(Mia's POV over The Awakening and Electric Soul plus more)
As our swim comes to an end, a man approaches us. None of us recognize him in the dark waters of the Pacific Ocean but as we get closer to him we know him as the man who cried over Vera's grave. "Hello" I say with a tinge of authority. I have decided I need to pick up on my training and so this is as good as I can get. He looks at me funny and I shrug "Just trying it out". "Can I join you?" He asks. "We don't even know your name!" Aislon says. "Wren, my name is Wren" he confirms. We all nod. "And your a merman" Waverly says. He nods. We look at his wrist, nothing. But he could have escaped the council. "Well we were just about to teleport. I guess you can tag along".
Waverly grabs our hands and we all teleport to the front of the castle.
"Ok Mia are you ready?" Waverly asks me. I swallow then nod. I'm scared. People say the Queen took down the strongest of the Shark Kings all on her own. Aislon puts a comforting hand on my shoulder. I smile up at him. We hold there for a second then swim into the castle.
What we saw is not what we expected to see at all. Standing in the middle of the great big room was none other than Vera.
Wren swims to her and they kiss. "Your a merman!" She yells. "Your ALIVE!" He yells back at her.
"Why are you here?!?" I ask her. She explains it all with the..... Queen, who is apparently my aunt who is apparently also Aislons great-aunt making him and I like 3rd cousins. That's really weird.
After long talks everyone goes there separate ways. Waverly is with the Queen catching up, Aislon and Wren are with some male guards and Vera and I are in our suite. "So how are we going to over through her?" I ask. I was honestly looking for a very simple answer but hey that's too mainstream, Vera went on a big rant. To tell the truth I didn't understand most of it. "I see your point" I say to please her. "I could you know just poison her drink" she adds on. We both laugh. "So future Queen" I say nudging her arm. She smiles and looks down at her hands were she is playing with a shell. "I feel I'm going to mess up" she confesses. "I feel that all the time" I say. "One time there was an itty bitty war between the Sharks and Mers. They didn't have much guards because lots were injured from a bigger war. They had to send trainees out. I was one of those. I knew it was life or death and I could mess up at any moment. But it's what was right" I tell her. She nods. "But that different". I shake my head. "No, Vera, it's not. One wrong move could make things go terribly wrong" I say to her. She nods her understanding. I smile but it doesn't reach my eyes. "And you know that thing were you said why can't we all just stay here?" I ask her with a small laugh. "Yea" she responds. "We can't do that. We all have lives to lead on our own" I say to her grabbing her hands. "Yea I guess your right". I mock gratitude. "Aren't I always" I say my hand over my chest and my nose in the air. She laughs but it's half-heartedly. "Well I don't know about you but I want to go exploring" I say slapping my hands against my tail.
We swim through corridors. When we turn one I see a person I haven't seen in what feels like forever. "Carly?" I ask her in surprise. "Mia!" She says swimming up to me. We hug. We are long-term enemies because we were almost equal in strength and both the best in our class. "Everyone thought you and Prince Aislon were dead, they are looking for a new ruler" she tells us. "Well better tell the clan to stop then" I say with a small laugh. "Mia where have you been?" She asks serious now. "Oh you know the usual, over throwing councils. Nothing special" I say with a flick of my right wrist. She laughs. "Sounds good" she says then swims away.
"Who was that?" Vera asks obnoxiously. "An enemy" I say with a small smile.
We run into Aislon and Wren on our way to the gardens. "Hey you wouldn't believe who I just saw!" Is the first thing I say to Aislon when I see him. "Who?" He asks. "Carly. Should have guessed she would be stationed here. Only the best in the class is" I say with a wink. Aislon understands why I winked but Vera and Wren were left in the dark and that how we left them. "So what's Carly up too?" He asks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know it's short and boring but we need a break from action and now just calming stuff may be a good plan. Anywho!!!!! What do you think? Will Carly be good or bad!?
