Mermaid Of The Huntsclan Chapter 8
On the way to Jake's home Mirana had to fight very hard against the urge to flee and not lose her nerve in the process. So many random thoughts kept running through her mind telling her over and over so many things that keep contradicting each other. The majority telling her to get out of dodge and that this is one big gigantic mistake.
Mirana is almost at the meeting point when the inkling to bolt almost becomes too much for her to bear on her own.
At this exact second the clouds disperse making the moon become visible for the first time that night. Although the moon isn't out in its once a month full glory Mirana can still feel the power radiating from it being absorbed into her body. This does add to Mirana's inner strength slowly pushing away the doubts and fears that have been plaguing her about this night since she first accepted Jake's invitation to his schools dance.

Though I'm far away across the sea
This moon keeps haunting me
As I spread my wings and soar above
It's you
You're guiding me
And the morning sun still shines on me
I feel your power, too…

By the time Mirana arrives at Jake's house most of her worries and concerns have been put to rest.
Stealing herself Mirana rings the bell on the front door in order to announce her arrival.
Here it is the moment of truth. She better not blow it.
Inside the house Jake was in the process of getting ready and being tortured by his mother Susan taking constant pictures along with his dad Jonathan repeatedly adjusting his clothes when the timely dingdong of the doorbell is heard ringing through the house.
Before Jake can get to the front door first his little sister Haley beats him to it.
As calmly as she can, Mirana said "Hi, is Jake here?"
Perkily, bouncing on her toes, Haley said "You must have the wrong house. My brothers never dated anyone as pretty as you. Actually my brothers never dated."
From where Mirana can't see him Jake balks at his sisters annoying attempts at sabotage.
Lightly laughing in surprise, Mirana said "Really? He seems so nice. I find it hard to believe he hasn't asked out anyone else before me."
Nodding enthusiastically to contradict this assessment, Haley said "Oh he's the best. He sleeps with a nightlight, picks his toes, and Mom had to send him to school with extra underwear the entire first grade. Accidents. Want to see me do a pirouette?"
Haley then twirls in place demonstrating a small pirouette.
Barging over and spinning Haley away from her, Jake said "Isn't she precious?" Jake then freezes, hearts practically taking over his eyes as she sees Mirana for the first time. Veronica really worked her magic on Mirana. She wasn't kidding when she told Mirana she looked stunning. Mirana is so beautiful. "Wow…you look great."
A light blush touching her cheeks, shifting a stray hair behind her ear as she kind of stands there flustered, Mirana said "Thank you."
Shaking himself off, not wanting to be late, briefly turning to his parents as he takes Mirana's hand to walk out the door, Jake said "Well, bye."
Susan isn't about to let them walk out of there that easy. She blocks the doorway snapping around 20 pictures in less than three seconds.
Slipping around his mother while holding Mirana's hand, Jake said "Ok, well, don't wait up!"
Mirana and Jake then run down the street.
Susan has one last bit of advice for her son.
"Be careful. Don't let the other boys sweep her off her feet," shouted Susan.
Jake groans slapping a hand over his face in embarrassment and Mirana giggles.
Authors Note:
Glad you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!
The song you see Mirana singing here is from the show Mako Mermaids Season 1 Episode Betrayal.
Hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D
I've been meaning to get back to this one for a while and only now I've managed to find time and inspiration for it. I'm very satisfied and happy about it.
Any suggestions on how Mirana might avoid Rose.
I recently put up some other works I've put out at titled Secret Of Bristol Cove, Predators Redemption, A Revolutionary Romance, Fantine Tezla: Hot Wheels Acceleracers, Magic And the Brave Little Toaster 1, Lavinia: Princess Of Edelweiss, Rorschach's Legend, Watchmen Meets Avengers: The Newest Defender, The 8th Loser, Naomi Poldark: Mistress Of Nampara, Serenity: End Guardian To The Moors, Dido Cruger: Power Rangers SPD, and Nuala: The White Lioness. I highly recommend them. ;D
By the way Rorschach's Legend and Watchmen Meets Avengers: The Newest Defender are the newest additions to my profile. If you're a fan of Watchmen and the new series on HBO coming up soon then I recommend that you check it out. Since it was just recently uploaded I really would enjoy hearing other peoples thoughts on the subject matter so far. So feel free to do so if you have the time.
I have other grand news! I was a patron at New York Comic Con! Ah! I'd been dying to go for years and now I had the opportunity. The Jokers from Impractical Jokers have been here along with Tom Hiddleston and so many others. Over those few days I actually got my picture taken with a couple of other actors/actresses and some really great panels. It really is so exciting there. This is an opportunity of a lifetime so there's no way in hell that I was going to waste a single second of it. No one ever should with something like this. Ever! ;D
For future preferences I highly recommend that you all keep an eye out for when tickets for New York Comic Con are available for purchase again for next year. This is a huge event and you should jump on it whenever you have the chance.
