(Sharlene's POV)
We were captured.
Xian's back is also bleeding.
Why doesn't her wound heal when we're in the water??? The rest of us heal, but she doesn't.
She won't be able to teleport us now.
One of the black mermen is a chain user.
My eyes widened as he approached me and stared at me.
My eyes widened even more when he suddenly touched my cheek and kissed me.
I couldn't slap him because my hands were chained.
SHIT!!! He's trying to get information from me by doing this.
I blocked all my information so he wouldn't find out anything.
I bit his lip.
I could even taste his blood.
He touched his lip and backed away from me.
"Tss. I didn't get anything; she blocked her info," he said.
"They're not just anyone, should we finish them?" said the woman.
"I'll do it," said another woman with a sneer.
She approached Crimson and pulled out a sharp stone that looked like a knife.
I even saw Crimson secretly smirk.
"You can't kill me because I don't die," said Crimson.
I noticed the fear on the woman's face, but she forced herself to go on.
"WHAT THE?!!"
0________________0 was the look on their faces when the woman stabbed Crimson in the chest.
I saw pain in Crimson's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, probably unnoticed by them.
I had already removed my chains.
The three of us managed to remove our chains.
Blue was still weak.
We stood up, and Crimson removed the stone from his chest and threw it aside.
They stepped back.
Before they could swim away, there was an earthquake, which was Crimson's doing.
"How's that?!! I won't let you leave just like that," Crimson sneered.
CRUMBLINGGG
The earthquake continued.
A wall of earth rose behind them, preventing them from escaping.
And on either side, there were barriers, so the only way out was in front of us.
They looked around and turned pale when they saw they were cornered.
I raised my hand and controlled the body of the electric fish.
They looked at it and their eyes widened.
"Obey me," I said.
The electric fish swam to my side.
"We might die, but you'll go first," I said with a sneer.
"Kill them," I ordered the electric fish.
It nodded and attacked them.
"STOP!!!"
I stopped the electric fish.
I looked up and saw them there.
And it was Ayheno who shouted.
They were all together.
Bluperrin and the others swam towards us.
But it was strange, why did they seem angry with us??
They swam towards us.
Oh no, they were actually swimming towards the black mermen and mermaids.
"Are you okay?!! Did they hurt you?!!" Yedalyn asked.
Do they know each other???
"We're okay, Yeda," said the black woman.
"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!!"
I was shocked when Prince Aqden shouted at us.
"You almost killed our friend!!!! You have no mercy!!!" Prince Aqua shouted.
And now it's our fault...
"Wait, Prince Aqua, let's------"
The black woman couldn't finish her sentence.
"WE SHOULDN'T BE WORRYING ABOUT THEM!!!"
I backed away from Yura's shout.
Aren't they even going to ask what happened??
Dia and the others were looking down, unable to look at us, even Shantel.
"You should have at least tried to find out what really happened before blaming us," I said calmly.
"EVEN IF WE DON'T KNOW...IT'S OBVIOUS IT'S YOU!" Prince Aquazer shouted.
I thought these princes were kind, but they're just like the others.
I dismissed the electric fish.
We stayed quiet while they asked the black ones if they were okay.
BLAGGG!
0___0
Shit!!
I quickly swam to Xian's side when she collapsed to the ground.
"What's happening to her?" Crimson asked.
I looked at Xian's back.
I gasped when I saw the rocks embedded in her back.
"YCHESIA, HELP US!!" I shouted.
And we left the leafy maze.
We were now in an open area with a view of the city.
We laid Xian down.
"We need to remove the rocks before I can heal her," said Crimson.
"What happened to her?" I looked at Prince Aquazer.
I glared at him.
"Who do you think?? It's obviously them..." I said angrily.
We sat Xian up.
Crimson and I went behind her.
"Xian, can you handle this?" Crimson asked.
Xian just nodded.
"We're going to remove the rocks, okay?" I said.
Xian just nodded.
"Bluperrin, stay by Xian's side," I said.
"This will hurt a bit."
I said and removed two rocks.
"AAAHHH!"
Xian screamed.
I bit my lip.
We removed the remaining rocks one by one.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"STOP FOR NOW!!!"
We stopped and looked at Xian.
She was pale and sweating.
We've only removed half of the rocks.
"Xian, you need to endure this so Crimson can heal you," I said.
"I-I kn-know....j-just c-catch my breath," she said and breathed heavily.
I looked at them, who were clearly feeling pity.
I glared at the black merman who did this to Xian.
"It's your fault," I said, looking at him.
He looked at me and then at Xian.
"B-blue a-are you okay?" AL asked nervously.
"I-I'm o-okay," Xian replied, still breathing heavily.
"One more, Xian... just a few left," Crimson said.
Xian took a deep breath and nodded.
I positioned myself behind Xian.
"This will be quick," I said.
And I quickly removed the remaining rocks.
"AAAAHH!"
Xian screamed.
One last pain, and then it was over, so her back started bleeding.
Blue was weakened, but Bluperrin immediately supported her.
"It's your turn, Crimson," I said.
He healed Xian's back.
After a few hours, she was healed.
Xian sat up straight.
We stayed for a few minutes.
(Yura's POV)
"What did you do?" Knight asked.
"Why is Blue's back like that?" I asked.
"I did it... I smashed her against the rock wall," Darkiz said.
0______0
"WHAT?!!!" we shouted.
"Why did you do that?!!" Lantel asked.
"Tell us, who started this?" Prince Aqden asked seriously.
"It was us," they said softly.
"You?!! But why, Amedel?" AL asked.
"We thought they were bad and were going to destroy the city again," Visha explained.
We sighed deeply.
We blamed them immediately.
We were embarrassed by our behavior.
We were surprised when Blue swam towards Darkiz.
"Give me my bracelet," she said to Darkiz.
Darkiz pulled something out and placed it in Blue's hand.
"S-sorry," Darkiz said, not looking at Blue.
"Forgive and forget already," Blue said, surprising us.
Just like that.
Darkiz looked at her in shock.
"Here we go again... you're so quick to forgive, Xian.... why don't you punish him?!!" Sharlene said.
"Yeah, like turning him into an anchovy or a fish... anything to make him regret it," Crimson said.
Darkiz turned pale.
"Please don't," Darkiz said softly.
"Xian, turn this jerk into a fish!! Thief!" Yellow said, pointing at Poseide.
"Wait, I didn't steal anything from you!" Poseide said.
"What do you mean you didn't?!!! You stole a kiss from me!!!! Xian, turn him into a fish!!" Yellow shouted.
Our eyes widened, and we looked at Poseide.
"Hehehee! Sorry, peace to you, Ms. Goldie," Poseide said.
"Peace, peace your face.... Don't call me Goldie because my name is Yellow!!!" Yellow said.
"Make them a fish, Xian!" Yellow said.
"Tss. You really want to make me look bad, huh,,, powers shouldn't be used for bad things," Xian said.
We breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she would turn them into fish.
"Sorry for what we did....my name is Visha."
"I'm Amedel."
"Tedon, and my brother is Seron."
"Darkiz, and this is my cousin, Damin."
"Hehehee! I'm Poseide, Yellow."
"Tsk. As Xian said, forgive and forget... just call me Red."
"Wait, Xian is her name," Amedel said.
"If you don't want to face your worst punishment..don't call me by that name, Blue is enough," Blue said seriously.
"Only we can call her by her name," Yellow said.
"O-okay."
"Sorry for shouting at you," said Prince Aqden.
We just nodded.
"Come on, we'll show you around... we still have time," Shantel said with a smile.
(Crimson's POV)
They swam away, the three princes and Ace couldn't look at us, and Dia was swimming with her head down.
The three of us swam and arrived at the city.
Why are there so many flowers here???
We swam down.
They greeted the eight princes; there were also black mermen and mermaids here.
I stopped swimming and looked at the men giving flowers to the women.
I frowned as I watched them when suddenly a flower was in front of my face.
"It's Flower Day today... here, for you," Prince Aqden said with a smile.
"Flower Day??? That's why there are so many flowers being given, but why are only men giving them?" I asked, looking at the men giving flowers.
Prince Aqden took my hand and placed the flower there.
"Don't refuse my flower; many would want it, you know... and Flower Day is highly anticipated here because men give flowers to the women they want to," he said with a smile, looking at the flower exchange.
"Oh, what am I going to do with that?!!" I heard Yellow say.
So I turned to them.
