Chapter 4: Dancing In The Moonlight

Chapter 4: Dancing in The Moonlight

Levi's eyes widened, this wasn't his plan at all. He turned just as pale as a ghost, & realized he needed to speak. So he bit the bullet, & his lip.

"Where will you be taking her exactly..? Levi asked, trying to hide his true emotions under his cold grey eyes.

"Hm.. Well Officer Farlan asked if I could take the girl to his office. Says his brother & him are planning on taking care of her. Something like that." The policeman said.

"Farlan... Well he is my brother. Did he tell you... the whole truth?" He asked, looking up because of the height difference.

"That she... Is a mermaid?" He answered. "I don't honestly believe it, but Farlan doesn't tell a lie, so I cooperate."

"Keep her safe, & don't let her touch water. It's how the whole thing works." He explained, crossing his arms.

"Ah... It feels like some stupid "Secret Life of a Mermaid" show. Well I guess I'm the cop, & you're the second main character that falls in love with her." The officer said smirking.

Levi then turned bright red. "Certainly not... This is stupid reality, not some dumb series." He snapped, covering his cheeks.

"I'm Mike. Officer Mike." He said chuckling. "When you two have your wedding I'll call you & say "I told you so" Let's see how right I am."

"Pfft. As if." Said Levi in a remark. "She isn't ugly. But... Grr! Shouldn't you be picking her up? Zoe!" He yelled.

Zoe ran in that same tremble, she was starting to learn how to use her legs a bit more properly. She smiled ran up to Mike, hugging him tightly.

"Zoe stop! You don't just hug random people. You don't know where they been!" He scolded.

Mike couldn't stop laughing. "Easy there lovebird. She's fine." He looked down & smiled back. "Let's take you to Farlan's."

"Oh one last thing. Only ask her yes & no questions." Levi said to Mike.

"How come?"
"Because she's mute. Expect when she turns fish again"

"How does this whole thing work?" He asked.

"If she comes in contact with water, then she'll turn mermaid. If you dry her off, then she'll turn back. Something about that stupid necklace." He explained.

"Now this is really getting weird. Are you sure we're not dreaming?" Mike asked in joking tone.

"I'm pretty sure. Me & Farlan-"

"Farlan & I...?"

"Whatever! We're honest people. I saw it with my own eyes." Levi snapped. "Just take care of her for me, & don't give her anything to drink. We haven't tested that yet."

"Gotcha. Now I'll drop her off. See you later." Mike said smirked a bit under his moustache. He tried to get Zoe to follow him, but she couldn't walk on her own. So he tried to help her walk, but it was too slow. In the end he had her to get on his back in a piggyback ride fashion. Zoe was smiling & having the time of her life, while putting her arms in the air. Levi smirked & rolled his eyes.

"Aye, aye, aye..." He said under his breath, closing the door to now begin his shift.

(Some Time Later...)

Mike had just finished the car drive with Zoe who couldn't help looking out the window. She squished her face to the glass & smiled happily. All the palm trees, cute & colorful beach houses, beach acsesses were going past her eyes in a flash. But it was so cool to Zoe how the humans have functioned. Perhaps they weren't so different, they both had societies, & she could see loving mothers & fathers holding their young children with their older teenage kids tagging along. She held her necklace with her hand tightly, wishing her family could be up here with her. Joining on an adventure.
