**Alexs POV**

"Oh my God" I muttered quietly. The girls seemed to find what I just said funny, so again they giggled at me and smiled showing pointy teeth.

"You must be the new lost girl we've been hearing about." The first mermaid said to the right of me.

"I thought she was going to be ugly looking, but she’s actually pretty!" The other mermaid stated as she looked at me.

"She is not pretty Meri, look at her hair! It’s all dirty and not even combed properly." The other mermaid said in reply.

"Uh, you guys do now that I can hear you right?" I replied. As I spoke, I slowly started to scout as far away from the water as possible.

All three mermaids stopped moving their tails and just froze looking at me for one brief second before they all burst out laughing again.

"Ohhh so you’re also a talker?" The blond mermaid remarked as she placed her hand on the bank of the beach.

"Yeah no duh, of course I can talk." I replied, again still moving slightly backwards.

"No, No, that’s not what Jewel meant." The red head mermaid replied looking back me with a smile on her face.

"She meant that you have an attitude that we all recognize." the third mermaid, supposedly named Meri replied with a smile as well.

"Oh really? Whose attitude do I remind you of?" I asked. I was almost at the end of the rock.

" Why Peter Pan of course!" Jewel cried out with excitement. After she spoke, all the mermaids blushed and battered their eyelashes at me, as if I was Peter Pan.

"Ew that’s gross. Well sorry to disappoint you girls but I got to go." I replied quickly.

"Wait wait wait! You also remind us of that other lost boy, who left a little while ago. What was his name Serria?" Meri asked.

"Oh it was James." Serria answered. That made me stop in my tracks. I turned back around to face them.

"James? Wait you mean my brother James?" I asked.

"Your James sister?  Oh my gosh we have to be best friends now!!" Jewel replied with excitement. Again it looked like the mermaids were a little obsessed with my brother.. Gross. But then again, I'm sure James would have loved the attention.

"Your brother was so kind to us! In fact we owed him a debt after what he did for us!" Serria replied with a smile.

"What did he do for you guys?" I asked sitting down by the sand and watching them.

One of the mermaids, Jewel, sat next to me and started playing with her hair when she spoke.

"Pan needed something from us. Like he wanted us to leave the island and fetch this paper with a boys picture on it and we didn’t want to go because if we leave the island, then unless Peter Pan allows it, we cannot come home."
