Chapter 1
Madelyns pov

At the speed of light I soar through the cool ocean, sending waves to shore. Let's see how fast I could really swim.

Tears were running down my eyes, how could she? Send me off to live somewhere else just because mum and dad died, and my she couldn't take care of me anymore. Not that I needed any. I could perfectly live on my own.

That's right, you heard. My sister is 24 and marring a complete jerk. My mum and dad died a couple of years ago from a taxi crashing into a large truck.

I've fallen apart since then. I can't even get my studies up to my expertise.

I swam to my hid-out far in an isolated island. When I entered I sat on the step admiring my long blue tail.

Your probably wondering how I am a mermaid? Well that I can tell you:

My name is Madelyn, I'm 18 years old from Queensland. We moved to a small town last year, that's when my sister started going out with the "jerk".

I got angry and scared, so I went on a little journey one night. I traveled in the streets, admiring the surroundings when I came across a bright blue crystal.

Of course no one saw me as I picked it up. I held on to it all the way home. That night I put it under my pillow and slept a restless sleep.

The next morning the crystal wasn't there, I thought maybe it was a dream.

I went for my average walk. Along the beach. I was tempted to go in the ocean. Usually I hated the ocean, but then something told me I needed to go in.
I ignored it and walked along the grass near the beach.

Suddenly the sprinklers turned on. That's when I fell to the ground after 10 seconds with blue bra, long blue tail with a hint of green on the end. I panicked of course. Luckily people weren't around to see, they were either too distracted on their phones or snogging.

That's how I got my tail. Anyway back to present.

Don't get me wrong, I love being a mermaid but the down side is that, you can't use any product that contains water, you can't swim in a pool, you can't spill water on your self, you can't even wash your hands!!
But don't worry, being a mermaid, my hands are always clean.

At least I can drink water.

My sister already spoke to the lady, Emma Moore about me moving into her house. Apparently she has an older son, Alec, and a baby girl called Poppy.

So I guess I am staying with the Moores, and I'm leaving soon. My sister is probably panicking right now that I'm not there.

Should I go?

Better than living on your own. I thought.

With that I dived back out the cave and swam quickly behind a rock to transform back. With a wave of my hand, the tail slowly disappeared.

With a raise of a hand I can move the water in mid air and make it do anything really.

I ran back through the hot sand and walked along the streets, until I reached my front door, completely dry from water.

'Oh my god where have you been?!' Lea exclaimed.
Josh (the jerk) was standing beside her looking inpatient.

'Out.' I replied then went to my room and started packing more stuff into my suitcase.

'They will be here soon!' Lea shouted.

I sighed and picked up my suitcase, and put my phone in my jeans pocket. I was wearing a purple crop top and a blue Dimond necklace, that was my mothers. Soon I will be living in someone else's house, in a bed and living with one baby and a teenager. I walked out of my room and slammed the door behind me. As I walked down the hall, I could see a lady at the door with my sister.
