Chapter 24

As soon as I hit the water Shayla ran away and Zach ran towards me, my legs started to get closer and soon I could feel as if I had no legs. My shirt disappeared and my blue bikini top was revealed again, Zach looked down and saw my tail in the water I lied on my back with my tail showed off to the world. Yet Zach still stared in amazement, like the same thing happened to me but that was not the truth.

"How did this happen to you Lyla?" He asked.

I huffed "Zach please whatever I tell you, you can trust me please?" Zach nodded and I swam up to the edge of the small dock leaning on the side "Please listen" I began "We're not your regular mermaids" His eyebrows rose as I said,

"We're?"

I nodded "Me, Echo, Addison, Nixie, Maya and Melody"

"What about Celeste and the principal?" He asked, I nodded Zach looked startled.

"But we did not have your land people's legs until a few weeks ago. As in we are born mermaids, lived in the sea until it was the 16th moon. Where me and my friends were chosen to become a certain mer. we were chosen to become a gilded, and in this we are supposed to become the six gilded queens,

"But we have to earn it, by getting the six pieces of this Golden Tablet. The last piece is around your neck"

Zach looked down to his necklace, Zach looked at me straight in the eye "You lied to me" He whispered under his breath.

"Zach I didn't lie to you, I was given a task and said to do it. But my feelings for you are real" I tried to climb on to the dock but my hands were wet.

"You lied to me" He repeated "And for what? So you can be some Oh So Special mermaids? Well let me get this to you straight Lyla, you are never getting this necklace. So you will never be a Gilded"

Then Zach got up and left, I leaned onto the dock and yet he was gone "I will never be a gilded. I said to myself, anger flushed through me I could never go back to Cato my dear brother and this land boy was getting in between that.

I dove back into the water and kept saying the same thing to myself "I will never be a gilded"
