Just add Water: A Tail of Frienemies

Just add Precautions

Rikki pov:
We are on Mako Island and Cleo is about to train us.
There are a lot of things you need to know and need to take care of, Cleo said.
Like what, Bella asked.
Water, The full moon, your powers, trusting people and much more, Cleo said.
We already know our powers, Emma said.
You do know your powers, but you have no control over them,Cleo said.
What are you talking about, I said in anger.
This, Cleo said pointing to the moon pool.
I was boiling the water and steam was coming from it.
Luckily Emma tried to use her freezing powers but she freezed the entire moon pool.
May I, Cleo said before using her powers.
This is what happens when you have no control over it, Lewis said.
Not you too, Bella said.
You have been mermaids for what 1-2 days and you have already started causing problems, Lewis said.
What's that supposed to mean, Emma said.
Yesterday at the marine park, Cleo said referring to me and Emma heating and freezing the water and almost killing the dolphins.
Yesterday at the coffee place, Lewis said referring to Bella who was turning the drinks into jelly.
Okay we may have had some incidents but we are still new to this, I said.
Thats what Im saying you need to learn how to control your powers, Cleo said.
Have you had any power incidents, Bella said.
I had some at the start, remember the when everyones drinks were turning into jelly, Lewis said.
That was you, Emma said.
Hey it was an accident, Lewis said.
What about you, I asked Cleo.
I haven't had an accident but I may have done stuff on purpose like in Winter I used to cool down everybody's  drinks and in summer I would heat them, Cleo said.
What, you almost got us out of business, Emma said.
You also almost got me fired, Cleo said.
Uhh, whatever what was the thing you said about trusting people, I asked.
You know you can't trust anyone with this secret one may keep it but one may also disclose it, Cleo said.
So we can trust no one, Emma said.
No one, Cleo said.
Like literally no one, I asked.
No one, Cleo said.
But I tell mg parents everything, Emma said.
No one, Cleo said.
But we trust you, Bella said.
Cause we are freakin mermaids, Cleo shouted, her eyes were starting to become orangish Yellow like gold but it was creepy.
Whats happening to her, I said.
Nothing, Lewis said.
Cleo quickly blinked a few times and her eyes came back to normal.
Sorry about that, She said.
Wait you said something about being a werewolf the day we turned, I said.
Yes, it's cause I am, She said.
But Don't werewolves turn on th full moon, Bella asked.
I come from a special pack the Cresent one, the wolves of the Cresent pack can turn by Will as long as they have a moon ring, Cleo said.
Then where is yours, Emma asked.
Here, Cleo said pointing to her finger.
Oh shoot, I wore the wrong one, Cleo said.
Again, Lewis said.
What, I said.
I have 2 rings one is to control, myself from being a werewolf and the other is for being a mermaid, Cleo said going to her bag and taking out a small bag.
So you have 2 rings, but why do you need 2 when you can be a mermaid anytime you want, Bella said.
It prevents me from getting moonstruck, talking about moonstruck and rings your rings are being made as we speak, Cleo said.
Wait they are being made you just said that you can trust no one, I said.
The people making it are from New Orleans the land of supernatural, there are many creatures who live there and they won't expose us, She said.
So we are getting rings, wow, I said.
Yeah, but you all only need one, Cleo said wearing her other ring.
You probably should wear both of them, Lewis said.
I should right, Cleo said.
Her rings were.
Werewolf

Mermaid

Umm, This may come late but what is getting moonstruck mean, Bella asked.
It's when the moon compels you and you get attracted to it and start acting weird and the only thing you care about is going to the moon pool or getting in water or it may effect you in a siren way, this may happen when you touch water or look at the full moon, Cleo said.
So we can't look at the full moon, I said
That's what I said, Cleo said.
Is there anything else we need to worry about, Emma said
There are loads of things, Lewis said
But it is mentioned in the book, so after you read it you will get it, Cleo said
Great, but just one more thing, Bella said.
What, Cleo said.
Can we please take the book with us, it would be easier for us to read it some place comfortable, and we promise to keep it at one place so no one finds it, Bella said.
What is you lose it or someone sees it or steals it, Cleo said.
We will take extra precautions, Bella said.
Fine but if you lose it there is a good chance that I may bite you, Cleo said.
So we can take the book, Emma said.
Yes,Lewis said.
Thanks, I said as we ran out and got the book.
