"I'm a-"

"Mermaid!" Max said.

"Max, just because she brought the water for our trip, doesn't mean she's a mermaid," Harper said as she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

"Mermaids are too weak to kill sasquatches," Jasmine said feeling insulted.

"You killed the sasquatch?" Justin said nervously.

"Nice job," Alex said holding up her hand for a high five, but Justin pulled it down.

"No Alex, she's dangerous," Justin said. Harper immediately started scooting away.

"So what are you, exactly?" Alex asked Jasmine.

Jasmine crossed her arms.

"She's a witch," Justin said.

"A what?" Jasmine asked.

"Only a witch would kill a unicorn for its horn. That's just sick," Justin said.

"I'm not a witch," Jasmine said.

"Then what are you?" Harper asked wondering if she was even her real cousin.

"A unicorn," Jasmine said.

"What?" Justin, Alex, and Harper said in unison.

"Ha!" Max pointed at Jasmine. "Found it!"

"But you look human," Justin said. "Unicorns can't shape shift."

"But I'm half unicorn," Jasmine said.

"How does that happen?" Max asked. Everyone else seemed confused too.

"Was your mother a unicorn and married my dad's first cousin?" Harper asked.

"Yup," Jasmine said.

"How?" Justin asked.

"It's kind of like the little mermaid," Jasmine said. "My mom thought my dad was cute, so she went to a witch and asked her to change her into a human."

"Haha. I saw pictures of him in an old family photo album. He wasn't that cute." Harper said.

"Yeah… unicorns don't have the best taste in guys," Jasmine said. Alex looked at Max then chuckled. Now she only needs to find a reason why Harper likes Justin. Maybe Harper was half unicorn too… But she would've told her by now.

"Where did your mom live when she was a unicorn?" Justin asked fascinated to learn about magical creatures.

"The eastern United States," Jasmine said.

"They live in America?" Justin asked. "Wow."

"And how did you kill the Sasquatch exactly?" Justin asked.

"I shape shifted," Jasmine said.

"Can you show me?"

"Nope."

Justin looked disappointed. "Why?"

"I can only shape shift if there is danger."

"Wait…" Harper said. "I thought Justin said that unicorns couldn't shape shift.

"Half unicorns can," Jasmine said.

"How?" Alex asked.

Jasmine shrugged. "I don't know."

Then there was an awkward silence. Jasmine knew the answer to everything they asked except for that.

"Gene mutation, maybe?" Jasmine said.

Justin nodded. "Probably."

Alex realized they were taking a break and sat down.

Justin looked at his watch. "We don't have time to make it to the top. We are going to have to walk back down."

"Justin," Alex said. "We can transport ourselves there." Jasmine knew about magic, so she could use it whenever she wanted now.

"No. You know how transporting makes me sick," Harper said holding her stomach.

"No magic, Alex," Justin said. "Dad will find out. And Dad will get angry."

Alex pulled out her wand. "Too late," she said transporting them to the top of the mountain.

Harper held her stomach. "Ugh."

Justin crossed his arms while Alex gave a mischievous smile.

Max looked over the side. "That would be fun to go bungee jumping off."

Alex pulled back Max. "No" she said as she shook her head.

Jasmine looked around and saw a little cottage with smoke coming out of the chimney. The wind started to make a eerie sound. "Guys, we need to go."

"Why? We just got here," Alex said looking at the view using Max's shoulder as an arm rest.

"We need to go," Jasmine said.

"Why?" Max asked.

"We need to go!" Jasmine said.

Harper looked at her cousin strangely. It was like her personality completely changed after she told them the secret. She used to be all quiet and indecent, but she became more demanding. And a Sasquatch killer.

"Fine," Alex said annoyed and waved her wand.

They were back at the campsite.

Alex yawned. "I'm going to go to bed," she said as she walked into her tent. Everybody else did too, except for Jasmine who was pouring a circle of orange soda around their tents. Later, she went to bed.

A/N: Hello! I am back. Sorry. I had finals. And I get to have some more after winter break. Yay! (I like finals. I like seeing how much I learned. Yes, I am a nerd.)

The climax is coming soon! Maybe next chapter or the chapter after that! Yay! :)
