Water Drop

„Chloe, Chloe wake up!" I heard this strong voice again... I sighed... Why did she showed up, I did the safe spell... Unwillingly I opened my eyes and saw Nia...

„Oh hi...!" I said Zayden told me to be more careful if the dream appears again... I guess I will have to talk with him today...

„Have you considered my offer?" She said with a warm smile, I looked away and I scratched my head.

„Sorry Nia... I will stay with my legs, I like them more than idea of having tail." I said the atmosphere and she suddenly became more cold... I stood up and saw that Zayden was not there anymore.

„Im going to give you one more chance. One more chance to think about this, better do think twice you are lucky to get the offer." She said and I looked away confused, I already said im not interested in...

„Don't get the wrong idea, but im curious. If I would accept it, what would you take from me?" I asked quietly maybe If I will get to know what she wants for me Zayden will be able to more understand the situation im in...

„Oh. So, you already know how the contract with mermaid works huh? I guess he already told you..." She said a little annoyed and I looked down... I didn't really know but I didn't want to stop her from talking. „If you would say yes, I would like to take your legs~ It's I think fair offer, think about it one more time. See you next time." After she said "goodbye" my eyelids felt again really heavy, and I just came back to sleep.

Like last time, it wasn't for a long time...

I woke up at exactly 5:30... I looked at my phone and sighed, I was thinking to write to Zayden, but he wasn't online... He's probably asleep... I wanted to get out of the chat but by accident I called him on a face time, when I was about to click the disconnect button he answered.

„Why the hell are you calling me so early in the morning... have you lost your mind...?" Zayden asked but he wasn't really contacting, he looked half dead I tried not to laugh but I made screenshot, sorry but I couldn't resist...

„I saw her again." After I said that Zayden looked perfectly awake in the camera, he looked like a mess.

„Well, that means she didn't tell you her real name... I guess that was Zara, Zara is pretty popular around wizard mermaids, and she usually contacts with someone who in past time had contact with any mermaid." Zayden responded.

„I know why she asked me to make contract with me... She wanted my legs, she assumed that I know how "mermaid contract" work so I guess that's why she told me about it... she also said that she's going to come back one time again to ask the question." When I said that Zayden looked at me like im kidding him.

„You asked her? Are you dumb...? Ehh, nevermind yeah it was Zara. Im going to explain you everything on the way to school, be ready in 20 minutes under my house..." He hanged up without any of my answer... I guess it's now accomplished that I must go with him. Since that strange dream I must spend more time with him than I want. I went to the bathroom and did really fast my morning routine. Quickly I wore my school uniform did my makeup and brushed my hair, suddenly I heard phone call.

It was Zayden, I sighed and saw him waiting under his house I picked it up.

„Faster, im not gonna wait longer." He complained and I just said "okay" I ran downstairs with my backpack and took one sandwich that my mom made.

„Sorry mom I gotta hurry, my friend is waiting for me!" I screamed closing the door and running to Zayden.

„How long do I have to wait for you?" He said really mad and sighed, I noticed that he has umbrella with him.
