Controller of the Elements

Chapter 6 - Serena

So I'm a mermaid, and now I just have to deal? I don't think so.

I love swimming, and I'm almost always in the water. Seriously, even when my twin sister Tammi and I were little, my dad said, "You know, I think we have one human daughter and one daughter who's a fish." It of course sounds dumb now, but it's true, I was practically a fish.

Now I technically am. But that's bad, because my friends and I decided that we would never, ever let anyone else investigate this.

My phone buzzes. I've been put in a group chat with Tammi, Kelsie, Gwen, Bridgette and Madeline. I know that we're all on at the same time, because the friends besides Tammi are texting like madwomen, and because Tammi's right here, on her phone. Yes, we could just be talking to each other like regular people in the same room, but, hey, we're a new generation.

I was wondering if Tammi was just "crushin' candy" again, or playing another one of her beloved mobile games, but then she contributes to the group text.

Tammi: So we run 2day?

Run where? What was I not notified of? So I ask.

Me: Run where?

Kelsie: We'll Serena will swim 😂

So she's heard? Of course she has.

Bridgette: We'll?

Kelsie: Screw autocorrect. 😡

Gwen: Lol

Madeline: Yes lol. 😸😸

Madeline: But really.

Madeline: I found an address for the Controller of Elements online.

Bridgette: That guy?

Kelsie: He controls the supernatural. And I've been howling at the moon like crazy.

Gwen: Don't go there he's just a creepy man who wants to murder you.........

Madeline: No we need to.

Tammi: I'm not dying.

Me: No bae don't die.....

I say "bae" too much.

Madeline: Then I guess I'll go alone.

Kelsie: Then go we don't care

Madeline: No

And suddenly, I can hear my dad walking in our room.

Me: My dad's here stop fighting and start farting rainbows.

Tammi: Ok sis whatever u say *becomes a my little pony unicorn and farts rainbows*

I look up at her. "Don't take it that literally," I say, laughing, as I realize that our dad was just passing by to let us know it was time for dinner. Good. I'm starving.

I leave with Tammi to go to the table, yet I text my friends one more time.

Me: Dinner time baes, see ya.

Yes, I do say "bae" too much. But I've got a lot of baes, supernatural, baes, that is.

And one just texted me now.

Madeline: Bye and FYI I got that address from a random creepy email.

But she said that in group chat. And now I'm getting texts in the group chat, and everyone's going, even Tammi. Guess that means I need to aswell...
