Leaving her door open a little so she can hear Pete if he wakes up Myka looks out her window seeing her favorite star in the sky she silently wishes on it like she used to when she was a young girl. Looking over at Pete's room Myka looks over at the slightly opened door thinking she should check up on him before turning in for the night. Tired Myka falls asleep still her mind tires to figure out a way to try to help him somehow.
Morning comes with a soft knock on her door, "Myka?" Claudia asks as she sees Myka still asleep she backs out of the room trying not to wake her up.
"Claudia is that you?" Myka asks.
"Sorry I didn't mean to wake you up."
"It's alright oh what time is it?"
"Almost noon Myka you were really tired nothing would wake you up even though I dropped my phone on the floor. It was kind of loud sorry if it woke you up Myka."
"No you didn't wake me up I was getting up anyway I need a shower. Wait how is Pete?"
"I looked in on him he's still unconscious he will wake up he's probably tired and very drained from turning into a merman."
"Your right Claudia if he wakes up let me know."
"I will Myka go get cleaned up for the day I'll be downstairs if you need me and I'll be listening in case he wakes up if your not out of the shower."
"Thank you Claudia."
"Hey no problem go get cleaned up and I'll get back to work on looking through the books I brought from the warehouse."
"Ok." Myka says going to her closet to get clean clothes out for the day. Finding her favorite purple top she smiles and gets a blue pair of jeans.
Meanwhile Claudia continues downstairs to read over the books and try to find a way to help Pete to expand on the paragraph she had found earlier. "Ok there has to be more to that paragraph than what I had found there." Claudia says mumbling.
"I wrote that paragraph down word for word." Claudia says trying to find the paper though the stack of notes she had written. "Oh here it is gotcha." She says smiling.
"Ok it was "One that that a shell was found on a deserted beach long the sand with blue waves washing it up on shore. One picked it up and after a few days they had never been the same almost reliving a story before their own eyes. Like a story being played out before our eyes but different from the one that had been written so long ago. Still they were forever changed without a way of returning to what they once were." Pausing for a moment she sighs, "Oh there has to be more than this she says thumbing through the book again finding nothing more.
Taking another book from the pile in front of her she finds another entry continuing the last one in the previous book. "Ok this is good there's more to this great now I'll find something here in these old pages. Yes alright there is more to this story yes." She says smiling to herself.
"Oh it's written in a foreign language oh this is going to take sometime." Looking it over she tires to read it. "This is a really old language that this is written in I am going to need a translator at least I have a computer with me."
"What this looks like Italian yes at least I can make some of this out."
"Dopo un giorno in cui a sfere passare davanti a un altro chiudendo fuori la luce agli occhi di coloro che guardano in su per vedere questa meraviglia. Questa volta portando con sé rocce di grandine che cadono dal cielo attraverso il nero senza fine che avvolge la terra. Come le luci lentamente svaniscono nella schiena senza fine che circonda questo evento così raro non avrà mai più di nuovo stand.
(Authors note Translates to)Upon a day when to spheres pass in front of another shutting out the light from the eyes of those that look up to view this wonderment. This time bringing with it rocks of hail falling from the sky across the endless black that engulfs the land. As the lights slowly fade into the endless back surrounding this rare event so shall you never again stand."
"It's Italian but I haven't studied this in a long time still glad I have my computer with me."
"Myka, Claudia." A soft faint male voice calls to them.
