Mia is taken by the arm by my father, he's being too rough. "Hey what are you doing?" Mia yells at him. Me and the girl named Randy exchange looks, and we follow them. "You know it's very improper to do this" she yells at him again but again he ignores her. My father realizes we're following them and he sends Randy away, but for some reason grabs my arm too. He brings us into a small clearing in my forest, my mother is standing in the center. She nods to my father and he leaves.
My mother looks at me then Mia. She is looking at Mia with something in her eyes I've only seen her use on me and my siblings. Love.
"I've missed you so much Mia." My mother starts over to Mia but Mia backs up, she looks at my mother with fear. "Who are you?" She asks her. My mother looks hurt. A tear runs down her face. "Mia please-" she is cut off by Mia. "Please what? I don't know who you are or what you want with me" Mia looses her control and yells in my mothers face.
My mother is now sobbing. I run over to her and hug her. "What the heck?!" I ask Mia. "She was going to hug me! I don't know her". My mother nods. We both look at her. "You do though. You do know me." She says. Mia frowns.
My mom looks up at stares into Mia's eyes. Looking at it now they both have the same seaweed green eyes. And the gold on my mothers tail and my own almost matches perfectly with the streak in Mia's hair. Could it be?
No.
She is not my sister. "Mom what's happening please tell us" I plead with her. My mother looks into my eyes and begins her story.
"Years ago before Mia got changed" my mother started but Mia cut her off. "Wait I never had a ceremony I have always been a mermaid" my mother shook her head. "Just let me finish" Mia shuts her mouth and crosses her arms. "Anyways before Mia was changed and you were no more then 2 months old there was a prophecy that two sisters would overthrow the Council, The Changers and the Queen. It said that the one with the bright red hair and the one with the eyes as blue has the sea would be the ones to do so. We saw the colour of Mia's hair and your eyes and knew it would be you two. I took you, Vera, and Koheler took Mia. He made a mistake though. He brought her to the hall in hopes that she would be a land creature like himself but she wasn't. She was a mermaid. If he kept her above land in that form for too long she would die, so he gave her to an old friend named Coral." Mia's eyes grow wide and tears threaten her wall of strength.
"We thought the farther away you were the better" my mother sobs. Mia's the first to speak. "But what about Koheler?" She asked. "After you changed and he gave you to Coral, some unChanged teenagers found him broken down on the stage. But he fled." Waverly finishes.
"But mom why?" I ask her. She looks at me and says one word.
"Love"
Mia and I both stare at her. "Well what does that have anything to do with this?" Mia asks.
"Because we loved you." Realization dawns on us at the same time. "We're sisters" we whisper at the same time. But immediately Mia denies it.
"No, no! My mother was Coral". "Mia, sweetheart, please!" My mother pleads.
"I'm not your sweetheart!
my real mother is dead and its because of you. That's why they killed her! It's because she protected me!" She screamed, tears streaming down her face and then she turned and ran.
My mother is now down on her knees sobbing.
So much for a nice family reunion.
