-Chapter 1: A Day that will be Remembered
Arnold's POV
The day started like most, I was sneaking out of the castle as usual. I ran over to the beach to meet Gerald near the shore. You see, Gerald and I always meet at the beach, it's our daily tradition. It gives time for Gerald to swim and time for me to set up the the boat to go to our secret spot. Our secret stop is a place is a beautiful cave right above the ocean, the water is clear and beautiful. Sometimes mermaids come there to rest or peek their heads above the water for a second. All in all, it's the perfect place to relax and enjoy yourself without interruptions plus it's the greatest place to spend time with my bestfriend Gerald. Since I starting training, I barely have the time for anything.
I set up the boat and waited. Where's Gerald? He should be here by now. I thought as I sat in the boat and started the motor. I just wait for him by the cave. I was too busy fixing stirring the boat to see the dark clouds advancing. To see the first sign of a big storm. The Wind Howled as I got to my destination. I stopped the boat and got out to go inside the cave and closed my eyes.
Gerald's POV;
Where is Arnold? I gotta tell him about the storm, I gotta hurry and stop him before he leaves. I thought as I swam the fastest I ever swam. On my way I bumped into Phoebe. I never admit to anyone but I think the beautiful fish is appealing, I really like her. It's good thing, a mermaid named Helga helped her to turn her to a mermaid so, I could atleast have a chance with her but I'm sure she doesn't like me. Phoebe stared at me with big worried eyes and murmured "Have you seen Helga? There's a storm, and I know she's somewhere here, I got separated from her, please help me Gerald." She sighed then blushed when I took her hand and smiled. "Don't worry, we'll find Helga, and hopefully Arnold too." I replied as her eyes widened with more worry for Arnold, Helga could breath under the water, Arnold hasn't learned that and never will too.
Suddenly Phoebe and I came to a clearing where the boat should be. There was no Arnold or Helga. I sighed and knew it was too late. I told Phoebe to get help and swam to the cave, hoping I'd get there before it was too late.
Regular POV
Arnold relaxed and closed his eyes. He soon fell asleep, he was awakened by a beautiful voice, singing a song of some kind. He smiled and opened his eyes, there on the rock, stood the most beautiful mermaid, he ever saw. She had long flowing blood hair and crystal blue eyes that matched the ocean. As Arnold stared at the mermaid, the storm broke loose. The mermaid screamed as she was thrown back by a huge wave. Arnold ran and peered his head out of the cave. Lightning flashing and huge wave hit him hard. Soon the world darken to Arnold as he got knocked out and fell silently to the bottom of the Sea.
-End of Chapter 1
Chapter 2: The meeting/the beginning
Helga's POV
One moment I was singing, the next I was thrown back into the ocean. I swam back to the surface to watch in horror as a handsome man was swept away by the waves. I Dow after him and found him innocuous near the bottom of the sea. I grabbed and with all my strength pulled him to the surface. I dragged him into the cave and smiled at him but his eyes wouldn't open. I panicked, I didn't know what to do so, I sang. As I stared at his handsome face with his blond hair and green eyes. I knew he was the guy from my dreams so I began to sing to him so he will always remember me and show me his beautiful eyes.
Baby, I knew at once that you were meant for me
Deep in my soul I know that I'm your destiny
Though you're unsure why fight the tide
Don't think so much, let your heart decide
Baby, I see your future and it's tied to mine
I look in your eyes and see you searching for a sign
But you'll never fall till you let go
Don't be so scared of what you don't know
(Chorus:)True to your heart
You must be true to your heart
That's when the heavens will part
And baby, shower you with my love
Open your eyes Your heart can tell you no lies
And when you're true to your heart
I know it's gonna lead you straight to me
Someone ya know is on your side, can set you free
I can do that for you if you believe in my
Why second-guess what feels so right
Just trust your heart
And you'll see the light
(repeat chorus) Your heart knows what's good for you
Let your heart show you the way
It'll see you through
Girl, my heart is driving me to where you are
You can take both hands off the wheel and still get far
Be swept away
Enjoy the ride
You won't get lost
With your heart to guide you
(repeat chorus) When things are gettin' crazy
And you don't know where to start
Keep on believing', baby
Just be true to your heart
When all the world around you
It seems to fall apart
Keep on believing', baby
Just be true to your heart
Open your eyes.
