It was finally saturday.All the waiting since Monday was over.

I woke up unusually early by 8:00am for a saturday morning.

Emily herself was going to sleep over this night to hear Gram's adventurous stories of young knights,vampires,witches and mermaids.

After having a 45 minute long bath,I dragged myself to the floor by side of my bed using telekinetics because lately it has become easier to carry other things apart from myself.

I dried myself and wore a nice blue-green T-shirt that matched the color of my eyes and black shorts.After putting on my flipflops,I went downstairs in search of food.

I managed to savage a cup of mango juice from the fridge before preparing my cocoa puff cereal which was exquisite as usual if you care to know.

I then sat down at the parlour with my dad after saying good morning and pecking his cheeks.When I realised that he was watching one of his beloved soap operas,I brought out my laptop and started to check somethings on net.

My aunt had gone to the supermarket to buy groceries.

Secretly i was hoping grams will bake her special apple pie which i loved so much this night.

After watching watching his soap opera,dad finally went to his room and was I glad?

I immediately put a cd of 'Hellcats' into the DVD player.

Lets go HELLCATS!!

Eventually emily came along around 11:00am with my aunts,after helping my aunt put the groceries in the kitchen,she glared at me.

"you started watching hellcats without me",she said accusingly.

I smiled sheepishly and said,"I'm sorry,it kept calling unto me"

she grudgingly sat by my side on the couch.

"i'll lend it to you so you can watch it at home?",i said and she beamed at me.

We were watching this when grams came home.

"Grams",we shouted and ran to her as soon as the door opened.We hugged her tightly.

"Sweathearts",she said when we finally let her go.We held her hands giggling excitedly.

My dad and aunt came into the living room at that moment.

"Jane...you look good",dad said while hugging grams.

"as usual",my aunt said giving grams a peck.

"Claire how have you been?",Grams asked Aunt Claire.

"fine of course,i'm sure you enjoyed youself in America...i just baked some bread and cake and there's jam so why dont we all sit and eat",Aunt Claire said.

"And so i saw the man again.He decided that if he flattered me,i would probably forgive him,so he started to tell me how beautiful I looked while kissing my hands...british men are so silly...but his accent was my undoing and i eventually forgave him",Grams said concluding the fifth story she had told us since she arrived and we burst into laughter together.

The sun was already setting.

"You guys should go and change into your swimming trunks we are going to the beach,emily take a breathing mask for yourself",she said.

"okay",we both said running up the stairs to my room.

As we changed to our trunks,we kept speaking excitedly.

When i looked into the mirror,my eyes were shining dangerously like diamonds.

We walked to the beach together with me wearing sunglasses.

When we got to the beach,Grams led us to the water and told us to follow her before diving into the water.

She turned to look at my tail then grunted follow me.We followed her for a long time as she swam without a breathing mask but she had no tail.

We followed her to a strange island in the middle of the sea.After drying myself,we walked into a kind of cave where grams put her hand in the wall and murmured something.The solid wall suddenly opened.

When we went through the open entrance,we entered a strange cave room.

The cave room curved to form a circle and it began to narrow as it went up until it was a small hole at the top which was not covered by any roof and we could see the dark star-filled sky.

It looked like the inside of an inactive volcano.

Directly beneath the open roof was a circular pool.The pool kept glowing and when i looked closely at it,i realised that there were numerous moonstones underneath it.

There was a small entrance inside the pool and grams told me to enter the pool go to the other side of the pool.

When i went there,i saw another room exactly like the other room only that it glowed with blue-green colour and there was no roof in this caveroom.

When i got out of the pool,i watched as an inscription began to form on the walls of the cave.

I looked closely at it and realised that it was an image of me with a tail and underneath it was written these symbols

₹>\§¤¥₹ ¥₹^~¤\

As soon as i saw the symbols,I could read them,they meant Vanessa Mermaidia.

When I came out of the cave room into the one grams and emily were in,grams was standing by the wall looking at the thousands of inscriptions on the wall.

When i looked closely at the wall,i realised that it contained inscriptions of different mermaids.

"its our family tree and this cave belongs to our family,but the room you entered is yours and yours alone,the entrance door in the pool leads to different rooms for different people",Grams said.

"So that room is kinda like my safe haven?",I asked.

Just then i looked up and saw as the moon positioned itself directly above the small pool.

Grams then told me to enter the pool and i did as she told me to.

As soon as i entered the pool,ripples began to form as seven mermaids formed from water surrounded me.They stretched their watery hands towards me and pushed my head underwater and a blue light shot from the sky through the open caveroom roof.

It enveloped I and the mermaid standing directly in front of me.Part of the blue light went into the moonstone and the water mermaid kissed my moonstone necklace before whispering to me,"you are now truly one of us"

She said this before dissolving into the water with the blue light and the other six mermaids.
