An Unknown Home
Blue?
I woke up on sand with the sun scorching my body. Where was I and more importantly where was Blue? Panic raced threw me as I sat up in an instant. Where was my youngest sister? I had already lost my younger sister Bewpy several years ago when she went missing. She just disappeared on the same night of the Moonlight Ball. I wonder what she wished for. I crawled into the ocean. I felt revived with the water against my skin. I had to find Blue. I swam three times around the island I appeared on, but she wasn’t there. I grew worried and gave up. I quickly came up to a rock where I could sit. I needed rest. As I watched the sun set in this unknown land, a dark large figure was swimming up to me. It was fast and terrifying, but I knew it wouldn’t bring me harm. It was Blue.
Tear Drops
Blue’s face looked like she was about to cry. I couldn’t blame her. I would have felt that way too. We had just become lost. It may be forever, or it may be for a short while, but a feeling in my gut told me that we weren’t even going back home, and it was my entire fault. How could I’ve been so stupid? I didn’t even think about the consequences. I was being selfish. Blue just stared at me with her sapphire eyes. I could have sworn on a shining star that I saw a tear run down my sister’s face.
“Abbey,” Blue squeaked in the voice of a young child, “Where are we?”
I just stared at my sister. Where are we? I can’t even answer that question. I was supposed to be wise one, but in this moment I felt dim-witted. I had gotten us into this mess, and I was sure nothing could get us out. I finally decided to tell my baby sister something.
“Blue,” as another tear shed down her face, “ I don’t know where we are, but we need to find out.”
“But what if that vortex comes back to take us home?” she asked softly.
“Sister, it isn’t coming back. This is our new home.”
My sister and I made a connection that day. It was probably the first day we ever agreed on an important decision. We agree to explore this land a land in which time we learned to call Altera.
"But first, some rest."
Dreams
As we rested on that cold stone rock, I had a dream. I dreamed of my mother Nerissa Oceana Queen of Sirena. I saw her crying. Teardrops flooded the water surrounding her with her sky blue eyes puffy. Her long brown hair was everywhere. My mother had lost everything that was important to her, her three daughters. Her silver tail shimmered as the full moon’s light shined against it. Mermaid’s dreams could tell the future and time itself. With the emotions my mother was sending, she was searching for us mentally. Her messaged had reached me, yet I couldn’t reply to her. Time must move on. There was no going back.
My mother whispered, “ I love you.” Then the dream switched. I saw my sister Bewpy, my oranged-eyed sister who had been missing for more then a decade.
“Bewp-.”
“Abbey, I have no time for explaining,” Bewpy said. “Follow the boat of Shipwreck Cove. When you awaken, the boat should be passing by. When you reach the port called Port Silver, hide from mortals’ sight. I will meet you there. “
The dream was starting to become fuzzy with light peeking inside.
“Hurry!” she screamed.
I opened my eyes and saw the boat she was talking about. I quickly awoke Blue.
“Let’s follow that boat to Port Silver, “ I quickly shuttered then swam after the boat she was speaking of.
I was going to find my Bewpy.
My Long Lost Little Sister
Staring at a light orange-eyed sibling once again was marvelous. I hadn’t seen my little sister Bewpy in over one hundred years, yet while I was filled with excited, I could tell Bewpy was feeling as if the whale relieved itself on her. She was not happy to see us. I couldn’t explain my sister’s emotions. The only thing I could explain was how much stronger she look. She had matured, adapted to this environment of mortals. She was lucky, it would be a while before Blue and I would learn.
“Abbey,” she grunted, yet it almost sounded like whimpering child,” How did you get here? You shouldn’t be here. “
“Bewpy!!” Blue screamed, but Bewpy didn’t dare look at her precious eyes.
“I made a wish at the Moonlight Ball, and it came true. Bewpy, I’m happy to see you.”
“You wished to see me? That was foolish, I am fine! I am Queen of the Seas here in Port Silver. Poor mortals fear me!”
Her voice echoed with power, and my voice began to tremble.
“I didn’t wish to see you, but I am happy you are safe. I will explain how we arrived here later.”
“Later? Abbey, you should be going home.”
“Bewpy, Blue and I aren’t going home anytime soon.”
“What?”
