Mermaids and the Vampires who Love Them *my version*

Chapter 8

I created a snowstorm, and we had a blast doing snow stuff. Crumpet, Lissa and I had to hide behind my shield from LunchtimeMayhem. For once, I was happy. Like genuinely happy, without being forced. My childhood was seeing loved ones-friends and family-die to protect me. Riiinnngggggg.... It was end of it! I cleared up the mess, and we all went to class.

~time skip to before party~

"I cant wait!" Lissa says, putting on a delicate glimmer to her pale pink eyeshadow, a layer of gloss to her lips, and a dab of sparkles here and there. She smelled like fresh rose with morning dew, rebirth from winter. She has a pink dress on. It ended in a flurry, and looked like a rose in bloom. She secretly admires Cupid. "Let your hair down," i say, "and add this," i add a plait "and this," an accessory "and TA da!" I say. She looked absolutely stunning. "What are you going to wear?" She asks me. I pull out a knee length dress. It looked like a glimmering sunset, and hey it matches my other cape. It had a hood and it looked exactly like the colors of my dress. The dress spreads out past the waist, and is really pretty with a glimmer belt. Lissa's mouth was wide open. "Stop gaping like a sunbathing alligator," i tease, slugging her in the arm. She slugged me back. We quietened down as we heard footsteps approach. "Sshh," i tell Lissa. "Are you sure there's no one?" An oily voice said. Father! "Are you sure that Athena won't find out?" Another voice, scratchy and rusty.

"As long as she and Mirianne don't find out. It is hard to know that she part of a failed experiment." The oily voice that I had grown up to, my DAD. "Dirk, though you are part demon," there was a chuckle at this. "Athena is pathetic." The rusty one said. Failed experiment. It means Angel and Dirk are not my parents. THEY KIDNAPPED ME! "Come on, let's go back," the rusty one said. We waited till they were gone, long on their journey back. I grabbed Lisa's hand and pulled her out. "Did you hear what they said?" I ask. "Yes." She wore a terrified frown, lip quivering. I pull her in for a bestie hug and the two of us left for the party.
