Still can't get over the fact that you saw my comment on  Ms. Gabriela Cabezut's photo! I really love Mermaids and the Vampires who love them <3 You really are one of my inspirations in making this story!

Rachel's POV

I woke up finding myself in the living room. How did I get here? Last time I remembered was that I was pulled down by the shark.

I checked my leg and found that it was still intact.

"How?"

This is impossible. There's not even a scratch. I examined my leg. No signs of a wound. I was sure that I was bit by the shark. I even felt more than skin getting torn apart.

"You're awake."

"Damon? What happened? Where's my wound?"

He came closer to me in his inhuman speed and trapped my face in his hands. He looked directly into my eyes.

"You weren't bit by the shark. You only fell," he chanted, his eyes dilating again.

I shook his hands off and glared at him.

"What are you doing?!"

"What the- you're not compelled? Do you have vervain or something on you?!"

"Compelled? Are you doing some vampire trick on me?!"

"Damn girl how can I compel you to go out on a date with me now? This is so unfair," he said smirking while having a tantrum.

"Damon hush. Do you remember anything after the shark bit you Rachel?"

"N-no. How did my wounds heal Midnight?"

"I... Damon gave some of his blood to you to let you heal."

"I'm a vampire?!"

"No Rache. As long as you don't die you won't turn into a vampire. My blood will leave your body after twenty four hours. Don't worry," Damon explained.

They made glances at each other and nodded.

"Yeah that's what happened. That's it," Midnight reassured sounding so not assuring.

I nodded, playing along with their role play. Whatever happened after I got bit I know it's not good, they had to lie about it so it is.

They guided me to the dining hall that they cleaned for the whole day. And all I could say is that they did a job well done. The place is spic and span.

The table was full of delicious food. From my favourites to Nina's favourites. Wait-

"Finally, you're awake! I cooked up dinner. Lucky me, mom and dad agreed that I'll stay with you. All of my stuff are in my room. Sit down Rache, you've been asleep for three hours," she said walking towards me to hug me. "I won't let you be all alone here now would I?"

"Aww thanks best!"Damon offered us seats, even the huskies had their own seats and I was amazed to the last person she gave a sit to. She was beautifully glowing. I suddenly remembered.

"You're the mermaid. How do you have legs?" I immediately shut my mouth from speaking my mind.

She giggled.

"I'm Merlia Waters, Mermaid Princess. Whenever we are out of water our tails change to legs and when our lower half comes in contact with water it returns to its normal form. It's quite painful," she introduced herself.
