ΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞ
Bella, Cleo, Emma and Rikki were all at Mako, now that they were mermaids again they hung out a lot at the moon pool or went for swims together.
"We still need a story," Rikki said breaking the silence.
"Something they'll believe," Cleo thought aloud.
"What a psychotic pixie took us captive because mermaids tried to kill us isn't believable?" Bella asked sarcastically.
"Why don't we say we got lost?" Rikki suggested.
*beep* *beep*
Emma leaned over and checked he phone.
"No," Emma said staring at her text from her mum.
"What?" Cleo asked.
"Quick we have to go," Emma began, "the police have visited all our places, we need to make a statement to them-now."
The girls quickly swam back to the shore making sure no one saw them getting out and drying before they went their separate ways.
ΨΨΨ-Bella
"Isabella Hartley," The police officer said sitting down in the chair opposite to Bella.
"Ok so, your getting filmed we have your permission and everything you say will be scrutinised blah blah blah let's get on with it."
Bella suddenly felt weird. She wanted to move, but her body wasn't co operating.
"What caused the fire in Emma Gilbert's house where you and your friends were trapped?"
"A gas leak," Bella responded, but they weren't her words.
"We smelt no gas nor were alerted about any leak."
"Well that's your problem, but that's what happened," again Bella didn't say that, but the words came out her mouth.
"Fierce," the officer said, "but Ms Hartley do not give me attitude-I can taser you."
Bella wanted to say it wasn't her, but her mouth wasn't listening to her mind.
"Now," the police man restarted, "how did you and your friends escape the fire?"
"We jumped out Emma's window," Bella's mouth quickly said.
"A two story building, you just jumped?"
"Yes," NO! Bella wanted to scream, but her mouth just kept going.
The police man wrote on his notepad, making sure to cover up what he had written.
"The week following the fire. Where did you and your friends go?"
"I can't remember anything after us jumping," Bella said, once again not what she intended.
The officer wrote down some more things then let her go.
As Bella walked out the doors with her parents she looked above her and saw Gabbi.
"Good job in there," Gabbi said then flew off.
"Good job?" Bella thought.
Bella knew exactly why she said that. She's being controlled.
ΨΨΨ-Marie
"Well, she awakes," Gabbi said, walking towards a chained up Marie.
"Well I've already got all I want sister, the real question is where is our father?"
"He was shunned," Marie started, "I have no idea where he is-you won't be able to find him."
"Thing is, I now have full control of my tail-and your powers. It'll should be quite easy to find him."
"Why?" Marie asked.
"You know why, just think back to when we were kids. Once you do, it'll all come rushing back."
ΨΨΨ-Emma
Emma got a text.
"Meet at my house, important news!-Bella"
Emma groaned and got up. She didn't want to go, but she thought she should anyways.
Once she got to Bella's she knocked on her houses white stone door. Bella answered and ushered her upstairs where Cleo and Rikki were already waiting.
"So what's this news?" Cleo asked eager.
"Gabbi," Bella began, "she is somehow controlling me. She is making do and say what she wants, she was manipulating me during my questioning."
"What that's crazy!" Cleo said.
"What did she make you say?" Rikki asked, "did everyone else's go well?"
Emma felt bad. Gabbi had tricked her and she had fell for it. Betraying one her best friends-who couldn't do anything because she was being controlled.
"Emma?" Bella said, breaking Emma out of her thought.
"Hmm?" Emma responded.
"What'd you say to the police?" Bella asked.
"Oh, um nothing really I just said that the fumes of the fire made us pass out and I can't remember."
"So Bella's the only one with a story," Cleo said.
"What'd you and Rikki say?" Emma asked.
"Pretty much same thing as you," Cleo said, "and Rikki was just...difficult."
The girls laughed at the predictability of Rikki's actions, then Bella stopped it.
"If I'm the only one with a story, you all have to learn it-and fast."
ΨΨΨ-Alison
"Sit tempestate pluviae veniant, purgare me dolor. Sit tempestate pluviae veniant, purgare me dolor. Sit tempestate pluviae veniant, purgare me dolor."
Alison was angry with Gabbi, she wasn't thinking straight and she was loosing her mind. Alison started to chant some more.
"Sit tempestate pluviae veniant, purgare me dolor."
This mermaid spell she was starting was going to create a storm. A storm of all storms.
"I will destroy her my queen, this is for you," Alison said, "Sit tempestate pluviae veniant, purgare me dolor!"
ΨΨΨ
BOOM!
"What's that?" Cleo said rushing to the window.
"Look at those clouds," Bella said.
"There was no storm on the radar," Emma said.
"That's a monster of a storm," Rikki said.
"Let's go outside-this isn't normal," Emma said, and the girls followed behind her.
"The beach-look!" Bella said pointing to the dark clouds rolling from the ocean.
"Quick let's go!" Cleo said as the girls jumped into the water and swam to the beach.
ΨΨΨ- Gabbi
"What the hell?!" Gabbi said looking at the impending storm.
Gabbi flew to where she saw the storm was coming from, the beach.
"Those mermaids," Gabbi said through gritted teeth.
ΨΨΨ-Alison
Alison swam toward the surface, longing to see what chaos her storm was bringing.
Technically this was illegal, but Alison would not sit back without helping her queen.
Before she broke the surface, she saw four mermaids swimming towards her, either guards to take her away or those hybrids. Alison didn't wait around to see, she swam towards the shore.
