March 27.
My 19th birthday and I'm spending it walking. I'm woken up early by Waverly, Aislon is already up. They are the only two who know its my birthday and I'm keeping it that way. "Wanna go for a swim?" she whispers into my ear. I nod. My throat is dry from being on land for so long and my skin is dry as well. All three of us run towards the ocean and dive in. I'm smiling. I haven't smiled in days. I feel bubbles on my face and my legs turning into a tail. I turn upside down. Aislon comes up beside me. He wasn't as dry as me but still quite dry. Same as Waverly. I breath in some water and I instantly feel better. We come above the water. The sun is rising and we need to go back.
"Sorry guys but we need to head back" Waverly says just as disappointed about it as me. "I say we swim the rest of the way. Leave the non-water changelings here" I say. Waverly nods. "It may be best". We swim back to shore. Aislon gives me my ball and pulls out his own. I have some trust issues with Waverley, like come on; who wouldn't. That's why Aislon always carries my ball. We press them then walk out of the water. I sigh.
"That was so much fun I wish it could last forever".
They both look at me. "What?" I ask innocently. We all laugh.
When we get back to the camp everyone is gone. Vanished. "What happened?" Aislon asks. Me and Waverly look at him like he is the stupidest person ever. "Well they obviously are not here!" Waverly yells. He rolls his eyes. "Yes but why?" He says with lots of random hand gestures. He accidentally slaps me. I put my hand over it and rub it. "Ow" I whine. "Sorry" he says but it has no meaning. I frown. I take in a big breath and put my hands in my pockets. "Well I guess we can swim now". I'm looking on the bright side. Waverley shrugs, "it make me want to know what happened". She said guilty for some reason. "Yea well we don't have time and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if we found hey are dead" I say turning on my heel, grabbing their elbows and pulling them to the water. "We could always just, you know, use teleportation" Waverly suggests. I mentally slap myself. "But can we at least swim for a day. Her guards will probably catch us anyways" I say begging her. She smiles at me. I'm acting like a child, her look said. "Alright we can swim for a little ways" she says. We all run into the water and my red tail is there. We all exchange glances then flick our tails and bubbles surround us.
Off to kill the Queen on my birthday.
