We were so screwed.

I knew the second, no, millisecond that we hit the water and I heard Blake come in after us. We didn't have enough time to speed away…

We all turned to him, guilty looks on our faces. He looked like a fish, his eyes looking as if they were going to pop out of his head. He shrieked, and bubbles of air came out of his throat. He realized he needed air so he swam to the surface. We followed.

Once he was out of the water, he ran far away from us onto the beach, where we couldn't reach him. "Get away from me!" he shouted, looking scared. I just snorted as Bella and Lainey looked worried when we surfaced and were lying there in our tails.

"Really?" I asked him sarcastically as I rolled my eyes. "You beg us to tell you our secret and this is how you react? Gosh, well now you know why we didn't tell! You never disappoint, Blake." I flopped my tail around cuz I could tell it kinda creeped him out. I held back a giggle.

"Well, the last thing on my mind was that you guys were mermaids!" He said, sort of angry. In the corner of my eye I saw Lainey. She looked like she was about to cry. I felt bad for her. She had told us she had dreams about this happening before, and they were always nightmares. I could see now why. She looked as if she was about to break in half.

"Well, sorry if we disappointed you!" spat out Lainey in an angry tone I've never heard her use. "I'm leaving guys. Have fun dealing with that thing." She indicated towards Blake before diving into the water and speeding towards the moon pool.

I turned back to Blake and saw he was pale.

"How dare you?" screeched Bella as she climbed onto shore and dried herself off. I saw Blake was about to ask how she was doing it before she interrupted him "You bastard! Did you even realize how much she liked you?" She was fully dried off now and was marching up to him, her hands on her hips. I sat back to watch the fireworks.

"She… liked me… like that?" asked Blake in awe. "I never knew…"

"Would it even had made a difference?" asked Bella angrily. "Because you were only concerned about finding out our stupid secret, and this is how you react once you did find out? You are unbelievable!" I let out a low whistle under my breath.

"I'm… I'm sorry…" said Blake, scared. I would be scared too. Bella was on a rampage and I felt sorry for any bloke who would try to stop her.

"Sorry doesn't cut it!" screeched Bella. "Lainey's going to be a wreck for weeks now, because of you!" He was finally silent.

"I really am sorry." He said shakily. "I didn't mean to hurt her…" Even Bella calmed down a little as she saw how heartbroken his face was. "Do you think… do you think I could talk to her?" Bell and I looked at each other and shook our heads.

"I don't think so," I said. "She'd probably just control your blood to come spurting out of your mouth."

"She can do that?" He asked.

"Oh yes." I said. "She can control water with her mind. One of the many perks of being a mermaid."

"So there are other perks?" he asked, doubtful.

"Well, if you include holding your breath for up to an hour, swimming faster than dolphins and having powers, then yes. There are other perks." Said Bella. I snorted again.

"Wow," he said impressed. "What are your powers?" he asked us.

"Let me demonstrate," I volunteered as I scooted over in the water a bit. He watched intently as I froze a section of the water right next to me.

"No way!" he gasped.

"Oh please!" said Bella, bragging. "My power beats the heck out of your power!" she walked up and melted my ice and then set the water on fire. I could tell she was proud of herself for doing that one. I know she's been practicing it quite a lot.

"That's so cool," said Blake in awe. "But… I still want to talk to her."

Bella and I sighed. "Well, if you're trying to commit suicide, go ahead. We'll swim you there, if you'd like." Said Bella.

"Ummm… sure…" he said uneasily.

"Great!" I said in a sarcastic tone. "Let's go get you killed now!"

Bella walked into the sea to join me, who was still in the waves, and we dived in. Blake followed after and grabbed onto us as we swam towards Mako.

(A/N: So this was another short one. I know you are probably getting sick of the short chapters but that's how it goes! Well I'll have the next one up hopefully by tomorrow. Hope you enjoyed! Don't forget to review! Peace!)
