Mermaid Bay

Chapter 9

      Vanessa's P.O.V

                I sighed. The beach, it's probobley my favorite place in the  world. I was sitting underneath a huge umbrella drinking my smoothies. Another thing I loved, smoothies. I really wanted to go for a swim but I couldnt risk it. I looked up and down the beach. It was compleatly empty.

"Thats strange" I thought.

   was a sunny sunday afternoon, why wasnt anybody here? I went back to drinking my smoothy untill I felt cold water all over me. I screamed, got up and turned around. There were some teenagers there, a little older than me laughing like crazy. There were about six people, half boys and half girls. I was about to teach them a lesson intill I remembered something.

                  "Shit" I muttered.

                I started to run to the ocean. Right when I thought I was going to make it, when my feet touched the ocean water, I collapsed. I looked where my legs were suppose to be but my tail was there instead. Adreniline was pumping through my vains. I looked at the people, they just stood there silent. We stared at each other for what felt like hours but was acually a few seconds. One of the girls screamed. That caused all of them to start running away. I flapped my way into the ocean. I had to get out of there. They probebly would call the police or something, but who would believe a story about six teenagers seeing a mermaid? no one so I think I am safe.

                I started to look around. I saw a few fish but then I laid eyes on a GIGANTIC shark. It was swimming towards me, but not fast and preditorial. More like it was curious. I felt like I was going to pee because I was so scared. Can I pee? I have no idea. That wasnt an issue right now. A ginormous shark was coming right towards me! It was a lot closer now. I couldnt move. It brushed past me, not taking a second glance swam away. Well, I feel stupid. I got all scared for nothing. I swam to the surface and looked at the beach. I was about fifthy feet away.

 There were police there already. They didnt look very happy. There was about three police officers talking to the six teens on the beach. There was a small crowd on the beach now, watching the commotion. I definatley couldnt go there now. The crappy part is all my stuff is on the beach. What do I have there? A magizine, sunscreen, maybe some lip gloss. I had my phone in my back pocket of the shorts I was wearing. My clothes come back on when I am dry, does my phone? Cause it would majorly suck if it broke. I would worry about that later. I have to go before they spot me.

        'Lets see how fast my tail can go' I thought.

          Going back underwater, I swam as fast as I could. Evereything was a blurr. I stopped and swam to the surface. I was about three miles from where I had started. Sweet!!! Nobody was on the beach so I went to the shore. Once I literally rolled onto the dry sand I used my 'power' as I like to call it to dry me off. My legs soon came back. I stood up and checked my jeans, my phone and thank god my money was in my pockets compleatly unharmed. I let out  a sigh of relif.

    'What time is it?' I wondereed.

      I checked my phone. It was four thirty. Wow, I must have been in the water longer than I thought. I used my phone to call a taxi, It was there in aroud fifteen minutes. It was a different guy then the last time, i told him my adress and he started driving me home.

Gale's P.O.V

 I was just searching the web when I saw some news that caught my eye. SIX TEENAGERS CLAIMS THEY SAW MERMAID AT THE BEACH. Thats weird. I clicked on it and read the article.

      Six teenagers were at the beach and decided to play a prank on a girl about fifteen. They said that they dumped a bucket of water over her head. She freaked out and started to run to the ocean but before she got deep enough she transformed into a mermaid. "We were so freaked out and  afraid that we were going to die". "Chickens" I thought.  We dont know if they are telling the truth or not but whatever happened it definetlly wasnt anything usual.

 It was strange but I felt like somehow it was true, but why? I really need some sleep. So with that I just collapsed onto my bed and wewlcomed the blackness that was sleep. (snore snore hehehehehehe sorry I just had to do that"

Unknown P.O.V

    We heard about some teenagers seeing a mermaid near L.A at the beach. Time to go hunting. I smirked at the thought we havent been hunting in awile. That old lady better stay away because this time i Wouldnt hesitate to shoot. I called my buddies. They were as happy as I was. I went into my closet and grabbed my weapons. It's time.
