Chapter 5

Rikki's POV

Five days after waking up in the hospital.

"Finally!" I said as I walked out of the hospital lobby. They finally released me. I still have no memory of my past except little flashes here and there.

Zane took me to my trailer and we found my spare key (it was under the rug. Really? I couldn't find a better place?). I walked inside and looked around.

"Anything familiar to you?" Zane asked.

"All I remember is that I was worried about something. I can't remember what." I spotted my phone on the table beside my bed. I picked it up and looked at my recent calls. I made a bunch of calls to a girl named Emma. Wasn't she one of my mermaid friends?

"Was Emma one of the other mermaids?" I asked Zane.

"Yeah. Why do you ask?"

"I called her a bunch of times and she might be the one I'm worried about." I looked at him.

"Maybe." He took my phone out of my hand.

"Hey!" I said.

Zane dialed a number and waited for the person to answer while I tried to get my phone back. I finally gave up when the person on the other line picked up.

"Cleo?" Zane asked. "Yeah, it's Zane."

He talked to Cleo and I just sat on the couch and turned on the tv. They talked for a couple minutes and then Zane said goodbye and hung up.

"You called Cleo asking about Emma," he said. He started dialing again and I just relaxed.

"Emma isn't picking up." As soon as he said that, I remembered something.

"Oh!" I yelled.

"What?" Zane asked.

"The mermaid in the pool."

"Huh?" Zane might've said something else but I ran outside. He followed me.

"How do I get to that pool?" I asked Zane, "it was in a cave and just tell me how to get there." I looked at him.

"The moon pool?" he asked.

"I guess."

He told me that it was at Mako Island. We ran to the docks and got into his zodiac.

We got there and he pulled his boat onto the sand.

"Why are we here Rikki?" he asked, but I ignored him. I felt something pulling me there. I can't explain it.

I could see how to get there perfectly in my head. I just started walking and Zane followed.

"How do you know where to go? You don't have any memories. Wait. Do you remember something?" he asked me.

"I might. I just feel like I have to go there." He stopped me.

"Not today Rikki. You just got out of the hospital. We don't want you back in there. Anyway, it's getting dark. We have to go back." I looked at him in disbelief.

"I might actually remember something and you are stopping me?" I couldn't believe him.

He tried to say something but he didn't get the chance. Fire flew out of my hands and hit him in his arm. He screamed in pain. I stared at my hands. Zane screamed and I looked at him. I ran toward him and looked at his arm.

"Zane I am so sorry. I don't know what happened!" I said

He started to back away and said, "Stay away from me." He got up and ran away.

"Zane!" I screamed and ran after him.

I looked for him for a while. I finally gave up after what seemed like five hours.

"How do I get back to the beach?" I asked myself. I looked around and realized that I don't know where I am.

"Great. Just great."

I walked around and nothing looked familiar. I couldn't feel the pull to the pool anymore. How did I shoot fire from my hands? I remember Zane telling my about my power, but I thought that I just heat things up.

I hurt him. I burned him. I sat on the ground and cried. How could I hurt the guy I loved. I eventually fell asleep.

The two men shot their guns and ran even faster. They put on some scuba gear and saw something at the bottom of the ocean.

The water around it was turning red. They put a net on the thing and swam to the surface.

They got their gear off and talked.

"Think that it's her?" the first guy asked.

The other man was about to answer, but I slipped into darkness.

I woke up on the ground. I remembered where I was.

I got up and started walking. Something tells me that I'm going to be here a while.

Zane's POV

I can't believe Rikki did that.

Shit! My arm hurts!

I walked onto the beach and got on my zodiac.

Will she be okay? Wait. What am I saying? She burnt me. How can I be concerned about her? I mean, yeah I love her, but she threw fire at me. I didn't even know that she could do that.

I decided to leave. She can find her own way home. I don't care.

I don't think I love her anymore.

Five days later.

I was at the café when an important message came on the TV.

This girl has been missing for five days. If anyone has seen her please contact this number.

I didn't listen to the number. I just looked at the picture.

It was a picture of Rikki.

I ran out of the cafe and headed for the docks.

"I am so stupid. Of course she wouldn't find her way. She has no memory," Zane said to himself.

"Who are you talking to?"

Zane turned around and saw Cleo.

"Cleo!"

"You didn't answer my question."

"I was talking to myself."

"Why."

"It's a long story."

"Then give me the short version," Cleo said.

I told her everything. She just stared at me when I finished.

"What the hell is the matter with you Zane? If she has no memory, why would you leave her on Mako?"

"I know! I'm stupid! Don't you think I know that! She could be dead and it's all my fault!"

"Finally. You have a breakdown about Rikki. Do you know how long I have waited to see this?" I just stared at her. "What are we doing standing here? Let's go find Rikki." She jumped into the water and I headed to Mako

I promise Rikki. I will save you. No matter what happens. I have no doubts now.

I do love you.

Rikki's POV

How long have I been here? Why can't I move? I need food. I can't scream for help anymore. All I can do is think and even that is going away. How did I get here?

Did I hurt someone?

Oh my god!

Zane. The man I love. The man I burned. He will never forgive me.

Someone?

Anyone?

Please come.

Help me!
