Chapter 37: Chapter 37

Cindy had followed Kapella to the pool room few minutes after she left.

She could hear voices as she approached the door and opened it to behold the scene.

She gasped seeing Kapella fall into the water.

Lovely wanted to go save her but Diaz attacked him.

Cindy raced as fast as she could to the distribution board on the wall.

She took the pliers on top and opened it.

"Breath Cindy, Breath".

She took in a deep breath and started cutting the wires.

Kapella was wondering what to do next when the lights went off putting the entire place in darkness..

Since the room was enclosed, there was no light coming in so the only light available was the illumination from the water.

"Close your eyes and stop the glow". She could hear a voice in her head.

Kapella quickly shut her eyes and took control which stopped her glowing tail putting the pool in darkness.

Diaz and Lovely couldn't see anything as they swam around.

She shot herself up like a bullet bursting out of the water in her Mermaid form but no one saw her since there was not a single light entering the room.

She landed on the stairs and her tail turned back to legs before took off immediately

"Kapella!". Lovely thought as he grabbed the unseen body but feeling a neck chain.

He pushed him off and swam to the surface.

Kapella raced into the restroom and bolt the door.

She dropped her torn trouser on the WC and leaned against the wall.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!". She exclaimed.

The event that just took place flashes through her head causing a terrible headache.

She switched the tap and washed her face as the water dispense on the sink.

She paused and watched the water on the sink rise up like magic.

Her lips slowly parted in awe as it flew slowly toward the door.

It iced up and pushed the bolt open.

"What!". She exclaimed and dash for the door to stop it from opening but it kick open slamming her to the wall.

She raised her head up to see a beautiful girl with blue eyes who leaned against the door post.

"Who the hell are you?".

"It's a what?". She announced and Kapella could hear the girl's voice in her head.

"It was you".

"And I am still wondering what specie of Mermaid you are, there are some Mermaids with bright tails, are you an Arctic?". She asked and Kapella scoffed.

"What else would I want than be an Arctic, well my tears are pearl not diamond so no".

"I can see you don't know the core principle a Mermaid should follow".

"Do I look like a Mermaid student?".

"It's advisable not to fall in love with humans, in ends up in a disaster, Anita is a good example, I'm sure you've heard of her ".

"I do, so what's that got to do with me?".

"Getting dragged by two dudes, just felt you should know".

"By the way who are you?". Kapella asked.

"I'm Madison, One of the Mermaids who escaped from the Hunter Woman".

"Madison right?, Who's this Hunter Woman you mermaids talk about?".

"We don't know her but she's one eyed and dangerous".

"One eyed? ".

"Yeah, uses an eye patch like a Mermaid, She's never called by her name but Ma'am, Boss and whatever and she's heartless".

"Damn! She must be evil". Kapella said.

"Big time evil, only if we knew her true identity, striking to rescue our people won't be hard".

"You were part of those women who came yesterday?".

"Yes I'm but don't call me girl cause I'm actually 25". She revealed and Kapella turned to her.

"I can see you're a total novice, we can pause our growth and we live hundred of years but not withstanding we're not immortal because we still get to die a natural death after years of existence".

"Wow! I guess I don't know alot, how did you do that water thing?".

"Takes years to learn, require a lot of concentration".

"That's right nice".

"I should teach you a lot since you're new you know".

"Don't bother". Kapella told her.

"Mermaids are born with basic knowledge of how to use their powers, number one of which is mind control but there are greater abilities, we ain't born with all the knowledge, we learn them".

Lovely and Diaz got out of the pool dripping wet just as the light was restored.

"As much as I hate you, did you see that strange light?". He asked.

"I do, there was nothing underwater that would have caused". Lovely replied.

"Did you find her?".

"That's the end of our conversation, fvck off! ". He cursed walking away.

He took off his shirt as he walked away making the female students bite their nail.

" I don't need them ". Kapella told and they turned hearing footstep.

" You should learn to bolt doors K". They heard a voice and the noise of someone locking the main door to the restrooms.

Kapella walked past Madison to see Cindy.

"You always love getting yourself into trouble".

"I love that line but it isn't my fault".

"Will you keep arguing with me half naked?". Cindy said and threw her bag for her.

She caught it and scoffed.

"Does it matter?". She asked and she opened the bag.

"Not all girls are girls, some might be Ashley".

"Gosh! You don't know about that".

"Someone who picks on the female folks, what else should be thought about her?". Cindy asked.

"Pick on male folks and she'll be called a slut".

"Are you backing her up?".

"Not at all, Just see the emotion in her eyes whenever Lovely is hurt and you'll realize there might be a good in her".

"Or maybe she's just after him, crazy".

"Seriously? Were you not the one who suspected her to be a Lesbian".

"Wow! Brav! You finally said the word".

"Did I, you know what, just turn around I want to change my undie". Kapella said as she took off her cloth.

Cindy scoffed and smirked her lips.

"You better dress up before someone comes knocking, probably your boyfriend". She said and Kapella stopped mid way wearing her bra.

"I've told you he's a friend ".

" There's nothing as that in 21st century, it develops ".

" Develops indeed, to what, tadpole or lava? ". Kapella asked and wore a T shirt.

" Develops to LovElla". .

"And what is that?".

"Like you always say, forget it, did I turn off the lights just in time? ". She asked.

"Hold on it was you?".

"I got the shock of a life time after trying to fix the wire I cut, now my brain is conducting electric current buzz buzz buzz". Cindy said and she laughed.

"I'm sorry, deeply sorry". Kapella apologized.

"I need a lot of ice cream to calm it".

"Glutton!".

"What! I'm gonna kill you?". She threatened.

"Thank you Cindy, what can I do without you?".

"Telling lies".

"C'mon we've settled that already".

"I can see you girls have settled". Madison said and Cindy saw her.

"Who's she?".

"Mermaid, she helped me".

"Mermaid, you hypnotized your way into the school right?".

"Mmmm hmmm, I got ocean blue eyes". She whispered.

"Don't even try to seduce me, let's go". Cindy said dragging Kapella.

"Cindy I'm without a skirt". She cried playfully.

"Will you put it on". She inquired taking the bag from her.

Kapella puts on the skirt and turn to Madison.

"Nice meeting you".

Lovely walked toward the female restroom now in a new dress when he almost bumped into them.

"Hey". Kapella smiled.

"I was worried I didn't find you in the pool".

"Yeah..i...um....".

"She was transparent so she had to become parent... No... Invisibile.. Gosh! She didn't want eyes on her so she took off like a pregnant cheetah ".

" Cindy please stop! ". Kapella said laughing.

" Alright then, um, did you have a source of light in the pool? ". He asked.

" Um... My phone got wet and malfunctioned, the torch switched active and now it's totally dead, beyond repair ".

"The light was kind of red or yellow, I can't remember though, And when is the funeral? ".

"hush! Be serious Lovely".

"My condolence then, Don't forget tonight, I'll be picking you up".

"Don't come to my house, I'll text you were to meet me?".

"Alright then, I'm off to class". He waved.

"We'll join you". Cindy said and he left.

"You're going on a date with him, wow!".

"Cindy!".

"What?".

"Do you want to die?".

"Do you have intentions to kill me?".

"Then keep quiet, I just escaped getting caught as a Mermaid".

"Duh!, A good guy would buy you a new phone not buy a casket for the dead, dudes of this centuries are such a headache".

"Are you alright?".

"I think the shock has tempered with my...".

"Your sanity".

"Huh!, Will you keep quiet and move before I move you ". Cindy threatened and she stared blankly at her.

"Damn!, Busted, For once faceless fvcked us up". They could hear a student as they moved in into the classroom.

Kapella stared at Cindy and she shrugged.

"I don't know".

They sat down and Cindy tapped the student in front of her.

"What's going on?".

"We think Faceless sold us off, the school authority employed a cyber security genius who found the loophole she's using and with that unravel, all she's done have been undone, now eveyone is a Debtor, the amount owed by each student is so huge because we've not been paying ".

" Wow! That's bad ". Cindy said as she turned slowly to Kapella who picked a pen and began to write.
