Just add Water: A Tail of Frienemies

Just add Stories

Zane pov:
I can't believe mermaids exists, I can't believe my girlfriend is a mermaid, I can't believe that Lewis is a merman.
I have so many questions right now but it doesn't seem like the right time.
I read the first few chapters, and understood a few things like they have powers and the full moon  affects them.
This is just weird, amazing and epic.
Right now I'm heading to Mako Island with Rikki.
I'm so excited, No one knows about Mako Island, which means I'm one of the firsts.
This is Mako Island, I asked.
Pretty isn't it, Rikki said.
Yeah, I said staring at it in amazement.
Come on, We go through here and we will find the moon pool, Rikki said.
We were swimming to Mako Island.
We swimmed through a small entrance and there it was a cave which had an opening from the top.
Umm, why does it look like someone lives here, I asked.
Cause someone does, Cleo said.
Wait you live here, I asked her.
Yep, me and Lewis, Cleo said.
Why, I asked.
We both were kicked out, she said.
Why, I asked.
Because of my "phobia" and Lewis exploded his garage, She said.
Okay both those reasons are true, I said coming out of the water.
I saw Emma, Bella and Lewis were there too.
Now can you all please let me finish this, Cleo said
Yeah go on go on, Lewis said.
What is she doing Rikki asked.
She is Removing Lewis and her name from the book and changing it, Emma said
Cleo started to do weird hand movements.
Ooh can we do that, Bella said.
Maybe in 7 years, Cleo said.
Now please don't interrupt, Cleo added.
She started doing thise weird motions with her hands again and some of the words started disappearing.
Then Cleo took a bottle of ink and started levitating some of the ink and let go her powers and it formed a word Hayley.
Okay Lewis, what do you want your name to be, Cleo asked.
I thought we decided on Luke, Lewis said.
I was panicking back then, Cleo said.
Luke is fine, Lewis said.
Cleo repeated the same process with his name or atleast his fake name.
Why did you say in 7 years, I asked coming a bit late.
Cause I've been a mermaid since I was nine, That was the only reason I stayed here in the first place or I would've kept running, Cleo said.
Running from what, Rikki said.
It's a long story, and really complicated, Cleo said.
Well aren't we the definition of Complicated, Emma said.
Trust me you don't want to know, Cleo said.
But we do, Bella said.
Lewis help, Cleo said.
Well, you know it wouldn't hurt to tell them, Lewis said.
You already know the story, come on Lewis isn't that enough, Cleo said.
Yeah you told me when we were 9, and I have a feeling you have been missing out a few things, Lewis said.
Fine, I will tell you but whatever happens here stays here, Got it, She said.
Yeah okay okay tell us the freaking story, Rikki said.
Where should I start, She said.
How bout from the beginning;Lewis said.
I was born in the woods, at night on a full moon. It was a curse to us werewolves that if a child was born on a full moon the mother would die giving birth to the child and indirectly the child would activate their curse.
After my mother died, my father left me in an adoption agency cause he didn't want to take care of a girl who killed her mother.
I got adopted when I was 3 by the Marshall's, they named me Hayley Marshall and I went by that name for sometime.
I lived there for 2 years.
Those were the worst 2 years of my life, I was constantly abused they made me do everything even though I was young.
So one day I decided to run away.
I constantly kept changing my name until I knew I was far far away.
I was on the run for 4 years, My life surrounded by water. Those 4 years I never ever hurt an animal.
Honestly I have no idea how I survived.
To get distracted I used to observe all these sea creatures and right my observations in a book.
After 4 years of my life, I reached a cave this one, it was a full moon and like you all I also turned here.
This Island seemed peaceful, a good place to live, no one ever came there.
I left the moon pool and went to the beach to spend the night.
The Next morning I wake up really early and decided to leave. As soon as I touched the water a tail appeared on me.
I realised alot of things, like the water in the moon pool started boiling and when I touched water it also started boiling, so I assumed that the scales were from that place.
I decided to go back there and I started studying the caves ever since that day.
Soon the Sertoris adopted me, I changed my name to Cleo and blah blah blah you know the rest, Cleo said.
Wow, that was a long story, Bella said.
But why come here, like you could've stayed anywhere, I asked.
No, I couldn't like I said the only reason I ever stayed here was so that I could study the caves and learn the secrets, if I had never turned I would've been somewhere else by now, Cleo said.
But why did you run, Rikkii asked.
Cause the Marshall's were chasing me, eventually they all gave up but at that time it was really hard, Cleo said.
How long have you known about you being a werewolf, Emma asked.
Ever since I was young, but everything starts at a certain age, the way I found out it was when I realized my birth mark, it was a Cresent after some research I found out about My pack and other stuff, but people think these are myths so, Cleo said.
What birth mark, Lewis asked.
Cleo removed her jacket and we could see her upper back and on that was a mark.
Wow, Bella said.
At first I used to use this mark as a family tracker, Like I used to ask people if they ever saw it. I was in search about who my family is but when I became a mermaid, nothing was safe except this place, Cleo said.
Your whole family has this mark, I asked.
Yeah, it's a symbol that represents us, it represents from which pack we are, Cleo said.
So just Because you were born on a full moon and that you indirectly killed your mother your whole family left you, that's not fair at all, Emma said.
Hey, when you said you had a bad past with water were you talking about this, Bella asked.
What else can I talk about, everyday when I step into water I remember all this, and when I think of why it was happening I then remember about the Marshall's from where I remember about how my real family abandoned me, Cleo said.
I don't understand it wasn't your fault that you were born on a full moon, so why did they believe it was you, Rikki said.
It is said in my pack that the wolf chooses its birthday and when they want to be born, even though it's a legend, Cleo said.
In what world will that be true, Lewis said.
In the wolves world, Cleo said.
Are there any more, I asked.
Yep, There are alot but none from my pack, I'm still searching for them, Most of them live in New Orleans I even have a vampire helping me but still nothing, Cleo said
Vampires, they exist, I said.
Name any supernatural being and you will get an answer, Cleo said.
Wait, Witches, I asked.
Yep, I'm one myself, Cleo said.
You are a witch, all of us shouted
Yeah, I'm a tribrid, Cleo said.
