Rikki's Pov
It has been past 3 days and I haven't heard a word from Cleo, Emma or Bella. I've been texting Will but that's it. Its like they completely forgot me. Was this fight really that serious? Was I really kicked out of the group? I paced back and forth across the beach as I looked at the waves.
Was I really not important to the group anymore? Did they not miss me at all? All these questions popped into my head as I was so frustrated.
As I was walking along the beach immediately I saw Zane walking towards me from a distance. He walked up to me casually as he tried to not look excited to see me but he obviously failed. He smiled as he came up to me.
"Why is this becoming a habbit now?" I asked before he spoke.
"What are you talking about?" He asked still keeping a smile on his face.
"Why do we keep running into eachother on the beach?" I responded knowing he did it on purpose.
"You the one who keeps running into me! Im just minding my own business." He smiled as I playfully punched him in the shoulder.
"Ya right. I bet your just stalking me." I mentioned with a serious smile but he ignored my comment as he started to talk.
"So your still not hanging around the mermaid club?" He asked.
"Nope." I immediately responded not trying to add more to the same ridiculous conversation we had everytime we met up.
"So your not gathering up this weekended?" He asked with a concerned face.
I looked at him in confusion as I didn't know what he ment.
"You know, the full moon thing where you have to avoid-" He started saying but I stopped him.
"oh crap. The full moon is this weekened." I mentioned to myself as he looked at me in concern.
"Do you need any help with it?" He asked as he was walking along side of me.
Remembering the last time he tried helping me with the full moon it just ended up turning into a disaster. Well, first of all, he didn't even bother helping me, he just decided to play cards with his friends as me and Will got attacked by the tentacle out by Mako island. Then the next full moon after we broke up, the tentacle was showing us this clip of the moon rock falling to earth, then he disrupted us and the clip stopped playing as it annoyed everyone there.
Obviously I didn't need his help. I could do this on my own, besides, I don't even know if Mako island will be affected because it didn't work last time because Sophie destroyed the place. Who knows? We could be the last mermaids of mako.
"Oh, im so over the full moon affecting me. I don't need to worry about it anymore." I lied.
"Oh well that's good so you don't have any plans for this weekened?" He asked me.
"Um., not that I know of." I responded knowing that I should of told him I did have plans so I could avoid anything he was trying to get me to do with him.
He smiled and did that stupid cheecky smile of his as he pulled out something out of his pocket. Immediately I saw two concert tickets to the Feddral Robots which was my fav band ever. (btw, if you watch "The Big Chill in season 1, she mentions it there)
Damn, the one person who knew me the best had to be Zane. Why couldn't it be someone else.
I bit my lip as I looked at the two tickets.
"I got v.i.p seats for the concert. Has a great view of the stage and its going to be a blast. Just wondering if you wanted to come, you know, as friends?" He asked with a concerned smile.
I looked at the two tickets he had in his hand as ive been wanting go to their concert for such a long time. I couldn't afford a ticket the last time they were in town but now that they were back this would be such agreat time to go but having to go with Zane was one of the top things I didn't want to do.
"Um, maybe another time." I mentioned as I really wanted to go to the concert.
I just couldn't risk going with him. He'd probably do something to try to get back with me and me trying to go through another relation ship with him wasn't an option anymore.
"Why not? It's a great time to go and you don't have any plans?" He mentioned trying to convince me to go with him.
"It's the full moon." I immediately said.
"I thought you said you weren't affected by it anymore." He said as he was holding out the tickets in front of me.
"Zane, no is a no! Im not going with you, ok." I madly said as I started to stomp off.
"Come on, just this one time, I wont try to pull anything off. Its just going to a concert." He argued as he was walking behind me.
"Why don't you go with another one of your friends! I bet they would enjoy it better than me" I started saying as Zane was trying to keep up with my pace.
"Because I want to go with you. I just thought that maybe it would be a good way to start off being friends again." He commented as he kept walking next to me.
I shook my head as I knew that he wanted a good ay to start off being girlfriends and boyfriends, not friends.
I stopped as I looked up at him.
"Right now its just better if we left stuff the way it is. Plus I have other stuff to deal with." I said as I countiued to walk.
"Like what, fighting with Emma? Your just wasting your time…" He mentioned.
"Oh, and that means I should waste my time with you?" I asked him a serious tone but he kept himself under control as you could see he was getting frustrated with this.
"Rikki, that's not what I ment. I just…" He started saying but he paused as nothing came out.
"Zane, nows not a good time, k? Save those seats for someone else. Someone who will actually enjoy it…" And I started walking away.
Probably 2 minutes after I had that conversation I wished I said yes to the whole concert thing. Not because I wanted to go with Zane, I would probably exchange my ticket for different seat but because it was either being locked up in my room for 12 hours while the full moon is up or going to a concert that has my favorite band playing.
I sighed as I knew going back to Zane would be too late and would give him the wrong impression. Immediately I saw Bella, Emma and Cleo all walking down the sidewalk. They were all talking and laughing as they had ice creams in their hands. I awkwardly walked by them hoping they would say hi and give me a friendly smile but when I walked past them the first thing I heard was Emma say: "User" Like she was coughing.
"What." I said as I stopped to turn around to face the 3 of them.
Anger went through me as I looked at the 3 girls standing right infront of me.
"I didn't say anything. I had something in my throat." Emma mentioned but there was a guilty small smile on her face while saying it.
"Wow, I cant beilive your so immature that were still fighting about this." I said in a loud tone but Emma just chuckled at me.
"I'm not the one fighting. You're the one who turned around and stopped us from our conversation. Were over you. All of us." Emma madly said as she gave me that attitude.
I just saw Cleo and Bella just sitting there akwardy holding their ice cream cones.
"Wow, and your actually falling for her crap! I cant beilive your following her! I didn't even do anything to you guys!" I mentioned to Bella and Cleo.
"Well you did replace me…" Bella started saying but I shook my head.
"So did Cleo but you don't seem to give her a hard time about this…" I started saying but Bella just gave me that annoyed look on her face.
"She actually apologized not like you did…" Bella mentioned putting her hand on her hip.
"She never apologized to you. She apologized to Emma. And you!" I started pointing to Cleo.
"I didn't even do anything to you so you shouldn't even be mad at me either." I mentioned but Cleo just sat there with her insecure look.
"Well you kinda made me feel bad when you started yelling at me." She said but that just made me madder.
"Oh and you don't think that your making me feel bad? Every time we have these fights you always take Emma's side like she's somehow a better friend than me." I argued making Cleo look really insecure of herself.
"Don't listen to her Cleo. She's just being a selfish brat who is trying to manipulate you." Emma started saying as she turned around to walk away.
"Im the one manipulating people? You're the one carrying Cleo and Bella on a leash like there some sort of dog." I started screaming but she continued to walk away with Cleo and Bella behind her. Anger went through me as I turned around.
How was I ever gonna survive this. Who knew how this was going to end but I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be good….
Emma's Pov
"Ok, all the windows are closed up so there's no way moon light can shine in." Will mentioned.
"And I turned off all the water in the house so that if there is a tentacle, it wont attack us." Cleo immediately said when she came into the room.
"Great! Were all settled! Now its time to relax and enjoy the night while we can." Bella said as she grabbed a handful of popcorn and a gossip magazine.
Will just smiled as he sat next to Bella and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Bella smiled as he did that as she rested her head on his chest and continued to read her magazine.
"Oh my god! Best news ever!" I started saying as everyone circled up in Cleo's living room.
"Ash is coming in one week!" I said with my excited voice.
"That's great! Its been forever since we've talked to him!" Cleo said with a smile as she grabbed a handful of popcorn.
"Who's Ash?" Bella asked flipping one of the pages of her magazine.
"Oh, he's my boyfriend. We've been going out for a little more than a year, he found out my secret only a few weeks after I left for my trip around the world with my parents." I mentioned in a little bit of disappointment.
"Well that's great! You must be really excited since you haven't seen him in a year." Bella said stuffing popcorn into her mouth.
"Beep beep, beep beep, beep beep…" I heard Will's watch go off.
He looked up as he said two words: "Full moon."
Everyone looked a little scared as they hoped that no one would start going crazy or a tentacle would attack them but it didn't as they all relaxed a little bit.
"Guys…" Cleo started saying with a worried expression on her face.
Eeryone looked up at Cleo with a bit of concern on their face.
"Do you think it was a bad idea to leave Rikki all by herself?" Cleo started asking a bit worried from what people might think of the question.
I don't know why but immediately a anger crept over me. Not any anger, like an anger of killing someone. I felt like the only thing I wanted to do was kill Rikki. I don't know what was happening to me but it felt like something was controlling me inside. Like someone was telling me to find Rikki and finish her.
With out even answering Cleo's question, I just randomly stood up and started walking to the front door. Will immediately ran up to the door and blocked it with his body.
"And where do you think your going?" Will immediately asked.
"Rikki…" Was the only word I could say like I was in a trance.
I shoved Will against the wall with strength I didn't even know I had and started opening the door.
I looked up at the sky to see the skinny white full moon. I looked back down at the ground as I started walking towards the beach. The only think I could focus on was Rikki! I just wanted to grab her neck and choke her to death.
With out even caring if people saw me, I jumped into the waves of the ocean as I started swimming towards Mako. I saw the cave entrance as I started swimming throw the tunnel.
I poked my head out of the water to see Rikki standing there as a human. The whole cave was hot and the moon pool was boiling even though she wasn't in it.
I pulled myself out of the water and turned into a human after a minute of just laying there, that's how hot the cave was so hot.
I stood up to see Rikki standing there as there was steam rising above her head. Anger went through me as I felt everything go cold. The whole cave and the walls around me started to ice up as where Rikki was standing the cave was so hot it was melting parts of the rocks off.
"Rikki." Was the only words I was capable of saying.
"Emma." Was the only thing she said too as I saw her raise her hands up in the air.
Immediately bolts of lightening came down as I just stood there like I wasn't scared.
The walls turned icier as it started to turn into a cold blizzard. Snow and shots of wind was blowing everywhere around the cave as anger swept through me. The walls started to grow ice on it as the whole floor of Mako was covered in bits of snow.
More lightening came down as Rikki rose her hands in the air causing the ice on the walls and the snow on the ground to melt.
The blizzard got worse as it started to hail bits of ice and snow. The snow was blowing everywhere around the cave in a circle like there was a tornado forming around me and Rikki.
Rikki curled her fist out in front of her self as she started to melt all the ice off the walls. More bolts of lightening hit the floor as the blizzard of snow and ice was still circled around us.
Soon enough it got so hot in the Cave that the walls around Rikki caught on fire. I spread my arms out as I made the blizzard in the cave worse. I was covered in snow and ice as for Rikki, the snow melted off of her whenever it landed on her.
The fire on the wall started to increase as everything started to explode with flames. Soon enough the blizzard of snow that was circling around me and Rikki was going so fast that it made the whole cave shake like there was an earthquake.
The moon pool would turn into thick ice for one minute and boil into hot flames the next.
Immediately I saw Cleo, Bella and Will. All shocked to see me and Rikki fighting each other. I didn't care as all I wanted to do was freeze Rikki.
Rikki lifted her arms as more bolts of lighting hit the floor of Mako island.
Immediately I got tossed up in the air as one lightening bolt almost hit me. A devious smile grew on her face as I stood up quickly to face the blizzard towards her.
I pointed my hands towards Rikki's direction as the blizzard stopped circling around the both of us, but towards Rikki. The pieces of ice and snow was blowing so hard up against her face that it caused her to smash her against the hot burning walls.
Anger and frustration went through her as she stood up and caused the icy walls around me to explode with flames of fire. I felt the ice hit me as I fell onto the floor. The whole cave was turning into a hot steaming volcano as everything was boiling and exploding with flames.
"Guys! Stop!" I heard Cleo scream but I didn't care. My only objective at this point was to get Rikki.
I lifted my arms as the snow and ice started to form around the island again. The water in the moon pool started to turn into thick ice as the floor was covered in snow and ice. I used more energy and strength to make everything colder as the walls started to freeze again.
You could tell Rikk was trying her hardest to keep everything hot and burning. The walls on the cave were covered in ice as she was using all her effort to melt it down.
Soon enough it came to the point that the blizzard and the lighting storm got so big that it caused the whole place to explode. Me and Rikki got thrown against the wall as I hit my head against the ice. My head hurt as I felt dizzy.
Soon enough the cave started to settle down as the ice on the floor melted and the fire on the walls cooled down. The water settled to one normal tempter as I laid there feeling weak.
"Emma! Rikki!" I heard the familiar voice go through my head as I laid on the floor.
I felt someone approach me as their warm hands went on my icy cold arms and before I knew it, everything went black…
