Hello! I got my 10 reviews that I asked for, so you get a chapter!

Thanks for your reviews, I really love reading them. For chapter 8 I'll need 13 (my fav number) reviews! Chapter 9 will have the return of a character... but who? Any ideas?

Enjoy chapter 7!

Chapter 7 – Falling Out (By Kate Alexa)

Cleo's POV

When Emma walked out of the café, she left the wreckage of World War III behind her. Everyone was gasping and talking to each other in the café about what had just happened in the showdown between Rikki & Emma, ending with the Emma's explosive finale.

Zane was coming out from behind the counter over to us, Bella was standing there not knowing what do, Rikki's eyes were welling up with tears from Emma's hurtful words which hit her like a semi-trailer, and I was standing there gob-smacked with my hand over my mouth.

"Is it true?" Rikki asked me with red eyes forming tears that were yet to fall. I looked at Rikki sympathetically before nodding and saying "I am so sorry. I should have told you earlier or convinced Emma to let you in."

Rikki got out of her chair and said "I'm the one that's sorry" and walked off in the direction of the café's office.

I feel a little bit out of place and I've never been like this before,
I watch back with no disgrace and I wonder why I fell through this door,
I really need some time to figure out just who I am and what I'm here for,
I don't know anywhere left to go but I know one things for sure..

I admit it, when she arrived Rikki wasn't the most trustworthy person you would confide in, and she wasn't an easy book to read, but after the life changing night at Mako Island where herself, Emma & I gained a tail and powers she became much, much closer to us.

Before Emma left Rikki still was a bit closed up and other peoples feeling didn't matter a whole lot to her, but since Bella and Will arrived and Zane bought the café I couldn't believe how much she had changed in that time. She had become kinder, friendlier, more mature and others feelings where on her radar more. Emma would like the person Rikki had become.

Sure when we first met her, quoting Lewis she was like "One of those fish… that look like a rock, but can shoot out enough poison to kill an entire football team in less than half a second". That was our Rikki. She was tough –and she still is- but she definitely has a heart, a soft side, and feelings, and when Emma just spoke to her she disregarded all of that.

Saying that though, Rikki hasn't always exactly been on 'team trust', I mean we only found out where she lived two years into our friendship. And then there was Zane, they kept their relationship a secret the first time they got together… and again she made him keep it a secret the second time as well.

Hell, Rikki & Emma are bad and worse… and there was me, stuck in the middle of everything; but this time I have Bella as well. I'm sorry to say it but I was on 'team Rikki', partly because Emma is fuming at me too (I'm sure she's plotting her revenge on me already) and also because what Emma said to Rikki was just plain rude and hurtful.

Things are never going to be the same between us. Sure we had our fights… and blowouts… but this was war.

I'm fallin' out of the blue skies, I'm headed straight down right to the ground,
I'm goin' out of the good times, and I don't wanna feel like this anymore..

Will anyone backdown or is this the end? How will the arrival of someone change everything? What is life going to be throwing at the girls just around the corner?

Remember 13 reviews... I appreciate it!

Have a good one
