Vera explains some very confusing things which just make things even more confusing then they already were. "Fire underwater?" Wren asks. She looks at him with wide eyes and nods. "Hold up, no eyes!" I ask just as wide eyed as Vera. "Didn't you guys get the most important part? We don't need to do anything" Vera says afraid but happy. "But that doesn't make sense, Vera. The Council" I say. She looks at me. She had forgotten The Council. "Your right" she says. I nod and bite my lips while knotting my eyebrows together. This doesn't make sense. "Oh my brain is taking on more then it can handle" I whine and grab my temple.
Aislon and I are in a corridor when there is a flash of light that disappeared in the blink of an eye. "What was that?" I ask. "What was what?" He asks. I swim closer to where it was and when I turn I see bright blue. I scream. Next everything is black.
5 hours later
I wake up in a dark room. My head is pounding. The blue eyes flash before my eyes. It terrifies me. I get onto my knees and crawl until I hit a wall. Not a wall, metal bars. "Well this is different" I mumble to myself. I grab at the bars. "Mia?" I hear someone mumble behind me. I turn my head. I see the only familiar thing in this cage. I crawl quickly over to him and feel his blue hair. "Mia, what happened?" Aislon croaks. I crouch over him. "Hey" I whisper. He smiles at me and tries to sit up but winces and lays back down. "What wrong?" I ask him. He grabs his stomach. A massive bruise is forming. I but my lip. It can't be that bad. He was probably just hit there. "Aislon, tell me what happened" I say to him and place my hand on the side of his head and rub his cheek with my thumb. "You went to go look at something" he starts. "Then I heard a scream and came running. You were knocked out on the floor. There was a mermaid with really creepy eyes. She hit me in the stomach with her tail which winded me. Then she hit me on the head with her tail" he tells me. "Mia?" He says frowning. "Where is your tail?" He asks.
I gasp. I hadn't even noticed we were human. "I hadn't noticed!" I yell. I scramble towards the bars and start to scream. It was wordless screaming but still screaming. Aislon has gotten to the bars and is pulling me back. My hair is in my face. He is holding my shoulders. "Mia it's no use! We are trapped" he tells me. All the courage I had left, collapses. I burst into tears. He hugs me. My face is nuzzled into his neck and he plays with my hair. He pulls back. At first it hurts me at first but he fixed that very soon after.He kisses me and I kiss him back. I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his around my waist. I sit on him. We stay like that for a while. It calms me down quite a bit.
It isn't until someone opens the door do we we stop. "Oh two are being released. If you tell anyone about this. You are dead" the girl with fiery hair says, pointing at each of us. We both nod our understanding. She opens the cage and we run out. "Why did they have to make us human" I whine. "Probably because of this" Aislon says gesturing the the large city. Cars are driving fast and I feel very exposed. "We need to find salt water" Aislon says. I nod. Having no experience with people like this, I walk up to a man. "Umm would you tell me if there is an ocean near by?" He looks at me funny, grabs the hand of a small boy and walks away. 'Funny' I thought. 'Children don't usually live with their parents'. I shrug. "Mia" Aislon says, grabbing my elbow and pulling me away."This isn't Novaltyr, this is The Other Side"
