Hey guys, thanks for all the great comments =). Um, sorry i dont post very often, i've bee busy. Tomorrow of later I'll have more up here. I think we're almost done with it. Not sure. Oh well, hope you enjoy =)
We went back home. I hadn't expected to see my car, but Keith had drove it here. Once more, we had to gather with the wolves to talk. This was absolutely ridiculous. Never in our history had we even met in the same room, and today we were meeting twice in less than twenty-four hours.
I knew what I had to do. "My people, wolves, and Joseph, I greatly apologize for my lack of leadership today. You must understand that everything has been quite...off for me in the last few weeks. I have not been the leader that has been expected of me and that is unacceptable. I have something to tell all of my people, but it will have to wait until later."
Right then, I felt like crying. I had been a leader ever since I could remember, and now I was going to resign? This isn't how I was raised. I was raised to be strong no matter what, but this was too much to take in at once.
"I haven't told you everything about the mating process yet. First, I need two people." I said, and grabbed two random people, one from my side and one from the wolf side.
"Let's say that these two were mates. Well, if I kill the wolf male, then the mermaid female dies with him." They sat back down. "It's not just a random death. Everyone is connected. Everyone in this room right now has a mate. If they die, their mates die with them. That's why when you guys killed my people, your people died. Those were all mates, and they didn't even know it. It's sad really, very sad indeed."
Amanda, you will not cry, you will not!
The door opened and my grandmother came in. What the...
"Grandma?" I asked, and came over to push her the rest of the way.
She smiled, "Hello Amanda. Ah, it feels so good to get out of that old retirement home."
"Grandma, what are you doing here?"
"Oh nothing, just watching my granddaughter being the leader that she has always been." She smiled. Of course, she would show up now and say that.
"Can we continue please?" He said, and I nodded.
"Yes, of course, um, well, the thing that I have to tell you all is-"
The doors burst open and I heard someone scream, "Humans!" And they were right, but it was only three of them. Two boys and a girl. They were all teenagers and had knives, guns, and what looked like poison on a belt.
The girl held up the gun and pointed it to my people while the oldest looking boy pointed it to the wolves. The youngest of them was just standing there watching us all.
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way." The girl said.
I came up to her and said, "How about you just leave us all alone before someone gets hurt?"
She smiled and I took a gun to the face. Oh hell no.
She had done it now.
My eyes were glowing at this point and I was uncontrollable. I grabbed her by the neck and lifted her feet from the floor.
Then, the bitch took the little bottle that was attached to part of her belt and dumped half of it on me. Oh, shit. I knew what this was.
I dropped her and tried to remove the powder from my skin, but it was too late. I was already in pain, my mermaid was taking over, and I was changing.
There was no water around here, I was going to die. It was my time. That meant that everyone was going to die, and the only one that could stop it was the girl.
