Chapter 14
*****Zac*****
Lyla was hurt. That hurt Zac. He broke his promise. he stormed off while Rita was healing her. He smiled wickedly. He stormed off. He hated himself for finding entertainment in Lyla's pain. How could he? She didn't even know that he actually hoped she would die for a second. Lyla would be better off without him. He knew just how to do it too.

I haven't seen Zac for days. I went to go look for him. When I reached his apartment I opened the door and walked right in. I gasped there on the floor was sea foam. Zac had died! I couldn't process this. I cried my silent cry. How could he do this to me. I became furious. As my silent scream became loud and clear. I was furious with him. I bolted out of the apartment and ran towards the water and jumped right in. I swam as far away from Mako as I could. Never stopping until I reached a place they had called Hawaii. I was soon surrounded by a group of mermaids. "Who are you?" They asked cautiously. "I am Lyla from the Mako Pod. I wish to join a new pod. Mine has banished me."I responded loudly. "Mako? Really? Are you the one we've been expecting?" the crowd gasped. "I'm sorry what are you talking about?"I asked but was completely ignored as they placed a crown above my head and pulled me towards this dazzling undersea kingdom. As I entered I realized I was breathing under water! They led me to the castle. Then pushed me in front of someone. A merman was their pod leader?! I thought of Zac. They bowed at him. No he was their king! "My king we have brought you the queen of Mako. The one from the prophecy who will one day lead us to regain our rightful land!" A mermaid had said. "Yes, yes. She is a quite beautiful specimen." The king said as he circled around me. "What is your name, my queen." he asked. "I am Lyla. Why do you ask?" I said. He looked at me because I questioned him. "A very interesting smart response." He said examining me. "I declare her my queen. Bow before Queen Lyla." He said as his voice lingered on my name. He swam over and placed a ring on my finger. I looked at it. It was gold with a pearl placed at the top of it. I would have loved it if I knew more about this merman, and if I loved him. He swam closer to me and said. "Accept and live. Decline and die." I lingered my eyes on his for a moment. They looked oddly familiar. "I accept the proposal. I will continue my days as your queen and whatever and stuff." I mumbled. "She accepts!" The king declared. I examined him. He looked about my age, with handsome features. He had brown hair, lightly tanned skin, and a sea green colored eyes. He was very handsome I could admit that. " What is your name my king?" I asked as I bowed down to him. "Arise my lovely. You are in no need for those sort of introductions. We are as equals as long as your heart stays true to ME. As you must know though I am King Tyler. You may call me Tyler." he whispered in my ear. The ceremony was soon to follow as we were married. I knew I hated this but it was important if I ever wanted to forget about Zac.

Lyla was gone! I heard a long scream from the inside of my apartment then I saw Lyla bolt towards the water and swim away really fast. i had chased her of course. I followed her for days. She never stopped it seemed. When I didn't see a trail any longer I saw a shark eating a mermaid below. I gasped. "Lyla!" I had shouted. I swam North. Then I ran into a pod of mermen a couple of days later. The excepted me as one of there own and soon later on I had gained their trust. I soon became they're new king. I stopped thinking about Lyla. My life was better it seemed. I was finally happy but I knew she was still missing from my life. After a while I forgot her name so I just referred to her as 'she'. I told the boys about my heart break and why you shouldn't get caught up with them because they will surely break your heart more than once. That was why I told them to never trust a mermaid when you see one. They will just hurt you so you should hurt them first.
