The Merman's Slave(Completed!)

Chapter 20: Operation Potion

I swim around in circles thinking of a better escape plan.

"This seems like it should be in "Finding Nemo" not happening to us," Amber says, sulking on a rock.

"Well it is happening to us, sorry to say. Though Nemo could gladly take the idea," I state, chuckling to myself.

"Escapè!" Abriella yells, making us all fall to the sand laughing.

"Who said just because we're trapped in here like animals doesn't mean we can't have fun?" Amber hollers between laughs. I bolt up to the surface and splash the guard with all my might.

"I'll get Rafe!" The guard growls. I glare and dive back under.

Soft singing rings through the water. Amber, Abriella and I plug our ears and swim to the surface. Narina walks around a corner and puts the guards in a trance.

"Not to shabby for a siren," I say swimming over to her. She laughs as if I'm joking and walks over to me.

"As if you could do better?" She questions. I enjoy picking on her. "Any way, I'm here for my brother. Where is he?"

"Umm...how do we say this without getting you too angry?" I choke out.

"Rafe took him! We trying to get him back but can't come up with an effective plan!" Abriella blurts out in fear. I hit my forehead with my palm and shake my head. A storm immediately forms over the island we're in.

"WHAT?!?!" Narina screeches. I hear shouts coming from outside the cave and grab Narina's wrist and pull her in. 

"Calm down and be quiet, Narina. Gods' sakes, have you lost it?!" I shout at her and drag her down to the bottom of the cave.

"No, I'm completely sane! It's you who's lost it! Why was my brother taken and how could you let it happen!?" She growls.

"We had no control, Rafe took him from right under our gills!" Amber steps in and says. I high five her for being the first to use mermaid metaphors.

"And you're gonna be next if you don't shut up, Narina!" We all yell at her.

"Fine," she says calmly, "We need a plan. And as soon as possible."

"Ok, well, I have an idea. Rafe has a potion we can drink to get legs but, Narina, since you're the only one who can freely have legs without excruciating pain, you need to get it," I exclaim. She nods.

"But how without getting caught?" She asks.

"Knock a guard out and use his uniform," I say. She nods and we all swim to the surface. She sings a song to hypnotize the guards.

"Come to the sea, rest near the waves. Come for me, don't lead astray. Kiss me, my love. I'll wait up above. Then down under we'll go, for me and you." The song radiates off the walls into their ears, tricking their minds with its magic. If I wasn't as strong than I am, it would've gotten to me too.

I look at one of the guards and concentrate on him blacking out. Waves of concentration shudder through me and magic pushes to the guard. Within seconds he's on the ground.

"Don't look!" Narina said walking to a corner. We laughed and dove beneath the surface.

We laugh and talk as we wait for Narina. She hits the water with her hand and we rush back up. "Looks a little snug on you," I laugh.

"Ugh, no kidding," she groans, shifting in the armor. It only moves a bit. The armor's obviously not made for a girl.

"Alright, now we need you to get that potion," Abriella orders. We nod and Narina takes off. Swimming down to the bottom of the cave, we think of how we can look like Rafe's maids.

"We could ask a few maids to come here, knock them out, drag them away and steal their outfits!" Amber suggest, flames of vengeance burning in her eyes.

"Chill out, chicka," I laugh.

"You know I don't know the meaning of those words!" She jokes. "You know what sounds good right now?"

"No, what?" Abriella asks.

"A strawberry supersplosa!" Amber exclaims.

"Omg, yes!" Abriella and I say in sync. A few minutes later, Narina comes back with the potion and maid outfits.

**A.N.** A supersplosa is an imaginary candy I came up with that is like a gel sack and when you bite into it, it burst with yummy flavored gels and sugars. Sorry it took so long to get this up but between school, homework, sleepovers and being lazy, I haven't had much time to work on this.
