"You and I walk a fragile line. I have known it all this time. But I never thought I'd live to see it break." ~Excerpt from Haunted, Taylor Swift

i know that the cover reveals a lot of what might happen. i made the cover thinking i could create a story of Zac/Lyla, but i wanted to include other characters and add more drama and suspense, so this is what it came to. Be sure to expect some rough romance between Mimmi/Chris, Ondina/Erik, David/Sirena, Cam/Nixie, and, of course, Poseidon and some random she-cat. and of course the Lyla/Zac/Evie situation. But seriously, no one focuses on our little kitty, so i think I'll make Poseidon have a love interest! i will try to at least focus on at least one chapter for each pairing. If it doesn't come now, it will eventually come later.

anyway, my job is to show you how it will happen. my take on how season 2 should be. But what if Lucy Fry (Lyla) and Ivy Latimer (Nixie) didn't leave? would things have turned out differently? (Though Lucy Fry was awesome as Lissa Dragomir in Vampire Academy, i wish that she could've still done Mako Mermaids, though I can see how it was impossible. i think that the producers of Mako Mermaids didn't want just one mermaid to travel away, so... yeah. but if you haven't checked VA out, it's on YT. just type in: Vampire Academy Full Movie Free) enjoy. or not, i can't really tell you what to do.

Zac still had his tail.

It didn't seem possible, that through everything, he still had his tail. Sure, he loved it. Sure, it was sleek and smooth, cutting through the waters with unique precision. And sure, he loved swimming and loved being able to hold his breath underwater for a long time. But still, if things had gone as planned, his tail would be gone. And Lyla's pod would be back...

The thought of Lyla brought a smile to his face. She was such a good friend. And thinking about her made Zac think of Evie. His smile widened. His girlfriend was perfectly fine with him being a fish. The two most important people in his life had his back: Lyla and Evie. His parents... well, that would be another day. He wanted to tell them that he was a fish, but... it never seemed to be the right time.

But somehow, in the back of Zac's mind, he knew that he would never want to leave his ocean life.

He loved having his tail, and he loved that he had Lyla, Rita, Sirena, and Nixie to help him. Okay, he had second thoughts about Nixie, but... she had best interests at heart in trusting Cam, right? Besides, everyone made mistakes. No one was perfect—though Zac liked to think that he was so close that it was crazy. His life before had been seemingly perfect. His tail complemented his life even more. There was nothing—nothing—like swimming through the churning waters. It was an incredible feeling.

And it was even better when Lyla told him that he wasn't separate from the ocean but apart of it.

"Hey, stranger."

Speak of the devil. Zac turned to smile at the mermaid. "Hey."

She took a seat by him on the dock. "How're you?"
