Emma's Pov

"Come on Emma! Just for an hour!" Eliot begged as he had all his swim gear on with a beach towel and everything.

"For the last time! Im not going swimming with you. I hate swimming in the ocean." I lied as I was eating strawberry yougart.

"Please Emma! You never went swimming with me when we travled, and you wont swim here? Im only asking for an hour!" He asked as I walked away from the kitchen.

"An hour is too long!" I snapped at him, feeling terrible for treating him so badly.

"Ok, how about 45 minutes?" He asked.

"No!" I yelled in frustration.

"30?" He asked as I rolled my eyes at him.

"15 minutes." He kept asking as I put my hand on my hips.

"Why can't you just ask one of your friends to go swimming with you. I have other things to do." I mentioned, trying to make up an excuse in my head.

"But I wanna swim with you! Im just asking for a few minutes!" He begged, putting his goggles above his head.

"Im sorry. I have to meet up with Cleo and the girls. Maybe another day." I mentioned, trying to stop the whole argument.

"You ALWAYS say that! We haven't swam together in 3 years! Whats wrong with you?" He yelled.

"Well maybe I dont like swimming anymore! Ok? So stop bugging me about it!" I yelled back as I ran up to my room.

There was nothing more I could say to him. I couldn't just say I was a fish! Who knew what he would do.

I jumped onto my bed as I screamed into my pillow. I hated being such a bitch to my brother but I couldn't find any way to convince him I don't like swimming. He just wouldn't believe it. He would always rub into my face that i've won way too many awards to just randomly stop swimming forever.

I saw Elliot walk into my room as he looked pretty upset. I sat up straight, trying not to look weak infront of him.

"Seriously Emma! Why won't you swim?" He asked calmly as He took off his googles.

"Because!" I snapped at him as he crossed his arms.

"Thats not an answer! Why are you so afraid of swimming? Did someone drown? Your a great swimmer!" He encouraged, putting his bag on my bed.

"Its not that! I've moved on from swimming and that's it." I mentioned, putting my hair behind my ear.

"You can tell me! I wont judge you from it." He said but I rolled my eyes at him.

"What? Your not afraid of water are?" He asked, raising up one of his eyebrows.

"Psh! Me? Afriad of water? Thats ridiculous Elliot! Im around water all the time." I said, trying to act cool.

"Ok, touch the water!" Elliot teased as he held up a glass of water.

I rolled my eyes trying to act calm.

"Im not playing any of your stupid pranks." I smirked, as he looked surprised that I wasn't putting my finger in the water.

"Wow! Your seriously that scared of water! Look!" Elliot said as he dipped his finger in the glass.

I nervously sat there, hoping none of the water would splash me.

"Good for you..." I sarcastically said as I was about to stand up but immediately he threw the glass of water on my shirt.

"OH MY GOSH!" I screamed as I jumped up from off my bed.

"Oh come on! Its just a joke!" Elliot laughed as he put the cup next to my bed but I ran out my room and into the bathroom.

"Emma! It was a joke! Seriously! Im sorry!" Elliot chased after me as I grabbed the handle to the bathroom door but, it was jammed.

I roughly tryed to open the door nob but it wouldn't budge.

"Emma! I was just joking!" Eliot ran to me as I finally opened the door to the bathroom but it was too late.

I felt that tingling sensation go up my legs as a tail formed around me. I flooped onto the bathroom floor as Eliot just stood there in shook. I looked up at him as he started at my giant orange/redish tail as no words came out of my mouth. Oh shit...

Rikki's Pov

I grabbed onto my stomach as I felt terribly sick. I was still in bed as it was probably 9 in the morning. Thats when I felt that horrible sick feeling come up my throat. I jumped out of bed as I ran to the bathroom and started to puke. It was horrible as I tryed to get rid of that disgusting taste in my mouth.

"Gah, hate the flu..." I mumbled to myself as I spat into the toilet.

I sat down next to the toilet as I grabbed onto my stomach and looked down. Its not that I didnt feel well, Its just that I puked like 3 times a day. Wasn't the flu supposed to come with head aches and stuff like that?

I stood up as I looked into the small mirror. My hair looked like a mess and my face looked slightly red from the dizziness I had from puking.

I opened the cabinet droor as I took some medicine. I grabbed the glass cup next to the sink, carfully filling it up with water as I took the pill, using a straw to drink it up. After I finished drinking it, I looked at myself in the mirror again.

Maybe it would be best if I stayed home but Cleo told me that she HAD to find out what caused me to reacet like that on the full moon. Maybe that's what happens on the full moon when you were sick. I hope not cause I felt like an oven after that experience.

Ive been laying down and resting in bed sense Will told me it was best not to move around so much. I didnt want to end up puking more often but obviously, it hasn't been working. It has probably gotten worse ever since the last full moon, and what sucks even more is that, no one still knows what is causing the moon to go all crazy. I dont think the moon pool even works anymore.

I looked at my phone as I didnt see a single message from anyone. Not even Zane. I thought he would end up texting me more often after I told him we couldn't be friends but, supposedly, he has stopped. Maybe Zane is finally moving on.

I walked into my bedroom, placing my phone onto my bed as I grabbed some clothes to change into. I took off my shirt as I placed a bra around me but it suddenly felt too small. I snapped it on as it felt terribly tight on me.

"Thats strange." I thought. "I just recently bought bras like a month ago. They shouldn't feel tight on me at all. Maybe they shrunk in the washer or something." I thought as I grabbed another bra and strapped it around me but even that felt too tight.

What made it worse was that my breast felt kinda sore too; Like that sore feeling you had after you exercised and your legs hurt or something like that. I grabbed the biggest bra I had in my cabinet as it finally fit on me. I never thought I could wear that bra, it was so big.

I quickly put my shirt on as I walked out of my room.

"Hungry?" I heard my dad ask as he was fixing himself toast.

Even just the smell burnt bread made me wanna puke. I tryed to hold in the vomiting sensation as I randomly opened the refrigerator to see what it was to eat. I randomly grabbed a pear as I haven't been hungry for meat, toast or anything you had to cook. Every time I smelt it, I would end up throwing up.

"Um, im just gonna stick with fruit. Haven't been feeling so good latley." I mentioned as I took a bite from out of my pear.

"Then you go rest. I can clean the kitchen." My dad offered but I shook my head.

"Im going down to Cleo's." I quickly said, heading for the front door.

"Why would you go down to Cleo's if your sick? You dont want to end up getting her sick too." My dad explained, taking a bite from out of his toast.

"I, uh, need to return something to her. I borrowed a shirt and need to return it." I made up as I grabbed a random shirt that was on the coach.

"And she needs the shirt at this exact moment?" My dad asked, getting suspicious.

"Ill be right back. I promise." I mumbled, sounding like I was talking to myself, as I left the front door and away from my trailer.

I walked to Cleo's house, glad to finally have some fresh air as I rang on her door bell. She immediately opened the door as she dragged me inside her house.

I went to her living room to also find Bella sitting down on the floor.

"Hey Rikki! Are you feeling any better?" Bella asked as I sat down next to her.

"Ya, just fine." I lied as that natious feeling came through me again but I just took a deep breath, trying not to gag.

"Emma should be here. Shes usally never late." Cleo said as she looked at her iphone.

"It dosent matter. Atleast she wasnt the one who got boiled out by mako." I mentioned, looking down at my nails.

"Rikki, this is serious! You could of died from heat stroke if you kept heating up. You blacked out, thats how bad it was. What if it happenes again?" Cleo asked in a panicky voice.

"Well I can take care of myself. Im a big girl..." I mentioned with some annoyence in my voice.

"Were just looking out for you, thats all." Bella added, looking pretty upset with this whole situation.

"Ya, Lewis and Will are out by mako, trying to figure out what caused this, because this is seriously-" She started saying but I stopped her.

"Just looking at rock samples and being out at mako isnt going to help anyone at this point! Magic and science dont combine... Remeber?" I asked with some annoyence.

"Yes I know but there must be something that is doing this to you. We really dont want any one dying on the next full moon so please, just let them help." Cleo mentioned in frustration as I rolled my eyes at her.

"Just atleast let them try. It wont hurt." Bella added but I didnt want WIll or Lewis protecting me from this; they were getting so annoying with all the tests they have been taking out on Mako.

"Ow!" Cleo yelped as she grabbed onto her stomach and leaned in a little bit.

"What's wrong?" Bella asked in concern.

"Just cramps. I got my stupid period this morning. It sucks." Cleo complained as she grabbed onto her stomach.

"Hmm, I think I have some medicine in my back pack to help you with the pain. Just a second." Bella stood up as she walked to the kitchen to get her bag.

Immediately that's when it hit me. The last time I got my period was about the time the cafe closed down. That was over 6 weeks ago. I shook my head as I knew I was probably calculating something wrong in my head.

No, maybe I lost count of the days. I'm probably just over reacting. I thought as I knew there was something wrong.

The throwing up, my sore breast, no periods, unprotected sex... No! Im wrong. It couldn't be true! It wouldn' wasn't happening. This was probably all in my head. I am totally wrong about this. Or am I...?
