-Early Morning-
Lewis knew that tonight, all the planets were aligned with the moon. Max had given them all the warning to keep away from Mako. But with the added information Luna had given to Sam, who then told them. They knew it wouldn't work on them the same way. Lewis was so caught up in his thoughts that he crashed into something or rather someone. He fell down along with the one he crashed into.
"Cam!" A male's voice exclaimed.
"I am so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. Here let me give you a hand." Lewis said as he picked himself up off the ground and helped up the younger teen off the ground. He had sandy blonde hair and storm grey eyes. The other boy had dark brown hair and light brown eyes. Lewis saw the paper in their hands.
"My name is Lewis McCartney. Anything I can help you with?" He questioned the two.
"Nice to meet you Lewis, I am Zac Blakely." The one with the dark brown hair said.
"And I am Cam Mitchell the guy you knocked into." The sandy blonde haired added jokingly .
Both shook hands with Lewis and explained that they were on a school trip and they were comparing things to where they lived.
Lewis led them on a tour, as they made their list, by the time they were finished, Zac and Cam had more than enough for school.
Lewis told them he was going to head out, and the three exchanged their numbers, seeing as the three of them became close in such the little time they had spent in each other company.
-Secluded beach in the Afternoon -
"Why did you want to see me Cindie?" Samantha asked her step sister, not really trusting the power hungry fake mermaid. The temptation to feed the brat to her m-raptors was really strong at the moment.
Cindie put on her best 'good girl' act and tried her best to get Samantha on her side. She knew that with Samantha on her side the others would have no choice, but to follow her!
But Cindie had underestimated how much Samantha knew about what she had done to the others. Not to mention Ronnie, Samantha's favorite dolphin.
So she had come up with another plan a plan B to get Samantha out of the way tonight and at the same time Bella and Charlotte!
"Take this!" Cindie shrieked and threw a pouch full of some kind of powder at Samantha, who had no way of deflecting it in time. Laughing insanely the blonde left the beach, leaving an unconscious Samantha laying on the beach.

About an hour before the moon was going to rise Zac and Cam were walking around looking for Lewis, he had answered one of their text, but the calls went unanswered and to be honest they might not have known him for that long, but they knew Lewis has his phone on and he wasn't answering.
They found him a little later, he was tied up and out cold inside his boat, Zac and Cam ran over to him and started to untie him but they felt a sharp pain and then they were out.
XXXX
Cindie had sent a text message to all the other mermaids and their guys that she had hostages and she wanted only Cleo, Emma and Rikki to meet her at the moon pool before the moon was overhead. And she let Bella and Charlotte know where to find Samantha.
Which is why Bella and Charlotte ran towards Samantha's unconscious form, fearing for the worse. They couldn't believe that Cindie would go as far as to try and poison Sam to get what she wanted.
"Let's get her to Armorel. It's closer and that way we don't have to explain to anyone what is going on." Bella suggested as the two mermaids gently took hold of Samantha's arms.
"Lead the way." Charlotte said quietly, she was afraid that what ever Cindie did to Sam would be fatal.
-Armorel-
Charlotte and Bella helped a semi conscious Samantha inside the mansion. The normally strong willed mermaid was shivering like she was freezing and her skin sure felt like it! The three mermaids entered the library.
"She's freezing!" Bella exclaimed as the two mermaids placed Samantha on a couch that happened to be in front a fire place. "What did Cindie throw on her?!" The normally shy mermaid seemed ready to strangle someone.
"I don't know." Charlotte whispered and cringed when Sam moaned in pain and shivered violently. "Cindie is out of her mind. Why else would she have kidnapped Lewis and threatened to kill him if you or I will go with the others." Her voice was quiet and laced with worry. "I can't believe that I was her friend."
Bella hugged Charlotte after she had placed a couple of blankets on Sam in an attempt to keep her warm. "It will be alright Charlotte. Cleo, Emma and Rikki can defeat Cindie. But right now we need to take of Sam."
It was then that Samantha opened her eyes.
*Samantha's p.o.v*
Everything is so blurry and I feel like I'm freezing from inside out. I can't believe that Cindie poisoned me!
"Sam? Can you hear us?" That voice...I blink, trying to clear my vision, but it didn't work.
"B-Bella?" Why can't I speak louder? What did that traitorous bitch use on me?
"Yeah, it's me and Charlotte. How do you feel?" Bella's voice sounded so far away even if she is right next to me.
"Cold, my vision is blurry and I can't hear properly." I manage to say before sleep claims me. 'Hopefully I will wake up again.'
*No p.o.v*
Charlotte changed a worried look with Bella right after Samantha fell asleep. Both of them felt so helpless. "I wish I could help her." Charlotte whispered, placing her hand on Sam's forehead that was cold instead of hot like during a normal fever.
"Charlotte! Your hand!" Bella exclaimed and pointed at the faint blue glow that came from Charlotte's hand.
"What? Did I do that?" Charlotte's eyes were wide as she looked at her hand that wasn't glowing anymore.
Bella touched Samantha's cheek and whispered in awe. "She's not cold anymore. I don't know what you did Charlotte, but you saved her. You saved Sam!"
-Moon pool-
Lewis bit his lip as he watched both Zac and Cam wake up from their forced nap, the courtesy of Cindie. He looked at the graced mermaid. "Why are you doing this Cindie?"
Laughing insanely Cindie explained her 'plan' to the three boys. How she had poisoned Samantha after she had refused to help. And how she planned to use the power of the full moon to make Cleo, Emma and Rikki to lose their tails & powers so she could destroy the others. "I will be the most powerful mermaid there is! And no one can stop me!" She laughed again, just as Cleo, Emma and Rikki swam into the pool, causing Zac and Mac's eyes to widen in shock. The poor boys looked ready to faint.
"This ends now Cindie!" Cleo shouted as Rikki used her powers to create steam while drying them up. The three mermaids stepped out of the steam cloud, giving Lewis a chance to free himself and the younger teens.
"Don't mess with magic Cindie. It can get out of control." Lewis taunted the insane girl after he saw that Cleo, Emma and Rikki had seen the full moon and strengthened their magic with it.
Long story short, Cindie lost the fight and her tail. As she was floating in the pool, sobbing Cindie failed to notice that Aqua the youngest Marine Raptor had surfaced behind her. But when she did she screamed before fainting. Not liking at the loud noise at all Aqua dove back into the water and left to find either her sisters or her 'mother'.
-Next day, Morning-
The next day the group of teens sat in the yet to be opened JuiceNet, they were talking.
"Are you sure we can trust them?" Rikki asked, no one who know she was worried unless you hung around her all the time. And this is what everyone saw, a worried Rikki.
"Yes Rikki we can trust them. After I explained them the whole story, they both promised me that they would keep your secret. And they said it was the least they could do, seeing as you three saved them." Lewis answered her, this calmed all gathered nerves.
"What about Cindie?" Bella questioned lightly, she didn't like the thought of going to the same school with her, knowing about them being mermaids. It would cause trouble for them.
"Well about that. I told mom and dad, all about what happened, because they had asked and told me to tell them the complete truth and not to leave anything out. Like Sam did when she told them about our secret." Cleo started to smile sweetly -to sweet to be innocent and it made all the guys to be on edge. "Well let's say she won't be around here anymore."
"Hey where's Sam?" Emma asked, she hadn't see her all day.
"Oh she is re-doing the house up, she moved all of our stuff out of it and then she kicked mom and dad out along with me, Kim and Angela." Cleo told them.
"I was designing it for the 2 grownup Cleo, stop trying to make me seem shady!" Sam's voice called from behind the group. "Besides we are going to be living in Armorel, while mom and dad live in the newly made up home."
Samantha told them with a smirk.
This had everyone laughing.
