The three mermaids glided through the water in the area where teddy, their young sea turtle friend, had said that he saw two monsters appear the night before.
"There's nothing over here!" Rikki called shifting through the sand.
"Nothing over here either!" Emma added tossing a few shells aside.
"Well here's something" Cleo shouted, carefully holding up a piece of strange glass.
The other two swam to her side, looking at the large circular patch of similar cracked bluish crystal.
"What the heck is it?" Emma questioned, taking a piece for herself up and taping it testingly. A satisfactional, melodic ping sounding through the shallow water. "I guess that it's some kind of sea glass" Cleo stated, "but it usually doesn't form in large quantities like this, or under water this far away from the tide line."
"You think maybe Lewis might be able to find out what it is at least?" Rikki questioned, the red-head dropping the shard she held "its about the only thing out of the ordinary around here and doesn't look like there's any sign of those 'monsters' that Teddy was talking about."
"Geeze, what's with all the paranormal activity lately, first those specters and now sea monsters?" Emma exasperated.
"Oh, come on guys ghosts and phony stuff like that doesn't-" Cleo started, but daring looks from the red-head and blond convinced her not to continue unless she wanted to be flashed with the mermaid fact again.
"Forget it" she said simply "I'll go find Lewis again, Teddy said that whatever they were, they headed to shore, and this is the only thing we've found that even points to something unusual happening here, even if it's just a coincidence."
Emma nodded "Then I'll go back to the reef and ask everyone if they know anything else about it" the blond volunteered "we'd better hurry too, it's going to get dark pretty soon" she remarked.
Rikki's eyes went wide as she realized that Emma was right, the sunlight above the water beginning to turn into an evening orange. "Oh, crud!" the red-head panicked strongly stoking with her tail through the water and propelling herself towards land with Cleo calling after "Rikki! Where are you going?" the fiery mermaid pausing a moment to shout back "I promised my folks that I'd be back before dinner tonight, I'll catch up with you guys later!". Then she shot off again, swimming for the small shallow cove almost next to where she lived to return herself back to normal. She kept a watchful eye out as her tail dried with the help of her powers to quicken the pace in her rush, the glittering crimson fin transforming back to her usual legs.
Thankfully due to the early evening hour not many people would be out, none but her outside the small housings at this time.
The young red-head girl stepped off the sand and onto the more solid razed ground, making for her home. But a glancing slight of an oddly familiar truck and the sound of someone banging against metal with a hammer drew her interest.
Super late and short I know and you'er free to yell at me with a review but for now
