Aislon protests saying it's not fair, which It isn't but Waverly pulls him away. I really don't want him to go but I have trained for this. I grip the trident Waverly gave me and walk over to the Council members laying dead on the floor. Vera comes up beside me. We exchange glances. "Is he your boyfriend?"
"Wait, what?"
"You boyfriend? Is Aislon your boyfriend"
I laugh. "No, he's a prince, I'm just a guard" I say. "But he was so insistent on staying" she argues. I sigh. "Because we're friends" I say, contradicting Vera's words.
She nods, unbelievingly. Suddenly we hear noises. "What do we do!?" I ask. She shakes her head. "Kill them" I suggest.
Vera sighs. "I would rather not kill anyone" she says.
"Well then what are we supposed to do!?" I'm scared.
These are the people that almost took away my change and I really like being a mermaid.
"Oi! What are you two doing in here?"
A woman behind us says. I stand up and turn, so does Vera.
The person gasps. "We're here to stop you!" Vera yells.
I nod quickly. The woman laughs. "You couldn't over through a fly!"
I don't understand. A fly. What is a fly? But Vera seems to be insulted. "Question what is a fly?" They both look at me unbelievingly. "Vera, the tanks! Get the people out!"
I hiss into her ear. She jumps at it and sprints away. The woman goes to follow her. "Hey! You never answered! What's a fly?!" I yell at the woman. She stops following Vera and advances over to me. I move my fingers on the trident. "You don't know what a fly is and you're supposed to overthrow us." She says with a laugh. "Well, I know it's some sort of bug thing but I want to know more."
I say, distracting her from Vera, who's helping some people out of tanks and cells.
"Too bad you won't be around to learn." The woman says and lunges at me. I jump out of the way, just in time too. She stumbles over Randy's body and bangs her head on the tank, not dead just knocked-out.
"We don't have much time, everybody, RUN!" I scream when I see Vera and the people she helped turn the corner. We all run. We turn corner after corner until we find a land entrance, Vera and I leading. We climb out and all lift the door open. Warm sun engulfs my face. We all scramble out and run along a beach.
We run for about 10 minutes until we find a small town. "Everyone, we will camp here tonight." Vera says and we all turn into the town. "Let's find a motel.", a girl suggests. I shake my head. "We need a campsite" I say and head over to a house. I knock. A younger girl, probably ten opens the door. "Do you need anything?" She asks. "Yes do you know where a camp site is?" I ask her. She smiles and nods. She leads us away from the town into a small meadow where there are campfire preparations set up. "I have a tent if you need one." she offers. "Oh yes please!" One of our group says. She smiles and skips away.
"Ok we will camp here for the night" I say and sit down.
No one hears the rustle in the trees.
