No p.o.v

Bev waited until everyone was sitting comfortably before starting her story. "It all started when me and Don found out I was expecting twins. At the time Don was struggling with his business so we had no other choice but place one of you in adoption. I knew Gracie was my mother's friend during their youth so I contacted her. I'll spare you the details of the process, but when the time came to say goodbye to you Samantha I refused to be there. I simply couldn't bare to see you go. So I resulted to going through my mother's belongings. That's how I found her journal that told everything about mermaids. I was waiting for one of you to tell me on their own."

Cleo, Emma and Rikki all looked uncomfortable, knowing that there was someone who could have helped them before.

Samantha cleared her throat to brake the tension in the room. "Mom did you know that the locket Rikki is wearing belonged to grandma? Cleo has Gracie's locket and Emma has Miss Chatham's locket. My locket comes from the different set and Kim has another. The third one is still missing."

"I always wondered what happened to mom's locket. It's good to know it's in good hands." Bev smiled at Rikki. "Now it's also about time you know about your cousin."

"Cousin? What cousin?" Cleo asked suspiciously, she didn't want anymore surprises.

"Why Ash Dove of course." Bev stated like it was obvious.

"WHAT?!" Samantha, Cleo, Kim, Rikki, Emma and Elliot yelled.

"Never a dull moment." Samantha whispered to Kim, who could only nod her head.

Ash's p.o.v

My awesome day just turned into a nightmare. First I learned that Cleo and Samantha are my cousins. Sure it was surprise, but in a nice way.

Then that airheaded surfer wannabe asked Emma's help with swimming problems. And he dragged Samantha with them.

A quick pleading look from my new found cousin had me following them, which I would have done anyway. I don't trust that guy with Emma nor Samantha. Add water and we have trouble.

*at the pool*

Why did that idiot drag Samantha here to begin with? Emma was in the swim team but...Oh hell no! If that creep thinks he can ask Samantha out then- Okay never knew I could be this protective over anyone else, but Emma.

No p.o.v

"What the hell did you just call me you b***!?" Byron yelled to Samantha, who had just refused to go out with him.

"I called you j***. Did you get water in your ears?" Samantha shot back, getting more irritated by the minute.

"That's it!" Byron pushed Samantha into the pool then storming the hell out of there.

Samantha's p.o.v

'Oh nonononono! This is not good! There are people coming!'

I just happened to look up through my hair. What I saw almost gave me heart attack!

'S*** that's Destiny! I hope she didn't see my tail, against the blue bottom my white tail practically shines in comparison. Emma and Ash better hurry up. The pools chlorine is starting to hurt and there is no oxygen in pool water.'

My head is starting to throb, which can't be good.

'S***.'

Ash's p.o.v

"Ash, I'll try to stall Destiny and Tiffany for a while. Call the others to help get Sam out of the pool." Emma whispered to before she hurried off.

"S***." I mumbled pulling out my phone. "Zane? I need and you Lewis here asap! That idiot Byron just pushed Samantha into the pool and there are people coming. Emma is trying to stall Destiny and Tiffany, but she can't do it forever.

'Calm down Ash we'll be there soon. Good thing too that we are nearby.' Zane cut the call.

After a quick look around I made sure no one was looking I dived in the water. There was no way I could wait for Lewis and Zane to arrive. Samantha just appeared at the bottom and she's not moving. The chlorine must have done something to her if she tried to breath.

Two splashed made me look up. To my relief it was only Zane and Lewis. Together we hauled Samantha out of the pool.

"Stay still guys." Rikki said, at least giving us warning before she used to dry us off.

"What happened?" Cleo demanded, but I was not in a mood to talk.

"Later." I grunted scooping Samantha up. "Where to?"

Emma then came running towards. "My place is closest. Only Elliot is home, but he knows."

No p.o.v

Everyone was gathered in Emma's room, waiting for Samantha to wake.

"So Byron thinks he can win against me in 100 meter swim competition? Not a chance." Zane said with a wink towards Rikki. "Unless he trains with a mermaid he wont stand a chance."

Cleo didn't even listen to what others were talking about or what they were going to about Byron. She only had her eyes on her twin at the moment.

"What if Destiny saw something? She kept asking me weird questions after Tiffany left." Emma said silencing everyone in the room. "Zane could you keep an eye on her?"

"No problem." Zane nodded.

Tiffany's P.O.V

-In the public Library-

I growled in frustration as I looked threw another book on Marine life/animals.

I have been looking for the thing that had saved my life, well not only my life but that of Miriam and Destiny.

But All I know is it was orange and looked almost like a dolphin's tail. I told Miriam what I had seen but, She turned up her nose and walked away.

Telling me that she didn't care. Destiny on the other hand told me that it must have been some kind of Marine Animal, but if it was then Why can't I find it?

Speaking of odd, Emma said that she and Zane had found us drifting in the water, and They had dragged us to sore.

I had asked her if she saw anything but she gave me a look that just screamed 'You are crazy' and I dropped it.

I let out a long sigh and grabbed my cell and called Destiny.

I asked her if she wanted to got to the Swimming pool.

She had said she was just about to call and ask the same question, and that she had already asked Miriam but the answer was a no.

After we chatted a little while I hung up and got on my swim suit.

As we got there Byron ran right into us. He didn't even say sorry.

I was closer to the pool when I caught sight of something white and that looked familiar at the bottom of the pool I couldn't remember where I saw it ,but before I got closer to get a better look.

Emma called us over. when we went over to her.

She asked if we'd seen Byron.

I answered her telling her the truth... well after about five minutes of telling her that it wasn't her business.

She had asked if we could tell Byron that she no longer what's to train him for the swimming torment and that after what he did he was on his own.

I nodded in agreement, I was happy because now I can tell Miriam that she can swoop in and nab him.

As I walked away. I heard Destiny asking Emma about what sea life was in these waters.

After I texted Miriam , I remembered why the thing in the pool looked so familiar to me... it almost the same as the orange thing that saved us from death! I turned around and ran back to the pool, but by the time I got there, it- whatever it was- was gone.

Damnit! I was so close!

This made me even more determined to find out what it was!

What if the orange one could move from sea to land? I must find out what it is, before the end of summer... Which is in a week!

I Better get to work!

ME: I have to say that I think that Tiffany is the smarter of the two (Miriam and Tiffany). If Miriam took what Tiffany said to heart about her costume for the Miss Sea Queen thingy then maybe she would have been the queen and not Tiffany. Anyway please leave a review and let us know what you think!
