Moon Stones Gone Missing

Chapter 7

Everyone went back to Rita's and agreed that Sirena's idea was very good. They decided to meet up the following morning at Zac's house before they set off. Zac looked for a map on the internet, Evie packed lots of food and drinks, and Sirena, Mimmi and Ondina packed some of Rita's potions and magical objects, in case of emergencies. Rita had given Mimmi clear specific instructions on which potions to use, and which you had to mix together, and Mimmi promised that she wouldn't let anything go wrong.

David and Carly were unable to come, because they had to stay and run the Ocean Café. Also Mimmi suggested that the less people go, the better.

Cameron said that he wanted to come, but Zac managed to convince him that it would be too dangerous.

"Well, if you need anything, the first person you call is The Camster," Cameron told Zac quickly.

The following morning the three mermaids said their goodbyes to Rita, and then made their was over to Zac's house. Evie were already there.

"Ready to go?" Ondina asked everyone.

"Just about," Zac said. He held up his map, where he had circled a small town a short travel up the cost, with the best view of Mako Island possible. "We just have one problem: how are we going to travel there?"

"Swim?" Ondina said.

Evie gave a small laugh. "We can't swim with these bags!!" She held up two bags of food and bottled drinks, and there were three more at her feet.

"We can magic them to stay above the water and follow us?" Sirena suggested.

"I don't think that will work if we pass a boat full of humans or something," Mimmi shook her head.

"Well, my parents have gone away for the weekend... My mum's car is still in the garage... But I don't know how to-"

Suddenly Zac's sentence was cut off, as he began to have a vision. Zac normally got small glimpses into the future, or images of places he had to go, and as Mimmi was his sister, she got the same visions too. The siblings both froze, looking quite taken back, there mouths handing open slightly and their eyes wide.

They saw the entrance to the Merman Chamber, in Mako Island. The image suddenly flashed, and then they were inside the Merman Chamber. They could see the back of a young man, with blonde hair, holding what looked like a smaller version of the trident stone... The young boy then turned around, and they saw his face. Erik.

Then the vision ended.

Zac and Mimmi both took a deep breath and closed their eyes for a moment, processing what they just saw.

"Mimmi?" Ondina asked, rushing over to her best friend.

"Zac?" Evie questioned, grabbing his arm.

Zac and Mimmi opened their eyes.

"What did your two see?" Sirena asked.

Zac and Mimmi looked at each other. "The Merman Chamber," Mimmi responded.

"And Erik," Zac added.

"Holding the trident stone," Mimmi commented.

"Erik?" Ondina asked. For a short time, she and Erik used to date, but he picked the Merman Chamber over her, as he was eager to start it up and see what happened. He claimed that he had no idea what it would do to the mermaids, but Ondina had ended the relationship anyway.

"But why does he have the trident stone? It was destroyed when we defeated Erik and saved Zac," Sirena reminded them.

"That's why he's stealing the moon ring stones," Mimmi snapped her fingers. "He's making another trident stone, so he can activate the chamber!"
