Found Out Of Water:

Chapter 2:

Cuifen with the permission of Xuan went down to Atlantica and waited for her egg to hatch she was surprised when there were two eggs, born six months apart from each other. Least to say Xuan was happily surprised. Their two daughters were mixtures of them. Their eldest had his jet black hair and Cuifen's sparkling emerald eyes that still took his breath away. His youngest had Cuifen's mousy brown hair and his ocean sapphire eyes.

Contradicting the spell they were surprised when the eldest had a beautiful voice, melodic just like her mothers and their youngest too.

Apart from the three months they had too spend in Atlantica Cuifen never let them out of her sight, she would read them Atlantican stories before they fell asleep and let them have baths together when their fins would come out and the younger liked to see how much water she could get out of the bath encouraging the elder to join in with her and she eventually did, though her splashes were softer and more graceful though she followed her younger sister wherever she went and couldn't bear to be apart from her for more than a couple of minutes without starting to cry trying to get her younger sister to come and find her. She was a more reserved than her younger sister who was extremely innocent and childish always making her parents smile at her though she like her sister hated to be apart from her and lost some of her spark when she didn't know where she was but she had a lot already and still seemed fun and sweet. They made use of the time and taught them as much human language since the king would let them learn it in Atlantica since Cuifen had gone up, though with their age being so young they did not learn much.

When the eldest became the age of five Cuifen took them to Atlantica feeling heavy guilt in her heart at the fact that she had spent most of her time with them and could visit them whenever she could but Xuan had to wait ten years before he could see his most beloved daughters again but he knew it had to be done and never regretted letting them go if it meant his wife.

Once down there the eldest daughter lost her voice suddenly surprising everyone but their grandfather. Because of this growing up she learnt things a lot slower than her sister often making her sad though her sister would try and cheer her up, it didn't help her learn it any faster but it cheered her up somewhat. During language lessons she was told to say it in her mind which made her feel a little behind and left out though she did her best to hide it and always said that there were people who were in worse conditions than her and she should always be grateful for what she had but her sister knew she missed her voice. As time went by she grew used to it and communicated the best she could. She and her sister had code signs for certain things often annoying the teacher when the youngest would suddenly go into giggles.

On the day they were to return to the surface they stood in front of their grandfather who had begrudgingly taught them some of the human language though he saw it as the second thing that helped take his daughter away the first obviously being Xuan.

"Here" he said as he held out a two gold necklaces with a gold starfish the size of a small fish to her "Da, this is for you, if you put it round your neck and hold it, it'll start to glow and you'll be able to talk and hear Xiao through each others minds"

Da's face brightened and she immediately took it and put it round her neck. He put one in Xiao's hands "And this one is for you so you can hear Da, remember you are always welcome here"

Ai swam up to them with a young girl behind with a dark green fin while Da had a deep shiny red and Xiao a sapphire blue fin. The girl had her arms crossed and a scowl on her face as she huffed.

Ai stopped at them "Himiko is going with you"

The king turned and looked at her confused "Why?"

"Cuifen promised me that Himiko could besides there's no one to look after her down here since she won't let them" replied Ai looking at Himiko's sulking face

The king shook his head "Whatever you want"

Ai nodded satisfied "I've already performed the spell, let them get going I'm sure they miss their mother and father"

Xiao and Da nodded with smiles.

The king turned to his sons "Take them up there"

"But I don't want-!" objected Himiko loudly before being silenced by Ai

Cuifen and Xuan were waiting at the shore, Xuan was stood patiently while Cuifen was fidgeting as she waited impatiently.

Cuifen eyes widened in delight when she saw her daughters.

Her brothers set them down on the sand.

Cuifen waved to them her face beaming "Hi!"

They smiled at her before giving a small nod to Xuan in recognition he returned it before going to his daughters.

They turned to leave seeing their other brother looking around the water before looking to them and raising his shoulders signalling he'd lost Himiko.

They sighed before one turned back to Cuifen "See you Sister"

Cuifen waved like a child to them before they dived back into the water.

Cuifen kneeled in front of them as they coughed up water.

"Are you two okay?" asked Cuifen sweetly

Da nodded before looking at her mother with a serene smile.

Cuifen looked at her worried "What happened?"

Da tilted her head to the side in confusion.

"Let's get them inside it's too cold to be outside" suggested Xuan

Cuifen nodded.

They took them home and sat them in front of the fire with blankets around them since it was close to winter.

Cuifen sat in the middle of them looking between them worried

"What happened?" she asked worried

Xiao moved her feet around neither if the two of them had remembered how to walk.

"I don't know as soon as we got down there, Sis stopped talking" replied Xiao

Cuifen turned to Da who smiled widely at her trying to make her feel better.

"Oh" cried Cuifen worried

Xuan came up behind them "I'm sure we can help"

Da nodded as Xuan put his arm round her comfortingly.

Cuifen shook her head still worried "But I don't remember the spell!"

Xiao remembered the scroll and held it in front of Cuifen "This is off Grandpa, but he doesn't know what else he can do"

Cuifen took it and opened it before tilting her head. She turned to Xuan sheepishly and held it out to him "Please…" she said innocently

He couldn't help but smile before taking it.

Cuifen crawled over to him eagerly before resting her hands on his arm as she looked at the scroll, followed by Xiao who used her hands to get over there before resting her hands on Da's head as Da slumped down due to Xiao's weight.

"What's it say?" asked Cuifen and Xiao excited as they peered over

"It says…" began Xuan "The voice is with the true love use the necklace to find it"

Cuifen deflated "Why is it always so confusing?"

Xiao switched between them "What's it about?"

Xuan shook his head "It can wait, the rest is just for us"

"For us?" asked Cuifen

Xuan nodded and it seemed to satisfy them.

"Okay" agreed Cuifen

Xiao tried moving her legs properly "You know I'm never going to have a bath again, I don't even remember how to stand!" she cried childishly

Cuifen clapped her hands together in delight "I can help!"

The two of them watched as Cuifen began to show them before looking at each other confused at her display.

The next day Da sat by the fountain looking into the water as she rested her head on her arm which was on the stone of the fountain.

Her necklace dangled over the fountain has it caught some of the Sun's light.

She smiled when she saw some small starfish at the bottom moving their arms as they sang though she couldn't hear it from hear. She had two gold starfish behind her ears in her hair.

The weather was cold as it was what her father had said the end of autumn. Her mother had made her dress with a full cloak and gloves over her dress except shoes.

She shook her head at the thought of them, she couldn't understand why people need them, as soon as she put them on all she could think about was taking them off she preferred being barefoot and feeling the ground beneath her feet. She wasn't the only one, she had never seen Xiao or Cuifen wear shoes either.

She shivered as a cold wind blew past.

She had heard her mother talk about something called snow she was impatient to see, but she never understood what she said about it.

Her thoughts went to Xiao, she had only been gone for two minutes but she missed the talking.

Back in Atlantica her Grandpa had said to her that if she stayed there, Xiao wouldn't have to be under any of the conditions of the spell since Da knew that it was likely they wouldn't find her voice or any true love, when Xiao found hers, if she wanted her gone she would go without any fights.

Xiao came skipping up to her. "Sis!"

Da looked up to her and smiled.

Xiao looked surprised "What's wrong?"

Da tilted her head in confusion.

Xiao put her hands on her hips "You can't lie to me!"

Da turned to her and shook her head.

Xiao lost all her sternness and pouted "Please?"

Da held the starfish necklace as it began to glow. 'There's nothing…'

This didn't satisfy Xiao before Xiao knelt down to Da and looked her in the eyes.

"You're worried about the spell right?" asked Xiao in concern

Da looked down.

Xiao crossed her legs "I know what Grandpa said but that means we'll have to start searching"

Da looked at her before holding the starfish as it began to glow brightly 'Where?'

Xiao put her finger to her chin in thought "Well, anywhere would be a good start"

Da squinted her eyebrows in confusion before Xiao grabbed her hands.

"It's not as if we can't do it we know to stay away from water and it's not as if it falls from the sky now is it?" began Xiao

Da smiled.

"We'll never find it if we stay here, and…even if we don't we'll always have each other" reasoned Xiao

Da's smile grew wider but she was still unsure, it sounded like Xiao was suggesting they runaway.

Xiao grinned "We'll go to the next town and if it's too hard we'll come straight back, it can't be that far away"

Da didn't do anything as Xiao pouted.

"Please…we've never been outside home when we're on land, it'll be good for us" argued Xiao

Da still wasn't sure but she knew her sister would go and she would go with her.

As if Xiao could read her thoughts without the starfish she clasped her hands together successful, "Let's get going then!"

Da's eyes widened before she held Xiao's hand stopping her as she was getting up. Xiao looked down to her. "What's up Sis?"

Da looked up at her before using her other hand and holding her starfish 'We've only just come back, Mamma and Papa they're going to be worried'

Xiao thought for a moment "What do you mean?"

'If we have to go, let's go tomorrow or next week it's been a long time since we've been with them' reasoned Da

Xiao nodded "Okay, we'll go tomorrow morning before Mamma wakes us up"

Da nodded satisfied.

Cuifen came bouncing up to them without her shoes wanting to spend time with her daughters.

"Aren't you two cold out here?" she asked

Xiao nodded as she motioned to her goose bumps "I am can we go inside?"

Da stood up before following the two inside.
