The First Merman.

{XXII.} Return.

Raphael grabbed her arm, "You can't fight her again, Nessie."

She reached up and placed her hand over his giving him a smile before moving his hand. She leaned down and pressed her lips against his. The Elixir was thick in her mouth but it surprisingly had no taste. She expected it to have some taste to it but it was very bland. She lifted herself up and looked at Hasina waving for her to come over.

Vanessa pulled her into out of the water into the air space and placed her hand into Raphael, "Take him back. Please."

Hasina nodded her head and pulled Raphael up from the ground. Raphael turned back towards Vanessa but Hasina quickly pulled him away before he could speak. Vanessa released the shield she was holding up and she swam back up further towards Queen Severina who looked annoyed.

Queen Severina was the one to attack her fruit. She quickly grabbed Vanessa and they twirled around in the water as they both threw their first at each other. Vanessa grabbed her long dark hair, pulling and tugging at it. Queen Severina cried out in pain before growling and held her palm out but Vanessa grabbed it. She brought her arm out towards Queen Severina making get pushed backwards.

"You're lighten tricks are cute." she said amused. "But they won't always work."

Vanessa face scrunched up with determination as she held her arm out, stiffening her fingers slightly and she heard the hard thunder from above the water. Queen Severina grinned her famous well used water snake companion appear circling around her.

Queen Severina jerked her chin and the snake quickly came towards her and Vanessa threw her arm out, making a lightening hit the snake and the water snake disappeared. Vanessa felt so relieved it worked because-

The snake came back and Vanessa didn't know how to get rid of this thing. It came after her and Vanessa dodged it quickly. She threw her arm out, pushing the snake away. She straighten her hand out and threw her arm out, slicing around the snake face. It just came back together.

The snake slithered over towards her and Vanessa face harden, making the snake freeze a few inches away from her. Her nose scrunched up and her hands balled up into a fist. The snake jerked and she focused hard on the snake, trying to gain control of it. It was hard to stop it come wanting to sink it's fang into her. She imagined the snake being torn apart and dying.

The snake threw it's tail around and Vanessa grinned before it disappeared. She waited a moment, expecting the snake to come back but it never did. Vanessa turned around to face Queen Severina but something pushed her back making her twirling into the air. She could sense Queen Severina anger in the magic and tried to get a grip on herself.

When Queen Severina finally stopped, Vanessa felt dizzy and she brought her hand up to her hand. As she tried to focus, she watched Queen Severina hold her arm out, "No more playing games." she said and Vanessa saw something coming towards her very quickly.

It was a net.

Vanessa pushed herself back but she couldn't get her tail to work since she still felt dizzy. The open net wrapped its self around her and she panicked as the weight of it pushed her down to the ground. She couldn't even move her head, she was force to look up above her as the net held her down onto the ground. The net was holding her arms down, she had no control at all.

James swam above her and he quickly swam down towards her. He grabbed onto the net, pulling at all trying to move it. Vanessa had a sense of déjà vu right now and she realized this is what their visions they be having together was. At this moment. She understood now why she kissed him, because the Elixir in her mouth.
