The sea serpent went flying through the water, which had surprised me.
I stared at my fists in shock and Alistabella said, “A Nix has immaculate powers when under water.”
“Sweet!” I caught myself saying.
Through my peripheral I was able to see another come at me. This one seemed more buff than the others, so I wacked its face with my fin. It too went flying.
I watched Mason as he struggled with the third. I yelled out, “What’s wrong? Why are you not fighting back?”
“I am!” he yelled with a struggle. He continued on to say, “For some reason my strength weakened. Alistabella! I thought you said being a Nix makes you stronger.”
I swam over to him and grabbed the sea serpent by its tail and twirled fast to send it leaping out of the water, and land more than a hundred feet away.
Alistabella said with a smirk, “Oops! I forgot to mention that if you are, or will be, a Vampire then the Nix pill will weaken your strength.”
I looked her with my eyebrows scrunched and she said, “Sorry.”
I looked over at Olivia, Jack, and my Grandpa Brad, then saw them easily beat down the last two together. My grandpa seemed to be bottling up a lot of anger, because he overkilled the very last one of the two.
I watched the sea serpent fall down in the depths of the sea floor and asked my grandpa, “You okay over there?”
He grinned, “Yes I am. Vicious creatures like that, are part of Carolyn’s favorite and trainable monsters.”
A few minutes later we all decided it will not be safe to stay here any longer, and we need to keep moving. We swam as fast as we could to the land, and made it there in one piece.
I dragged myself to land, slowly leaving the crystal clear water, and watched as my fin began to glow. As the glow dissipated, my feet reappeared. I grimaced, at my toe nails because the finger nail paint had started to chip away.
I whispered to myself, “ I miss my pretty fin. ”
“I don’t,” Mason and Jack said at once. Jack continued to say, “I felt like a frou-frou poodle with that darn thing.”
My grandpa nodded in agreement. Olivia and I laughed at how they all feel emasculated. Alistabell continued to stay in the water, but she too laughed.
I looked at my grandpa and asked him, “How are you even alive? I watched you die!”
He sighed heavily, “I couldn’t stand Carolyn. I knew what she was up to. I knew the entire time. But, I did not want to leave you behind.”
I said, “Oh! What about the heart attack and machines and nurses?”
“All fake,” he said. He continued, “I faked the heart attack, because she wanted to clone me next. Like she did with your parents. I knew if I stayed alive, you would of never had left. I rigged the machines and paid the nurses.”
“You hurt me, when you died grandpa!”
“I know, and I am sorry. It was the only way to motivate you,” he sadly said.
“Motivate me to do what, exactly?” I asked.
“To save your parents. I told you, they are still alive,” he calmly said.
All of a sudden I hear Mason yell, “Ahhh!”
He clasped his hands over his ears, and fell to the ground. His face scrunched in pain. We surrounded him, not sure what he was yelling about. He kept asking, “Do you not hear that? How can you not hear that high pitch
