Chapter 2: Discoveries
-Edward's POV-
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Bella was still lying on the floor with the fins. What just happened? I looked at Carlisle for an answer, but he was just as clueless as the rest of us. I took a deep breath and tried to smell my Bella real smell, but it wasn't there. The smell of fish wasn't covering her normal scent. It was her normal scent! "Bella did anything strange happen to you?" Carlisle asked as he dragged Bella away from the water.
"Well there was the glowing water in that moon pool I fell into." Bella stated. Glowing water! The water glowed. "I didn't think much of it. I thought that the moon light coming down the volcano caused the water to glow."
"Carlisle, you think something in that moon pool caused Bella to become a mermaid?" Alice asked. I was still too shocked to say anything.
"It's possible," Carlisle said. Suddenly Bella fins and scales disappeared and her legs and clothes were back.
"What just happened?" Esme asked as Bella got up off the ground.
"It seems when Bella got wet she became a mermaid and when she dried off she turned back. Interesting, very interesting." Everyone silence for a moment.
"I think I'm going to try this out." Bella said.
"Bella, no," I yelled causing everyone to look at me. "If we ignore this it might go away."
"Edward it's not just going to go away. Anyway the more we learn about this the more we know." Bella started to run to the water.
I was going to run after her but Emmett graded me. "You can't go. You'll glow in the water." I looked down at my hands. They were sparkling like diamonds. "Bella will be fine."
"You better be back in five minute," I yelled out. Bella's head was only out of the water. She smiled and nodded before going under water. The last thing I saw of her was her tail coming up out of the water before she was gone. "She'll be fine," I kept repeating as my brothers dragged me back to our camp. Oh of course she's not fine. She's not normal anymore. All I wanted was for her to remain human and now she's a fish.
-End Edward's POV-
A girl with blonde hair walked down the stairs of a house. She smiled to herself. "First full moon nothing happened," she said to two other girls. One also had blonde hair and the other had darker hair. These three were Rikki, Cleo, and Emma and they were mermaids.
"Are we sure?" Emma asked and she pointed to the TV. "There were attacks last night."
"Again," Rikki said sitting down next to Cleo. "Anyone killed?"
"Two," Emma said. "Some were just injured."
"Bitten again." Cleo added.
"We know we didn't do it last month." Rikki told them. "Why would it be us this month? Besides we stayed in Cleo's room all night. No light got in at all."
"Rikki's right. Besides we're mermaids. Not dogs," Emma said. "I have to get to work."
"Me too, but first I'm going to call Lewis. It's strange he didn't even check on us last night." Cleo said referring to her boyfriend Lewis who was the only one who knew they were mermaids.
"That boy is getting weird." Rikki told Cleo and Emma agreed. For the last month Lewis has been acting weird.
Cleo took out her cell phone and called him as Emma got her stuff ready to leave. "Hey Lewis… I was just wondering where you were…. why didn't you check on us… you always… Lewis but…" Cleo voice got sadder as the conversation went on and tears appeared in her eyes. "He hung up." Cleo said dropping the phone. "Said he was sick of mermaid business and he dumped…" She broke down crying. Emma dropped her things and Rikki and her went to comfort Cleo. "Its just so unlike Lewis." Cleo cried.
"It's okay," Emma said as she held Cleo.
"I'll go punch him." Rikki went to get up, but Emma graded hold of her arm.
"You will not hurt Lewis." Emma told Rikki. "Cleo, here's what we're going to do. You're going to go to work and after work we're going to talk to Lewis." Cleo nodded and the two got up. "Rikki, you're not going to hurt Lewis. Promise me."
"Okay, I promise. I'll go for a swim."
"Be careful," Emma warned and the two left. Rikki rolled her eyes and she too left Cleo's house.
Rikki ran to the water and jumped in swimming away as her fins appeared. Unlike her mermaid sisters, as they called each other, she had no problem at first when she discovered she was a mermaid. In fact it was one of the best things that happened to her. Emma had to give up her swimming team and Cleo had that fear of water, which seems so stupid when you have fins, but Rikki didn't give up anything. Emma grew used to being a mermaid fast and Cleo got used to it not long after.
As Rikki got closer to Mako Island she saw another mermaid. Maybe Cleo decided to skip work, but then Rikki realized the hair was lighter then Cleo's hair. It was someone else Rikki had never seen before looking at all the fishes near Mako. The girl turned her head and saw Rikki. Her mouth dropped open and of course water got in. She swam up fast to get above the water.
Rikki swam up too and got above the water to see the girl couching water out of her mouth. "Who are you?" Rikki asked getting closer.
"Bella Swan," Bella answered. "You?"
"Rikki, I've never seen you here before."
"I'm on vacation." Rikki raised an eyebrow. "I ended up in some type of moon pool last night and…"
"I know," Rikki said. "My friend and I got caught in the same thing. Come on." Rikki swam away and Bella followed. Rikki took Bella to a privet spot on the beach and used her power to dry her and Bella off.
"How did you do that?" Bella asked amazed that she was dry.
"It's my power. I heat things up." Rikki started to walk and Bella followed. "You got to keep this a secret. If anyone finds out…"
"I know. I'm not an idiot." Bella laughed. "So you have a power. Do you think I do?"
"You should." Rikki said surprised that Bella wasn't freaking out. "You're not at all…" Rikki stopped when she saw someone. "Oh great." Bella turned around to see a boy with dark hair walking over. "What are you doing here?"
"You're not happy to see me?" The boy asked.
"Not really. What are you doing Zane?"
"My dad's been acting weird. I came home." Zane looked at Bella. "I've never seen you before."
"Yeah and she's none of your business." Rikki graded hold of Bella and dragged Bella away.
"Something going on there?" Bella asked.
"Never mind. Look let's go talk to Emma and we have to explain some things to you." Rikki and Bella entered the Juice Net Café. "Em." Emma looked over as Rikki and Bella walked over. "This is Bella. She was in the moon pool last night." Rikki whispered into Emma's ear. Emma dropped the juice she was holding all over the customer.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Let me get you another one. On the house." Emma rushed off to get another drink. After she was done she yelled, "I'm taking my break." Emma walked off with Rikki and Bella. "You were in…"
"Yes," Bella cut Emma off.
"But that means…" Emma stopped herself. "Okay." Emma clearly had no idea what to do or what to say. Right then Cleo walked in. "Cleo," Emma called. "What are you doing here?"
"I asked for the day off." Cleo said. "Hi, I'm Cleo. I don't think we've met."
"Bella," Bella answered with a smile.
"Bella was in the moon pool last night," Rikki told Cleo. Cleo looked at Bella for a minute. "Let's not have to go over this again. She's one of us now."
"Bella, you realize what this means. You have to keep the secret. It will be hard."
"I know how to keep a secret already." Bella rolled her eyes. Why does it seem like everyone tells her what to do? Even people who don't even know her tell her what to do. "I don't even live in this country. I'm just on vacation."
"Where do you live?" Cleo asked.
"Forks, Washington, the rainiest place on earth. It rains almost every day." Bella just seemed to realized what she was saying when she saw her three new mermaid friends faces. "And it would be basically impossible to keep this secret there." Emma nodded while looking somewhat annoyed. They had to keep their secret safe. Bella looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "Damn Edward going to go crazy."
Bella ran out. Rikki ran right after her followed by Cleo. "I'm taking the afternoon off," Emma yelled and ran out before her boss could say anything. They ran after Bella and followed her as she ran into the water.
They all swam to Mako Island together and came out on the beach where Edward was waiting for them with Emmett and Jasper still holding him back so he didn't jump in to find Bella. All three were shocked when they saw the four girls and the three Australian girls were shocked by the boys shinning like diamond. "Cleo, Emma, Rikki this is my boyfriend Edward and his brothers Emmett and Jasper. Guys these are my new mermaid friends Cleo, Emma, and Rikki."
"Bella, something you'd like to tell us." Rikki asked. Bella looked confused for a minute and Rikki pointed at them.
"Oh that." Bella said looking at them. She couldn't think of an excuse to give for the boys appearance, so she just told them, "They're vampires."
AN: that's it for now. Review.
