As soon as I hurriedly sat myself in the backseat, something besides the seatbelt buckle clicked. We forgot Skai! I turned to Blaine who was just now turning the key. Neo was crying without his sister. "Skai is still inside the orphanage!" I cried out. Glancing back and forth between Blaine and Demi, I noticed nobody was moving. "You have to go get her, we can't leave anyone behind." I pleaded. Suddenly Demi recovered from her shock, and burst out of the mini van. A few minutes later she came out carrying little Skai, who was still asleep. Something dark approached from behind her. She ran as fast as she could towards the car, but it was extremely difficult to do while carrying a sleeping six year old. The sky somehow darkened even further and I could hear ginormous chunks of hail denting the roof.

A girl suddenly appears in a blank world where she can create anything and everything she wants. But why does she feel empty inside? How will she make things truly perfect?

Ari Callahan has no idea how to talk to boys -- or how to talk to anyone for that matter. Enter Zac, the cute new guy in town who won't stop texting her. But is his interest real, or does he have a hidden agenda? ***** Found as a young child washed up on the beach, 17-year-old Ari Callahan has never uttered a word out loud to anyone -- not even her adoptive family. Psychologists have diagnosed her with a condition called selective mutism, but Ari can't help identifying with her namesake character, Ariel, the little mermaid in the fairytale whose voice was stolen by a sea witch. Mermaid-obsession aside, Ari's silence makes socializing tough. She's never had a boyfriend or been asked out on a date. Not until Zac, the confident new arrival in town, asks for her number. But Zac has his own reasons for texting with Ari. He's part of a movement to sabotage the artificial music app called SirenSong, threatening to render human singing obsolete. Zac's collaborators have scoured the globe in search of a singing voice perfect enough to break the SirenSong spell, and their search has led them straight to Ari's beachside town. Will her relationship with Zac help Ari find her voice and unlock the secrets of her origins? Or will he use her and leave her high and dry? Title: Ari and Zac (formerly The Mermaid Hypothesis) Content Warning: This story contains references to selective mutism, suicidal thoughts, and early childhood trauma.
