Two Worlds

Chapter 13

Its been a few days and Roxy is still sleeping, Mira came to check on Roxy, Erika didn't leave her side, Irma and the basking shark explored a little with Dacia so they wouldn't get lost. Although Audrey said she would come a few days after Roxy wakes up Audrey came early instead. Mira took Audrey, Danny, and Tyler to the sleeping chambers to see Roxy. "Erika been by her side since they've arrived." "Elder Audrey... she hasn't woken up yet." "I know. It's nice of you to stay by her side, Roxy found a good friend. I know you are upset and angry at these two but save it for later." "I am and I know." "Why don't you relax from your swim or I can have someone show you around." Tyler and Danny took the tour, Audrey stayed in the sleeping chambers to watch Erika and relax. A week gone by and Roxy was still asleep, before the last day of that week Roxy woke up but for only a couple of seconds. In the seconds Roxy was awake both Audrey and Erika were there by her side. "What happened?" "Don't worry she'll live; Roxy may wake up again later tonight or some time tomorrow." That night like any other night Erika, Audrey, and Mira stayed by Roxy's side to watch if she wakes up again. To Roxy if she was a wake she would think it be a bit extreme for three mermaids to watch her. The next morning all three mermaids were tired for they didn't sleep and Roxy didn't wake till mid-day. "Roxy!" "My dear you gave all of us a fright." "I'm sorry Miss. Audrey and Erika... and Elder Mira." Mira just swam into the sleeping chambers as Roxy started talking. "You're awake at last, good to see you." "Same to you." "Mira do you mind helping me cast a spell?" "To check her blood flow and such?" "Yes." As Roxy kept still Audrey and Mira casted a spell; as they could tell Roxy was fine. "Well?" "You're fine dear. Still I would like if you rest a few days." "We should test her just to be sure everything is good and dandy." said Erika. "Yes, we should but after some rest." "Indeed. If you need anything just ask." "I will, thanks... I'm a little sleepy." "Get some sleep; we'll be here." Mira left to check something and tell the merpeople the good new; Audrey and Erika stayed by Roxy's side to keep watch though the spell showed she was fine. Both Danny and Tyler stayed away from the sleeping chambers the moment they heard Roxy woke up. Tyler and Danny were by the cave entrance to head out and explore a little but was stopped by Erika. "Every day since you guys arrived never once did you check on Roxy. She doesn't ask about either of you but you should show you care even if you don't." "What about you, why are you out and not by her side?" "She told me to go out have fun or hang out with friends." "I want apologize and thank her for saving Danny but-" "Tyler why don't you talk to her while I talk to Danny." Though Tyler was hesitant he did leave to visit Roxy. While Danny and Erika argued Tyler and Roxy chatted some, that you would think they could have been old friends if continued talking. When Tyler came back Danny and Erika was still arguing about Roxy. Erika stopped the arguing and left, back to the sleeping chambers to check on and chat with Roxy. Tyler and Danny left as usual to explore unused caves, watch some animals or coral, and sometimes hunt. Though this time Tyler brought up Roxy and what they chatted about. Danny kept his thoughts to himself even after a topic change. After a week of rest and testing Roxy went to find Brandy to ask if she could teach her how to hunt. Brandy didn't ask for any explanation, still Roxy told her reasoning. "I told you before I would whether he teaches you or not and or if something changes... We'll start next week when I'm sure you have enough energy.
