?"

"Justine is a mermaid,"

"What?" Although that would make sense since her Mom is one. "How do you know?"

"She showed me her tail. It isn't as long as ours but it's there. She invited me over to her house to talk, and she said she wanted to show me something. She jumped in their indoor pool and showed me."

"Did you tell her about us?"

"No!" I heard a knock on the door and Justine's voice.

"Wait where are you now?"

He coughed embarrassed. "I'm in their bathroom, I need you to come over so I have an excuse to leave."

"Dude, come downstairs."

He told Justine something, I couldn't hear, and walked down stairs. I hung up the phone. "We aren't the only ones, bro."

"Elijah wait," Justine called and was on the stairs as well. "Oh, I didn't realize we had company." She mumbled embarrassed.

"What's happening? I thought you were supposed to be at Marine Land?"

"We got wet—"

"Did anyone see you?"

"No," Cleo sounded offended that Rikki would even ask. "We've been doing this for twenty-five years; I think I have it down now."

"How long have you been a mermaid?"

"Four months,"

"One week," Elijah mumbled.

"You're a merman?" Lewis asked.

Elijah nodded slowly. "You are?" Justine asked again.

"None of our boys are mermen—"

"Wait, if Justine is a mermaid how come at dinner you didn't run away?" This thought coming to me now?

"I can control when I turn, so I could get drenched in water and not grow a tail. It's pretty handy."

"You guys have children?" Elijah asks.

"Is Michael one of your sons?"

Rikki nodded. "He tends to take after his mother," Zane told me and RIkki punched him.

"And he knows about you guys being mermaids?"

Again Rikki nodded but Justine answered. "All of the boys have powers while the girls have tails. You guys have both,"

"I'm going to kill him," The others were mermaids, their parents are mermaids! They probably knew why Elijah and I ran away, or at least suspected but instead of asking me or in a discreet way ask me. I might have been okay if he at least poured water on me in the bathroom or something, not outside!

"He's in the pool," Rikki told me. I thanked her and went back to the pool I saw when I was here the other day.

I opened the door but no one acknowledged me because they were too busy having a water fight—more like war. Everyone was in the pool, the girls had tails, like Justine said; they were the color of Cleo's. The boys didn't but Joshua was holding a water ball and Michael was froze it right in front of my eyes.

"You'll never catch me alive!" Eva laughed. Joshua threw it at her but she swam under before it could hit her.

"That's not fair!" Ricky screamed.

Josh made another water ball but this time I took it from him. They all looked over at me now.

I looked at Ricky, he looked very guilty. "Hi. Lauran." He rubbed the back of his neck.

I turned to Michael. He looked smug. I made the water ice and threw it at him; I wanted to wipe that smug look off his face. He tried to stop it, but I was stronger. I didn't want to kill him, so it only hit his shoulder. "That's for pouring water on me, out in the open."

He rubbed his shoulder. "Alright. I deserved that."

"Please by all means, continue you're game."

As I walked out I heard Bridgett say, "I knew I liked that girl."
