Two Mermaids and One Direction

Flaws

Cassie's POV

I was pacing the room. Brittany was gone with... Grace.

I personally didn't really trust Grace. "I just need your help and I'll help you get to level ten." Look hunny I've been their for I while now. I can control my powers in a way no one else can. I could just... ugh.

And their is a flaw to her multiplying money plan. Every single dollar bill has a combination of letters and numbers on it that is different from every other bill. She should just be glad no ones noticed she has millions of dollars with the same combination on them.

But she's not the only one with special powers. I'm not just any mermaid. I'm a royal. Meaning my parents rule over certain parts of the sea. Widimer is Latin for mermaid. Yes I know Latin. It's a royal thing. Another thing about being a royal is that we get other powers. Like hypnotism. We can compel anyone to do what ever we say. Although I don't use this power much, it is still useful to have.

A bag of popcorn kernels then exploded and popcorn flew everywhere. That's when I realized my hands had been clenched into fists causing the whole room to heat up.

We were at Harry and Louis' flat. By we I mean everyone. By everyone I mean Grace included.

We were going on tour with the boys for at least 2 months in a week.

"So Grace, you found Brittany and that's great, but we're leaving in a week so..."

"What?" She seemed confused.

"Yeah we're going with the boys for the first part of their tour." Lily said.

"That's... umm... uh..." she stuttered.

"Amazing!" Emily squealed.

"Don't you mean amayzayn? (A/N: and yes I meant to add another y) Lily said, making Zayn look away, just the hint of pink on his cheeks.

We all laughed.

"AHHHHHHGG" I screamed



I had just woken up from a dream. I don't know why I was screaming. I must've fallen asleep while watching that awful movie with the boys and the girls.

"Brittany! What happened?!" Louis yelled frantically.

"I had this dream," I panted. "Grace... my whole family... they were all alive, I was so happy but Cassie was mad and kinda thought Grace was a bitch." I said in between breaths. "And Grace was being all pushy. I was one fourth siren, and one fourth wizard or something."

"Wow" Louis said.

"Yeah, that's crazy" Lily agreed.

I smiled at Louis. He held out his arms and I quickly threw myself in them. That dream was weird, and I didn't believe it was all fiction...

"You scared me with that scream," Lou chuckled. I couldn't help but blush a bit.

"I wake up screaming nearly every morning," I frowned "It's no different in mid afternoon."

I thought back to that dream. To Grace. No, she isn't alive, that's for sure. Her blood was coating her, no way. I tensed up as I remembered that day, the worst day ever. Louis felt me tense up, and pulled me closer.

"It's not your fault," he whispered into my hair. I squinted my eyes shut. It was my fault. I'm the older one. The one who should protect the younger one. I should've broken Grace's fall. She should be here, in Louis' arms. No longer alone.

"It is." I sobbed.

"Stop. Just stop. This wasn't your fault. God wanted Grace, not you. You and I are meant to be together, ok?" He inhaled "I love you Brittany. You mean everything to me. Just don't wish yourself dead. Please." I buried my face into his chest. He doesn't understand. Nobody here does. All they can do is comfort me, but honestly, that's all I need right now.

"I love you too Louis," I gave him a weak smile. He took my hand and stood up. Everyone was gone, they went in the kitchen to play truth or dare.

"Going to play?" he asked. I shook my head.

"Nah, going home. I think I need to research some things..."

"I'll come with you." Lou smiled. He grabbed his car keys and led me outside. I got in the passenger side and Lou took the driver's side.

"So, what do you need to research?" he asked.

"Mermaid stuff," I started "I don't think my dream was just a dream. Call me crazy, but I think it was a sign. Grace told me I'm a quarter wizard and a quarter siren. Then she said that she can remove the siren part. Then I can sing without drawing in men," Lou looked shocked. "No, I didn't use it on you. You wouldn't feel anything if I sang and dragged you under a spell." he looked relieved.

"So, can I help?" he looked hopeful. I nodded.

"I need somebody else there, and Cassie is playing, so..."

"YAY IM THE SECOND CHOICE!" Louis joked.

"Only because you may not understand all this mermaid magic stuff," I rolled my eyes. We pulled up to my flat and exited the car. Louis locked it and jogged to catch up to me. He held open the door and I walked in. My phone buzzed in my pocket notifying me I had another Twitter mention. The 23rd one today. Probably another snobbish teen telling people how stupid and slutty I am.

When we reach my living room, Lou plops down on the couch.

"Be right back," I headed towards my room. I grabbed my book and a couple pieces of jewelry from my mother. I rushed back to Lou.

"Whatcha get?" he sat up.

"My book and mom's jewelry." I placed them on the coffee table and let Louis see them. He picked up the book.

"If your mom wrote this, wouldn't the information be in here?" He asked. I shook my head.

"I don't know. Maybe..." I opened the book with the key on the necklace I wear. I flipped to the last page.

"If we decode this," I pointed to the strange writing on the page "we can figure out where to go to get information." I finished. Lou slowly nodded.

"So, what language is it?" I looked at the writing on the page after Lou's question. It was a few scribbles and shapes, with some weird symbols.

"Not a clue." I claimed. "But it's gonna take a hell of a ton of work to figure it out."
