-Samantha's Dream Start-
A girl is walking along the docks. She had a serene smile on her face so you could tell something good had happened and that she was very happy. She stopped suddenly and turned as if being stung. She then took few steps forward until she was at the edge of the dock. She only had to take a single step and she could reach the ocean. She looked into the cloudy night sky, something was going to happen she could feel it.
As she was about to turn around so she could continue her walk home, her blue eyes had caught a shine in the night time sky. She turned her head towards the shine and she gasped in awe, the Crescent moon had come out from behind the clouds. It was beautiful, almost magical... The feeling of being called was getting too strong for her to ignore...
Suddenly the girl's eyes turned darker shade of blue and she dived into the sea. She could faintly hear someone calling out for her telling her not to go.

A black haired mermaid was in the center of the moonpool and three other mermaids were there as well with her. She had to use her powers to hold the others still so the magic could happen. She was completely deaf to their pleading to let them go. Didn't they hear the same song she does? The song was telling her that this needs to happen.
Then suddenly the Crescent moon was right overhead and the water started bubbling around them, freaking out the other three, they kept pleading her to stop. The magic took effect followed by flash of light...
-End of Samantha's dream-
Gasping for air Samantha sat up in her bed trying to keep her breathing under control. She hoped that she hadn't screamed out loud. There was no way she was going to explain her dream to them, except Cleo. Speaking of Cleo...
The door cracked open and Cleo looked in. "You okay Sam? I had a feeling that something wasn't right."
"Come in and close the door Cleo." Samantha requested trying to suppress a shiver. Cleo did as she was told and came to sit beside her twin. "What I'm about to tell might sound weird, but I need you to hear me out. Ok?"
"Ok." Cleo looked unsure, but the look in her twin's eyes made her promise.
So Samantha told Cleo about her dream. The Crescent moon, the feeling of being called, everything. And by the time she was done Samantha was once again calm and in control of her feelings. She looked at Cleo, who was in shock. "You still with me Cleo?" Samantha waved her hand in front of Cleo's face.
"Y-yeah, but let me get this straight. You were affected by Crestcent moon."
Samantha nodded.
"You felt like you were being called."
"Yes."
"And you were using your powers to hold me, Emma and Rikki in the moonpool so that some sort of magic can happen. And that it is necessary to happen."
"That's right. Still it's weird. The song in my dream was so familiar like I've heard it before, but I can't remember when or where." Samantha flopped down on her bed. "What ever is going to happen I'm sure everything will turn out just fine." A huge yawn escaped her followed by one from Cleo.
"I trust you Samantha. I'm going back to my room. Let's gather everyone at the Mako Island tomorrow." Cleo stood up.
"You mean later today." Samantha mumbled yawning pulling the covers back over her. She was out like a light.

Later that morning Samantha was woken up by Cleo.
Samantha drowsily looked at her clock and sighed it was only 6:45 in the morning.
"Why are you waking me up?" Samantha's voice sounded like she had been drugged, because she had just woken up. For once she didn't feel murderous for been woken so early.
"Sam, I needed to tell you that Rikki and Emma aren't able to meet us at Mako. They didn't do their homework yet. And Zane is grounded because of something his twin did, Lewis is working on his homework as well, and Ash went to his dad's house for the next three days." Cleo's voice sounded sad at Lewis not being with her.
"Wait did you just say they can't come to Mako because of homework? Rikki I can imagine not doing hers, but Lewis and Emma? Seriously?" Samantha asked she was truly puzzled, but somehow she felt a pleased feeling that was not hers, go down her spine.
"Yeah I know it is weird. Emma said that she had forgotten to do hers which is weird and Lewis said that he thought that he already did everything, but his work sheets and the papers that he did were all gone. Like he never did them in the first place." Cleo told her.
Samantha could tell that Cleo wanted to go and help her boyfriend. And obviously spend time with him.
"Cleo go to your boyfriend, and help him." Samantha told her. Cleo opened her mouth to tell her that this was a bad idea, but before she could say anything Samantha spoke again. "Don't worry! The moon doesn't rise until 8:00 PM. I'll be fine."
"Okay if your sure, but I will be keeping an eye on the docks tonight." Cleo told Samantha as she dashed out the door and headed to her boyfriends house.
Muttering something about overprotective twins Samantha got up to start her day.

Samantha sighed contently as she walked into the Mall, she was feeling very happy and her happines seemed to grow more with every hour that passed, it was like she was in her dream. The weird part was that she had almost zero control of her actions.
She didn't know how much time she spent in the mall window shopping, but on her way home she happened to walk by the docks. Soon she heard the song from her dream.
~Though I'm far away, across the sea, this moon keeps haunting me~
'That voice...I know I've heard it before.' Sam thought hazily as her body started to move on its own again.
~And the passing tide, in paradise, as we swim beneath this moon~
When Samantha saw the Crescent moon her mind went blank.
Rikki's P.O.V
Cleo had just told me and Emma about Samantha's dream. I'm sure that everything that has happened today can't be a mere coincidence. We were running towards the docks to see if Samantha was there. There is something weird in the air, but I can't put my finger on it.
"There she is! Samantha! Don't do it!" Cleo yelled after her twin, but something wasn't right. Samantha dived gracefully into the water.
"It's like she couldn't hear us." Emma said as we still kept on running.
"What was your first clue genius?" I snarked. "We have to go to Mako Island, but we can't fight her. Remember her dream."
We dived in the water and swam as fast as we could towards Mako. On our way to moonpool there was no trace of Samantha anywhere. Just how fast she can swim?
No P.O.V
When Cleo, Emma and Rikki surfaced in the moonpool they were immediately trapped by a water tentacle. Even if they had warned each other not to fight they still did it. While the trio was struggling Samantha kept a calm expression on her face as she kept humming quietly.
"Sam! I know you can hear me! Snap out of it!" Cleo pleaded her twin to stop. Everything Samantha had told her now completely forgotten.
Emma and Rikki also tried to get Samantha's attention, but nothing worked.
When the Crescent moon rose above the crater the water began to bubble around them the feeling of ancient magic grew so strong that only Samantha was unaffected by it. Cleo, Emma and Rikki kept blinking their eyes, trying to stay awake.
Somewhere at the back of her mind Samantha had recognized Luna's voice as the singer. She knew that Luna would never harm her so she didn't even try to fight.
After the flash of light the pool was empty...
