Chapter 4

Rikki's POV

Zane looked at me when I screamed.

"Why do I have a tail?" I asked

"It's a really long story."

"Give me the short version."

"When you touch water, you turn into a mermaid. You were turned into one at Mako Island with Cleo and Emma."

I looked at him. He stared back. "You are insane, Zane and who is Cleo? Who is Emma?"

"Look at yourself! I am not lying. You have a tail. Cleo and Emma are your friends. Bella is also a mermaid."

"Who?" I asked.

"Never mind Rikki," said Zane.

Oh my god. I'm a fish. Why me? Wait. I probably have been this way for a while.

"How long have I been a fish?"

"A couple years," he said as if it was no big deal.

"Years?"

I looked down at my tail and it all went black…..Again.

When I came to, there was a different doctor there along with Zane and the previous doctor. They were all staring at me.

"What?" I asked. They just kept staring at me. It was creepy. "Can I help you guys or are you just gonna keep staring at me?" I asked.

"Sorry Rikki. It's just that your wound…" Zane said.

"What about it?" I asked.

The doctor that I never saw before answered my question. "Your wound is healed completely. It is impossible." He looked at me with a perplexed expression on his face. The doctor I have seen before did the same thing.

"What?" My hand immediately went to the back of my head. The bandage was gone and there was no cut. No trace that I was ever hurt. "If my head is healed, then why is my memory still gone?" I asked.

"That is what we are trying to figure out," one of the doctors said. They left the room. Only Zane and I were left in the room.

"Why can't I remember?" I asked him. I start to cry. Something that I don't know if I usually do.

Zane ran to me and sat down on the bed next to me. He put his arms around me and I cried into his shoulder.

I cried for what seemed like forever. I pulled away and looked at Zane. My hair was in my face and he moved it away and out of my eyes. Zane bent his head down and my lips met his. We kissed until we were interrupted by a man clearing his throat.

I looked in the direction of the man.

"Rikki?" he asked.

"Do I know you?" I asked.

"Zane, what happened?" he asked the boy I was kissing only a minute ago.

"She lost her memory when someone hit her over the head." He turned to me. "Rikki, this is your Dad."

My dad ran towards my and said, "Do you remember me at all? Anything?"

"No. I'm sorry. I didn't even know my name until Zane told me it," I said.

"We will find out what happened and who did this to you. I promise." My dad hugged me as soon as Zane let go.

I talked to my dad for hours. He told me everything that happened. Including what happened with me and Zane. He only told me this when Zane went home to shower and get food.

"He kissed another girl?" I asked my dad.

"Yeah. You broke up with him, but then he came to my trailer and said that you said that you loved him."

"I don't remember."

"From the way you were kissing him, I think what he said is true. I believe that you love him even though you don't remember him completely."

He was right. I could feel my love for him.

"Thanks Dad."

"No problem darling."

We talked more about my life and kept talking. Zane called and I told him to stay home and get some rest. He deserved it.

Another memory came back to me. It was about this bitch named Denmen. She found out who we were and we gave it up, but it only lasted 12 hours. Why do random memories come back? Why can't they make sense?

I just want everything to go back to the way they were.
