Ok Just thought I'd clear up relationships.
Rikki: Married to someone named Charles, has two kids. (In my story, she does not, and never will, have feelings for Zane. Sorry Zikki fans, but security reasons. You'll see.
Zane: Not married, has a boy named Ethan who is the Same age as girls.(He is not Rikki's kid!)
Cleo and Lewis: Married, gave one kid
Will: Has one child, not married
I will post new relationships as they come
Also, yes I really like to have my name in my stories. Get over it. Also, this time it has a great backstory.
Bella's P.O.V
Bella dove Into the water, flicking her tail to gain speed. As she neared the reef, she slowed, floating down towards the sea bed, to look at a pretty pink shell. Picking it up, she turned it in her hand, and slipped it into her bag. A rush of bubbles flew past her and she looked up just in time to catch a glimpse of blue looking scales. She blinked, surprisedAnother mermaid? Was her first thought. But another followed, reminding her that mermaids had orange tails. Not giving it much more thought, she continued to pick up pretty shells. Hearing a splash, Bella looked up, seeing Lalita dive into the water, Teri soon following. Fear overtaking her, she flicked her tail, trying to swim away. That was too close.
OoOoOoOoOoO
Bella lay on the beach, finally dry. After her close call, she had swam to the spot James had shown her to dry off. Footsteps sounded, and she gave a halfhearted wave. "Hey James."
He sat next to her, his warm brown eyes searching her face. "Somethin' the matter?"
Bella hoisted herself up on her elbows. "Yes. They almost saw me." His eyes widened. "And," she held up a finger. "I saw a blue tail. I thought it was a mermaid, but we have orange tails, so maybe it was a merman?"
His Mouth dropped, and a strangled noise came from his mouth. "No." He whispered.
He stood up, running his hands through his hair and pacing. "Nononono, not good. Not good!" James moaned.
Bella sat up. "What?"
James didn't seem to hear her, and continued pacing. "I can't believe someone saw me. And Bella of all people!"
Bella gasped. "What? Saw… You?" The wheels turning in her head, she figured it out. "You!" She said louder, pointing a finger at hihim.
That got his attention. "Shoot. "He muttered.
Bella's face morphed into a scowl. "You lying son of a witch! You're a- a- a merman!"
James winced. "Yes."
Bella growled. "You don't a
even defend yourself?"
James gave a small smile. "No point in lying now."
She slapped him. "What the hell, Man? I trusted you!"
"Exactly. You trusted me. " He said matter-of-factly.
She slapped him again. "Really? I trusted you with the biggest secret I've got, but not you me?"
"I wanted to tell you, but my mom didn't want me too. Not yet, anyway.." He said softly.
Bella gaped at him. "Your parents know?"
James nodded. "I was born a merman. So of course they know."
Bella blinked slowly. "Born, hmm? Interesting. So your mother was a mermaid before."
James gave her a weird look. "Yes. How did you know?
She smiled at him. "I was born one too. Remember?"
James frowned. "No I don't."
Bella tapped her chin. "Huh. Thought I told you." The scowl came back. "Anyway. So you're a merman?" She asked.
James nodded timidly.
She gave a sharp nod. "Show me."
He sat down, and put his feet in the water. Ten seconds passed, and a glimmer signified a tail appearing. His top was gone, revealing
Oh his toned and muscled stomach. From his waist down, there was a blue taIL.
Bella gasped, and reached her hand down to touch it.
A sly smirk spread across his face, and he grabbed her wrist, pulling her into the water. As her tail appeared, he pulled her along in the water. Through the blue sea water, he saw his wide grin as he smiled at her. Moments later they arrived at the pool at Mako. Bella gasped when she saw it
"It's beautiful!" She gasped.
James nodded. "My mom showed it to me."
"Wow." She whispered in wonder.
Voices sounded. "I don't understand why we didn't just look for it under water."
Bella shot a terrified look at James. "Teri." She hissed. James nodded and grasped her hand. They slipped under the surface and swam through the tunnel.
Teri's P.O.V
Teri stepped into the moon pool cavern, grumbling under her breath. As she looked up, she caught a glimpse of an orange tail, and a blue tail. The look on Lalita's face said she had seen it too. Teri slowly faced Lalita. "Those were other mermaids." This was not a question.
Hey! It's me, Bella. Look, I don't know if anybody is reading this, but will you please review? Just to let me know you're there? Thanks.
Bella out!
