Chapter 18

A Happy Ending

CammieSarah51- Yes I know, it is depressing, (that's the point)

laniec21- Thank you, I know both chapters are great. You wanna know how? 'Cause we're connected... sorry I watched Iron Man 3, and that part is STUCK IN MY FACE!

Q: What is your favorite color? A: By the way, I don't know if this is a real question, or the tacos question, but from my pen name you can see that my favorite color is indigo. Derrr... And yes I do like tacos!

Q: do mernaids have tv? A: If they want one, then I guess yeah sure, I just didn't put a t.v. in this story because, y'know, I didn't really, I didn't really think about it... YOU'RE MAKING ME NERVOUS!

Q: why isMarcus hurt? A: Well, in chapter 16, Bella curled her fingers at Marcus because she was angry when he tried to protect Didyme, and so she made him bow down, and I guess I just added the pain in there somehow. I don't pay that much attention to this. I'm just typing what's in my notebook.

Q: isn't there anyway you can save Morgan A: No, she died... the end.

Q: What inspired you to base your story off of mermaids? A: Well, I read that God made all kinds of creatures, I thought, 'Nobody said He didn't make things like mermaids somewhere as well.' So that got me thinking a lot about mermaids. Then I heard that scientists have only discovered about 26.5% of the ocean's creatures which made me think, 'BAM! NO ONE CAN SAY THAT THEY DON'T EXIST! THEY'VE JUST NEVER BEEN DISCOVERED YET!' Then I found out about , and at the time I was a GIGANTIC Twilight fan, still am, so I decided, 'Eh, why not, it could be fun!' That is how I was inspired.

Remember when I said there are two mermaids finding their love? Well now there is two mermaids and one particularly cute jellyfish...

DISCLAIMER TIME!

Twilight, I own not.

Carlisle's POV

"All you have to do is kill many other vampires. They drink blood of thousands of humans a month!" I tried. This has been going on for much too long and I was beginning to worry about my family.

"What do we get out of it?" The pack leader, Sam, asked.

"You will get to meet a new species. They're stronger than you. They're stronger than us," Sam thought for a while.

"It was foolish of you to come alone."

"I only wanted to show you that I meant no harm."

"What is this 'new species' you're talkin' about?"

"They are... You'll think I'm crazy, mermaids." The wolves behind Sam barked a laugh.

"How many vampires are there?" Sam asked.

"Too many," I replied sternly.

"We'll go. Just don't do any more foolish things," Sam said strictly, walking past me and the pack following with a skip in their step, and a fire in their eyes. I pulled out my phone and called Rosalie.

"Where are the Volturi?"

Rosalie's POV

"They're back in Forks. We stopped them at the borderline of Oregon and told them to come back," I told Carlisle and hung up. I felt like Emmett and I were sheep dogs corralling monsters.

When we got back to the battle field, the first thing I spotted was Morgan. What a shame, I thought, I actually kind of liked her.

The Volturi were now trying to get passed the mermaids but they hissed and bared their claws.

"Rosalie!" I heard someone whisper. I looked where Emmett and I left Alice, Jasper, Edward, and Esme and surely enough now, Carlisle had joined them along with eight dark brown glowing eyes. I ran over to them as fast as I could and the scent of wet dog hit me like a ton of bricks. They were assigned to only kill the guards. And they better only kill guards.

Bella's POV

Lindsey looked at us with no emotion and stood up.

"I'll be princess, when Didyme leaves."

"Where would I go?" Didyme scoffed, looking amused, but had a wild nervousness in her eyes.

"You will live with Marcus," Lindsey almost commanded. Didyme looked at Marcus hopefully then flashed her eyes at Aro and shook her head.

"No. I'm not going," Marcus almost let out a whimper.

"Really?" Lindsey said.

"I'm not leaving the Elders," Lindsey had a look of absolute irritation. She turned her head to the forest where eight mysterious eyes were looking through the bushes and tall grass. Lindsey nodded her head to the guard of the Volturi and eight massive beasts leaped out of the brush and lunged toward the guard. The vampires didn't stand a chance. Though they had heightened senses and reflexes, they were all too stunned to see these creatures to move in time. Nine vampires were killed and only one stood. She seemed protected by the three leaders.

Her name was Jane. From behind the shoulders of the leaders Aro, Cauis, and Marcus, she maliciously smiled at the wolf whose fur coat was black. He broke down in pain and all the others moaned and howled. They shook their heads while huffing, trying to ignore it.

I curled my fingers around any blood I could find in Jane's body and forced it all to her head. She became weak and fell, only because I ripped off her head with my power. The Volturi screeched and the wolves started to prowl closer to them.

"Okay! Okay! I'll go!" Didyme cried. She tried to control her sobs but soon she broke down crying. Marcus walked over and held her in his arms.

The wolves soon morphed into humans behind the trees. When they emerged, they were wearing torn shorts and no shirt, except the female who wore a gray tank top. Odd, only one female?

"Thank you. We are very grateful," I said to the one who seemed to be the leader. Lindsey smiled to the one on the leaders right, and then to the right of that boy.

"You are mermaids?" The leader said with a stern tone.

"Yes."

"You are the leader of your... group?"

"Colony," I said. I looked back at Lindsey, the new princess. She nodded, "And yes, I'm the leader."

"Then we must speak," he called me over with his finger. Edward ran over to me and grabbed my shoulders, giving me a concerned look. I kissed his hands as they fell to his sides. "Stay, I'll be fine," I stretched up to his ear and whispered, "I love you." He just smiled and watched me walk off with the wolf leader.

Night had arrived on this sad day as I held the head of my beloved sister, Morgan. We grew up together and died together. She was my best friend and now she's gone.

One of the werewolves walked next to me and kneeled down.

"I bet she was beautiful," he told me.

"She was," I said, on the verge of breaking down. His warm hand touched my back.

"I think you're beautiful, too," He complimented sweetly. I looked into his glowing brown eyes, shocked. He held out his hand in the small space between us and gave me the warmest of smiles, "Jacob... Black. My name's Jacob Black," he laughed at his silliness, "What's your name, pretty woman?" I took his calloused hand and shook it.

"MaKayla... Matton," I said with a smile. Something about him made me smile like this, though I was sad only seconds ago for the loss of my sister, he took that emotion and through it away.

Misi's POV

"Go talk to one of the wolves!" Alice said, a mischievous smile on her lips.

"No, I'm good," I said back, crossing my arms.

"But they're funny!" she whispered with a huff. I was a bit shy around boys.

"Don't make me make you talk to them!"

"I'd like to see you try!" She couldn't move me! Though I was only a few inches taller than her, I was a billion times stronger than her. What is she going to do? Carry them over here?

"Hey guys! Come'ere!" She called. The female and the youngest looking boy came over. Thank goodness.

"Meet my friend, Misi!" Alice squealed. Nobody did anything. The female crossed her arms and walked away silently, and the boy smiled, embarrassed. He was very handsome. For a while we stared at each other. I wonder if her felt uncomfortable with me staring at him without a shirt on.

"Ugh! Do I have to do it for you?" Alice exclaimed. I snapped out of it and made a little smile. I shyly extended my hand to him.

"I'm Misi Platt," I said politely and quietly. His smile grew at my voice and he took my hand.

"Seth Clearwater, nice to meet you, Misi," he said, no longer shy or nervous.

Alice crossed her arms smugly. Her eyes twinkled in the night.

Bella's POV

When Sam and I were finished talking, we were shocked to see MaKayla under the arm of Jacob and Misi jogging away from Seth and the rest of the pack who seemed to be running at full speed. Lindsey, Katie, and Mackenzie were speaking with Lily. Didyme had already left, along with the Volturi, where Aro and Cauis were awfully angry at her and the rest of the mermaids for destroying their top guards.

After Sam had left to speak with Carlisle, I took Edward by the hand and approached Lily.

"Isabella!" Lily cried awkwardly, "I didn't tell them where you were, I swear! I kept it a secret that you left!"

"Don't worry," I said easily. Her eyes twinkled with unshed tears and glowed in the darkness of the night. I let go of Edward's hand and mock bowed in front of Lindsey.

"Your majesty, Princess Lindsey," I said obnoxiously and playfully. She put her hand on my hand gently. I looked up and saw sadness in her eyes before she masked it with excitement.

"I need to pack! So do you! And you, too! You're part of the Elders now! Oh! There is so much to do!" Lindsey feigned worry and winked at me before hopping away and giving the Cullens a hug good-bye. We, meaning our colony, would give Katie, Mackenzie, and Lindsey the last good-bye hugs later. I leaned into Edward, happy, but I felt we were forgetting something...

"Tick! He's still in the ocean!" I zoomed away, letting Edward catch up when we reached the beach. I sang Tick's short little song. Sounding as if I were a whale, only with a voice of an angel. Soon enough, a jellyfish made itself known. But it wasn't Tick, this jellyfish was female. Tick slowly appeared from behind her. I picked him up in a small orb of saltwater with the female jellyfish in it. She was as clear as th water I was holding her in with salt white outlines. You could see right through her head, except for her light pink tentacles.

"Who's this Tick?" I asked confused.

"Oh, she's wonderful!" His voice echoed from his blue skin, "She's a Water Jelly, Bella! She's from Canada! She's so nice and beautiful, isn't she?" Tick cheered. If Tick likes her, she must be special. I looked at her, she was sort of... graceful.

I reached through the water and stroked her head and tentacles. I heard a beautiful and high pitched song come from her.

"Hello, what's your name? I'm Bella," I said gently. Though she was a bit bigger than Tick, she hid behind him quickly. I heard a slight whisper.

"Pardon me?" I said.

"Nevammmmmuh," she mumbled louder.

"One more time please?"

"Nevaeh," she finally said loud enough. I noticed she had a slight French accent.

"That's beautiful! What does your name mean?"

"Heaven," she mumbled again.

"Wow! Do you want to meet my boyfriend? Be careful! He's a stinky-head!" I made a silly face for her amusement. Nevaeh giggled sweetly. I moved so she could see Edward. He waved but then huffed at me.

"I am not a stinky-head!" He pouted and crossed his arms playfully. Tick and Nevaeh laughed their cute laughs like hysterical children.

"What do you think? Do you think he's a stinky-head?" I asked.

"No..."

"Really? Then what is he?"

"He's a SUPER stinky-head!" She cried doing twirls in the water. I had to laugh at that.

"What? What did she call me?" Edward couldn't hear their high pitched voices. I turned to around to face him.

"Nothing, nothing at all," I winked at him, then turned back to the orb of saltwater.

"C'mon Nevaeh, do you want to see fire?" I remember the first time I showed Tick fire, he was entranced with the light for hours.

"Yes!" She cried while she danced around Tick gracefully. I ran through the forest as slow as Edward with the orb flying behind us.

When we reached the battlefield again, the fire glowed and danced over the dead bodies of the Volturi and Elder guards. With Morgan sitting peacefully on them all, it was a bit scary. Her head sat on her detached neck.

A sight I thought I'd never see was Misi surrounded by the werewolf boys and holding hands with Seth. She was always very shy around guys but it looks like she caught the attention of a few. MaKayla was bittersweetly leaning on the shoulder of Jacob. She had a sad smile on her face as she slept quietly, not so peacefully. Jacob watched her sleep, slightly his eyelids got heavier and he rested his head on her's. The Cullens surrounded the fire in pairs and sat in the grass with their mates. They watched its tongue lick the night sky and all the scattered body parts that is helping it live. I sat down next to Alice and she whispered into my ear, "I love you, mother," before pulling away and rested in between Jasper's legs. I did the same with Edward and leaned on his chest. I watched the fire as well with orb on my knees as the water sparkled on my face as did the glow of the fire.

I had found my daughter, the love of my life, my new families, freedom of the mermaid kingdom, a happy Tick, and my happiness by escaping that ghastly castle.

I smiled and thought to myself...

What a happy ending every princess should have.

THE STORY IS NOT FINISHED! THERE IS AN EPILOGUE!

But you CAN stop reading here if you positively HATE Lindsey. The Epilogue is pretty much just the rest of her story and what goes on from then on with her. Not much bout Bella and her lubby dub. Or Tick and his lubby dubber.

I laughed out loud when I saw how many people forgot to say 'Post Name' when they usually do. No offense, not calling you stupid but it was pretty funny.
