Chapter 3: Transformation
Michelle's P.O.V.
I woke up with a start. Images of last night flashed before my eyes. What in the world was that? I was still in my bed thinking, trying to find an explanation for what had happened last night at mako but so far I had nothing. I was about to get up when I heard my door open. I turned around and I saw my mom, Emma. She was walking in quietly but as soon as she saw I was awake she stopped.
"Morning mom" – said to her, getting up from my bed.
"Morning sweetheart" – she replied. " oh no don't get up, I was just coming here to tell you that the school called, apparently something happened in the chemistry lab and now the school has a really strong smell, they cancelled all classes today and tomorrow.
"Really?" I asked in disbelief. Usually all the teachers were very careful with all of the substances. Still I was happy. We only had a month left of school and I two days off sounded amazing. Yeah I know we had two new teachers nut that was because the astronomy teacher left to have her baby and the biology one quit. As for Daniel, he was new to the school.
"Yeah, so you can go back to sleep. I'm on my way to work now and I left you some food in the oven." – She kissed my forehead and left. I waited a few minutes until I heard her car leave. I got up from my bed and smiled. I was home alone. I ran to the kitchen, grabbed a bagel and went to my room. As I was eating my bagel I grabbed my bikini. I put it on, grabbed my pool bag and ran to the backyard. I put my bag down and stood in front of my pool. I hesitated before jumping in. Something was off but I didn't know what it was. I just shrugged deciding that I was just being paranoid and jumped in. I loved swimming, I loved the feeling it gave me, the way it relaxed me. I took a few seconds sitting at the bottom of the pool. I started swimming and suddenly I felt a tingly sensation in my legs but it was gone just as fast. Deciding it was odd I looked at my legs, except there were no legs; instead I saw a white tail in the place where my legs should have been. I screamed and then remembered I was under water. I swam up and looked down. It was not my imagination; I had a white tail and a matching top. I was beyond confused now, not to mention scared. I looked around and thankfully I was alone. Then I tried to figure out a way to get out of the pool. I swam to the shallow part to the steps the pool had there and I dragged myself out of the water.
I was on the floor laying on my stomach, trying to find out what to do when I a sound in the lake. Fear flooded me, if somebody saw me like this I was doomed and I would probably end up as a science experiment. The sound in the lake died but it was quickly replaced by footsteps, they got closer to my house, closer to me, I heard the opening of the gate that lead to the lake and then I heard the closing sound. This was it. I waited for the scream, but it never came. I tried to flip my body but it was very hard to do with this tail. Finally I did it and I faced the visitor, expecting a stranger. Instead my eyes landed on a familiar face, Krystal's. Shock was written all over her face, she stared at me as if she couldn't believe her eyes.
Just when I opened my mouth to speak she shook her head and ran to my side, grabbing me by the arms and dragging me to back to the inside of my house. She closed the door and less than a second latter she fell to the floor. At first I tough she had lost her valance but then I looked at her and gasped. Like me she had a tail instead of legs, the only difference was that hers was red. She also had a matching top. I was stunned; I didn't know what to say. After a few more moments of silence I finally spoke up
"You too?"- I asked her, she simply nodded. "But how did this happen?"
"I don't know my only guess is Mako Island, the whole thing with the moon and the floating bubbles."- She replied. "Don't worry you are going to be back to normal"
"How do you know" I asked her looking at the white tail, still not believing my eyes.
"This isn't the first time I've transformed, I first transformed this morning at my house when I was getting some water to drink and accidentally spilled some on my hand." – She told me. "I was just as stunned as you are right now but as soon as I was dry I went back to normal." As soon as she finished saying that the tingly sensation came back to my tail. Just like before it was over very quickly and when I looked to my body I saw that I had my legs back. Krystal's legs also came back; she got up and quickly helped me get back on my feet. We stared at each other not sure of what to say. Suddenly I realized something and I gasped. Krystal looked at me confused. I looked at her and said
"Lily"- I said looking at her.
"What about her?" she asked me tilting her head.
"She was with us last night; if this happened because of mako then she is like us. We have to go and see her." Krystal's eyes widened, she grabbed my arm, opened the door and started running. She opened the gate and I realized what the sound in the lake had been, the Zodiac. We both climbed in and she started driving it to Lily's house. As soon as we made it we both got out and ran inside the house. We looked for her in the bathroom and when we didn't find her there we walked to her room. She wasn't there either. Looking at each other we kept walking, making our way to the kitchen. Her back was to us and she was holding a cup in her hands.
"Lily"- both, Krystal and me said at the same time. Lily jumped and turned around. As soon as she saw it was us she relaxed and walked over to us.
Hey guys! What are you doing here?" she asked us. Before I could respond, Krystal spoke up.
"Oh we were really bored and decided to stop by and give you a surprise attack." She told her as she walked to the place that Lily was sitting, she grabbed the cup lily had in her hands, looked at me and mouthed "water." I looked at her and nodded, now I understood why she hadn't said anything yet, she was going to splash her, and I was going to hold her if she tried to run.
"Well it worked. You guys scared me" she said smiling; she had her back facing Krystal who took this moment to splash her. The fear in her eyes was evident, her smile disappeared and she tried to make a run for it but I grabbed her before she could.
"Please let me go"- she said as she struggled to get away from me. Her voice was full of fear and I almost let her go, but I didn't. About ten seconds after Krystal splashed her, Lily transformed. I put her down on the floor and looked at her. She also had a tail and a matching top but hers was blue.
"Guys I can explain this, lease just give me..." her words were cut short when Krystal splashed me with water and then slashed herself. I counted the seconds and after ten w both fell sown with tails instead of legs. Now we were all looking at each other, smiling, this was very weird but at the same time it felt good. We all understood what we were and it was funny because before, I was confused, I was scared, but now I felt like everything was okay.
"So umm how did this happen?" Lily asked.
"We guess its mako island, the weird bubbles and the glowing water, that wasn't normal" – Krystal said.
"I think we should check It out" I said to both of them.
"And how are going to do that?" – Krystal asked.
"We as soon as we dry up, we will go back to normal, I think we should go to the lake and swim to mako." – I said to both of them.
"No, I don't think that's our best option right now" Lily said "someone can see us and we could get in trouble, but I have an idea. We just need to get back to normal"
"What do you mean?" I asked her.
"Well about two years ago I was looking for a pair of shoes in my mom's closet and I found one of her journals. When I was about to open it my mom came in and took it away from me, telling me that was private, I think it has something to do with this, and I know where it is." She told us and smiled.
At that moment we transformed back and lily ran to her parent's room. Just when Krystal and me were about to get up, Lily came back, she had something in her hands and I could only assume it was her mother's journal. She smiled at us and sat on the floor in front of Krystal and me, putting the journal in the center. We all looked at each other taking a deep breath. I nodded answering the silent question in Lily's eyes and she opened the journal. The first page had a tail like ours, but it was bronze instead of white, blue or red. At the top it read the trip that changed everything and to the side and explanation. We stared at the journal shocked; it described an unplanned rip to mako, the pool in the volcano and a full moon. It described everything that had happened to us up to this moment, getting wet and ten seconds later the tail appears. I couldn't believe my eyes aunt Cleo a mermaid. Apparently I expressed my thoughts out loud because after that lily said
Not just her. Look." She pointed to the bottom of the page. I looked at it and read it out loud
"I like being a mermaid, I really do, but the best part is that I get to live it with my best friends Emma and Rikki." I gasped and read it again, this time to myself, my mom, all of our mom's mermaids. This was a lot to process and my first thought was that this journal was lying, but looking back, it made sense, and it explained why our mom's never went near water and why they ran when they got splashed.
We stayed silent not knowing what to say, the journal still in the center of our circle.
"Guys wake up" – Krystal said. "Don't you realize what this is?" this can explain every single thing about our transformation, about us and what we became." She took the journal and flipped the page a small gas escaped her, forcing Lily and me too look at her.
"What is it?" – We both asked at the same time.
"We have powers!" – She exclaimed. "It says right here that they got powers too. My mom could heat up tings and create lightning. Aunt Cleo could move water and control wind and Aunt Emma could freeze things and make snow and frost.
"How do we do that?" I asked her. She showed us the journal and we looked at it, there was a drawing of the movements that each one of our moms did for each power. Krystal got up, filled a cup with water and placed it on the floor. She balled her fist and seconds later the water started heating up. She smiled and looked at me, I looked at the journal and then put my hand in a stop sing position, and the water in the cup froze. Lily looked at both of us and moved her hand; a small wind was felt around the house. I honestly could not believe it. We had powers and a tail this was great. Lilly closed the journal and walked back to her parent's room. When she came back she was empty handed, just as I was about to ask her why she had put the journal away she said
"If our moms are like us, then we can ask them to teach us everything they know. It could be fun. But right now I think I'm up for a swim, are you guys in or not?" Krystal and I looked at her, lily hated water, what was all of this about.
"I'm in"- Krystal said. "I don't know what happened to you but I like it and this might be a once in a lifetime opportunity, I'm taking it."
"Alright I guess I'm in too." I said and Lily laughed.
"Guys, I'm a mermaid, the water won't hurt me. Besides I read in the journal that my mom was like me, but the moment she embraced what she was, everything turned out okay and she got confidence in herself. I think it's time I do the same." Lily said to us. Not even a second after that she started running and we followed her. She ran to the lake and waited for us. As soon as Krystal and I got there she took our hands and we all looked at each other before jumping in. After ten seconds we transformed and began swimming. It was a bit weird at first but we got the hang of it. Before we knew it we were in the ocean swimming around corals. It was a beautiful sight and I could not help but think this was all supposed to happen, we were supposed to turn, just like our moms had. After we finished I pointed up and the girls followed me. When we were all in the surface I looked at them and said
"I think we should got to mako. We can use that underwater tunnel that we found"
"Sounds good"- Krystal said and Lily nodded. We all went back under water and looked for the tunnel. When we found it we went in making our way to the small pool there. When we were almost there we stopped, the pool was already occupied. We looked at each other and then back to the three bronze tails in front of us.
AN: Ok so that's chapter three. Please review and tell me what you think. Also I wanted to make Cleo's daughter different, I wanted her to be less scared of things, this is why she is okay with swimming and she is okay with being a mermaid. I hope you guys liked it and thanks again for the amazing reviews.
Review please and tell me what you think.
