"I don't think we're getting anywhere." Sabrina stated.

I looked around the area.

"We may have gotten a bit closer." I suggested.

"Yeah right." complained Mako. "This quest is hopeless!"

"We may need to check the map again." Sabrina suggested.

"Okay." Mako said drawing the map. "Here Sarah. Maybe you should just be in charge of the map for now on."

"That sound like a good idea. Let's see. My heart is bright and holy, light the way for my journey." I chanted then blew on the map.

The map glowed once again.

"Hey guys. I didn't notice this before, but there is a red star that represents us." I realized.

"Hey, you're right!" Mako exclaimed. "Looks like we are a bit far off to the left. We have to head off to the right a bit more."

Then let's head to the right!" Sabrina exclaimed.

"Fine. We have to go." I said.

We started to go towards the right.



"How much closer are we now?" complained Sabrina.

Rustle, crunch.

"What was that?" I said turning around.

Sabrina and Mako turned around.

"Come out! We know you're there!" shouted Mako.

A figure came out from behind a large rock.

"Amya!" I gasped. " What are you doing here?!"

"Took you long enough to notice me." Amya scoffed.

"Why are you here?!" questioned Sabrina.

"I wanted to go on the trip too." Amya whined.

"Didn't you think your parents would notice you gone?" I suggested.

"Notice, my parents encouraged it! They thought the king was losing it and didn't realize talent when he saw it." Amya scoffed.

"She lost it." I muttered.

"I heard that." complained Amya. "Anyway now that I am here I can't go back. I could get lost."

"Huddle time." I said.

Mako, Sabrina, and I huddled.

"What do you think?" I asked.

"I don't think she even knows what really is going on." Sabrina whispered.

"If she comes we will have to tell the truth." Mako whispered back.

"We could just let her wonder the place until she finds her way back." I reasoned.

"I vote that." Sabina voted.

"Me too." Mako replied.

"Looks like Amya is going to be wandering the area." I said.

We broke from the huddle.

"Amya we have voted. Sorry Amya, but you aren't coming with us. You are just going to have to find your way back for yourself." I told her.

"What will keep me from following you?" reasoned Amya.

"True." Mako said.

"The amulets!" I remembered. "They keep anyone from tracking us! Hurry! Put them on!"

We all reached into our bags and pulled on the amulets.

"Now you can't follow us." Sabrina taunted.

"You better turn back. If you try to follow us you will get even more lost." I reasoned.

Amya glared.

"Would you even want to travel with us?" I reasoned.

"Hurry and run! That will make it harder for her to follow." Mako hissed to us.

We started to swim back then we turned around and swam as fast as we could.

"Jerks!" Amya cried.

"Have fun being lost!" I yelled back.



"Time to check the map!" announced Sabrina.

"Okay." I said grabbing it. "My heart is bright and holy, light the way for my journey." I then blowed on the map.

"The map makes it look like the rock anchor should be just a few feet closer." I said.

"Then let's hurry up!" Mako cried.

We hurried to reach the rock.

"That's definitely it." Sabrina stated.

We all started up at the The gigantic rock shaped anchor.

"Now where to?" Sabrina asked.

"The question is what is going to happen to you." said a voice.

"Who said that?" shouted Mako.

Poof!

Mako collapsed.

"What the?" I said.

"Poof!

Sabrina collapsed.

"What's happening?" I cried.

Poof!

I then collapsed. Before I l blacked out I looked up I and saw a tail.

"Rotten mermaid." I muttered then black out.
