Alpha Swims Mermaid Sinks**EDITING????**

Chapter 13

Storm POV

Tears threatened to fall out of my eyes but I refrained, trying to show no emotion except hate. Hours seemed like days, and my stomach growled. I looked up and heard a small slithering. Then I saw it, a giant squid taking the small child I had spoken to off the chains. She screamed, and her scream slapped reality into my face. They were going to eat her.

"Stop coral brains! Hey, ugly pick on someone your own size!" The squid only looked at me, and the little girl let one tear slip down her face, and the squid devoured her. All of the other people in the cell seemed unfazed, as if it happens all the time.

I finally went through that phase, the one where you kick and scream, try to do anything to get out of your kidnapping cell. None of it helped...

Finally, I sung, feeling hopeless that's what I did. I sing folk songs of my kind, the things that help you on your first shift. One that would tell your mate you were ok. It means what I only wish I could do now... It means hope.

When I finished the song I realized I had no hope, I will die without ever seeing my family again, or Nick.

I fell in and out of sleep for a long time, it seemed endless. I gave myself small commands so I could reassure myself I was alive. Think Storm. Talk Storm. Blink Storm. The command I never gave myself was; have hope Storm.

I didn't cry when they whipped me. They were only wanting me to show weakness if that's what they want I will never give it to them.

Chains clinked beside me but I didn't bother to open my eyes, it's just another victim. Just another meal, like that girl.

"Storm?" A heavenly voice sounded beside me. My eyes instantly shot open and I looked right at him, "Nick!" I cried overjoyed the first smile I have had in a long time spread across my face. He stared at me for a few moments and his eyes went black. "They did this to you?" He growled. I nodded, and went back to my emotionless face. Nick looked at me and spread his arms, breaking the chains. I closed my eyes again, trying to fight emotion.

I felt strong arms wrap around me and tingles spread through my body, but I kept my eyes closed. The energy I had when I saw Nick was the last I owned.

I stared down at Storm, she was pale and covered in dirt. Horrible bags were under her eyes, and when they were open they weren't the beautiful swirling colors they once were, they had claimed the color brown. The muscles she had are gone. 'We should've found her sooner' my wolf accused. I didn't say anything back, I was too shocked with her condition. It's only been one week.

Bruises covered her body and large cuts, I looked around and saw no one except the others in the cell.

I roused Storm to wake up. She weakly looked at me, her eyes swirling with a pink and green in the muddy brown. "Shift" I whispered to her, she didn't question me just cocked her head a bit. "I don't have any energy" Storm croaked.

"Your stronger than you think you are," I urged her rubbing her back. She locked eyes with me, and her legs started to twist with each other, pink green and blue scales growing on the tail. She whined and I kissed her temple.

"I'm sorry," I said and put my forehead to hers. I picked her up and walked over to the caves wall and punched the wall with all the anger I had balled up since Storm had gone missing.

Water rushed around me and it felt wonderful to finally be back where I belong. Then I realized something, Nick!! I looked around frantically and found his body floating. Without hesitations I pulled him as fast as I could to the surface. He took a large gasp of air and looked into my eyes and his turned into a bright blue. Before I could reject he embraced me in a hug. What surprised me even more was that I hugged back, and a small verse of a song came out of my mouth. "You came and I never doubted things again". I placed my cheek on his shoulder, wishing I could freeze this moment. Live like this forever. But fate would have it otherwise.

" Storm you have to go, they will kill you if they find you've escaped," Nick pushed me forward so I was looking into his eyes. I shook my head " Im not leaving you," Nick sighed and grabbed my hand "Lets go."

I smiled and focused and instantly my tail flapped and I was swimming faster than I ever have before. I allowed emotion from everything go to my eyes, joy, fright, hopelessness, and most of all the thing I had all along, the thing that never left me, hope. After about ten minutes of the pearls in my hair flopping around while swimming we were all the way to shore and I was shifting back, running with my half-shifted feet to my home, Nick chased after me and a laugh left my mouth. I opened the door and froze.

"Deferch," the rightened whisper left my mouth without any thoughts. "Hi sweetie, ready to die?" He jumped forward lashing at me with darkness, that was his power, controlling the dark to bring forth whatever nightmare he could conjure up.

He threw black knives at me and instantly I dodged, Nick was yelling but I payed no attention. This ends now. Deferch kept throwing until he found my reflexes were to fast, so instead he started sending giant black swords around me, I shrieked and tried to dodge but failed it hit me and cut off a small amount of my hair and sliced through my back partially. He threw another and it headed straight at me, I held a hand up, knowing it was my end. When it hit my hand it disintegrated and light flew through my fingers. I gaped along with Deferch, light manipulation was a rare power amongst angels, and I'm no angel. Of course Deferch's power was the same as mine except the fact it was a rare demons power and was around darkness.

I pointed my hand at Deferch and it hit him, pushing him into my couch and then the wall. He screamed of pain and he had a giant hole in his stomach. I smirked " Not so tough now are you?" Instantly I visioned a sword and flicked my hand in his direction and he dodged, running at me like a football player. When he was just an inch away from me I rolled to the side, but got his fingernails trailing down my leg, leaving blood.

I send a beam of light his way and he jumped away from it just in time, sending me more black knives. I held up my hand and made a small shield from them they implanted into the wall behind me and I send about twenty beaming light knives his way. A lucky knife hit Deferch in the stomach before he could send another black weapon at me. While he was down I ran to him, ready to make the last move, but he got up and sent a beam of darkness at me. I held up my hand and send a ray of light towards my feet went back three inches and the I put all my power into it, I let all emotions go into this. But I left one in my head hate. No I don't hate, it's wrong, instead I put love into it and light overcame darkness. I stared at Deferch's lifeless body laying on the bloody floor of my parents condo. I sighed and kissed the man on the head, he never meant evil. I know he didn't, the amount of power he beheld, that was evil. I won't let that happen to me. I closed my eyes and let go of my power, the sea gods promised me it would go to someone who could hold it, one who I would trust.

I stared at Nick as he walked to hug me, I ran to embrace him, for the first time in a long time, I was happy.

It took us a year to get me used to being away from the beach, it was worth it. Everything from Deferch to pregnancy. Worth it. Now my next big job. The one I've been fearing my whole life. The one I realized wasn't just about my child being a hybrid but of being a mother. I may have Nick with me, but it will still be hard.

I'm willing to face my fears for her... Finn. My daughter.
