Chapter Seven
At the town meeting.
"Ok, we asked you here today, to ask who will stand by our side and take down those freaks once and for all." Dr. Denman asked.
"Do you think anyone's going to help them?" Nate asked Zane.
"I doubt it; I mean they must have realise…" Zane was saying.
"Why would we help you?" One of the people said. Zane and Nate just looked at one another.
"Well…" Lewis said, not knowing what to say.
"Because they can wipe us out, that's what." Both Miriam and Charlotte shouted out.
"If they were going to wipe us out, wouldn't they have done that already?" another person in the crowd said. Zane and Nate were surprised to what they were hearing; they actually didn't expect anyone to stand up for the mer people.
"You do realise that, you're the one who exposed them right? They've been hiding for so long, so this would not happen. They don't want a war, or anyone hurt for that matter, you're the ones who blew their secret." Another citizen pointed out. That's when the mer hunter's realised no one was on their side.
"We should go." Nate told Zane.
"Yeah, the girls would want to hear this." Zane said, they then left and headed back to the café, where the girls were waiting.
"Hey, so what happened?" Rikki and Emma asked, getting up from their seat. Cleo, Bella and Bellerose got up.
"No one wants to help them." Zane said.
"Why?" Bella and Cleo said.
"Because if it wasn't for them, we would've never been exposed, the people must have realised that." Bellerose said.
"Yeah, people spoke up for you. We should probably find a way to thank you them." Nate said. We all agreed that we would eventually thank you the people of the Gold Coast. But after the mer hunters were dealt with.
