    The music was beautiful. The mermaids came out of the water, did a little trick, then swam back down. They woulde up again, jump high,nd with a ssh, and repeat. They showed so many tricks. One of them swam fast, jumped high, spun in the air, andnded back in the water. Their tails were different colors, shiny and glittery. When the light hit them, they looked even brighter.

    My friends were glued to the performances. Sometimes Sage and Jenny looked insecure when Penn and Lamar kept staring at the mermaids. Some of the mermaids acted cute, smiling, waving, and interacting with the crowd. Others were seductresses. They stared into the eyes of Norman, Lamar, Penn, and Gavin, then did a little dance, rubbing their hands over their bodies, smiling in a way that gave the men goosebumps, before going back into the water.

    I felt jealous like the others, but it was nothing. They were only performing. Norman was enjoying it, though. I even caught him looking at me a few times. I didn’t know why, and I wanted to ask him what he was thinking.

    One mermaid must have noticed Jenny was feeling insecure. She came close to the edge and blew a kiss, not at Lamar but at Jenny, until Jenny started smiling and pping. When she did the same to Lamar, and Lamar got excited trying to catch the flying kiss, she sshed him on purpose, making everyoneugh.

    Once the performance was over, dinner was served. The drinks tasted like nothing from the werewolfnd. Altogether, the next three hours of entertainment were perfect.

    "What were you thinking?" I finally asked Norman as we returned to the maind.

    "You’ll give me that kind of entertainment once you give birth, right?" he teased, nudging me with his elbow.

    "Of course, if you mend yourself and don’t mess up again," I warned him with a yful look.

    But the closer we walked back to the mansion, the more I realized maybe not. I didn’t want to get too close to my mermaid side anymore. I had nned something for Emmet, and the fact that even Norman forgot about it made it scarier. I wanted everyone to remember not to hold onto my mermaid side too strongly anymore. Sadly, I did ask Emmet toe with us but he couldn’t. Not until the curse started to get extreme and we began to break the brothers free from them.

    And then we all paused when we looked up and saw Lord McQuoid finally arrive. We had heard he had a little unfortunate event when his car broke down. The warriors reached him right away to help, but he was also feeling under the weather, so they had to rest longer than expected. The warriorster told us he didn’t want to wait. He wanted to get here and meet my mom as quickly as possible. And now he was finally here.

    We had just entered the mansion to eat dinner when he arrived.

    "Urs," he said, calling my mom’s name. My mom started walking toward him, then broke into a sprint.

    "McQuoid," she cried,nding in his arms and hugging him.

    The mermaids began to walk inside, wanting to glimpse the man who had made her feel loved after she had lost everything. The way they hugged each other said everything. Then Lord McQuoid cupped her face in his hand and kissed her on the lips.

    "Is he going to be our king?" one of the mermaids asked. Lord McQuoid and Urs broke their kiss,ughing at her words.

    "Why not? He is my king," my mom said.

    I was so happy for her. She had finally found her happiness.

    But every good timees to an end. After dinner, we were already making ns to trap Lucy. She had been distant ever since she arrived in Arthendel. I guess she expected to spend time with Norman and use this trip to her advantage, but his changing attitude probably tipped her off. She wasn’t interested in anything anymore.

    "You know he is so mean," Jenny continued, grunting and rolling her eyes at Lamar, who looked guilty. I guess she had been giving him a hard time after the show.

    "Guys!" Gavin arrived in haste. We were taking a walk and had left Penn, Sage, Gavin, and Lucy in their guest rooms, while my mom and Lord McQuoid stayed in theirs. Even at dinner, they sat together and didn’t want to separate for a bit. I hadn’t seen Mr. McQuoid happy in so long, so I was happy for them. But the look on Gavin’s face told me there was trouble.

    "What is it?" I asked, turning to him. Norman and Lamar were on our sides, while Jenny and I were in the middle.

    "Has anyone seen Lucy at all?" As soon as he asked, we panicked instantly. Him asking that question meant she wasn’t wandering around or exploring. She had left.

    "What? She’s not in there?" I asked, almost tripping as I tried to get back to the mansion.

    "Careful," Norman warned, holding me in his arms.

    "Norman, if she left, you know what that means." I stuttered, shaking at the thought of failing Lucy.

    "It’s okay. We’ll go find her. She hasn’t gone too far. Lamar,e with me." Norman patted the back of my hand, and then Jenny kind of held me back, taking me to my room while Gavin, Lamar, and Norman went to look for her.

    As Jenny led me back, we heard that Penn and Sage had also started searching everywhere for Lucy. She had turned off her phone, so there was no way to contact her or trace her number.

    "I heard what happened," my mother rushed in, with Lord McQuoid behind her. She was in beautiful red lingerie, but she wore a robe over it.

    "Don’t worry, I’ve sent the mermaids to sense her out. They’ll find her," she said, looking confident.

    "Are you sure?" I asked. She nodded, closing her eyes to reassure me.

    "Hnie, a mermaid’s senses are never wrong. Don’t worry, they’ll find her," my mom said with a smile.

    Soon, a guard rushed in to give us the news.

    "We’ve found Lucy. We trapped her in a car after giving her sedatives. I spoke to the mermaids and they are bringing her back here. Is there anything else you want us to do?" he asked.

    The news was all I wanted to hear. But then my mother said something that made me feel slightly bothered.

    "See, Hnie, once you give birth and can transition again and use all your mermaid senses, you’ll realize mermaids are very powerful," she said in her beautiful voice. Little did she know, I didn’t even n to keep my tail.
