Wow, it has been so long! I have been real busy with exams and stuff, but they're just about over now, so I had the urge to write. And to add onto that, I have this horrible habit of writing bits of each fanfics and then making new ones. I am actually in the middle of making about 8 at once, just one idea and I'm off. But this one is most popular, so I thought you all deserved an update. This is Rikki's POV (because of H20Girl of cource) and I hope you enjoy it.

We have two more Rikkis after this, one Cleo and one Emma. I don't own the series, or any of the character involved (apart from my OC's of cource). Love some reviews!

Into The Deep

Rikki's POV

Blue. All that I could see was blue. The sea was a rich saphire blue, sparkling in the sun's glare. There were only fleeting clouds, leaving the sky almost completly blue. The sun sent sparkles through the water, making beautiful rainbows. Any sign of land had faded a while back. It was only after swimming through the water for a few hours that I really began to think about what I had done.

I was following a random boy through the ocean to a completly unknown destination. I mean, my father taught me better than that. But he saved me from those villagers, and he has powers, so I guess since he is a mermaid as well, we are on the same side. Yeah, he has a tail. It's a beautiful dark blue, it matches his eyes beautifully.

Warped, I know. But even if I wanted to go back, it was a bit too late anyway, wasn't it. But it was time to find out a bit more about the elusive Toby.

I stopped. He didn't even turn around! I guess he wasn't as nice as I thought.

"Oy!"

He stopped suddenly and turned to face me. He gave me a cute smile, which I reluctantly returned. I then shook myself. He was going to leave me! I swam up close to him.

"It's time for you to tell me everything. Who are you? Where are we going? How do you know who I am?"

"Later"

"Oh no, you don't get away that easy. Hey, stop!"

He really didn't like to talk, did he I thought to myself as I swam forward to block him off. He wasn't smiling now. He didn't seem angry though. He had a very strong face, it reminded me a bit of Zane. But that's the only resembalance I could find anyway.

"I'm not allowed to say anything. I'm sorry"

"Well, you better tell me something, or else I'm swimming"

"Where?"

He had me there. I had no idea where to go. Heck, I didn't even know if I was nearer Australia or New Zealand! How far away am I from Mako anyway? Speaking of Mako, what would Emma and Cleo be thinking? I mean, Toby said that a message was sent to Emma, but he could have been lying. And where was his little girlfriend, anyway? More and more questions werer popping into my head as I thought of them.

"Fine. But I still have some questions that I'm sure you can answer. Like, where's your girlfriend?"

"What is that?"

Was this guy for real? When was he born, the fricken 1600s. Who knows, maybe he was. That's what I could ask him about, a bit more about himself. But first, I had to figure out what happened to the girl with him.

"Tinfoil girl! Why isn't she with us? What happened to her? She was running with us, and then she just...well...wasn't there"

"Sandy has other duties to do. She'll join us soon enough"

You have got to be kidding me! Seriously, the mermaid was called Sandy! Must have been some mean parents who would name their daughter Sandy. And she's a mermaid. But knowing their extreme knowlege of the modern age, they probably don't even understand the joke.

"And how is her Reef going? Her mother"

He didn't even answer. OK, this is not working out. I can't swim forever with a guy who dosen't understand what the word 'girlfriend' is, yet alone a joke!

He started swimming again. I just wanted to shake him until he gave me the answers. But I had a feeling that shaking him wouldn't be the smartest idea. I guess just swimming with him for a while would do for now, but I was going to get those answers, whether he liked it or not.

I don't know how long we were swimming for, probably hours. I zoned out for goodness knows how long. He'd had more than enough time to think about his answers, and this time I was going to get them. I decided to boil him. Just a little bit, mind you. As soon as I did, he spun around and swam straight towards me rapidly.

"Rule 3: Never use your powers for harm against another mermaid" Toby stated neutrally, as if he had repeated the phrase hundreds of times.

"Great, there are mermaid rules against harming other mermaids. Oh, arrest me, please" I said to him mockingly.

He just looked at me again, and looked like he was about to swim again.

"Wait, wait. Stop, please. You owe me at least some answers. I know you can't tell me about where I am going, or what is at this place, but can you tell me how far away we are"

"We are close now. Let's go"

"No. I'm not going with you anymore. I'll take my chances in the open sea I think. I would say it was nice to meet you, but it really wasn't"

I began to swim off, knowing that he would come after me. Nobody would be heartless enough to let a girl go alone into open sea. Even as a mermaid, I could easily never find land. I wasn't dissapointed. This time it was Toby who swam in front of me.

"Fine. What do you want to know"

"Why don't you talk more"

He looked completly baffled at the question. I figured it would throw him off a bit, make him more vunerable to some of my other questions. He seemed to think for a minute.

"I say only what needs to be said. Why go into useless details? And I speak more than enough, in my opinion it is you who speaks too much, not me who speaks too little"

"I'm not even going to comment on that one. Do you live in the water, or are we going to a deserted island, or what? I know you can't tell me the exact coordinates or anything, but even a general idea would be nice"

"I've only worn human feet 4 times in my life. That's as much as I can tell you"

"So you live underwater? That's interesting. Is it like Atlantis or something" I asked, feeling stupid as soon as I said it.

"No, Atlantis is just a myth. Besides, that had humans, not mermaids remember"

That made sense. I felt like I was asking the wrong questions, I needed to take these from a differant angle. Maybe rather than finding about about his life in particular, I had to ask wider questions.

"Are underwater mermaids evil. No offence" I asked, hesitantly.

"Are humans evil? Some are, some aren't. It's exacaly the same with mermaids. And in a way, you are one of us. Are you evil?"

"So am I one of you?"

Toby seemed to think about his answer for a while, and looked at me curiously. I felt a bit uncomfortable, as if he could see straight through me.

"I like your eyes" he said, and sunk straight down underwater.

I looked down at the water, and thought about his blue eyes. Then I figured out that he was just trying to distract me so he wouldn't answer. And only then did I remember that he went underwater. I guess we are here now. Or maybe he was trying to ignore me?

"Wait" I yelled, and submerged myself.

The water seemed almost black the deeper I went. I could see dark shadows moving around me, twisted into impossible shapes, making it hard to distinguish between immagination and reality. I did see a faint blue glimmer if I looked down however, and hoping it was him, I just kept on going down.

After those black layers, the water turned a light blue, my exact eye colour in fact. There was a reef below my feet, but it seemed to be cut into, making it seem a bit ragged and ugly. I wondered if I was on the outskirts of Toby's home. Speaking of which, where was Toby?

I looked around the colorful reef, but there was no sign of his saphire tail anyway. So now what was I supposed to do. I guess my father would say to stay where I am and wait for help, but who am I to do that? I decided to have a look around the reef for any clues as to where I was.

Throughout the reef, there were various bits of rubble and rubbish mixed in with the coral. I saw a couple of giant, hollowed out piles of coral, which could have almost been homes. However, there was no furniture or people anywhere in site. I decided that maybe the area had been abandoned for some reason, or that they had relocated. Which means that I was swimming in the wrong direction.

Just as I was about to turn back, a giant dome caught my attention. It was for some reason perched on top of a giant cruise liner, I suppose it must have sunk at some point. As I swam closer, I saw the title of the boat and burst out laughing. Well, bubbles came out, but all the same I was giggling. This would be one to tell the girls about. Written on the side of the boat was the name.

Titanic

Of cource Titanic is in the mermaid city. That makes total sense. Not. I mean, I'm pretty sure people still go down to the ruin of the Titanic, to see what it was like and stuff. This entire city seemed slightly dim, in my opinion. They call their children names like Sandy, and they have the Titanic.

Is this some sort of joke?

I wish I had my underwater camera, I would have loved to take a picture with Jack! I guess I'd just keep the memory! With a smile, I decided to go and see what was inside the dome. The inside of the ship was pretty boring to be honest, just rotting wood and endless identical rooms. As I got closer to the top of the ship though, I began to see signs of the mermaids.

There were statues made out of various coloured corals, mainly of mermaids of cource. I wondered if it was meant to be their ancestors or something. There was some sort of camera in the corner of the room, though it was facing away from me so I guessed it must have been broken or abandoned.

As I finally got to the dome, my body suddenly turned completly dry. I fell onto my hands and knees, only feeling the exhaustion when not in my tail. I looked around the room slowly, taking in everything there was to see. There were a bunch of machines, as to their function I had no idea. There was a giant chair straight in front of me, and in the centre of the room was a giant square box. I had to see what was inside it.

I slowly walked over towards the box and looked inside. Lying there silently, lay Charlotte. Her eyes were closed and she was paper white. Her once deep red hair looked almost scarlet in the light, and her hands were clenched tightly together.

After staring for a while, horrified, I ran up to the box and began pounding it, trying to break it open.

With a start, Charlotte eyes opened. She looked around confused, and locked eyes with me. She began to let out a silent scream, and began to whack on the glass. I felt a bubbling panic inside of me, but I was careful not to let it show. I didn't want to freak out Charlotte any more than she already was, so I just continued to bang on the glass.

Charlotte suddenly stopped moving and just stared at me, completly silent. I felt a prescence behind me, and I spun around. Standing behind me, was a huge man. His skin was the darkest black, yet his hair was a pale blonde. Man, he was ripped I thought to myself.

He spoke.

"Welcome home, Rikki Chadwick"

Charlotte just stared at me.

And I finished, on a nice dramatic note I hope you enjoyed my newest addition, I know I enjoyed writing it. So tell me who you want to hear from, don't forget one Emma, one Cleo and two Rikki POVs left to choose from. Pick wisely. By the way, until I get 4 reviews, I am not going to post anything out. And one more thing, WillowSuzzaGleee, I don't know when you'll get this. But just so you know, you are a few chapters behind haha. Didn't know if you knew
