Two Worlds

Chapter 12

As the three merpeople: Tyler, Roxy, and Danny was swimming toward the clan they had to stop for a shark was there just swimming. "And you thought she-" "Enough lets keep going. Wait what are you doing, Roxy?!" "He said he'll help get us where we're going." "If you're sure, come on Tyler." Danny and Tyler held the shark's dorsal fin. "Um-" "He's a basking shark... not aggressive and... harmless to us." "I know, like I said save your strength." After thirty minutes of swimming Erika and Audrey appeared. "Erika told me what she saw. You both are-" "Audrey" "Come on then, Erika go get her necklace if you please." "Isn't she wearing it?" "No, that's Daniel's. Her necklace should be in the same place from last time. Right Roxy?" "Under mattress." "Your mattress, right?" Roxy nodded, Erika swam away as fast as possible, and the others went back to swimming towards Audrey's clan. Once they all arrived at the clan Audrey requested for Irma. "Can you tell the shark to hold on for a while, that we'll send a few hunters out to look for food for him." Irma said what Audrey wanted and the shark replied, Irma then told what the shark was saying, "thank you. He'll accept your request for some food, that the girl Roxy said if he needs something let her know." "Tell him that Roxy is unwell and-" "I got the necklace!" "Good. Irma tell him we'll help for now." "Will do." "How is having the necklace going to help?" Asked Erika. "I'm going to make an antidote to the anemone poison, give it to her, and then make a small change to her necklace which will sink into her body making her mermaid transformation permit for a time." "So she'll still be able turn back into a human later?" "Yes but if she wears a necklace like us. Now I must get to work." Audrey left for a moment doing what she said earlier. Erika as much as she wanted to argue with Danny and Tyler didn't and stayed quiet being next to her friend, Roxy. "How is Roxy doing?" Erika spoke up saying "I think she's alright." Audrey came forward, carefully examine Roxy: her eyes, heartbeat, and the cut. "Everything is ready: the antidote and the small added ingredient change to her necklace. As for getting well it all depends on her." "How does it depend on Roxy?" Erika asked as Danny and Tyler just looked at Audrey for the replied answer. "How her body responds to it all. First we must go to the surface so we can switch the necklaces, she'll turn human for a moment. In that moment who knows how her body will react especially is she holds her breath if we do it down here or above... Lets go, time is wasting." Everyone nodded their heads and helped got Roxy to the surface to give her the antidote and switch the necklaces. Everyone reached the surface, Erika helped Audrey get the antidote in Roxy as well as switch the necklace. Though Roxy got the antidote and her necklace was on and suck into her skin Roxy laid still with her eyes close. "We're we to late?" Audrey checked Roxy's heartbeat and said "no. She's fine, it might take a few days for Roxy to wake up." "Then will it be fine if I take Roxy back to my home. She'll be safe, taken care of, and watched over." "Yes, take Roxy back with you, I'll come a few days after she wakes up. Irma will go with you to help you talk with the shark if he's willing to help Roxy get to your clan." "Okay. Irma do you mind talking to the shark to see if he'll help us?" "Of course." Irma swam to the awaiting basking shark, started talking to it, and after talking to it came back to Audrey and Erika with happy news. The three mermaids and shark left immediately to Erika's home, while Audrey's clan swam back home. Thankfully nothing stopped Irma, Erika, and the shark getting Roxy to Erika's clan. They all arrived at Erika's home by evening, while they just arrived Audrey was discussing with both Tyler and Daniel about Roxy. When Erika's clan saw them they came forward with curious looks, making a small crowd until the elders came telling everyone to disperse. The elders looked at Erika for an explanation. "Roxy got hurt earlier she's good now, just waiting for her to wake up. This is Irma she was helping me communicate with the shark." "Irma welcome, stay if you like. Erika take Roxy to the sleeping chambers; we'll keep an eye on her." Erika took Roxy to the sleeping chambers, Irma decided to stay so Dacia gave a tour, Rasia chatted with the shark to find out anything she could, Mira went to the sleeping chambers to find out what happened to Roxy in depth.
