A Glimpse of Hope II
A few Days Later
Cleos POV
Ah! Kim is driving me crazy! Well I'm sorry it takes me so long in the bathroom! You would too if you had a tail that needed to dry! GOD!
I'm going for a swim.
I swam really fast, to vent all my anger out, so I missed seeing all the sea life. Which was a shame. I decided to swim to the beach, rather than the moonpool. I waited to dry, then I went for a walk; I haven't actually had a proper look around the island yet.
I was enjoying myself, then all of a sudden, there was a splash, a shouted "SHIT!", then a thud. I ran towards where the sound had come from,
"STOP!" The voice shouted, but this time I recognised it; Rikki.
"It's okay," I replied walking forwards. Rikki was laying on the floor, with her tail on full display. She had panic written all over her face, But as soon as she saw me, the panic disappeared.
"Oh. It's only you." She replied, making her hand into a fist, and her legs were back within a second.
"What are you doing her?" I asked, looking round. There was a sleeping bag, and a fire.
"Well as there was nowhere for me to stay, I'm going to live here."
"What?! What about food? Or Shelter? Or Water? Or..Toilets?"
"Hello? Mermaid, Fire and heat power? I just have to swim to the mainland to go to the loo. Or squat in a bush."
"Gross! You can't stay here?"
"And why not?"
"It's not..Safe"
"Mmmm, And living with my dad was safe was it?" She spat. "But I survived him didn't I? Now if you don't mind" She said turning away from me, I could tell she was trying to hide herself from me, as she was crying. "I have some fish that need cooking."
"Bye.."I replied. I need to tell someone, And I know just who that someone is.
"Zane?"
He turned around from the pool table.
"Yeah?"
"Can I talk to you for a minute..In private?"
Someone wolfwhistled.
"Aw, Rikki not good enough for you Zane?" Somebody shouted. Zane turned around sharply.
"Don't you dare.." He spat.
We sat down in one of the booths at the back.
"What is it? Is there something wrong with my Rikki?"
"Well, Yeah.."
"Come on then!" He said, jumping to his feet.
"Zane! Listen to me!
"What?" He sat down again.
"Well, as Emma has moved, Rikki has no place to stay..I mean, we don't have enough room, so at the moment, she has set up a little camp at Mako..And I don't like the sound of I as wondering, Y'know..If.."
"She could stay with me? Oh God yeah! Why didn't she ask me in the first place?"
"Uh. Have you forgotten the fact that fr some strange reason your dad hates her?"
"Oh yeah..Well he's going to have to live with it, Won't he? Besides, you can't really hate her now, can you?"
"Thanks Zane. Can you bring her back to yours now?" I said, I really don't want her out there on her own, I just have a bad feeling about it.
"Sure. Thanks for telling me. Bye."Zane left for the docks.
Okay. I'm getting annoyed.
I'm am getting so many chat speak written; "Dey r lyk 2 short" In reviews. So, if people bothered to read the authors notes and bits at the end of chapters, they would find out that I said; That first of all, I write my stories on A4 PAPER BY HAND. Then secondly, I said I KNOW they are SHORT, and I will UPDATE REGULARLY.
So, anyway, thanks for the people who post meaningful reviews.
Sorry if I sound harsh, I'm just really really annoyed at the moment, and I know it is not your fault.
I have anger issues.
ROFL xDD
