Mermaids And Vampires

The Vitamin Drink

Libby's POV

I was in Bridget's cave, waiting for her. My leg was better, but I was hungry.
"It's sort of rude to look in someone's fridge," I said aloud. But she probably won't mind. So, I opened it up. There was chicken, water, apples, lemonade, carrots, peas, pork, and some red liquid that was probably fruit punch inside. I reached for the fruit punch. But I saw a note that said Bridget's vitamins, Do Not Drink, Libby. A vitamin drink? Hmm... maybe that's why Bridget was hungry? I then took out some lemonade and a chicken breast. Good thing it was precooked, because I don't have that power. Then I smiled and poured the lemonade in a cup. Sticking a spoon in the middle, I froze the liquid and licked my homemade Popsicle.
"Libby!" I turned around and saw Bridget.
"What is it? Are you hurt?" I asked.
"No, but Libby, you can't go back to your father."
"What?!" I said. "But you said...." I trailed off.
"He's a mermaid catcher, Libby. I heard him when I was getting out of the net."
"I-I can stay with you, though, right?" I asked and sniffled.
"Yes you can," she said. Did you drink the vitamin drink?" Bridget said, looking nervous.
"No, don't worry, why?"
"Oh, it just has some things in it you shouldn't have."
"Ok," I said. "Can you cook some-"
"I'm making pork chop and chicken for dinner, yes." She finished my sentence, getting out the food and starting to cook it.
"Do have like, a mind reading power?" I said.
"No, I can just guess most of the time," Bridget said.

*10 Minutes Later*

"Dinner is ready!" She exclaimed. I got a juice box and Bridget grabbed her vitamin drink.
"Mmmm," we both said, me eating and her drinking.
"I didn't drink this week," she said.
"You only drink it once a week?" I asked, surprised.
"Once or twice every few weeks," she explained, "I don't need it that often."
"Oh," I said, gobbling my dinner. By the time we were done, we were stuffed.
"Ok why don't we rest now," Bridget said, cleaning up.
"Ok."
I still wonder why she needs that drink and why I can't have it. We're both supernaturals, it's not like she's half something else...right? I started to worry, but sleep took control before I could do anything.
