IF U R READING THIS…Yeay! I wrote another one! Sorry guys, the fighting scene sucks! I was rushing, I'm not good at writing fight scenes and stuff!

Anyway, in this chapter there's actually a part where Dylan and Paola connect and also Nyasia and Luca, xD, enjoy ;)

Nyasia's POV:

I barged out of the tent to find the men screaming, running as far away as possible from the water, where there wee sticky like things, darting out of it, catching men in its

stickiness They're here. I peeked from behind the boulder, and there Captain RB was shooting dozens of merpeople. Then, a blue tailed, muscular merman broke surface and

yelled, "Where are the princesses!?" RB shot at him, but missed, "You'll never have them!" Everyone was at havoc, against the horrendous waves and raging merpeople. We

saw the boys, they weren't behind the boulder, but they were throwing rocks at the mersoldiers. "No!" I screamed, when the sticky mermaid substance wrapped around one of

each of the boys' legs. The girls and I lunged.

Xander's POV:

I was being yanked into sea, then I plunged into the murky sea water. I was so grateful I knew how to make an air bubble underwater. I looked down at my attacker, my eyes

widened. "Aleadana! It's me." She kept yanking, "Aleadana! It's me, Xander." She froze and looked me in the eyes and jerked back, "Xander?" I nodded. "Aleadana, help. I have

three other mortal friends being lured in." We broke surface and looked over to the other three, who were right on the edge of the sand, the girls struggling to keep them on

shore. "Please, tell Calpurina, Teodora, and Rufiana to stop!" She nodded and raced over. She stopped them, thankfully. Then, I saw the army of the royal merfamilies about ten

feet away. He suddenly looked over at me, with wide ayes as he registered my face. "Xander!" I nodded, the water was cold and I was freezing. "Where are the princesses?!"

They are being held captive." "And they could not have escaped? THey are in their territory." I hesitated. "The red bearded man has threatened them." Melead growled. "They will

not leave." I said…they will not leave the others. I will not leave. "Stay back, I will send for the others to take you back home!" I nodded and went…the other direction! "Xander!"

Melead yelled.

Bianca's POV:

When we got them we did our best to get the other three to safety, we weren't worried about ourselves. We were fine, until merpeople we did not recognize pull the boys once

again. They stuck their line, and were much stronger than the girls. We groaned, the mermens strength pulled them right away into the sea. We panicked and instinctively

jumped into the water…changing our feet…to tails, and raced to get them before they were killed.

Dylan's POV:

Down. I was being dragged down under by some mermen. Goner. The word echoed in my head, then my thoughts switched to Paola, and the everything started to fade around

me.

Paola's POV:

Inconcious! He was unconscious! Or was he dead? No! He is not, he could not be! I raced as fast as I could, I mean seriously! The only mortal I have ever took interest in is

about to be killed! This is so not fair! What did I ever do to deserve this?!

Bianca's POV:

I scratched the merman's face with my long nails and slapped another with my long, blue fin and grabbed Xander, who took out the rest. Where the hell did he learn to fight

merpeople? Xander, having lived in the merworld, had strong legs, so he could swim. WE swam back to shore, when we saw Paola racing away behind the boulder with an

unconscious Dylan, mere on their back, the two of us went to help them.

Mackenzie' POV:

Oh no they didn't! Ugh, now I have to help that annoying little toad. I am so hungry, you know we are never good fighters on an empty stomach! C'mon. I swam and cached

him, while two mermen were arguing over him, barnacle heads! Luckily my hair was blocking my face. Luis put up a freaking damn fight.

Nyasia's POV:

three…four…five unknown merpeople were holding him as he struggled, wasting his breath. I zoomed in and rammed each merman as hard as I could on their torso, losing their

grip on Luca. I grabbed him under his ams and zoomed up before he could see my face. Suddenly, I stopped, then I looked down and saw a merman yanking at my tail. "Soldier,"

I screeched in mermaid tongue. "do you know who I am," Luca was losing air. I wailed." Do you restrain the one and only princess Nyasia?" He gasped and jerked away from me,

swimming away. Luca was on the verge of passing out. When I got close to the surface, I heard a loud wail nearby. I looked over to see Calpurina, Rufiana, Aleadana, and

Teodora. "Come back!" They cried. I closed my eyes. "I don't know if I can." I choked, my heart breaking. I swam up to shore and handed Bianca and Mackenzie a nearly passed

out Luca while Xander pulled me out of the water and tossed me what's left of my dress.

Twenty minutes later:

No one's POV:

*cough cough cough* THe boys echoed behind the giant boulder. The mermaids had ceased, the waves were calm, and about a third of RB's men had died, or had scattered into

the forest, but they didn't really care. They were just relieved the boys were safe. Dylan had woken up, but had fallen asleep right away on Paola's lap, while she tried to rest too.

Mackenzie kept smirking at Luis, but was sad she couldn't grill him on saving his life. Xander was discussing what happens next with Bianca nearby. Nyasia and Luca were leaning

against the boulder. She eyed him and scooted next to him. "Hi." She said, he didn't answer, he wouldn't even look at her. "What's wrong?" Luca looked at his hands. "Are you

mad at me?" He sighed. I could never be mad at you, he thought. He stared into her eyes, and seemed to get lost in them, his heart finding peace and melting with the feelings.

Helooked down and said, "So what's with you and Luis?" His voice, peppered with jealousy. "Nothing's between us." She smiled and said softly, her voice threatening to take his

hostility away from him. After he got his wits he raised his voice, "You're lying!" He accused. "Luca.. there is nothing between me and Luis… I promise, he was just joking

around." He looks insecure. "After all that we've been through, you choose to "joke" with him?" She shook her head and sighed. "I promise you." She leaned into him and gave

him a long, soft kiss under his cheekbone, then laid her head on his shoulder to sleep.

Luca's POV:

My mind was spinning, my heart was racing, I think I was gonna melt right on the spot. I laid my head against the boulder for support. Oh my god, she just kissed my. I was

melting into the sand right there. She promised. I smirked at Luis who grinned and gave me a thumbs up while bobbing his head up and down like a drunk animal. I smiled and l

aid my head on hers, and slept, was so tired.

Mackenzie's POV:

When safeish morning finally came, my eyes fluttered open to the sunlight. I treated and felt something on my stomach…Luis' head. I spazzed right there and bolted up, stalking

away, trying to get Luis cooties off of me, muttering cries of grossness. Then, I stopped to find Paola and Dylan giggling behind a nearby rock… I am so holding this over them.

And then about a hundred feet away, I saw Luca sleeping on Nyasia's lap, while she cleaned his face with a wet, torn, cloth from who knows where, I don't care. I smirked at my

best friend. She mouthed "Shut up," she blushed, with a guilty look on her little face. I rolled my eyes, then RB yelled, "On forth in five minutes."

Luca's POV:

I was slowly sleeping out of my dreamy state, when I felt something wet dabbing my face.I squirmed and my eyes shot open to see Nyasia with a dirty, wet cloth, and a warm

smile on here face that stopped my heart. "Mornin' sleepy head." She said. Stupidly, I got tongue tied and stumbled over my words,"Uh-um-I-is-ergh-el-um-eh…" She giggled.

Her hands were threaded in my hair, I closed my eyes and rocked my head back and forth. She giggled.

Nyasia's POV, SHORT:

I giggled and looked at him, I had the strange urge to kiss him…

BACK To Luca:

"We're moving in a few minutes." She said. I frowned, I wanted to stay like this forever. Then we were interrupted by someone clearing their voice. We looked over and found

Xander with his arms crossed, tapping his foot, "Nyasia…" He raised his eyebrow. Oh, I forgot all about him… WHAT DOES HE WANT NOW?! Nyasia scoffed and threw the cloth at

him,"Xander!" She whined. "Xander!" He mimicked her. "Xander-you-ugh-Go Away!" She whined like an annoyed teen. He laughed at her then walked away. "That baboon's

ass." She said under her breath. It took all my will not to laugh at that.

Bianca's POV:

We trudged forward at grass, heading to the other side of thy giant island, with everyone arms ready. This journey would take a maximum of two weeks, so we tried to find a

closer place to sleep, we weren't even close to one-sixth of the way, this will be one long hell of a journey. Histerically, we found many crew members along the way, we were

surprised that the hostile nature of the island didn't kill them yet.

Dylan's POV:

After about TWO HOURS, we got to a place to rest for about five minutes. When we got there, Paola blushed and took me to a near , yet unseen tree, pushed me onto it and

started peppering my neck with kisses, that immediately woke me up, yet immediately weakened my legs. I couldn't hold back a moan, so I buried my face into her neck, so no

one could her. She giggled and I leaned in to kiss her lips, but she drew her face away to kiss my cheek instead and smiled innocently. I smiled and tried again, but this time she

kinda pulled away, I looked at her, confused. "I think we should get back." She said, pulling me along. "But we just-" Her loud humming cut me off. We went over to Nys and

Kenzie who said, "Whoa, where did you two go?" "I think the question is, what were you two doing?" Kenzie said, her eyebrows raised and then they laughed. "Just talking

privately." Paola covered. "Mhmm, yeah, sure you guys were." Kenzie said. "Don't think I cant see that love mark on your neck, Dylan." They giggled at our blush. I gave Paola a

look, she mimicked it. I rolled my eyes and went off to the boys, chuckling silently. I crossed Bianca along the way and asked, "How big is it?" She laughed and walked past me. I

touched the love mark on my neck. "Oh, no onewill even notice it." She called back. She snickered after she said this. I groaned, Paola's gonna be the death of me.

Luis' POV:

Dylan walked up to us with an idiot smile on his child like face. All our eyes traveled to his neck. "Oi, nice love mark mate." I said and we all laughed. "Aye, shut up, at elate I got

something, you all are here just sittin." Xander raised his eyebrow like he was challenging him. What has he been doing? "Hahah, well I go a kiss on me cheek and here ole

Xander nearly got a lip," Yeah right. "So technically…only Luis got nothing." They laughed. "Well, not yet anyways…" I muttered. "For your sake mate, I think you should get

somethin to cover that ship of a love mark of yours." We snickered when we saw Paola smirk at him from where all the girls are. "All right!" RB yelled. "Back on trail." I groaned,

it was about an hour before noon this was gonna be a long day. I sighed and got my lazy ass of the tree root and pulled myself forward.

Okay, I will try to update as fast as I can. U know u wanna press review. lol I love writing this. Anyway…They're going to the lake after the story after this

one! And guess who they run into? Pumped for it! Oh, and here's what Dylan and Paola were doing earlier in the morning:

Dylan and Paola:

I smiled at her as she leaned on the rock. I grabbed for her hand, she blushed and smiled. "I like you." She said. I smile at her and kissed her hand and pulled her to me,

wrapping my armsaround her, kissing her forehead. She wrapped her arms around my neck, "I lov-er-um like you too." She giggled. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw

Kenzie making a gross face at us. I chuckled to myself. "What?" She asked. "Kenzie saw us." She made an 'o' with her mouth. I laughed at her expression and kissed her on the

neck, where she giggled again. I am so happy right now.

So cute together 3
