Missing Mermaid

by h2o42

Cleo and Rikki were having a mermaid race. Cleo went on what she thought was a "shortcut" at the time, she soon discovers that she is in a more public swimming area. If she would have stopped to see where she was she would've turned back, but she didn't. What happens to Cleo? How will the others react when they find out there is a missing mermaid?

1. Chapter 1

Hey! This is my new story I hope you enjoy it!

Cleo's POV:

Rikki, Emma, and I dived into the water from off the dock when no one was watching. We splashed into the water, and swam off once our tails had formed. Emma, Rikki and I were swimming around with the fish and dolphins. Emma swam into the moon pool. Rikki and I reluctantly followed her, knowing she probobly wanted to say something. Emma surfaced. Rikki and I came above the water after Emma. I going to rest here for a minute. You guys go and swim Ill be out again in a minute! Emma announced. Rikki made a mock surprise face," Emma wants to take a rest! That's a first!" Said rikki in a mock surprised tone matching her expression. Rikki laughed. "Okay, see you in a minute Em! She called. Rikki ducked under the water and swam out of the moon pool. I smiled and said a quick, "See you in a minute!" I went under the water, and swam at super speed out of the moon pool. I caught up with rikki and I smiled. She smiled back, I suggested a race with by putting up a 3 fingers 2, and 1, as a countdown and shrugged my shoulders to ask her if she wanted to race. She nodded her head. I knew I wasn't going to win, I like to look around at the ocean and take my time even during races. I occasionly like to speed swim though. But, I wanted to do a race because I know Rikki loves races. She made a countdown with her fingers, when she reached 1 I speed swam around, and decided to take a path I thought could be a shortcut back to the moon pool, because we always use the moon pool as the finish line! I took the what I so called a "shortcut" at the momment. I didn't know it but I was out in more public swimming area, see when your speed swimming you get places extremely fast. This was no exception, I was at a more public swimming area in about 10 secounds. I didn't stop to look around as I usually do, If I had, I might not have been in this mess, I would've been much better off, I would've turned back before it was to late,

but I didn't.

Clifhanger! I hope you enjoyed chapter 1!( just a note No, Cleo isn't going to get injured or anything!) I know it was short, but I wanted to have this as the ending. Chapter 2 will most likely be a better sized chapter! Tell me what you think and leave a Review! Thanks,
