"Soon I know I'll wake from this dream.

Don't try to to fix me I'm not broken,

Hello, I'm the lie,

Living for you so you can hide,

Don't cry."

- Hello by Evanescence

They had arrived at the spot where there was indeed a huge tree covering something that somewhat looked like a tunnel.

"Uhm... So what are we gonna do again?" Aquata asked. The Mermaid stood next to the Angel who had descended and folded his wings back into place.

"Kira, Tailor and I will move the tree." Kai replied matter-o-factly.

"Oh... T-then why am I here?" The youngest girl questioned. She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and folded her arms... It was starting to get chilly out.

"Because you're a healer. If someone gets injured in sure you can help them. Right?" A reassuring smile.

You see, unlike most supernatural creatures, mermaids were a bit different. While Wolves and Skin Walkers aged faster so it would kinda be like dogs where 1 of our years is 7 of their years. Mermaids aged slower. While Aquata would be 28 in human years, she is just 14 in mermaid years. It's difficult to understand but that's the way they live. Meaning that even though Nixie was the youngest in human years, Aquata was far younger in supernatural years.

This meant that her mermaid abilities had just started to be figured out. She just found out she was a healer a couple weeks ago. She and Nixie had both learnt magic from Jinx but only Aquata could master healing.

"R-right!" She squeaked. Even though she could master healing doesn't mean that she has already. She barely knew the basics of healing. What in the world am I doing here?! She had thought to herself.

"Ok let's get the tree up." Kai snapped his fingers and everyone stood up. He stripped his jacket and dropped it on Aquata's shoulders before patting her shoulder gently. "You'll do fine."

The Skin Walker, the Angel and both Werewolves gathered around the tree to assess the damage.

"It doesn't look like that heavy of a tree, but it still looks like it would require some man-power." Pipped up the Angel to which the Skin Walked growled rather loudly, "I'm sorry some Woman-power." He fixed and smiled gently toward her.

"Okay Chase. Step back for a bit. We're gonna attempt to lift it. Keep a watch out for any suspicious behavior. Am I clear?"

"Crystal, sir." Chase replied before returning to the Mermaid's side.

"Okay, I want Kira in the middle, and Tailor and I will hoist this thing up from the top and try to toss it over." He instructed.

"Sir." They both nodded and stationed themselves where they were ordered to.

Without any difficulties they eased it up and tossed it to a side.

"Perfect. Now Chase, you know what to do. Take care of Kira for me. Let me know if anything goes wrong. We'll be right here to keep watch. Understood?" Kai spoke directly to the Angel and directed attention to the newest member.

"Yessir." His posture straight and his voice strong as he spoke to his alpha.

"On your way." The alpha ordered and Chase motioned Kira to follow him.
