Sorry for taking soo long, I've been swamped with test and I've been writing a young-adult novel with the help of my fellow students, who surprisingly are really good writers and also write fanfiction...weird.

Chapter 13

"Dick, Dick, Dick!" Zatanna cried. Zatanna desperately looked around for any signs of help. As she looked down at her necklace, she saw that it glowed a deep bright purple. Zatanna touched the necklace with her finger gently. A bright light engulfed the two as Zatanna shielded her eyes. As Zatanna opened her eyes she saw a beautiful mermaid floating in front of her. "W-Who are you?" She asked.

"I am La Bella..." Said the voice. "Oh, sweet Princess Zatanna..Klarion King of the Freshwater lakes took away my love, oh so long ago. I realized...life without love is not a life worth living...so I give you and your love...although he is human, I give you both the gift of life." La Bella explained.

"Wait. Doesn't it come with a price?" Zatanna asked. "I will surely pay it, La Bella." She added.

"Zatanna, you are correct. The price is high, for the gift of life. I know you are willing to pay it, Zatanna. I am sorry that I have to do this..I know you'll find a way..." She said, she vanished into a blinding white light.

Zatanna thought about what La Bella had said.

"Z-Zatanna?" Dick asked his voice dry.

"Oh, Dick!" She exclaimed.

"Z-Zatanna, how? What?" Dick asked as he started to sit up.

"It doesn't matter, Dick. As we're together again!" Zatanna said.

"Oh, Zee, you didn't..." Dick said worried.

"Did what?" She asked.

"Y-You- Your legs!" Dick exclaimed looking at Zatanna's legs. Zatanna gasped in horror as her legs slowly turned into a tail. Zatanna's clothes slowly vanished until she was wearing the same thing she was when she first met Dick. Zatanna slowly panted.

"W-Water!" She cried. That was strange even as a mermaid she never needed water. Dick was suddenly filled with adrenaline giving him strength to save his love. He carefully picked her up and walked her toward the lake. It wasn't salt water but it was water. "Oh, Dick...I...We..." She sobbed.

"Zatanna, we'll get through this. I don't know why you changed though, do you?" Dick asked. Zatanna thought back to La Bella. NO! It was the price...it was the price she must pay for her lover's life. "I had to pay the price...for you..." She mumbled.

"Zee, we're going to get through this...try using your powers." Dick urged. Zatanna nodded.

"Change me back into a human" She chanted. Nothing happened. "Change me back into a human" She chanted again. It didn't work. "It's no use..." Zatanna cried.


An scene! I'm planning on making a sequal, review if you think I should. I'm saving 'I love you's' for the sequal. I've been busy and I'm sorry if this is oh so sucky.
