Kaitlyn's POV

We were stepping out of the limo and out into the streets of Australia. I grabbed Shawn's hand as we proceeded into the crowd of paparazzi and fans. We were going to stay in a hotel until the tour bus gets here tomorrow, but the boys insisted that we stay at one of there houses. My phone vibrated, so I pulled it out of my pocket.

From Liz Hemmings

You can stay at my house, that's fine.

I was confused until I read the text before.

To Liz Hemmings

Hi, this is Kaitlyn Hunt. I'm a friend if Luke's. Do you mind if I stay at your house with my boyfriend while we wait for his tour bus?

I looked at Luke. I let go of Shawn's hand and walked over to him. "When did you steal my phone?" I asked him. He smirked.

"In the limo," he replied. I shook my head and put my phone away. I walked back over to Shawn and grabbed his hand again.

"We're staying at Luke's house," I said. He nodded and we continued walking with our security guards.

We walked into a restaurant and sat at a table.

"Welcome to my house," Luke said, opening the door. I lifted my bag. It smells like vampires in here. I walked inside and into the living room. My jaw dropped.

"This is where you recorded Jasey Rae," I said. He smiled.

"Yeah."

"Shawn, guitar please?" I asked. He handed me my guitar and I sat on the couch. I smiled and lightly strummed the first chord. I mouthed the words to the song as I continued strumming.

About one third into the song, I felt some thing tickling my throat. My eyes widened and I stopped singing. I ran outside and sneezed. I came back in the house.

"Oh no," Shawn said. My heart felt like it was being squeezed. A lump came to my throat.

"What?" Luke asked.

"There's a week every 7 years that hybrids get sick. Kaitlyn just sneezed. This is the 7 days she's sick," Shawn explained.

"What if it was just a sneeze?" Luke asked.

"I'm an angel, I don't sneeze," I said. I felt a strong presence and my eyebrows drew together. "An angel is coming down from heaven."

"Who?" Shawn asked. I shrugged, looking up at the ceiling.

*flashback*

"I will always be one of your guardian angels."

*end flashback*

"It's Johanna," I said. I coughed. There was a flash of light and I looked over to see Johanna standing in the corner of the room. Tears came to my eyes. I stood up and ran over to her, attacking her in a massive hug.

"I told you. I would always be your guardian angel," she said, hugging me back. She pulled away and put her hand on my forehead. All of the aching I felt vanished. She kissed me on the forehead. "I love you, Kaitlyn." She smiled and disappeared in a flash of light.

I turned around slowly with tears in my eyes. I looked at Shawn and he opened his arms. I ran over to him and collapsed in his arms, grabbing his shirt for comfort. He lifted me back up to my normal hight, but he was still bearing all my weight. I buried my face in the crook of his neck and put tear stains on his t-shirt.

"Where's Jessica?" Luke asked. Shawn let go of me and I was able to stand on my own.

"She's probably exploring with Lizzy. They've both wanted to come to Australia for as long as I can remember. Then, when they became fans of you, they wanted to come even more," I said. My phone started ringing.

"Ello," I answered.

"Kaitlyn. We're going to the beach, you wanna come?" Lizzy asked. I pulled the phone away from my head and looked at the contact name.

"Yeah, sure. Why are you calling me on Jessica's phone?" I asked.

"I don't know. Meet us here." She hung up.

"She wants us to go to the beach with her."

"Let's go then," Luke said.

"Uhm, we should get changed first," Shawn said. I nodded.

"Okay, go. The room is over there on your right," Luke said. We walked into the room. I pulled out one of my swimsuits. It was teal with black lace over the top of it. I walked into the closet and got changed and Shawn got changed in the bedroom. We both walked out of the room, me with a tank top and shorts on, and Shawn with his swim trunks and a tank top on. Luke was waiting for us at the door.

Lizzy's POV

I was sitting on the beach, thatching them play in the water. I couldn't go in the water, I would turn. Not even Kaitlyn knows I'm a mermaid. She thinks I'm human. Ashton came and sat next to me, dripping with ocean water. I scooted away slightly.

"Why don't you come in the water with us?" He asked me. I looked at him.

"I don't like the water," I said. Massive lies. I love the water. Why didn't I tell him I didn't wear a swimsuit or something?

"Come on, it'll be fun." He said, standing up. I looked up at him. Right into his beautiful chocolate brown eyes. "Come on, Elizabeth," He said. He grabbed my arm. He has water on him. And he touched me. I looked at his hand and groaned.

"Ashton, why?" I yelled. I ran to the water and dived in.

I opened my eyes and saw how beautiful it was. I swam out farther and saw fish. I smiled. Then I remembered. They're going to be worried about me. I swam back to shore and popped my head up so my eyes were out of the water. Ashton spotted me. I dived back under water.

I felt something grab my tail. I looked back and saw it was a crab. I pulled it off.

"That hurt," I said. I looked around and saw Jessica swimming over to me. I widened my eyes. "Jessica, you'll drown!" I yelled. She laughed. My eyebrows drew together. Her eyes widened and she brought her hand to her neck.

"I'm making sound." She said. My eyes widened even more. "I'm part mermaid, I just don't have a tail," She said. She put her hand out. I grabbed it and she swam back to where they were.
