Chapter 12 - KNOW THE TRUTH

After telling Zack how I felt, I suddenly felt happy and didn't want this moment to ever end, Zack didn't feel like a stranger to me nor a boss instead he was like a friend a very close friend I didn't have.

I turned to find Zack kneeling on the ground he looked as if he was in pain I tried going close to him but he raised his hand stopping me midway.

" RUN, LUCY RUN " he screamed

" But why do I want to help you you're in pain and .... "

" JUST RUN " he screamed again and his hair suddenly became long

" ZACK" I screamed and he suddenly looked up and his eyes became silver he looked exactly like the ghost which normally hunts me

" Zack " I called with a soft tone thinking maybe he has been possessed but Instead he

he looked like someone hungry and thirsty, I was stuck between him and the sea, I stepped my feet in the water and it turned into ice,

Zack stepped closer and I summoned all the courage I had and ran into the water

it all became ice as I kept running on it.

Zack on the other gained speed and bounced on me I lost guard and fell to the floor when he came closer I could see he was struggling within himself and he didn't want to hurt me

he let go of me and backed me I stood up in fear trying to run but the ice suddenly melted and I fell into the sea

I couldn't swim and struggled to come to the surface but I began drowning

someone suddenly held my hand and in the next second, we appeared on land.

I kept coughing out water when I felt someone's hands around my waist

"I'm sorry hope you're okay "

" Zack please what's wrong "

I cupped his face with my hand but he refused to look into my eyes, he suddenly let go of me and jumped back into the sea

" Zack ZACK " I screamed and ran close to the water but he didn't come back

" he won't come out unless you go meet him " I heard a man's voice I turned around to find a man with dark hair looking at me if I had a brother maybe he would be the one cause he has so much resemblance with me but I don't have a brother or do I but

" am none of what you're thinking " he interrupted my taught

" and how I got here is none of your business, all you have to think of is saving that friend or lover of yours cause you're the only one that can save him "

" me but how "

" hmm you dont know who you are or what you are capable of so let me give you some advice

you were able to make the water become ice pushing your fear to one side now imagine what you would be able to do if you eradicate your fear "

he said and in a blink of an eye he was no longer their

" put my fears away," I said and charged, I took a deep breath and jumped into the sea a strong force suddenly pulled me from the place I was to the middle of the sea, I opened my eyes and everywhere was dark

I wasn't floating instead I could feel my feet touching the bottom of the sea and surprisingly I wasn't drowning

" Relax," I told myself and opened my mouth I took in deep breaths and started feeling light the only problem I had was I couldn't see anything

I figured that if I could do this then I could command light so I raised my hand and waved it

their was suddenly light but wasn't too bright to illuminate the way

" light move " I pointed toward the direction I was headed and everywhere became bright

" Zack " I called but got no response I kept on walking and suddenly started feeling someone's presence

" Zack " I called again but got no reply

a wind from nowhere suddenly encircled me I tried breaking out of it but it was just too strong

" Well well well who do we have here " I heard a females voice but couldn't find anyone around

" don't try to find me or escape cause I rule and dominate here

am the only one who controls the sea and determines who comes and leaves" she said

" but I can see that you're here in search of something or someone "

" please let go of me and am searching for Zack "

" ohh a male I love males; so who is he to you huh go on "

" he's my friend and ... "

" enough I don't have time for this let me find that male of yours "

something about what she said made me feel annoyed and her tone made me feel as if Zack is in deep trouble.

I tried breaking free from the wind cage but I couldn't

" you see when you push your fears to one side you were able to make the water ice now imagine what you can do if you eradicate that fear " the words of the strange man replayed in my ears

I closed my eyes and stretched my hand out trying to become one with the wind I felt the force of the wind become stronger and concentrated more

and at last, I was able to make a connection with the wind

I waved my hand and the wind stopped

" wind take me to your master" I instructed and the wind pulled me with full force. it suddenly stopped and I couldn't see anyone.

I only spotted Zack's shirt and got hold of it I turned to find Zack lying behind me I ran in his direction but there was something like an invisible shield blocking me from getting close to him.

" How did you break free I can say you're one tough lady that can risk everything for her friend or should I say, lover "

" show yourself if you have the guts " I screamed and water started gathering it formed the shape of a human but with a tail, after that, the water gathered suddenly acquired a human body but it had a fishtail

" you're a mermaid "

" what mermaid am a siren "

" s syren what's the difference and what do you want "

" I love males and I want him to my myself"

I didn't get why but her statement annoyed me and I clenched my fist

" don't think you can defeat me in my own territory tsk "

" ahh " I screamed in frustration and threw a water ball at her but she dough it, it was very easy for her to evade all my attacks and all here weren't easy ones

she suddenly got hold of me and her nails hurt me on my neck

" I'll have you for dinner and have your dear friend to myself"

on hearing this I lost control of myself

I held her too on her neck and we suddenly disappeared out of the water my hands were bringing out flames and she was screaming I still didn't let go

" w what St strong love," she said and turned Into dust

I closed my eyes and I was suddenly back under the water I held Zack and we both appeared in his room.

Appearing and disappearing was a new thing to me and everything which happened was too strange for my understanding, I sat beside Zack, and unknown to me I fell asleep.

I opened my eyes and saw myself in my room, I looked to make sure I was truly in my room and found Lucy lying beside my bed her head was on my hand while she sat on the floor

looking at her I could tell she wasn't comfortable. I sat up so I could help her up but she woke up

her eyes were swollen and there were nail scratches on her neck

she placed her hand on my forehead and turned around to leave

" Lucy" I called and she stopped in her track I could tell through her eyes that she wanted an answer to everything but those answers were what I didn't have

" I know you want answers ... "

" yes I want answers I want to know the truth and the reason the main reason we're here but you need to rest I'll go get you breakfast" she made her way for the door but suddenly fainted

" Lucy " I screamed and ran towards her, her body suddenly became pale and cold, I laid her on the bed and went to the bathroom to get a wet cloth which I placed on her head I couldn't explain what was going on
