Ally swung her feet around in the beautiful lake. Her body moving farther off of the freezing bridge that was underneath her. She slipped down gently into the colorful lake feeling the coldness in her body. It was a winter cold day out with a strongwind roaring in her ears. Her clothes plastered to her cold body and her blonde hair was drenched with dirty water. She felt careless and free. She layed on her back just floating in the water feeling lifeless. She felt like a ghost feeling as a nobody.
Sarah sat against a tree drawling the lake when she then saw a girl she had not meet yet get in. *wonder who she is.*
Sarah wanting to find out left all her supplies there and walked to the edge of the lake and hollered at her. "Hi there I'm Sarah I don't believe we meet."
Ally jerked her head wakeing up from her fantasy of quietness. She looked at Shara quizically," Uh...hi Shara my my name is Ally," she said shivering. She felt a sudden harsh breeze blow at her wet cold face.
Sarah then laughed. "If you stay in there much longer your going to get sick."
Sarah was not telling her to get out. She was just saying what would happen if she did not. Sarah seeing this as a time make her way back to the tree and drawl again.
Ally smiled at Shara, she knew she was right but she didnt want to escape this place for anything...at least not yet. Ally took in a deep breath and dived deeper into the freezing cold water, feeling the icy water against her flesh. She opened her bright green eyes seeing the fishes waddle around moving their little fins fastly. she was beginning to run out of breath so she swam towards the surface of the water. She was so close to getting oxygen when something got a hold of her foot. She moved frantically trying to get free. She opened her eyes wider noticing the thing that got a hold of her foot was a mermaid. The mermaid had a shiny green tail but it wasnt a girl this one was a guy with manly strong shoulders and shaggy brown hair. The mermaid moved his arms up and down as if motioning something to her. She suddenly became dazed and could no longer see, her breathing was getting shorter and shorter, and her brain was clouded. She couldnt see, breath, hear, or even think. This may become a problem.
Sarah seeing Ally not come up for air she decided she might want to see what was matter. Sarah then stood up and ran to the lake taking of her robe in the process and dove in. Sarah at frist was having problems because of it being so cold. After awhile it started to adjust and Sarah was able to beathe. She could sence that is was one of the mermaids doing it so she kept swimming down deeper into the waters. She then saw it one of the mermaid with a girl and she keep swimming till she had a hold of Allys hand she was then pulling her wand out and thinking which spell to do with the other.
Molly swore she had heard voices. Sowre to her life.... but saw no one..... she looked around and decided to do a simple spell. "Showith voices" she waved her wand and a screen apeared... it showed ally and sarah under water. She saw that sarah was pulling ally. She dropped her wand and took off her bag and dove in. She put an air bubble around her head... and grabbed allys other hand helping sarah. She also put and air buttble around allys head.
Allys body moved motionless in the wavering water. She felt cold and winced in pain when she felt the pulling between her arms and her foot.
The guy mermaid didnt seem to want to let go of Ally. He held onto her as if dear life. He said in a very low voice to Molly and Shara,"Let go we us mermaids need her for a special destination to save our kind." He jerked Ally fastly makeing allys hair float in every direction..sprawling our beautifully. Allys body moved but not very far she could still feel the grip of the mermaid but she couldnt feel her top half. Her body was becoming numb.
"I will not let you take an innocent girl." Sarah said as she then took her wand and sent a spell at it. She was going to keep fighting it till she won even she she ran out of breathe. She knew that Ally did nothing wrong but wanting to go swimming.
The mermaid flinched in pain as the spell hit him.He let go of Ally fastly and screamed in a high pitched voice,"No i need her!!"
Allys body was now floating in the middle of the deep cold water. Her body becoming lighter and ligher as the time went by. Ally was so deep into a concusion that it seemed pratically impossible to get her out of it. Her blonde hair was the only part of her body that was actually moving. Her light pink lips, her pale arms, her long legs, and her closed eyes were motionless. She looked like a doll with her body so stiff.
Sarah knew that Ally would not last much longer. "Molly get her out of here. I will take care of the mermaid."
Sarah then swam to where she was between Ally and him. She was not going to let him by she was shooting spells at him one after another trying to give Molly time. She hoped that it would be enough she was not sure how she would help her if not.
"Your not taking her." Sarah said to the mermaid as she contiuned to shoot spells at her.
Molly was getting furrious. She let go of ally and sent sarha this mesage. Let me get the mermaid take ally she put an air bubble around sarah. And swam downard. She tackled the mermaild (can you do that in the water). When he didn't let go she stabbed her wand in his arm. Forcing him to let go. She waved her wand sendinghim downard. She followed him and grabbed his arm. Holding her down long enough to keep her from getting ally before she got to the surgace.
Jessie lept from a tree and dove smoothly into the cold water. She saw the scene before her. Sarah and Molly were shooting spells at a mermaid and Ally was floating limply in the water. Jessie threw Ally's arm across her shoulders, and wrapped her arm around Ally's waist. She surged upward, using her element (Energy) to lift them out of the water and place the gently on the shore. Jessie removed the air bubble, and began using C.P.R. on Ally. She checked to she if Ally was breathing.
Sarah saw what Jessie did and sent Molly a message. *Come on leave it alone. I was only shooting spells so that we could get Ally out so come on.*
Sarah then started to swim back up to the shore. Once up there she ran to Ally side and looked at Jessie. "Thanks Molly does not listen some times. So is she okay."
Molly popped up from the water. "sorry' she sighed. "Step back I know an air spell for breathing." she waved her wand and said "hetenabreathitha." a burst or air went through ally making her body bounce on the ground. She leaned her ear in. "She's breathing but not verry steady."
*Hang on, just give her a second* Jessie said. *I've seen that used before, and after they've been unconscious for this long it takes a while for them to be revived.* Jessie waited by Ally's side, hoping that she would wake up.
Ally felt a sudden surge of life come upon her. Her heart was beating and her body was trembling. She opened her eyes into slits, blinded by the suns rays. She coughed nonstop trying to get air through her flooded lungs. Water was coughed out eventually and she could breath normally. Ally opened her eyes wider to see where she was at. She noticed shadows looking down at her and knew now that she was safe. Her nerves started to kick in and she could feel the goosbumps on her trembling cold body. She said in a trembling scratchy voice,"Thanks." Ally leaned forward and wrapped her cold skinny white arms around her shaking body, feeling her cold flesh against her body.
Sarah then moved the others out of the way. "Here." Sarah then gave ally her robe. Sarha then used her elements to start a small fire for them all to sit by she knew that she was cold but Ally needed to get warm the fastest.
Sarah sat there watching her making sure it did not get worse. She then decided to speak again. "You okay."
Ally wrapped the robe tightly around her shivering body. She moved closer to the fire feeling the heat from it warming her pale face. Ally looked at the fire for a second seeing the sparks move and the fire wave in the direction of the wind. Ally shifted as Shara spoke. Ally looked at her and said in a small voice,"Im fine." She didnt want anyone to feel bad for her even though she was still freezing cold like ice.
Sarah smiled at her. She was asking becuse she would be there to help if the girl got sick.
"I was only asking because I was going to make the fire bigger if you were still freezeing. I mean I can do that."
Ally looked around trying to see if the mermaid was still looking for her. She looked directly at the glittering mass of water and saw a glance of a scaley green tail flip slightly out of the blue water. She flinched slightly at the water. For some reason she felt as if the mermaid was trying to help her but she didnt know why or how. Part of her wanted to dive back into that big amount of water and the other half wanted to stay as far away as she could. But her curiosity took over. She turned to face Shara and said in a slightly determined voice,"Im going back in there," she pointed in the direction of the water.
*What!?* Said Jessie. *Are you kidding??* And then when she saw that Ally wasn't kidding she said *Well... you need to warm up first, or you'll freeze... and then when you do go... I'm coming with you.*
Sarah looked at the both of them like they were crazy then she smiled. She was not going to stop them.
"Fine you can go but Jessie is right. You have to warm up and she has to go with you." Sarah then looked at Jessie. *If something happens you then have to send me a message*
Sarah sent that with her mind and smiled.
Ally looked up at Jessie with a serious face,"Fine but i dont want you to hurt him,k?" Ally got up and took out her wet wand out of her wet saggy pants and used it as a blow drier. Once dry she got up to her feet and moved closer to the bridge. She was nervous but excited about this journey. She pointed her toes and put one foot softly on the wet hard wood bridge. She moved her other foot until her whole body was on the bridge....nothing happened. Ally then moved more and more to the end of the slicky bridge and looked down at her reflection. She smiled at herself feeling more confident and with one slick glance she jumped into the lake shifting her weight.
Jessie was not expecting for Ally to jump in, so she quickly ran over to the dock, and dove in, putting an air bubble around her head, and then she swam deeper and saw Ally and put one around her head too. ~What now... I don't see the mermaid~ Jessie thought to Ally.
Ally swished her feet back and fourth swimming. Well maybe we should swim deeper, he may just be hideingAlly thought to Jessie. So she did...she swam down until she reached the green seaweed moving swiftly in different directions and then she saw him. The man mermaid was hiding deeply into the seaweed looking scared. He swung his brown shaggy hair and turned around not facing ally as if saying hes not going to talk to her. She turned around to make sure Jessie was still behind her and was thankfully right by her. Okay we've found him now lets get some answers out of himshe thought to Jessie.
Cody was walking around when he noticed Sarah looking at the lake intentily. He walked up to her and asked,"What are you looking at?" He couldnt see anything at all in the water.
"Nothing I'm just waiting for Jessie and Ally to come back. If they need my help I will go." Sarah then smiled as she looked at him.
~OK~ Jessie thought to Ally.
~Sarah... we're alright down here, but we found him... any ideas on how to approach him?~Jessie thought to Sarah.
*Well you don't want to go fast and you don't want to scare him. So I would ask him what he wants and then go from there. I mean tell him you want to help him.* Sarah sent back she was not sure what to do though.
*I mean that what I would do though.*
~OK thanks~ Jessie thought to Sarah. *Excuse me?* Jessie said. *We want to help you, but we need to know what you want.*
Ally couldnt help but roll her eyes at Sarahs idea oh how to aproach a mermaid. The way personally that Ally would of done was to at least come up with a better plan than that. Ally cleared her mind and said in a soft voice swimming rather close to the mermaid,"If you could just tell us why you need...well me even though nobody wants me because im worthless and am pratically the worse at spells and saving those who need to be saved and...." After Ally had finished rambleing on the man mermaid waved his scaley green tail and moved closer to Ally face to face, eye to eye and said with a sad glisten of horror,"I shall never see this world again for it will not become my life anymore and my fish friends will not be here in the future for you will not help save all of those from the enchanted lake and we shall all die of suffer within blood and death," he said with his very low voice.

"Nothing I'm just waiting for Jessie and Ally to come back. If they need my help I will go." Sarah then smiled as she looked at him.
Cody looked at Shara like she was crazy,"Whwhat their in that water? What are they doing," he asked frantically. He stared back down at the sea trying to spot anyone.
Jessie stared at the mermaid. *I don't understand.... what do you mean?* She said confused.
Ally looked at the mermaid in total confusion,"I..im totally lost. What do you mean by suffer in blood?" She looked into the mermaids sorrowful eyes and knew that she had to do something to help him.
The man mermaid looked back at Ally knowing exactly what she is thinking. He said in a low voice,"I dont really know how to say this but u,Ally shall stay here for a while. We need you to help us recounquer what used to be ours...i mean you will have to do something very challenging."
Cody looked impatiently down at the lake. "I...I cant take it any longer. I have to see if they are all right!" Cody took off his shirt and ran onto the bridge into the cold lake. He put a bubble around his mouth with his wand and swam deeper and deeper into the water until he noticed two people in the water with a man mermaid next to them. He didnt really know how to approach them so he hid behind a big bundle of seaweed just to make sure nothing bad happened.
Ally heard bubbles rising and knew someone was near her but when she turned around she saw nothing.Huh thats odd, she thought to herself. She went back to the man mermaid still thinking about how sorrowful he looked." Listen i still dont get what i have to do to help you... can you tell me like now before something bad happens," she asked.
The man mermaid looked into the big bundle of seaweed noticing cody but didnt say anything about him. "You are the one the clan of mermairds have chosen. We want you to kill the beast that lives here. Theres a octapuse that has been killing my kind. It used to be sweet and loveing nature until You know who had put a spell on him to turn him evil. You will have to kill the octapuse and soon," he said with his usual low voice."Oh and also there is someone behind the bundle of seaweed over there," he said pointing towards behind Ally in which there was seaweed wavering back and fourth with a little bit of someones skin showing. She moved towards the seaweed and swam slowly towards the person and went behind it sneakly. She looked startled as she saw cody looking at her with his eyes worriedly. "Wh what are you doing here," she asked suspiciously.
Cody looked back at her and said in a shooken voice,"I I was just worried about you and Jessie thats all. I didnt mean to make you mad im sorry i will leave now then." Cody turned his back on ally and swam slowly back up towards the surface of the water.
*But why Ally?* Jessie asked ignoring Cody, and trying to understand more of what the merman was saying. *Does she have to do it alone?*
Sarah not sure what was going on. *Jessie is everything okay. I mean do I need to go down there.* Sarah normally was able to work great with the mermaids.
~No, no everything is fine, he's being very kind and gracious!~ Jessie thought to Sarah.
"okay I mean I can come down there that not a problem." Sarah thought back.
~There's no need for you to do that Sarah, and believe me if we need anything you'll be the first to know!~Jessie thought to Sarah.
Ally turned away from Cody as if he wasnt even there and tried to get back on what she was supposed to be doing. She turned to Jessie," I have to help them though." and she sent a message to Sarah also ,*We are all right. nothing to worry about.*
The mermaid swam closer to Ally and said with his normal low voice," Oh but there is something to worry about," he said as if he had read Allys mind. "Great danger is ahead and i will warn you, you may not be able to come back...alive. Im sorry i have to put this on your shoulders so late, i would of told you sooner if i had a way but all i have is fins, nothing more or less," he said.
(yeah thanks blocking me out...i feel so loved)
Cody listened intently and realized that he could loose ally. He asked the mermaid in a serious voice," Wait your saying she could?"
(haha its part of my job...)
Ally looked as the mermaid replied to Codys question which had an obvious answer to. Ther mermaid wagged his long scally tail annoyance,"Yes she may die but us mermaids will help protect her," he then said under his breath,"unless they get killed."
Cody looked down at the sandy bottom of the sea. He looked like a little kid when the kid had just realized that there was no santa clause,"Oh...i see," he said in a sad voice. He didnt want to loose his only best friend.
"Hey guys what's up....hey cool a mermaid?" He bent ready to touch the mermaid but the mermaid flinched away from his hand. "What happened...is this a funeral?" He said ignoring the mermaid now and seeing everyone's sad faces.
(Ok we're in the middle of something deep under water, so I'll just ignore that (no offense, but you should be on land because this is gonna get really intense.))
*Ally, I know you have to do this, but I won't let you go alone! Besides, from what I've heard, they need all the help they can get.* Jessie said before turning to the mermaid *What is it exactly that you need us to do?*
Ally said in a stern voice," No you are staying, im the only one going. I might die but it doesnt mean that everyone else will because they went after me. i dont want me to be the reason everyone else got injured or even dead." Then she turned fastly back towards the mermaid, flipping her long hair as it sprawled out," Now what am i handleing with and what must i specifically do?" She was beginning to panic and the only way to cover it was to become mad and unagreeable.
The mermaid looked at Ally with concerned eyes," I think you might want to bring them. This that you are dealing with is way bigger then you expect. It can ripp your eyes out as its killing another with its other nine legs. You might think by the way it sounds that its an octapuse with just extra two legs, but it was born to kill. and the only thing you and your little friends can do is use your powers and your strength to kill it. Theres one spot where you can kill it but you have to have such a powerful force to defeat it. Its under the arms where it squirts its harmful and posionous red ink out. It you get squirt by that ink you will die immidiatly. The horrible things flesh is a dark black and it has one huge eye that is a deep bloodshot red. It can see in the dark and from faraway places. The only way to hide from it is from enormous rocks which wont be a problem from where you are going, going to kill him." the mermaid said without taking one breath.
((wow thats flippin long!!))
Cody smiled with gratitude as he heard what the merman said about Ally should bring her friends with. Then he looked serious,"I am going with her."
*Ally the merman is right. You need all of us.* Jessie said. ~Sarah. There's nothing wrong, but I need you and whoever else is up there to come down now. And bring your wands.~ *Sarah and everyone should be on their way now. So where is this monster?~
((okay then...then can I join this post?))
((yeah im pretty sure u can))
((Yeah go ahead!! No one's stopping you!))
Ally looked away, trying not to give in. She had to admit, she did need them. She cracked,"Fine...but i want you guys to be careful." She looked towards the Merman again,"Now where is this place anyways?"
The merman pointed towards the west of the lake where there was no light to spot anything and the deep water looked like it was a dark black whole. "Its right there but you and your friends will need guidance, now go gather your little friends up there and bring them down here so we can go and slay that monster." The mermans eyes looked eager to get ready and fight.
*Alright, they should be here soon, but I'll go and make sure.* Jessie said, kicking strongly to the surface. She came up and screamed *Hurry up you guys!!! We don't have all day!!*
