Hey guys! I'm back! Sorry for such a long wait but I've been piled with school work ever since I got back from spring break. Hopefully I'll be back on schedule with the story now. And I'm so happy because this story got over 50 reviews already! Thanks guys for reviewing! It really makes my day when I read what you say about this story! Especially you Ditz! Well, here is the next chapter! I do not own H20: Just Add Water. Enjoy!
Everything was blurry. I could see barely five feet in front of me. Suddenly, my vision cleared. In front of me was the girls trapped in a giant fish tank. I tried to break the glass, but it seemed to be indestructible. As I kept bashing onto the tank, a figure appeared. It was Denman. "You failed Will. You failed to protect your friends."
"Shut up!" I yelled back feeling very guilty. "Let them go!"
"They're my property now Will," Denman smirked. "And it's your entire fault. You are worthless. You are nothing. You are helpless...
"Noooooo!" I screamed as I jolted upward from my bed. Sweat drenched my face and I was breathing like I just ran a marathon. My mom opened the door to my room with a frantic look on her face.
"Will! Are you okay?" she asked as she sat on the side of my bed.
I wiped the sweat off of my forehead. It's actually kind of funny because you would think that sweat would make me grow a tail, but it doesn't. It's the same with tears. I guess if the water comes from your body, you don't grow a tail. "Yeah, I'm fine," I breathed.
"What happened?"
I looked at my mom sheepishly. I thought it was stupid that I got this worked up over a dream. I mean it's just a dream. It's not real. "I had a bad dream," I whispered.
She then went total mother-mode on me. "Will! Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?" She asked with a serious look on her face.
I chuckled a little. "Mom, I'm completely fine. There's no need to worry."
"Okay," my mom sighed with relief as if a weight had been lifted off of her chest. "What was it about?"
I froze for a minute, and then I regained my composure. "I don't even remember actually," I said with a shrug.
"Okay good. I don't need my soon-to-be sixteen year old to be down in the dumps," my mom smirked.
I immediately scowled at her. "You're not planning anything are you?" I asked skeptically.
"Of course not!" my mom said a little too quickly. "Well, I'll be downstairs if you need me!" My mom then ran out my room with a smile on her face.
I hope she wasn't planning anything. I don't really like to celebrate my birthday. Heck, the only one of the gang who knows about it is Lauren. Suddenly my phone rang. I immediately grabbed it and saw that Rikki was calling me. She probably wanted to meet up soon. I pressed "Answer" and before I even got a chance to speak, Rikki started screaming at me. Oh boy, here we go I thought.
"Why didn't you tell us that your birthday is in two days?! Rikki screamed as I heard Emma and Cleo in the background agreeing with her.
"Uhh, I forgot?" I shrugged.
"Of course you did," Rikki said not believing a word.
"Who told you?" I asked although I'm pretty sure I already knew the answer.
"Lauren told us!" Rikki replied.
"Lauren!" I snapped.
"Oops, sorry," I heard Lauren giggle in the background.
"Well, now that I'm done with my rampage, how about we meet up with you at Mako?"
"Sounds good!" I said.
"See you there!"
With that, Rikki and I disconnected. I started to throw some clothes on and clean my room. Not long after I was done, Kyle walked into the room. "How's Fishy doing this morning?" he asked with a playful smirk.
"Call me that again and I'll boil your insides," I shot back.
"Oh yeah, I forgot you could do that!" Kyle laughed.
" Yeah, keep that in mind. Well I gotta go," I said. "I'm meeting the girls at Mako."
"Wait, why would you go to Mako? Isn't it infested with sharks?"
"They don't bother me. So why should I be afraid of them?"
"Good point," my brother agreed. "And you said 'girls'. I'm assuming besides Lauren you mean Cleo, Rikki, and Emma right? You practically are together every second of the day. Then that means that they're mermaids too."
"Oops," I said. "I think I said too much."
"Don't worry, I won't tell. Those three girls are like sisters to you. I couldn't expose them even if I wanted to."
I felt so relieved. "Thanks Kyle."
"No problem," he smiled.
I then walked out back to the dock. I took a glance around me to see if anyone around. The coast was clear so I dived into the water. I wanted to take my time going to Mako because I wanted to enjoy myself. It's funny actually. I've been a merman for so long that I feel that I wouldn't be able to survive without my tail. Sure, there's always the chance that I could get discovered by a mad scientist or something, but it's worth it. What has been given to me is a gift, and it's a gift I've grown to love. As I entered the moon pool, I saw that the girls were already there. "What's up guys?" I asked casually as I swam to the ledge.
"Think fast!" Cleo giggled as she threw a sphere of water at me. I didn't have any time to react, so I just held up my hand and waited for the water to hit my face, but it never did. I opened my eyes to see that the sphere was frozen in midair.
"Thanks Emma," I said thinking that she was the one who froze the sphere.
"That wasn't me," Emma said with wide eyes.
"Was it you Lauren?" I asked.
"It wasn't me either," she said looking exactly like Emma.
"I think... You did it Will," Rikki said thoughtfully.
"That's impossible! I don't have that power!"
"There's only one way to find out," Cleo said as she made another sphere rise out of the water.
I sighed then held up my hand the way Emma and Lauren do. Not even a second later, the sphere turned to a solid ball of ice. "You've got to be kidding me," I said with disbelief. "I've got all three powers."
"Isn't that something?" Rikki laughed.
"You're so lucky!" Cleo said.
"I guess," I said as I looked at my hand. How long have I had the power of cryokinesis? It might be possible that I had it the whole time. I never really did take the time to see if I had the power anyway. "Well, on another note, where's Lewis?"
Cleo sneered. "Probably drooling over Denman at her lab. At the marine park the other day, I snuck in the lab and saw an article on her computer called 'H2O: Just Add Water'. I think she's doing research on our DNA samples."
"Denman's gonna be asking a lot more questions now! Lewis better not reveal us!" Lauren said sternly.
"He won't," I said confidently. Suddenly, we all heard the sound of a boats motor nearing Mako Island.
"You sure 'bout that?" Rikki asked with an eyebrow raised. We all then swam out of the moon cave and into the open water. When our heads surfaced, we saw Lewis and Denman in diving gear getting ready to go for a dive. Hell no. You've gotta be kidding me. Of all the places Lewis could bring Denman, he brought her here?! I took a glance towards Rikki and I noticed that she had the same anger plastered all over her face. In fact, everyone was angry, with the exception of Cleo. She looked like she was more hurt than angry. As Denman and Lewis got in the position to dive, the girls and I hid behind some rocks so we could spy on them. Seconds later, they dove into the water and started to swim around to collect samples and whatnot. I could really care less though. I was pretty pissed at this whole situation. Lewis just threw us under the bus without a second thought. Honestly, if Denman wasn't with Lewis, I probably would've burnt him to death. Okay, maybe I wouldn't do that, but still. Suddenly, Lewis caught sight of Rikki and swam in her direction. She quickly swam away, but Lewis caught sight of her tail. I could see his face scrunch up in confusion and annoyance. Before Denman came our way, we decided to leave and confront Lewis about this later. As we swam to the mainland, I motioned for the girls to follow me. We all swam back to my dock and dried off. I knew my mom and dad wouldn't be home because they were at work. When we walked through the backdoor, Kaylie saw our expressions and came up to me.
"What's wrong?" she asked with concern.
"Lewis brought Denman to Mako Island."
"Who's Denman?"
Emma answered for me. "She's a marine biologist. If she found out what we were, she would dissect us for sure."
"That's really bad!" Kaylie squealed.
"Tell us something we don't know," Rikki said flatly.
"What's this talk about dissecting?" Kyle asked as he walked into the living room.
Emma, Rikki, and Cleo froze up. " Lewis almost exposed us to a marine biologist," Lauren said "If she found out we were mermaids, our lives would be over."
"Lauren!" the girls snapped. Oh, I forgot. They didn't know that Kyle knew the secret.
"Guys, chill out," I said calmly. "Kyle knows. He won't tell a soul."
"Are you sure?" Cleo asked skeptically.
"Cleo, I know when my brother is lying to me. He wasn't lying this time. No need to worry."
"Okay good."
As the girls started to explain how it was being a mermaid to Kyle, I heard a knock on the door. I strolled over to it and didn't bother to see who was knocking. I just absentmindedly opened the door. Now facing me was a confused and nervous Lewis. All the anger boiled up inside me again. Lewis was going to get what was coming to him.
Oh boy, this'll be good.
Another chapter done! Will has all three powers now, but they definitely won't go to his head like a certain redhead we hopefully all know! Anyway, the next chapter should be out tomorrow! Also, if you didn't know, Jonathan M. Shiff (the maker of H2O) made a spinoff series called Mako Mermaids! Call me weird, but I can't wait till it's released in the US! I'm counting down the days!
