The Tale of a Tail (mermaid story) COMPLETED

Another Mermaid?

"How are we going to find your mom if you can't get your legs back?" Orabel asked.

I had told Orabel about the Sirens Song. I really needed to find my mom I had so many questions to ask. Why had she not told me I had two other sisters? Why hadn't she ever mentioned anything about this crazy second life she had been living. True, she had never taken to me to the pool as a kid. Only my dad. I wonder if my dad even knows? But the main idea is that I need to get home fast.

"I really don't know, okay! We have to get Shai, Emily, and Lagoona before Dillain finds them though!" I screamed looking over at the opening. Then the worst sound imaginable filled the room. It was a blood piercing scream that made my eyes wobble out of control. I looked over at Orabel and Morgan.

"We have to go now!" Orabel yelled grabbing my hand and pulling me through the opening of the crystal door. I climbed through and jumped onto one of the jellyfish. Dillain was slashing furiously at Emily with a dagger while Shai and Lagoona where pulling him back.

"LILY, HELP!" Lagoona screamed. I summoned all the water around me and formed the strongest bubble around everyone except Lagoona and I. I knew Lagoona could help.

"WHAT CAN STUPID MERMAIDS LIKE YOU DO TO PROTECT THE CITY OF LAGOONA WHEN I COME AND DESTROY IT!" Dillain yelled charging at us with the knife. He missed Lagoona by an inch.

"WE CAN DO THIS!" I yelled back forcing him back with a water barrier. Lagoona then did the same.

"STAY BACK YOU FISH!" Dillain yelled breaking the barrier and looking Morgan straight in the eye. Then he started mumbling something weird. "Αφήστε την θάλασσα, όπου μπορείτε κατάρα δεν μπορεί πλέον να είναι. Το εσωτερικό πνεύμα θα ελευθερωθεί. Μείνετε μακριά από τη θάλασσα!

Afí̱ste ti̱n thálassa, ópou boreíte katára den boreí pléon na eínai. To eso̱terikó pnév̱ma tha elef̱thero̱theí. Meínete makriá apó ti̱ thálassa!"

"NO, DILLAIN, NO!!!" Yelled Lagoona jumping onto him. It was already too late. I understood what he had said.Let the sea, where you are cursed can no longer be. The inner spirit freed. Stay away from the sea! Was as close as I could translate it from Greek to English. Slowly the gils on his neck went away. I think Dillain had just abandoned Morgan as one of his kind.

"Morgan!" I cried try to force all the water out of the bubble he was in but Lagoona was already muttering something under her breath that I couldn't hear. Morgan looked like he was in great pain. He groaned and winced as Lagoona continued.

"What are you doing?" I whispered but before Lagoona could answer I felt a horrible pain in my back.

"LILY!" Emily and Shai screamed rushing over to me.

"What happened?" I asked slowly loosing sight of everything around me.

"He stabbed you!" Shai growled. Morgan let out a horrible yell and swam over to Dillain in a mermaid tail! It was black itch little hints of red at the end. He was angry.

"NO ONE TOUCHES LILY!" He yelled grabbing the dagger out of Dillain's hand. Dillain was backing up but with one last smirk he disappeared behind the diamond door.

"AARRRGH!" Morgan yelled throwing the dagger at Dillain. Orabel caught Dillian's hand a let the blade skin the top.

"TRAITOR!" Dillain yelled at Orabel shaking her off. With that he slipped through the doorway clutching his arm.

"SISTER!" Lagoona yelled swimming over to hug Orabel.

"So I'm guessing when you said he is coming you meant Dillain and when you said she is coming you meant Orabel?" Shai asked.

"I don't remember any of that," Lagoona answered.

"We'll you where kind of in some sort of trance anyway," Shai smiled starting to swim to the top. Lagoona grabbed mine and I tried to grab Morgan's but he shook his head. He was actually really good for a beginner. The pain in my back hadn't gone away but I remembered the healing stone.

"I can use the healing stone thing when we get on land. Oh, wait, never mind I can't get rid of this tail!" I growled.

"Only at sunset but that would be permanent," Lagoona frowned.

"I could just try to make a new one," I suggested.

"I don't think it would work considering your bleeding insanely out your back!" Shai yelled.

A

"Maybe Lagoona could!" I smiled.

"Maybe," Orabel sighed.

"Oh, sorry Orabel, you could try too if you wanted," I comforted.

"Are we still going to try to get your mom?" She asked.

"We can try," I said. And with that we started swimming to the beach where it had all started.
