Chapter Three
Cleo was just sitting there, staring forward, feeling she might have caused something she doesn't know that will change their future.
Back at the Kingdom
"Who do you think the woman's voice belonged to?" Bella asked her curious cousin, Emma.
"I don't know. But we do know that the male voice belongs to Lewis, that's for sure." Emma reassured the two.
They were both just swimming around, people around them bowing to them, then swimming on.
"Hello your majesties, what brings you to these part of the kingdom?" A dolphin swimming by ask the princesses.
"We're just swimming around and taking in the beauty." Emma replied, with Bella nodding in agreement.
The dolphin just swam on while the princesses just kept swimming around.
"Hey look there's Cleo." Bella pointed out.
"Hey Cleo over here!" Emma shouted, Cleo turned around and was swimming towards the girls.
"How'd it go with Lewis?" Bella questioned.
"It was ok i guess." Was all she said.
"So i'm guessing you told him you chose the family over him. How did he take it?" Emma asked.
"Well he said ok then just got up and left." Cleo spoke.
"Then whats wrong?" Bella asked her cousin.
"I just have a bad feeling i might have caused something bad to happen." She told Emma and Bella.
"Hey guys." Rikki said swimming towards the girls.
"You said you wanted to talk to me?" Rikki said looking at Bella and Emma.
"Yeah, and since we're all here we might as well tell you now." Bella said.
"We were at the moon pool and we heard Lewis talking to someone, a female voice." Emma told the girls.
"We couldn't identify the female voice though." Bella pointed out.
"Your majesties, the king wants to speak to you." Poseidon, the kings right handman says.
The girls all looked confused but concerned at the same time. Without a word they swam towards the kingdom and swam straight into the throne room, where Don was waiting for them.
"Girls we're going back on land. Sam wants a word with all of us." Don said worriedly.
With that said the girls and Don were swimming towards shore and found a secluded beach, then they dried themselves off and went to meet Sam.
Rikki's Cafe
"Over here." Sam says putting her hands up. Lewis was with her.
"Do you think she's the female voice we heard?" Bella asks Emma.
"We don't want to jump to conclusions." Emma replied.
But just hearing Sam's voice they knew she was the woman Lewis was talking to.
"Hear me out. We're hear to get more information on the merpeople and the kingdom and we want you to give us the information." Sam stated. Don and the four girls were gobsmacked.
"You've been telling people about us?" Don asked whilst the anger inside him grew.
Sam and Lewis just nodded in confirmation.
"NO!" Rikki protested. Everyone else was still speechless. Without saying anything Don stood up and left, furious and upset.
Cleo and the girls went after him, leaving Sam and Lewis at the table.
"DAD!" Cleo shouted out. Don swiftly dived into the blue ocean, going towards the opening golden gates of the merkingdom.
That night Don was silent and didn't say a word.
The girls were in their shared room talking.
"Uncle Don was quiet the whole entire time." Rikki said.
"Knowing my dad, that usually means he's really furious and also upset, since it' Sam." Cleo pointed out, the girls nodded out in agreement.
"It's getting late." Bella spoke up.
"We should get to bed and continue this tomorrow." Emma was the last to speak.
