He y'all here it the second chapter, I'm trying to update every ten days so be expecting that.
I don't own mako mermaids, or any mermaids. All characters belong to… uh you know some Canadian or Australian I'm not really sure.
Here it is, please, please, please review (I'm on my hands and knees) I live for your comments.
"He has a-what?!" Rita shouts at Nixie and she would have shouted at Cam, but he's hiding behind Nixie. Rita taps her desk trying to help calm herself down. Nixie stands tall unafraid of the older mermaid standing in front of her.
"A tail, he's a merman." Nixie states, Cam had to admit Nixie is brave standing up the scary principal with no fear. Nixie plops into the chair across from Rita's office desk, Cam mimics here and sits as well. But in a much more respectful way, he can't risk angering the principal any more than he currently has.
"How did this happen?" Rita finally ask in a calm, yet even more terrifying voice. Nixie starts to answer but cam beats her to it; he is the problem and he's not going to hide behind Nixie and let her do all the explaining. As much as he'd like to.
"I fell in the moon pool-" Rita's skeptical[N1] [N2] scoff stops the unsure boy.
"Oh you fell. I'm sure you weren't trying to get merpowers. That's just what you spent all last year trying to do." Nixie jumps up to defend him, Rita is right but nobody messes with Cam but her.
"He was saving me-" Rita stares shocked at the girl who just yesterday could hardly stay in the same room the boy's name was mentioned in, who is now defending him. "I mean the moon pool stared bubbling sooner than it normally does. So I got in to check it out, and my tail disappeared..." Nixie explained the events of the previous night, excluding the part where Cam admitted his feels for her-but Nixie isn't sure that's what her principal and adoptive mother was interested in at the moment.
"...he got pulled because he was saving me. We haven't told the others, but I'm not sure they need-" Rita holds her hand out to stop Nixie. Her thoughts clear on her face.
"No the pod needs to know, but I'll tell them. You take care of Cam, we don't know if this is permanent so he needs to be watched." Nixie nods. "Cam call your parents and tell them that you'll be staying with Zac tonight, you can sleep in the cave tonight. Nixie please go show him around; I'll get the others."
"This is the cave." The cave is a literal cave fitted with lights and filled with a ton of random treasures. To Cam it looks like a brighter version of a dragons hide out. Which is totally cool, he thinks to himself.
"So Do you guys stay here with Rita every night?" Nixie shakes her head and jumps into the ocean access pool carved into the wall and floor of the cave. When she resurfaces her clothes has morphed into an orange-y-pink top and tail. Cam is still a little unclear on where the clothes goes and why it's not wet when it returns, but he's learned not to question magic.
"We sleep in the moon pool." She motions for Cam to get in the water. "It's much better than standing." Why not? He thinks to himself and slides in the water his tail quickly appears. Unlike Nixie's it's a deep blue like Zac's- it must be a gender thing, girls get pink, boys get blue. That's a little boring everyone is the same.
"Is it hard to sleep in the water?" Cam roles over on his back and floats in the large indoor pool thing.
"No, what's hard is sleeping out of water I don't know how you humans do it.-"
"Those humans, I'm one of you now." Nixie chuckles at Cams excitement.
"You are really enjoying this, aren't you?" He swims over next to her nodding his head.
"Yes I am. Do you want to go swimming?" Nixie shakes her head, she warn out from staying up most of last night and the whole not having a tail-then getting it back-then, surprise! Cam has one too. "Oh, I see. You're afraid I'll be faster than you." Nixie rolls her eyes.
"You've had a tail for two hours and you think you're faster than me? Fat chance."
"Okay, miss scardy cat. Miss chicken. Miss Mer-chicken-"
"Okay!" She shouts to stop his ridiculous jests. "Okay, we'll race. Ready...set-go!" She tears off out of the cave and into open sea, Cam in tow. He could've sped up, maybe even beat her, but he loves watching her swim. The ocean is her home and it's where she is happiest.
Neither of them resurface until they reach the moon pool.
"I win." Nixie climbs out of the pool, evaporating the water to get her legs back. Cam close behind her. She turns to face, she has a question for him, it's taken her a while to finally ask him but she is ready now.
"What's different in me and Carly?" He's surprised by the question.
"What?" Was the only thing he could think of, he heard the question but was a little unclear of why she was asking it; and why now?
"Yesterday you said that she wasn't me. So what makes us different? Is it our hair color, or the fact that I'm a mermaid? What is it?" Cam ponders for a second, selecting his words carefully. He had seen evie back Zac into a few of these trick questions.
"When I first saw you...Lyla had just weird-ed us out and evie was angry so I wanted to get as far away from her as possible- but then I saw you. I wanted to get to know you and be closer to you, so I plopped myself in the seat next to you. I flirted with you and you rejected me, that doesn't happen very often to the Camster. You were special and it made like you more. Carly doesn't have that." She nods
"So Camster, what do you want to do now with your new powers?" He thinks for a second than wraps his arms around her.
"I think I'm going to..." He pauses. "Throw you in the water." He chuckles, Nixie kicks and fights but she laughing too hard for her efforts to be successful. Until a blonde mermaid rises from the water and tosses Cam across the cave. With a horrific crack he blacks out. The last thing on his mind. Who the heck was that?
