Mercy's POV
Steam billowed into the air, hissing as the cool autumn arm met the heat of the hot spring pools. It was warm and pleasurable to the skin which I now had in place of fur.
I shook out my shoulder length coffee brown hair and tentatively dipped a foot into the springs. It sent warm shivers up my legs, and I carefully stepped in and waded out to join Senna and Nieta. We had grown up playing in these springs, singing song, and doing water dances, playing games and whatnot.
The warmth ran up my body and I waded in until the water reached my collar. I was just able to touch my toes to the bottom of the springs, feeling the hot stones at the bottom.
"Truth or dare." Senna asked me and I thought it over.
"Dare. But I am not leaving the springs." I snorted and Nieta spread out on her back.
Nieta's human form was fair skinned with long wavy honey brown hair, her eyes were closed peacefully, and the pale birthmark on her forehead gave her a mystical air.
Senna was fair skinned, slightly tanner than Nieta, with her caramel brown hair cut into a sweet pixie, her amber eyes twinkling.
"I dare you to... Ugh I can't dare you to do anything if you can't leave the spring." She groaned.
"Fine you can dare me to leave the spring, but I am not going any farther than the shore." I said firmly and Nieta jerked up, grabbing Senna's arm and grinned.
"Do the twirly butt thing."
Oh moons. I threw y head back and groaned. The twirly butt thing was something I did when we were younger, much younger. I was dancing, quite horribly might I add, and I did some weird move with my behind. From that moment on, I was haunted by the memory of the twirly butt thing.
"Please, anything but that." I moaned, shrinking farther into the hot springs until only my eyes were above the water.
"No, you picked dare." Senna said proudly.
I blew bubbles into the water and slowly turned to the shore. I walked forward and pulled myself out of the springs and glared back at the two.
"Aw come on Mercy!" Nieta shouted up.
"You did it once, you can do it again." Senna snickered.
I sighed deeply and glared at nothing in particular. I began the strange dance move I made up when I was eleven and I pressed my lips together to keep from smiling at the laughter that was emanating from my overjoyed friends.
I was staring out at the trees ahead, avoiding eye contact when something blinked. I froze. There was a small red blip hiding behind the trees in the distance, speaking through the pine trees.
"Mercy? Why did you stop?" Nieta asked.
I couldn't respond, I was frozen in fear. There was something watching us. The red blip brightened, and Senna turned, seeing the light target on my abdomen.
"Get down!" Senna shouted.
I threw myself off the rocks and into the water, shooting back up and away as the energy beam shot threw a birch tree behind where I had been standing moments ago. The tree smoke and lit up in flames.
"Mercy!" I looked up seeing a bot creeping out of the woods, and a second.
"Go!" I shouted, pushing Nieta out of the springs.
With in seconds, all sense of humor had turned to pure terror. Our wet feet slapped on the cool stone, making a turn towards the Dens.
"No! Go back!" Senna screamed.
