Chapter 7

• Unknown POV
• "Lisa！" I yelled as I moved closer to the river bank.
• "Lisa, come back to your senses"I yelled as sighted Lisa moving closer to the river like a zombie.
• I moved closer to her to stop her but I bumped into some people.
• I looked around but lost contact with Lisa.
• I heard a noise beside me and I looked in the river.
• I sighted Lisa in the river and she made weird sounds as her cloths tore into shreads and her legs webbed together with green fins.
• I became shocked, I never knew Lisa was a mermaid all this while and we have been working together for the past five years.
• "I need to save her or else she might become a prey to humans or jinns." I said to myself and held my breath as I jumped in the river.
• It was difficult to swim and my legs didn't web to a tail.
• I did not turn to a merman because he elders of the ocean rejected and cursed me.
• I swam closer to Lisa who gnashed her teeth at my movements.
• Lisa raised her tail to stab me but I weaved it and tried carrying her.
• I had a view of how Lora was brutalily killed as I looked at my shadow in the river and a tears dropped from my third eye.
• I sat at the bottom of the river as my third eye made me weak and emotional.
• "Its you again." A voice echoed behind me.
• I turned around and saaighted the royal wizard, Nicole.
• "What do you want again？I warned you not you come to the ocean."Nicole said and chanted some spells that made my illusions vanish and I was able to breath.
• "Thanks Nicole." I gapsed.
• "I came back to the ocean to save my lover who got hypnotised and turned to a mermaid" I said
• "What's her name？"Nicole asked as he made his magical rod visible.
• "Lisa" I said
• "Lisa the daughter of elder Adish" he said as he stretch forth his rod and Lisa appeared unconciously, I carried her on my arms.
• "She would regain her conciousness after she returns to land" He said.
• "Nicole,I need your help for my revenge"
• "I know and I will help" he said and disappeared.
• I swam to the surface and got out of the river with Lisa.
• Lisa's fins disappeared, I pulled off my shirt and wrapped it around her nakedness.
• "Love...." Lisa whispers as she slowly regained her consciousness .
• I carried her on my arms and she wrapped her hands on my neck to a hut where she was able to put on my shirt which looks like a short gown on her.
• "Nice outfit, Lisa. " I made a short laugh.
• "I was fighting for my life there and you are mocking me"She said and buttoned the shirt.
• " I am sorry sweetheart. I was just trying to bring a smile on your face"
• She had a horrible look on her face and tried to walk out of me.
• "I never knew you were a mermaid and you did not tell me despite knowing how its been my goal to kill the elders in the ocean and their generations. How were you able to decieve me？"I said as I pulled her closer to me.
• "I am not an elder child" She exclaimed.
• "Elder Adish？"
• "You have no right to question me about my family." She folds her arms on her chest.
• "I am your boss and...."
• " You are not the boss of my life." She interrupted my statement which made me furious.
• "Shut up！"I twisted her arm behind her back.
• "You are hurting me" She winced.
• "I am so sorry, sweatheart." I said and embraced her.
• "I went to the royal wizard to give me a portion so I wont be recognised as a mermaid by my fellow being expecially my twin sister ,Ava" She sobs.
• "What？" I placed my hand on my mouth.
• "My father, elder Adish became king Triton after I was born. Ava followed me into my beautiful world and made it a nightmare. My parent hid my existence because its a taboo for the king to have twins. It means the ocean will be troubled until the whole fiamily dies. My parent dumped me on land and a fisherman raised me up. My biological mother visits like a stranger and gives the fishqer pearls to take care of me. Years later, before the fisher took her last breath she told me everything about my parent. I went to the ocean and saw my mother crowning Ava as the new leader. Ava was in my place with a big smile on her face and she gets everything she wants, Nicole advised me to fight for what I own. I went ro the fisher house expecting my mum but she never showed up. I am very sure my family did not care about me. I formed an army to destroy every mermaid."She explained.
• "You joined my team because you want to take revenge. I thought you love me."
• "Yes I did not until I found out about your lies. I cant be your wife until that ghost leaves." She said and sat on a wooden bench.
• "She would leave after we get married, I promise you" I said and placed my hand on hers.
• "Alright" She said and walked out of the hut. I walked after her.
• "Lets go home" I whispered and a smile brighened on her face.
• We strode out of the hut to the coffee shop and sighted Sage sipping wine.
• "Hmm.. nice save" Sage said
• "You almost killed me" Lisa said as she brought out a gun from her pocket and points it on Sage forehead.
• There was indistinct chattering as the people dashed out from the coffee shop.
• "Lisa, she is part of us now" I said as I grabbed a seat and moved towatds them.
• "Really？Is that all you got Lisa？"Sage scoffed as she held Lisa arm with her bare palm.
• "Oww" Lisa groaned in pain as she dropped her gun.
• "Sage, Stop that"I yelled as I kicked her hand.
• "Shit"Lisa fell on the floor and held her arm.
• I tore my pant and tied it on her arm.
• "You should have not done that" I whispered to Lisa.
• "She wants me dead" Lisa winced in pain.
• "You have to chop off that hand before the poison spreads" Sage said as she gave me a knife.
• Lisa stretched her hand with her eyes closed and blood glushed out asI cut off the infected arm.
• "Arrgh" Lisa cried out as she held her arm and fainted.
• I took her to the laboratory and patched an artifical hand on arm.
• "She would be fine" Sage chuckled.
• "Why do you touch her hand when you know we will have to amputate it？" I grabbed Sage collar.
• "It was self defence."
• "Whatever, just pray she gets better soon"
• "Ava was here and she was with a Jinn " Sage whispered.
• "How do you know that？" I asked as I furrowed my eyebrows.
• "I can smell her presence"
• "Wow, I love your powers." I exclaimed.
• "Thanks. Don't you love me？" Sage said as she moved closer to me which made me uncomfortable.
• I once loved Sage but I can't touch her because of her poisonous skin.
• "Do you know my poison can't infect you？ Come on,you are the three eyed monster, you can't be killed by a mere chamelon" Sage said and brushed her lips over mine.
• I pushed her away and yelled "I love Lisa only and she cant be replaced in my heart"
• "Blah blah, thats also what you said about Lora and you later chose Lisa. I want you to be mine, I don't care about your heart" Sage said as she caress her hand on my chin.
• "Sage, please." I pushed her hand.
• "Sweetheart.." Lisa winced as as she opens her eyes slowly.
• "Lets go home. Lia is waiting" I said and carried Lisa on my arms, she look weak.
• I drove home expecting Lia to come embrace me but she didn't.
• I strode to my room with Lisa on my arms and found no traces of Lia.
• "Lia, where are you？"I asked as I placed Lisa on the bed.
• I walked to my closet and to get some blankets for Lisa.
• "Boom！"A voice emerged from my closet as I opened it.
• "Alright, you got me" I chuckled as Lia got out from the closet.
• "Yeah, I did"She made a short laugh and I noticed her eyes changing colour every second.
• "Sage？"I furrowed my eyebrows as Sage shifts to her shape.
• "So sad, you thought I was Lia."Sage chuckled as I shrug my shoulders.
• Sage is capable of shifting to any shape but pretending to be Lia made me furious.
• I was exicted to tell Lia about her new mum but Sage ruined everything, I shouldn't have ask her to join my team.
• "Where is Lia？" I asked as I balled my fist.
• "Chill, she will be here in a minute." Sage waggled her eyebrows and I looked away.
• "Here is your coffee, mummy" Lia said as she walked towards Sage with a cup of coffee.
• "You don't have to be so nice,my daughter."Sage giggles.
• "Lia loves me"Sage whispered and nudge me.
• "Did you hypnotise my daughter？"I gave Sage a confusing look and she nods with a bright smile on her face.
• "Stop giving me that look. Alright, anything for my love" She said and snaps her fingers which made Lia be in her senses.
• "Daddy, that lady made me lose control of my mind" Lia said as she embraced me.
• "Instead of using those powers on my loved ones, why don't you use it on our enemies？"I yelled trying to controlmy anger.
• "Ooh, I like that." Sage said and dashed out of my house.
• "Daddy, stay away from that woman, she is dangerous"Lia whispered as I kissed her forehead.
• "What happened to my new mummy？" She asked.
• "Lisa is just resting" I do not want Lia to know about Lisas cut off arm, she might get angry and disapper.
• "Is mum still mad at us？" Lia asked as she disengaged from the hug.
• "No, Lisa loves us a lot and she can't be mad at us." I cooed as I knelt towards Lia to allow eye contact and a wide smile brighted on her face.
