I tried to touch the water again and it froze. Something was happening and it wasn't good at all. My anger level increased, I needed to see Kai, he would help me. I snuck out of the hotel and went to the beach, running so fast. I didn't go to the side where I had left Mr. Cedric because he might still be there. I stood close to the water but didn't dare touch it. I summoned Kai and in a minute he was there, no matter how far he was, mermaids are the fastest swimmers in the sea.
" Something's happening to me, Kai... I don't know how but I froze the water in my room... I'm really scared... I don't know how I did it" I spoke quickly with a tense voice. I started walking toward him but he jerked away.
"Don't come near, don't even touch the water... please don't, let me come to you.." he said and started swimming out of the water.
"What why?.." I was more confused.
"You are angry, right? You can't control your anger... just let me come to you..." I was boiling and I was struggling to retain myself.
"Please... Stay still okay?" he said and I nodded. I watched him as he struggled to get out of the water, he was a witch, right? He could get off the water and have clothes on him but still, it was a painful process, being able to stand on two legs like humans, they were weak. I watched as he stumbled on the ground once he stepped on the dry land. I tried to walk towards him but with his hand, he signaled me to stop.
"I can do it okay? Don't worry I'm fine, yeah I'm good..." he said and I just stood there, not able to help, just watching as he struggled to get up. From his facial expressions, you could see that it was painful but he still was doing it. After a few struggles, he was able to stand on his feet. He looked so happy that he was able to do it. The only problem now was taking a step forward.
"You sure you can do it?" I asked and he nodded. Just a few glances at him and I knew we were gonna be there for the whole night. I was just a few steps away from him but he hadn't even taken the first step yet. He wasn't able to move his leg but he was trying. I sat down and waited, waited until he took the first step.
"I've done it, see..." he said happily and I looked at him, he then took the second step and then the third. They weren't big steps because reaching to where I was it would take around five steps but watching him, how he was walking it would take almost twenty steps, the step he was making was so small, just like me the first time. But he was getting somewhere right? After almost an hour he was where I was, and he then sat down. He was grinning in pain and I examined his feet.
"They are bleeding..." I said looking at them. I could understand how he was feeling, just the same way as I was feeling before.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine..." he said smiling at me but his eyes said otherwise. Even if there were no tears I could tell his struggle with the pain.
"You've been able to calm down right? Tell me what happened. Did someone do somegjjhg to you?" he asked and I was surprised that he had pushed away the fact that his legs and feet were in pain just to ask why I'm upset.
"I... I... I froze the water on my tap...." I said and my hands began shaking, uncontrollably. The fingers were turning pale and they were so cold that I felt them itch. As if reading my mind, he slowly help my hands and slowly they were beginning to stop shaking. I was looking at him but his eyes were on my hands.
"I don't wanna read your mind... Just tell me what happened..." he said wavering his eyes to look at me now. " I just think that you need your privacy.... that's why I don't wanna do that," he said because he might have noticed how confused I looked.
"Ummh... Someone kissed me... I know it's wrong I shouldn't have let him do that but it happened so fast... Jennie dared me to do it and I thought it was a game but after I let him kiss me I got upset... I'm so mad, mad at myself and mad at him too... I feel bad I feel like I should hit myself I feel like I can drown myself, I feel like I should cut my tongue out I feel disgusted..." My words were painful because that is what I felt. It felt like I wanted to do something bad, something just to make it up for the fact that I had just kissed a human. I don't even want to think about it.
"You're so bitter with the humans.... but that will do you more harm than good, it's not time yet... just one mistake and you reveal who you are... One more mistake and you freeze everything you need to learn how to control your anger okay? When you are upset just think about something else that will release the anger calmly, you can always find me okay? ... and... I don't think working at the hotel suits you anymore... You have to be on gloves almost every time or can you work with gloves on?" He asked looking at me He can't just say that as if it's easy to find another job.
"No... I have to wash the dishes serve customers and do other things...Cant work with gloves on and everyone will be curious why I have them...How will I even survive out here without a job?" I asked and he looked at me.
"Give me until tomorrow I'll find you something better to do... you won't have to touch the water... How about modeling? A lot of models are always in gloves, so if you become a model you can earn a lot of money and also you'll have your gloves on so if you are angry you won't freeze anything" he looked so happy while saying this. So he is going to make me a model just because I have to be in gloves?
"Yeah, that's a good idea... a model it's settled... want a hug? I'm fully recovered now" he said getting up and pulling me along with him. He then hugged me.
" Let's call it the start of our empire now..." although I didn't understand what he meant by that, I loved the hug.
