Chapter 6
- Ava's POV
- "What's going on in your mind?"Sam said as he snaps his finger
- "I thought you were asleep," I said and he smiled
- "I was, but it's morning already"
- "Oh, it's morning. Everyone, follow me to the storage room" I chuckled and everyone obeyed.
- We reached the storage room and everyone gasped when they sighted the big container filled with water.
- "This would be our ocean for now," I said and they hailed happily.
- They pulled off their clothing and dashed into the water.
- I strode to Lucas's room and sighted Sam who was staring at Lucas.
- "Hello, dear. What are you doing here?" I asked
- "I came to check up on Lucas" He replied and I walked towards Lucas.
- I placed my palm on his forehead and I removed it instantly. I removed a thermometer from the drawer and placed it in his mouth. His body temperature was very hot.
- "Lucas, wake up," I said as I poured water in the jar on my hand and sprinkled it on his face
- "Why didn't you do what the big man said?" Sam questioned as he kept staring at Lucas
- "I can't leave everyone"
- "That is the only cure and the way to save everyone from calamity. I am sure Lucas will get well immediately you step into that villa and would be able to care for everyone" Sam whispered
- "That's true," I said to myself and became curious
- "How did you know?" I said
- "How did I know?" Sam asked and walked away
- "I will do this for you, Lucas," I said and had my bath before walking out of the apartment
- "Your majesty, where are you going to?" Jane asked as she glanced sideways
- "I want to go fishing" I lied as I tried to walk away until I felt an arm wrapped around mine
- "We can go fishing together, your majesty," She said and I unwrapped my arm
- "No, thanks. Stay with others, the three-eyed man is still out there" Jane nods and walked into the apartment.
- I ignited the car's engine and drove to Donald's villa.
- Every footstep I took closer to the villa reminds me of the words Don and Dyrus said to me. I came to this villa for my people and Lucas.
- I opened the door and bumped into a wall. I moved backward and came in gaze with green eyes
- "Sister-in-law, are you here to check up on me?"Dyrus asked
- "How are you feeling now?" I stammered
- "Sister-in-law my foot, you have the guts to place those filthy legs in this villa. Loser!" He folds his arm and frowned
- "Thanks for saving me, did you remember what happened after that monster pressed the red button?" I asked to verify if that scene was completely erased from his memory
- "Yeah, I remember. What are you going to do about it?" He said and I gasped. I shut the door behind and held his collar
- "Let's do this again, kiss me on the lips," I said and he flinched
- "What the heck, why would I kiss you?" He said and I released my hand from his collar
- "Are you shy? We can do it in your room" I whispered
- "You must be crazy" He rasped and walked away.
- The woman that was supporting me as Don's wife walked towards me
- "I have been waiting for you, dear. Come in" She smiled and told me to go to Don's room
- "This is the only way he gets to love you and I need an heir" She beamed.
- "She is Don and Dyrus mother" I muttered
- The only reason she is nice to me is that she needs an heir, but that would be impossible. I would never let him lay his hand on me.
- She held my arm as we strode to Don's room. She flung the door open as her grip on my arm loosened and I sighted Don on a dark-skinned lady.
- Pearls rolled down my chin as I remembered how Zach cheated on me. I used to love him until I found out he and Lisa's scheme
- "Mum, can you please get out?" Don rasped and I walked out of the room
- "Stop crying, everything will be alright," Mother-in-law said as she shut the door
- "I will be back," She said and walked away.
- I sat by the door and buried my head in between my legs as pearls rolled down instead of tears because I am a mermaid
- I felt a touch on my shoulder, I looked up and sighted Dyrus
- "What's wrong with you cunning fox?"
- "Have you ever been cheated on?" I sniffled
- "Oh, it's Don. You have to get used to that" He said and stretched a folded handkerchief to me. I grabbed it and used it to wipe the mucus that fell on my lips.
- "Thats is disgusting. Why did you let it drop on your lips." Dyrus said as he flinched.
- "I want to discuss something with you in your room" I stood up.
- "Alright," he said as he curled his lips.
- I strode to his room with the thought of how to kiss him and erase his memory about how he saw me turn into a mermaid.
- Dyrus is a jinn and I must hide the fact that I am a mermaid.
- I don't want my relationship with these jinns to leak to my people.
- "What do you want to say?"Dyrus asked as he snaps his finger.
- "How is your lover? Did you rescue his life? The guy was being overprotective" he continued as he waggle eyebrows.
- "Oh, you mean Max. He's not my lover, he was my shield..." I paused as I was about to expose my identity.
- "He is a close friend" I continued.
- "What else did you remember?"I asked as I moved closer to him.
- "Everything, I think," he said as he moved backward and I continued to move closer until his back hit the wall.
- I moved closer to him and brushed my lips over his trying to erase his memory.
- He tried to push me away then I grabbed his arms and push them against the wall. Mermaids are very strong and this resists Dyrus from pushing me away.
- "Dyrus do you have an idea of where that weirdo is?" a voice echoed beside the door.
- I turned around and sighted Don. Dyrus pushed me and sat on the bed breathing heavily.
- "What on earth is going on here?" Don gasped with a sour expression.
- "It's not what you think, brother," Dyrus yelled as he walked towards Don.
- Don walked away and Dyrus walked after him and shut the d behind him.
- "Damn! I was unable to erase his memory" I yelled as I threw my fist against the wall.
- I strode out of Dyrus's room and sighted Don and Dyrus arguing.
- Why is Don acting like he is interested in me? He had a fling with that dark-skinned woman and I did nothing about it.
- What the hell is wrong with him? I only kissed his twin brother.
- What if Don finds out Dyrus raped me before we got married?
- Don slapped Dyrus's face which made a tan-skinned man interfere.
- "That's enough! What is this drama about? "The man yelled as he walked towards us.
- "I can't believe you raised your hand at me because of that filthy thing you call your wife. If you love her, you would not spend your nuptial night with a harlot." Dyrus rasped as he placed his hand on his cheek.
- "Dad, I saw Don flirting with my newly married bride." Don rasped.
- I can't believe that the old man is his father.
- "Dyrus, don't you know it's a taboo in our family? There are ladies out there but you decided to flirt with your sister-in-law. You are a disgrace" The old man said in a husky voice.
- The old man faced me "You..." he stammers as I walked out of the house.
- I need to get rid of my anger in a nice place then I sighted a coffee shop nearby.
- I walked in and a female in a black hoodie bumped into me.
- "Sorry" I cooed. She walked through the wall leading to the three-eyed monster industry.
- I became curious and sneaked into the industry.
- The woman in the hoodie strode to the laboratory and started stealing some liquid substances.
- "Hey" A voice rasped as I flinched and hid beside a wall.
- It was the three-eyed monster, he walked towards the female.
- "Hey friend, long time no see." The female said as she unzipped her hoodie.
- "Sage, If not you have poisonous skin I would have hugged you."The three-eyed monsters giggled as he moved closer to her.
- "Yeah, I know, and thanks for the compliment." She cooed.
- "Why are you stealing from my industry? You should have asked for it."
- "Oh my gosh, I can't believe this. I had no idea this was yours. I need it for my experiment" She giggled as she grabbed more.
- "How about you join my team and we take down Ava and her troops?"
- "Hmm... that sounds like a plan. You would avenge your wife's death but what is my benefit?"
- "You get a lot of chemicals for free and you would have the chance to use your superpowers." The three-eyed monsters chuckled.
- "Did you see Lisa? I need to explain some things to her"
- "Oh, that white-skinned lady.
- I hypnotized her to fall in the river nearby, she nearly shot me." Sage heaved a sigh.
- "What? I have warned you to stop hypnotizing people.
- Lisa is very special to me, what if she drowns?"The three-eyed monsters yelled.
- "Oh, I think someone is in love"
- I turned around when I felt a touch on my shoulder. I sighted a weird plant in a jar filled with water clapping its mouth on my shoulder.
- I flinched and pushed the plant which made the jar tumble and clattered on the floor.
- I peeped and sighted the three-eyed monster placed his hands on his lips as he walks in my direction.
- I shook my fist ready to punch him in the face.
- A hand pulled me to a corner and I hit my fist on his face. He held my arms and I had a better view it was Dyrus.
- "Ouch, I was only trying to help you" Dyrus whispered.
- "Hush" I placed my hands on my lips and peeped.
- "What was that?" Sage asked the three-eyed monster.
- "Nevermind. Let me go save Lisa." The three-eyed monsters said as he walked out.
- "What are you doing here? You almost got killed" Dyrus whispered and held my shoulders tightly.
- "Do you think I am weak? I can take care of them."I said and sighted Sage walk out of the industry then I came out of my hiding spot.
- "Yes, you are just human. You are a weakling and I am a powerful Jinn." Dyrus boasts as he chins up.
- This means Dyrus did not remember me as a mermaid but a random lady that became his sister-in-law overnight.
- "Yeah, that's right" I agreed to try to hide my smile.
- "I wish I can just go after that monster and kill him," Dyrus said as he moved closer to a tank filled with water.
- "That monster can't be killed by anyone except the supreme leader of all-powerful beings can defeat him"
- "Arrgh" Dyrus yelled as he placed his hand on his head and fell on his knees.
- "Dyrus,what is going on?"
