Hello! I thought i would update :)
I know it isn't as long as you would like, but at the places i stop each chapter, leads onto the other chapter instead of making the story bad, and not make any sense. (You proberly won't know what im on about)
6 reviews on the first chapter! thats the most i have had on any of my stories! :D
And the first reviewer was Indiana Joanna, but they did not give any answers to the question, but thanks for the first review!
The winner of the trivia questions was an anomonous review. Someone called Lyla or H2o Fan. Lyla will be Sams friend.
Im not going to put the disclaimers bit in on every chapter. it gets boring.
Anyway, on with the second chapter!!! :)
"Cleo?"
"Dad, just get Sam onto land. I will explain the situation in a minute when I get out."
Don positioned Sam on the ground, with her legs slightly elevated, till she became conscious again.
He looked around to see one of his daughters Kim, playing on her Nintendo DSI, not really caring about what had happened.
He then looked at his other daughter in the water still, and wondered what the water was hiding.
He was then brought back to reality from his thoughts when he realised Cleo was struggling to get out of the water.
"Kim, stay with Sam. Cleo, grab hold of my hand."
When Don pulled Cleo out of the water, he saw her tail very clearly.
"You're a..." Kim couldn't get her words out.
"Mermaid? Yes Kim, I know."
"But how?" asked Sam.
"I will tell everyone when we get home. Now, can someone pass me my towel please?"
Don took Cleo's blue towel with her name embroidered into it, and gave it to her.
"Dad, are you ok?" Cleo asked, because Don was unsure of where to look.
"Umm, yeah I'm just shocked, that's all."
After a couple of minutes trying herself and her tail, she returned back to normal.
The ride home was quiet.
As soon as the family got into the house, they got changed out of their swimming gear, to normal clothes, but for Sam, she got changed into her work clothes.
"I think we need to talk" said Don.
Everyone sat at the table, where all was quiet for a few seconds.
"I know you all want to ask me questions, so fire away.
"How long have you been like this?" Don asked.
"Three years."
Sam spoke up next. "How did you become a mermaid?"
Cleo didn't want them to know about Bella and Rikki, so she lied a little bit.
"One night, I went to Mako Island when I borrowed Lewis's boat. I went to the moon pool, something unusual happened and now I grow a tail within seconds, when I make contact with water."
"So you're saying that when I thought you were a mermaid, and I made a fool of myself at the Miss Sea Queen Pageant, I was right?" smiled Kim.
"Yes, but im not an evil mermaid." Cleo reassured,
Kim was confused. "But the water, me and Elliot threw over you and the other contestant's… you didn't become a mermaid then!"
"Wait here a minute."
Cleo went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.
"This is how I didn't turn into a mythical creature infront of everyone. Please, none of you touch it incase it spills. Now watch."
Cleo held out her hand and made the water move fro, out of the glass into the air, then hovering over Kim. Everyone gasped at how one of their family members has magic powers. Real magic powers.
Cleo thought it would be funny to let go of the water that was hovering over Kim, so Kim got wet. Kim got a cup of the fresh water out of the washing up bowl and threw it at Cleo, but Cleo stopped it.
"Dad, tell her to stop!" Cleo said.
"Look girls, both of you stop. You both need to act more grown up. By the way Cleo, you are still doing all of your chores." Don said sternly.
"Do I have to???" Cleo whined.
"Yes. I'm sure washing up gloves will protect your hands and wrists from the water."
A knock was heard on the front door.
Sam went up and answered it.
"Hi, Lyla."
"Hey. Do you want me to drive you to work? I was passing through the town and I thought you would be off to work around now."
"Thanks Lyla."
Lyla got in her car, and waited for Sam to gather her things.
"I'm going to work now. Bye" said Sam
"Bye." Don, Kim and Cleo said together.
"Dad, I'm going to find Bella and Rikki"
"Are they the same as you?" Don asked.
"What do you mean" Cleo replied playing stupid.
"Are they… Are they mermaids as well?" He said.
Cleo didn't want to let anymore of her secret out so she lied.
"No."
"Look dad, they can't be, they both work at Rikki's Juice Bar. There is a risk of them getting wet, so they couldn't be." Kim thought with pride at her 'great thinking'.
"You can go now Cleo. Thanks for telling us about this."
"I had no choice did I?"
Cleo went upstairs and called Bella who was with Rikki.
"Hello?"
"Hi, its Cleo, meet me at the moon pool with Rikki. It's important."
"Ok, we will be right there." said Bella.
Cleo went downstairs, and as she was about to go out of the back door. He dad stopped her.
"Where are you going to meet Bella and Rikki?"
"At the Marine Park" Cleo didn't want anyone else to know about their secret place.
"Ok, I just wanted to make sure you was safe."
"Bye."
Cleo ran out of the door, and dived into the water.
Don watched in amazement at his daughter.
Me again :)
