Emma's Pov

"I know! I swear I didn't mean for it to happen but it did! Im the biggest idiot in the world!" I complained to Ash as he had his arm wrapped around me.

"So what is Elliot going to do?" He asked as we were walking walking along the side walk which was next to the beach.

"I really dont know. After he saw me as a fish, I explained to him about my powers and how I turned into a mermaid out by Mako." I explained to him.

"Why did you tell him?" Ash asked in confusion, shocked I would even mention about mako to my little brother.

"I didn't have a choice. I knew one day he was going to find out and and I had to explain to him about how I turned into what I am. I couldn't just keep that a secret too." I mentioned as I looked down at the ground.

Ash nodded his head as I just stood there thinking how big of an idiot I am for having him find out about my secret. Who knows what he could do. What if he told my parents what i am? My parents would probably take me to a doctor to see why i am like this and then the doctor could end up putting me in a lab where they test on me!

"Oh gosh this is horrible!" I said out load as Ash just gave me a squeeze.

"Im sure whatever your brother decides to do, he wont do anything to purposely hurt you. I mean he is your brother. Why would he want anything bad to happen to you?" He asked as I looked into his brown eyes.

I relaxed a litle bit at the thought. Maybe Ash had a point. It wasnt of Elliot to go tell everyone what i am. He would already know of the consequences of what would happen if he did tell anyone.

"Your right but he might end up telling my parents!" I hesitated at the thought of him doing that.

"And the same rule aplys to them." He mentioned as I looked at him confused. "You honestly think your parent's would want to see at a lab being tested? Emma, you need to give your family a little bit of trust. Im not even your family and im still here keeping the secret, right?" He asked as he pulled me into his arms.

I sighed as I knew he was right.

"Ya but how am i going to tell the gir-"

"Hey Emma!" Cleo walked up to me as I froze in place.

"Well now you can tell them." Ash said as he loosened his grip around me.

"Tell us what?" Bella asked confused as both Cleo and Bella were looking at me in curious eyes.

I bit my lip as I knew they would be furious with me but I didnt really have much of a choice.

"Elliot found out about the secret." I finally bursted out as Bella and Cleo looked extremely shocked.

"You mean Ellitot? Your little brother?" Bella asked as Cleo had her mouth wide open.

I put my head into Ash's chest as I felt like screaming. Now i bet everyone hated me for exposing myself to my brother.

"Im so so sorry! It was an accident! He was wondering why i wouldnt go swimming with him and he thought i was scared of water and then he dumped some on me and i grew a tail and oh my gosh im in a whole load of shit." I bursted out as everyone looked concerned.

"Does he know about us?" Cleo asked a bit upset.

"No..." I softly said, extremely ashamed of what I have done.

"Dont worry about it. As long as he keeps it a secret and no one finds out about it then your gonna be ok." Bella reassured me but I just couldn't believe her.

"He might end up telling my parents though!" I complained as I was trying to hold back tears.

"Hey! Atleast it wasn't my sister who found out or we would seriously be in trouble!" Cleo mentioned with a small smile.

"And how is that supposed to make me feel better?" I asked as my head was pressed against Ash's chest.

Ash, Cleo and Bella all looked at each other, trying to figure out a way to comfort Emma but she looked too upset to even listen to what they were saying.

"Well whatever happens were here for you... Exactly what did Elliot do after you explained to him about you being a mermaid?" Ash asked in curiosity as he looked down at my head.

"All he said was"OK" and then he left the room. He hasn't spoken a word with me all morning. This is really bad. Maybe he's on to something." I snapped as my eyes were full with worry.

"No, he's probably just confused about this whole mermaid thing or maybe he thought he dreamed it and didnt know if he should talk to you." Cleo said, pausing at random words making it sound like she was making it up.

I sighed as I stopped leaning into Ash's chest.

"Maybe I should talk to him. I dont want him doing anything that could harm any of us. I should probably go." I said as I unwrapped myself out of Ash's arms.

"Ya, Lewis is waiting for me at Mako. Were still trying to figure out this whole Moon issue." Cleo said as she started walking with me.

"Good luck!" Bella yelled out as she looked behind her to look at us but I still had that horrible gut feeling that Elliot might tell someone about us...

Rikki's Pov

"Pleasant thoughts, just think plesant thoughts." I kept repeating in my head as I felt butterflies in my stomach.

My heart was beating a thousand miles per hour as I was walking along the shops they had down town.

My legs felt shaky as I was fiddling with my fingers. I was walking down the side walk as I looked above myself to see the signs that were above the stores.

Hollister, Pac Sun, 7 eleven, Rib city..." I was reading off the signs as I was walking down a steep hill.

"Safe way, Abrocombie, Pharmacy... Pharmacy!" I read again as I nervously walked into the store.

I pushed the door open as you heard a little dinging sound like some small bells. There was medicine neatly organized in self's as there was a fat guy watching something on a small tv, siting in a chair. He didn't even care I walked in. It was dead silent, as there was no one in the store. This just made me even more nervous.

"Welcome to the pharmacy store. We have aspirin, antibiotics, pills and other stuff. Just ask if you need something" The guy randomly yelled out as he went back to watching t.v.

I ignored him as I looked down the shelf's of the store.

"Where the hell could it be?" I asked myself as I looked through small containers of medicine.

There was one thing for sure, and that I was not asking the fat guy what I needed or that would of been extremely awkward. I skimmed through shelfs looking for what I needed but I couldn't find it, making me even more frustrated.

I went to the back of the store where they had tubes of aspirin and that's when I saw it. I saw the two simple words in front of me: Pregnacy Test.

I took a deep breath as I reached out in front of me and took the small white rectangular box from off the shelf's.

I nervously walked to the front desk and madly threw the pregnancy test onto the counter. The fat guy strangely looked at me as he knew I only looked 18 or 19 years old.

He didn't say anything as he scanned the pregnacy test under the light and looked at his computer screen.

"That'll be 14.99" He said as I grabbed my wallet and randomly took out some five and one dollar bills.

He took the cash as he put it in the machine, handing me the pregnacy test.

"Just saying. You know if your pregnant if your nipples start turning brown." He smirked as I gave him a gross look.

First of all, how would he know that and now he was just crepping me out.

"How do you know its for me?" I snapped back, giving him a disgusted face.

"Well you look like your trying to hide something plus you look like one of these teenage girls who often come around to make sure their not pregnant." He mentioned as he grabbed a kit-kat and started munching on it.

"So your calling me a slutt?" I madly asked as I squeezed the pregnancy test in my hands.

"Nope. Just saying. Need a key?" He asked, pointing to one of the bathrooms.

I knew it would be best if I just took it here so then my dad wouldn't catch me with a pregnacy test, but the fact that this dude was kinda creepy, made me wanna leave the store. I sighed as I saw he had a key on his desk.

"Sure I guess." I awkwardly said as he handed me a bronze key that was attached to a string.

I slowly walked away from the counter as I headed toward the direction of the bathroom.

"Oh by the way! If your test comes out negative, we have condoms for 20% off!" He yelled out as I rolled my eyes and shut the bathroom door behind me.

I locked the door as there was only a toilet and a sink there. I took a deep breath as I looked down at the pregnacy test.

"Here goes nothing..." I mumbled to myself as I opened the box and went to use the bathroom.

It just felt so awkward having to pee on this plastic stick and now it's supposed to determine if im having a baby or not.

I stood up, pulled up my pants as I thew the pregnancy test into the sink. I had to wait for 5 minutes for the results to come up. 5 minutes would probably feel like 5 hours since my legs were already shaky from how nervous I was. I even felt like puking, not because of what could be the cause of pregnancy but the fact that this platic thing was suposed to determine my future.

I nervously walked back and fourth across the bathroom as I looked at my watch. It's been 4 minutes. The results should probably be in. I thought as I went to the sink.

I picked up the white piece of plastic as you could barley see what the results were saying. It was still appearing on the tube as i shook it so it could dry off.

"Come on damn it! Just tell me what it is!" I whispered in frustration as I saw it start to appear.

"Please don't be pregnant, please don't be pregnant, please don't be pregnant." I repeatedly said as I stiffened up to read the results.

Right in front of me it showed a bright green plus sign as my eyes went wide. I shook the pregnacy test again as I still saw the green plus sign on it.

"No No No! It must be wrong! It cant be!" I yelled, hoping there was no one in the store who could over hear me.

I closed my eyes, and slowly opened them, hoping it would magically change into a negative red sign but nope, that stupid green plus sign was still there!

"Damn it!" I yelled as I angrily threw the pregnancy test across the room as it landed in the garbage.

I took deep breaths as I walked back and fourth across the room.

"Well 96% of the time a pregnancy test is right, maybe it had a mistake or something." I told myself but the chances that it was wrong was very unlikely.

I felt like crying but I wouldn't let myself. I sat down in the corner of the bathroom as I barried my head in my arms in frustration. How was everyone going to react to this? How was my dad going to take this? Would he kick me out of the house? The worst one of all was, how was I gonna tell Zane?
