My Secret

Chapter 39

Lindsey's pov

2 months later
I couldn't stop thinking about what they were doing to Carter. We were living underwater, I was living at my house. Aqua was living at hers and Henry and Jack were staying at the palace. I couldn't believe it had been 2 months. It was late and I was tired but not tired enough every night for 2 months. I swam out of my house and into the open ocean. I popped my head up out of the warm water. No boats, I was confused usually there are 3boats out at this time. I thought maybe they stopped looking. I couldn't believe it we could go back home.

The next morning I slept in late and woke up with the water in beautiful colors. I remembered what I had seen last night and quickly brushed my hair and swam super fast to breakfast in the palace. Jack was seated at the end of the table and the King and Queen were sitting next to each other. Aqua was sitting with Henry so I sat next to Aqua. I started to eat my food. Then I good them "so um I have been thinking I think we can go back" everyone stared at me wide eyed. "Lindsey you know we can't go back" Aqua said. "Never" I asked, no one answered "seriously you guys are just going to live down here well excuse me but there is someone I care about up there who is probably getting tortured because of me! Our lives our up there and my life may be at stake okay but I don't care!" I said. I paused before swimming off, I swam to my house and grabbed my things. Aqua came in and stopped me " Lindsey where are you going" "I'm going back on land to help Carter and fix this" I said as I swam off.

I swam to the tunnels lifted my head but I couldn't go up. There was some kind of glass on top of the pool. I kept pounding but it wouldn't work. I swam out and swam to a place where no one would be. It was by the rocks and cliffs. I pulled myself into one of the rocks and dried my sparkly green tail. I walked onto the beach hoping no one would notice me. There was barely anyone on the beach. It looked like it was about to storm. I walked along the sidewalk only to see this. People lined up outside their homes with police officers and a whole crew of FBI agents, they were searching their houses, for me.

I walked faster while my heart raced, I should have never come back I thought. It probably a bad idea to walk on the sidewalk because there was no one else there so everyone saw me. The people yelled "there she is" the FBI raced towards me. But I was frozen until they came really close to me then I ran I ran onto the beach but they were faster than me and grabbed my wrists. I screamed as they griped me. They pulled me away from the ocean back to the crowd of angry people.

I struggled to get out, but I couldn't. I looked at all the people that I put in this mess. I saw so many people from school in the mob that was screaming at me. I screamed and kicked "let me go!! I'm sorry!" Then the worst thing happened someone threw water at me. After 5 seconds I stopped screaming and everyone stopped shouting. They looked at me funny. I looked at my legs I felt them they were wet but where was my tail. Then the FBI pushed back the people and took me away. They put me in a truck and drove off.

My mind was racing, I was being dragged somewhere and I don't know where my tail went. They took me to a place that almost looked like a hospital. They put me in a room with guy. "So how'd you do it" he said "excuse me who are you exactly" "I'm the head of the FBI" "oh and you are supposed ask me questions about what just happened" I said sarcastically. I could tell he was getting impatient with me. "You know you might not want to talk to me like that cause don't forget I have Carter." My smile faded " what did you do to him!" I yelled standing up. "He has no part in this what so ever he has no use to you" I said. "Chill mermaid, I want to ask you a few questions first" he said. I sat back down.

"How did you do it?" "I didn't do anything!" I said as I grind my teeth together. He pulled out an I pad and clicked the screen I saw Carter in a chair hooked up to a machine. My heart sank and a tear rolled down my cheek. "If you keep telling me lies I will only make this worse." I realized then that the machine was a shocking device. " I don't know what happened" I said he hovered his finger over the button "no please don't hurt him I'm telling the truth! I really have no idea what happened I swear" he moved his finger away from the iPad. He glared at me as I stared into his eyes begging him to believe me. Then he got up and walked out of the dark room. What just happened.
