As we got North the water got colder. I have goose bumps layering my skin. Neither of us has slept for 2 days and we are exhausted. It is taking both of us to not faint onto the ocean floor. We hear a blood curdling scream from below us. It takes us both a while to process it because we are both so tired but once we do we immediately swim down. There is lots of coral and rocks and we feel around for anything that could lead us inside. Aislon is the one who finds the door. It's circular. he grabs the handle and pulls but he isn't strong enough. It would take a werewolf to open it. But then for the werewolf to get down here it would have to be a mermaid or merman. So they are most likely a Rarity.
I grab the handle and pull. Together we get it open. Water flows inside. We exchange glances then swim inside.
We hit a floor. I stick out my hand and it touches air not water. Aislon notices and pulls out the balls. I take mine and squeeze it. I have legs and I pull myself out of the water. I lay on the floor for a minute, exhausted. "Well this is new" Aislon gasps. I nod my head. Suddenly there is another scream. We look at each other and fallow it. It leads us behind lots of pipes but we have a clear view of the action. A vampire evidentially is carrying something. I don't realize what until I see the blue and gold tail. Cut open. "Vera" I whisper. Aislon looks at me and takes my hand. He squeezes it the point to a strange tank. Laying into the tank is a human form of........ Randy.
Dead.
We were too late to save here. "See I think he is part of the council and wants you two..." he drags his pointer finger across his neck. I gulp. "Someone needs to help her" I say. "Mia, how?" He is scared evidentially. I shake my head. "I don't know" I say a single tear streaming down my face. He hugs me. I hug him back. We both just lost a friend. I frown and pull back then step out from behind the pipes and pick up a spare rod of metal just laying there. He hasn't noticed me. "Mia" Aislon whisper-yells. "I have to" I whisper back to him. I walk up to him and hit him against the head. He falls to the ground dropping Vera. She screams in pain. "Aislon she needs salt-water!" I yell to him and he scrambles looking for some. "The tank!" I yell pointing to the tank. "But I'll change if I touch it!" He yells back at me.
"Then don't touch it!"
He sighs "Ok". "Ok Vera this may hurt". She is crying. "We don't have much time so I am soooo sorry". Aislon comes up to me with a cup of water. I take it and pore it on the gap in her tail. It sizzles and a scab forms. I give back the cup and Aislon gets more.
The vampire stirs. I grab the rod and hit him again. Knocked out. "Almost done" I whisper to Vera. I flip her over and she winces. "Sorry" I say to her. I pour the water onto her back and that sizzles and scabs. "There that should do it" I say and sit back and run my fingers through my hair. "Hey, do you remember what to say to become human?" I ask her and pull her head into my lap as I play with her now short, jagged hair. She nods but then winces. She starts to cry. "Hey, hey. You'll be alright" I say to her and I play with her hair. She nods and mumbles something. Her tail glows. I look at the white light and feel where her tail would be. Skin. Skin is there. I sigh with relief. "Aislon come help me" I say and Aislon picks her up. She freaks out. "Hey, hey, hey" I whisper into her hair. She looks at me. "It's ok he's a friend" she nods and calms down. Suddenly something grabs my elbows. "Run!" I scream. Aislon looks a me with a sorry type face and turns and runs. "Please come back though" I whisper to myself.
"Hey" I hear a raspy, voice say into my ear. I move my eyes to see his left wrist. No symbol. "What are you?" I ask him ripping away.
"The Council"
