'I have to hurry! Everyone is in danger if that nutter gets her hands on anyone!' I kept on running, but was stopped when someone grabbed my arm.
"Watch it!" I screamed before noticing WHO stood behind me. 'Why me?!' "What do you want Byron?"
"Be my girlfriend." Byron said, more like demanded.
"Are you high? I don't do bed hoppers." Glancing at my watch I cursed. "Now let go of me, I'm running late."
"Not until I get a kiss." Byron leaned closer.
'Are you f*** kidding me?! He should go f*** Denman since they both have few screws lose.' With that I promptly kicked Byron where sun doesn't shine and to my surprise he screamed like little girl.
"He's all your boys!" I called out to some guys that I know had lost their girlfriends to Byron.

Samantha's p.o.v
Me and Zane had just explained everything we had found out to Cleo, Rikki and Emma. Ash couldn't come since he had to cover someone at work, but Zane texted him and told him to be careful. Lewis didn't answer his phone which is weird.
*beep beep* Cleo just received a text message. It must be from Lewis, but something doesn't just feel right. It must be a trap.
"It's from Lewis, he wants us to meet him at Mako Island." Cleo said and was ready to stand up, but I held her down. "Sam?"
"Did you even consider the possibility that it could be a trap? Miss Nuthead could have sent it to lure all three of you into a trap." As I spoke the situation finally seemed to sink in their minds.
"What can we do then?" Rikki asked as she flopped down to sit beside Zane.
"We have the element of surprise." I said, but after seeing the blank stares I elaborated. "Dr Denman doesn't know that I'm a mermaid. I'll come with you, but I'll stay invisible. Meanwhile Zane here will go rescue Lewis. Then they'll come after us to Mako. Check the entrance to the moonpool and do what ever you can to open it and remember that I'll also be there to help. If something happens Rikki can alert me through our link. Any questions? No? Good then let's go!" I dragged Cleo behind me as we ran outside.

-Mako Island-
No p.o.v
The four mermaids swam through the entrance of the moonpool with Samantha in the lead. She was going to stay at the bottom, ready to help her mermaids sisters and twin if they needed her. She trusted Rikki to tell if something happened on the surface while she was in the tunnel waiting for Lewis or Zane to show up.
Dr. Denman was almost cackling with glee as the mental woman kept staring at the three mermaids who used their powers to keep them away. She could only think how famous and rich she is going to be once she tells the whole world about them.
Harrison didn't want to be there in the first place, but Zane had called him and asked that could he stall Dr. Denman so he and Lewis can have enough time to save the girls. So that was what he did. He even mentioned Samantha knowing that the name would make the crazy b*** lose her concentration.

I was at the metal gate (That had somehow be placed there when my back was turned) waiting when Lewis swam forwards with a small anchor in his hands. When he reached the gate I decided to speak to him quietly, while still staying invisible since I don't know if all the cameras are out of commission yet.
/Are you okay Lewis?/ I asked quietly, chuckling as Lewis almost dropped the anchor. He nodded his head as I helped him place the anchor securely on the gate.
/Tell Zane to hurry, his father can't stall very much longer , and Dr Nutjob is getting impatient and is soon going to force them out of the water. Now go./ Using my powers I gave Lewis little push towards the surface.
[Rikki? Lewis and Zane are ready. Tell Cleo and Emma to move as soon as they hear the noise.] Using the mental link I passed the information to Rikki.
[Thanks Sam. It's getting boring here. We'll meet you at Emma's.] Rikki replied back.

-Emma's house-
Emma's p.o.v
"Emma you are home. Come and see who's here." Mom said as soon as we walked in.
"Miss Chatham." The relieved sigh escaped my lips as I saw the old lady.
"Girls. There is something I wish to tell you." Miss Chatham said as she put her teacup down. I lead everyone into my room.
"What I'm about to tell you is really important so listen closely." Miss Chatham began to tell us that Lunar Eclipse has the power to take away our powers. But do I want to do that? What would I tell Ash?
Samantha looked at Miss Chatham like she knew something more, but if she did then she would tell us too. She then gained a faraway look in her eyes so I looked at Rikki. No they weren't talking to each other. Is there something Samantha hasn't told us?

-Moonpool-
Samantha's p.o.v
[Heads up. Divers are coming in.] Since I wanted to avoid them I pressed myself at the very bottom of the moonpool. Good thing it's so deep.
[Are you sure you'll be okay Sam?]
[Yes, now remember that you can't show mercy to Denman. She is mentally unstable and also a cold blooded murderer.]
[Sorry Sam. Gotta go.] Rikki cut the connection, probably getting ready to trash Denman's goons with Emma and Cleo.
'I wonder what Luna meant when she said that I have to be in the pool when the moon reaches its peak...Well I'll find out soon, I can feel the magic starting to act up.'
No p.o.v
As the Lunar Eclipse commenced Samantha felt the magic surging through her veins like it had a mind of its own. She reached out her hands and briefly touched Cleo's tail unknowingly opening another mental link. When the magic loosened its hold on her Samantha swam out of the moonpool.

-The next day-
No p.o.v
-Rikki and Zane-
Rikki sighed, leaning into Zane. "It's going to be so weird for not being able swim with so fast anymore." She whined quietly .
"Mermaid or not you are perfect for me." Zane kissed Rikki just as a wave reacher their feet.
"Woah!" Rikki exclaimed when she suddenly transformed. She would have fallen if Zane hadn't caught her. "Wha- how?"
"Let's get you out of the water first." Zane grunted, trying to drag Rikki further inland.
"Let me help you son." Harrison helped his son to drag Rikki on a dry sand so she could dry herself.
"What are you doing here dad?" Zane asked as he helped Rikki up.
"I came here to tell you that Denman has been arrested for the murder of David and Ava Sertori along with their twin daughters. And many other crimes she had committed." Harrison explained with a rare smile.
"Serves that nutcase just fine." Rikki said and dusted her clothes.
-Emma and Ash-
"You okay Em'?" Ash asked as he hugged Emma close to his person.
"Yeah, I'm okay, but it's going to be so weird for not being able to hold my breath so long anymore." Emma whispered and eyed at the pool. "Wanna go for a swim?"
Smiling mischievously Ash scooped Emma up in his arms. "In you go!" And threw Emma in the pool.
"Ash!" Emma screeched before she hit the water. When she surfaced and tried to get up she found out that she had a tail" "How?!"
"Wow." Ash was speechless.
-Cleo-
"What?" Cleo mumbled as she stared at he tail. [I thought the Lunar Eclipse took away our powers.]
[Lewis told me it only lasted twelve hours.] Samantha's voice echoed in Cleo's head.
[Aaah! What the hell Sam?!] Cleo screamed.
[Ouch! Cleo! Not so loud please? All the guys knew about this. And it looks like you are now part of our mind link. Right Rikki?] Samantha said happily, like a cat who got the cream.
[Yep, and Dr Nutcase is now locked away for the rest of her life. Zane's father told us when he helped Zane pull me out of the water.] Rikki replied immediately.
[What about Emma?] Cleo asked after she had calmed down from her scare.
[Not a peep, maybe she isn't part of this.] Samantha said as she entered Cleo's room. [You better hurry up Cleo. Angela is getting suspicious and Kim can't keep her occupied forever.]
[Coming.] Cleo responded.
-Armorel beach-
Samantha laughed her head off as Cleo, Emma and Rikki punished their boyfriends.
Cleo had created a massive waterspout with Lewis on top screaming and apologizing. Poor guy looked ready to faint. Only the water was holding hip at the moment.
Emma poured water on Ash and froze his pants, causing the poor boy to shiver violently trying to save his family jewels.
Rikki was in too good mood to do anything to Zane, so she simply sat on Zane's lap and used him as a comfy chair.
The still laughing Samantha took out her phone as it beeped indicating that message had arrived. It was from Tiffany.
#Hey Samantha! Guess what? Miriam's family finally moved away and Byron is now forced to marry Paige, because he got her pregnant. Their families know how they really are so now they'll be stuck together. See ya later#
Smiling widely. "Who's up for a swim?" She asked loudly.
"ME!"
