I explained to my mother what was going on. And who Kavan was. She met him and agreed to allowed Kavan to stay with us. For the time being.

No siblings of mine lived here any more right now so there was a spare room Kavan could stay in. For the time being. Until he returned to the sea where his home was.

How was it the sea witch was getting me messed up with the real princess Elissa? Maybe because Kavan let me keep the necklace. That was the only thing that made sense to me. The necklace was the connection.

Mother went to bed for the night. I went to get Kavan extra blankets. I wanted to check on him to make sure he actually got some sleep. We would both be going to work in the morning.

Unless the boss called my former employers and then Gary would get me fired from this job as well. I hoped they would see I was a hard worker. And allow me to keep working. I really needed a job.

I head upstairs. Butterflies jumble inside my stomach. I raise my wrist and knock on the door. "Kavan? It is Elissa" I say. "Can I come in?" I ask.

"Come inside" he answers me.

I open the door. There he was on the ground doing push up's. Shirtless. My mouth about drops open. I close it quickly. I forgot how good looking the man was. Were all mermen perfection like him? I walk around him and set the set of blankets on the bed for him. Then sit down on the bed while I waited for him to finish working out. Then he gets up.

"I am not sure I will get much sleep. I am worried she will return here" he warns me. "you once saved me. Helped me. And I will be sure to return the favor" he tells me.

I nod. "Thank you Kavan for keeping me safe. So, the sea king himself allowed you to become human? And stay on land?" I ask.

He nods. "Only the sea king has the power to grant that to his people. The sea witch wants to get that power. And be able to do as she wishes. She knows if she finds the princess who is on land here some place then she will have something to hold over the king. And get that power she craves. I have to find the princess before she does so that is why else I am on land as well. To look for my princess" he adds.
