Chapter Sixteen

Lydia's POV

I huddle on the smooth sand in the moon pool, resting my head against an area of a rock wall, shivering - it's hard not to do that when you're absolutely drenched with ice cold water. Although I suppose you could say that it's more bearable than it used to be, when I first transformed, which was quite a while ago...

My eyelids start to droop as I warm up ever so slightly. I'm tired... I need to sleep... But suddenly, a splash jolts me back to reality. I turn to the pool of water to the side of me to see a girl with honey blonde hair and big blue eyes. Oh, and did I forget to mention the tail?

"Another mermaid, huh?" I question.

"The name's Emily," she says. "And you're Lydia, correct? I think we need to talk."

"Why? And how do you know my name?"

"My friend Mel met you, in here, with a tail... Would it be too much to explain to me why you don't have one now, despite being soaked?"

I roll my eyes. "It's a long story."

Emily shrugs. "I've got time."

"Look," I hiss. "I've been doing this way longer than you and your friends, or anyone for that matter, could possibly imagine. You might think you're so amazing with your super cool tail and powers but you're not. You're an insolent little brat who needs to get a hold of herself and stop acting so high and mighty. This is nothing to do with you. You never should have become a mermaid in the first place. You don't know what you're messing with. Now go back to where you came from."

Sorry if you were expecting a proper update. I just decided to add in that short bit to this author's note to give you guys something. To be honest, I feel kinda bad about just leaving you guys hanging, but I really just can't be bothered to write this any more. :( So I might give it up for adoption or something. I've kinda lost interest, I suppose. Not to mention certain things I've been dealing with like - typical me - almost getting expelled recently. ;P Emmy's been kinda absent recently (I'm right here actually) so I haven't really been having much help on this and I'm just like blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa and I don't even know what that was supposed to mean. Not gonna lie, I have commitment issues. So if you feel like adopting this, go ahead and ask me. Sorry for being such an unwrite-ish writer... I'll probably might some more random fanfics in the near or far future. ;) I can also beta read because I kinda like doing that for some reason. :P So bye forever, see you never, and whatever (I can't rhyme...).

PS. Leave a review or PM me if you want to adopt this. Thank you to anyone who has reviewed, favourited, followed, or even just read. I love you all! :*

PPS. Char, yes :P
