Chapter 1

I woke up on the sand. It was soft like silk. I didn't know how I got there. My name is Rachel.

"BEEP BEEP BEEP!!"

Ugh, I thought as I woke up. It was just a dream...again. I keep having these dreams. Like they are so real. But sometimes i wonder... are we just in someones dream? Is it just in our heads? I always have them...and they are about mermaids and the ocean. I love them. I think it means something. I just can't explain how real they are.

I tell my mom about them but she just says they are dreams and its all in your head.

She doesn't like me talking about the dreams or mermaids. She says the ocean is dangerous. It seems like she's hiding something. But I was adopted. She told me I was left on her doorstep but I'm not sure if it was true. I don't have a dad because one day he just left. Mom doesn't like to talk about it. I wish I knew my real mom. Maybe she would understand me.

Anyway,

today was the last day of school. Then summer. I was so excited.

(7 hours later). School was over. Everyday after school I always ran to the ocean. My day wouldn't be complete without going there. The saltwater was in my veins. My friends called me the little mermaid. I loved collecting shells. I had lots. I ran to the diving board and jumped in. I was in the water. I felt free. I always felt like I belonged there. I swam down and found some shells. Then i saw something in the corner of my eye. like a long coloured fish tail. Was it a mermaid?! I swam to find it but I lost it. Underneath me I saw a sparkle. I went to get air from the surface then I swam down deep to see what it was. I grabbed it and swam back up. I climbed onto a rock and looked at what I found. It was a shell. The most perfect shell ever. It was like meant for me. Then I found out it opened up. Inside I found the most beautiful necklace ever. It had a sand dollar on it and little shells. I loved it. I put it on and swam back into the water.

I kept swimming and swimming an I loved the necklace. I swam to the surface and sat on a rock to look at it again. I wonder how it got here? Then I saw something in the corner of my eye.

It zoomed so fast and I dived in to find it. It was like a tail? I think it was that thing I saw earlier. Maybe a mermaid?! No. It couldn't be. Or could it?

It felt like forever I had been swimming. I looked at the time on my underwater watch. It was 5:30. I had to get back. My mother would be worried. But I couldn't get home. I was lost.

I didn't know where I was. I lost the thing and now I was lost trying to find it. I swam up, looking for land. I saw some. I swam to it and lay on the soft sand. I was so tired. I didn't know what to do.

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a long time!!!!

Chapter 2

I pasted out for a while. I had a headache, then there was a spash and I saw it spash In the water. I didn't know what it was. Then next to me was the shell. I opened it and there was a note in it. It was kind if hard to read but i think it said: mermaids are here. They are real. They are... The rest got washed off. I wondered what the rest said. I was so curious. I was so thirsty. I was lost. I need food. But I mostly craved water. Then I saw in the water a bottle. I grabbed it and their was a note that said drink. I was thirsty so i drank it. I was now quenched. I had all of it. My headache was gone. I went into the water and swam and swam. As I was swimming my legs started to get stiff. They started to be stuck together. I started to sink. My legs wouldn't move. I needed some air. I sank deeper and deeper. It got darker. I thought this was the end. My eyes closed. It was pitch black.

Haha cliff hanger!!!!!!!

Chapter 3

Rachael's POV:

Not on land. In water. With a tail. I got freaked out. I may have passes out for a bit because it went all black again. I was in a bed. In a room. I was underwater and I didn't know where I was. I thought I died. I thought I was dead. I pinched myself. It hurt. I wasn't dead. I looked down at my tail. It was aqua blue with some sparkles. It was beautiful. I didn't know what happened, but I thought it was really cool and weird. I tried to move and get up. It was no use. I heard someone . They were coming here. It was a mermaid and she had a red sparkly tail. She started speacking softly and gently and said "are you ok sweetie?" "I know this is different but we had to save you or you would die". "This will get used too". "Right now we are putting oxygen in you and a thing so you can breathe underwater". I said " why am I here and why am I a mermaid" "can I go home"? She laughed and said "you are here because some two mermaids brought you here because they saw you sinking and." "Nevermind". You are a mermaid because um never mind". Tell me. I said . "Fine. When te two mermaids found you. You started shifting into a mermaid." I just helped with the oxygen and the tail came back" and for now you will have to stay here".
