Here is chapter 11!

I like this chapter, if I do say so myself...


"Bella!" I yelled as I ran. I could see her ahead of me but she was running too fast for me to catch up. Suddenly Bella stopped and I shot past her. Right off a waterfall cliff side. I flew through the air toward the awaiting water.

"Edward!" Bella yelled. I flipped over just in time to see Bella launch herself off the waterfall cliff side. I hit the water with a hard and loud smack. I heard another smack before I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. She didn't pull me up she just kept us from sinking or floating. The bubbles died down around us and I saw Bella smiling at me.

I smiled back and was grateful for the lack of needing air. Bella looked absolutely beautiful underwater. Her hair flowed out around her perfectly framing her face. Her midnight blue tail was in perfect contrast to the black water around us. Her pale white skin seems to glow because of the black water. Her dark chocolate-brown eyes shining like two stars in the black night sky.

"Beautiful." I mouthed. Bella pulled me close and kissed me. Our kiss started slow and sweet but soon it started to heat up. The lack of air when kissing was useful but underwater and kissing was just too much. I reluctantly pulled away from Bella's enchanting lips and Bella looked hurt.

"Relax." I mouthed. I offered her a smile and motioned toward the surface. Bella nodded and we swam to the surface. Well, she swam to the surface and pulled me along. We broke to the surface and I filled my lungs with air. I wasn't gasping for air just adjusting to the air again.

I looked around me and didn't see Bella. I ducked underwater and saw her swimming around. She had seemed to forget about me as she swam in the water. She suddenly shot off into the water. I tried to follow her, but she was too fast.

The bubbles she was making had already died down. The water was still and dark. I suddenly felt very alone. Everything looked the same underwater. I swam to the surface and looked around. I was too far out to see the shore.

I wasn't paying attention to which way I came from. I was lost in the middle of the ocean and Bella was long gone. I didn't know what to do. I ducked underwater again and looked around me. I saw nothing but blue and black water. I didn't know exactly how far down the bottom of the ocean was, it seemed to go on forever.

"BELLA!" I yelled under the water. Would she hear me? She was a mermaid. My mouth filled with water so I broke the surface and spit it out, nearly choking on the revolting taste of the salty water.

Once I could no longer taste the salty water I ducked back under the water. I still couldn't see anything. Not that I expected to.

Bella POV...

While Edward regained his land lungs I silently slipped underwater. It was peaceful under here. I could hear the fish and eels and other animals somewhere down on the ocean floor. And I could hear something that sounded like a sweet melody.

I instinctively swam in the direction the noise came from. I could feel someone following me so I pushed myself to swim faster. Eventually, I no longer felt like I was being followed. After another minute or so I came to a strange scene.

There were 4 mer-boys fighting and messing around. We were close to the bottom of the ocean, behind the boys was a large city thing. I swam closer, curiosity getting the best of me. As I got closer I could make out lots of mermaids, mermen, mer-boys and girls.

This was a mer-city. I was home. I knew it in my heart. I swam into the city, many looking at me curiously. I looked around for someone I thought could help me.

"Excuse me, but you look lost." A voice said from behind me. I turned and saw the most handsome man I've ever seen.

He had pitch black hair that hung just in his baby blue eyes. His tail was an amazing shade of red. His very defined chest was pale and amazing soft looking. The muscles in his tail contracted and relaxed as he moved it slowly. His pink lips were full but very unfeminine.

"I... uh... I'm kinda new to this life." I said, glad the blush didn't rise to my face anymore.

"You're a newbie? Like just changed?" He asked. I nodded.

"A day or so ago." I said.

"And you're just now coming here? Most come within hours." He said to himself. Suddenly I heard a muffled sound way off in the distance.

It sounded like someone calling out 'Bella'. Wait! I'm Bella. Who would be calling me? Edward. I suddenly felt very wrong being here.


Uh-oh... Is Bella falling for the new guy?
