A Saiyan's Melody

Chapter 8: There's More!?

All three of us still inside the cave, and it looks as though we might be stuck until morning. The whole in the top of the cave had closed over. My mermaid tail is yet to have gone away and I am starting to get worried. Victoria is still unconscious, Victor is still trying to wake her up, and I am sitting up against a wall trying to figure a way out. But is doesn’t make sense. The Moon spring has already turned Tori into a mermaid, what else could it possibly want?

“I’m having no luck.” Victor says as he moves away from his sister and props her up against a wall.

“Do you think she will wake up soon?” I ask him.

“I couldn’t tell you.” Victor said as he then sits down beside me, on my left side, against the uneven crystal wall of the cave. “But there is something you can tell me.” His voice turned serious, almost angry. “What the hell happened to my sister?!”

I hung my head to escape his angry stare. I didn’t know how exactly to explain something this bizarre to Victor without sounding like I belong in a mental institution.

“Victor, you have to understand that I don’t know much about this myself.” I spoke in a stern voice, he needed to know that I wasn’t misleading him in any way, “But I can tell you what I do know.”

I went on to explain what I had saw when I transformed, how I didn’t wake up until that next morning. I told him that I could control all of earth’s elements, about the necklace I found, the close calls I have had. Everything I could recall I had told him.

“I see” Victor had started when he finally began to process everything I had told him, “But it seems as though you missed one huge detail.” I arched my brow, what could he know that I didn’]\[, “When you and my sister were floating above the water, you yourself had transformed into something else.”

“What do you mean?” I ask nervously.

“It was like you had a whole other from. You had two legs, your hair was blonde with green steaks, and you wore a white and green outfit. You also held a silver staff.” Victor then paused, I saw his gaze move down the side of my body and stop at around the left side of my bellybutton. “But it looks like the one thing I didn’t notice… you have a tattoo.”

“What?” I looked down to where Victor was looking and saw it. It was a picture of leaves. Three bright green leaves and four small vines that have grown out around them. “No way…how is this possible?” I stared in awe at the small picture that now graced the side of my torso. It really is a lovely little thing, but what does it mean? “Hey Victor.”

“Yeah what’s up?”

“Is there a tattoo on your sister?” his face looked questioning. Victor got up and went back over to his sister. Victor lifted up his sister’s shirt, but saw nothing. Something was telling me she had a tattoo of her own.

Then I felt a burning sensation on my upper back. “Victor, check her upper back.” I told him. I put my hand over my back to see if there was anything on my back, but there wasn’t it was so weird.

“Rochelle! You might want to see this!” Victor said in a really anxious voice.

“I gladly come over there…IF I HAD LEGS!” I exclaim to Victor, he just rolls his eyes. Victor picked up his sister and brought her over to me. And then I saw it, a small droplet of water. Her tattoo was of a droplet of water landing in a small puddle of water. It was very pretty and very detailed, much like my own.

“So if your tattoo is of leaves and you control the earth, is it possible the Victoria controls water because of the water droplet tattoo?” Victor asks me.
