Nobody's P.O.V
A few minutes after Samantha had showed them her secret.
They had started to ask question.
"okay how about I dry off first! then I will answer your questions! But one person at a time!" Samantha said as she giggled She then used her power over heat to make her tail disappear and her legs reappear.
"Now how about Kim goes first. and then Elliot?" She asked and the two eyed each other and then they both nodded in unison.
"How much water and how many seconds does it take to transform when you touch water?" Kim asked curiously.
"Good questions -and yes Kim that is two questions you have asked- It takes 10 seconds to transform into a mermaid but I have found that if I can dry whatever is wet within 5 of the 10 seconds then I remain human, as for how much water it takes? just a drop can turn us I mean me into a mermaid." She told them while she thought 'That little slip up should be enough to get Elliot to ask.' and she was right it was.
"Alright my turn and since Kim asked two questions so do I." Elliot stated as Samantha hummed in agreement
"What did you mean us?" Elliot asked but he got the feeling he already knew
"Well I mean there are more mermaids then just me but I can't give names just be on the lookout for those that go through lengths to keep their skin dry in the presence of others." Samantha said
"Okay now for my next question what are the abilities of mermaids?" He asked.
He knew she couldn't tell who the others are because that wasn't her secret to share but she was trying to give hints to them. Even Kim knew what she was trying to do.
Samantha smirked her siblings were smart very smart.
"Ah well Mermaids have some awesome powers, they can Freeze water, and turn it into Hail or Ice, they can make a drop of water turn into a bucket of water, they can control the water to shape it or move it around like to defy gravity, they can Boil/heat water and they have other powers but I have to read them from a book I had found." She told them.
Kim looked very mad about something.
"Are the other mermaids names Cleo, Emma and Rikki?" Kim asked and Elliot waited for an answer because he wanted to know.
"Yes." She told them.
" I am so proud of you two for figuring it out! "She squealed as she hugged them both.
"How could my sister lie to me?" Elliot whispered
Kim smacked his arm. "At least your sister doesn't use her powers on you! My Sister Uses her power on my water bottle. every time I did something that made her mad... well At least I know why my water bottle keeps exploding in my face." Kim then looks in horror and slaps her hands over her mouth after saying what her sister did.
"She does WHAT!" Samantha growled and mutters curses under her breath. She then suddenly stops. and smirks darkly.
"I don't like that look!" Elliot whispers to Kim and Kim just nodded her head in agreement because the last time she had that look was when Cleo picked on her and lets just say that didn't end well at least for Cleo.
"How about we make a game out of this? I am pretty sure they expect me to tell you two about the mermaid secret but here's what we are going to do. we are going to act like I am not a mermaid." Samantha said
"How? you touch water and 10 seconds later you turn into a fishy!" Elliot asked
"I Mean you two are going to act like I told you nothing. and that way you two can make your sisters-Cleo and Emma- life hell. think of it as a mission? K?" Samantha said
Both of the 12 year olds Smirks and they started to plan.
Soon Elliot went Home and Kim went over to a friends house they had a determined look on their faces.
