Chapter 25: Sea Dragons in Danger

I ran in my grandparents house, and used their phone to call Kai and the others. I told her about the situation right now and that I made friends with some merpeople. She said she would get my brothers and meet me down here. I finally saw my merfriends and turned. Then I went out in the water and explained what I found. "When I came back in the dome, I didn't look around at first, then when I did no one was around. It was a little too quiet. That's when I had a bad feeling and ran to grandma and grandpa's house and check on them. I fount them knocked out. Gramps was already awake and told me he didn't see who or what did it since they hit them from behind. I called Kaia my birth mom and she is bringing my brothers as well." "That's good. The more the merrier." Said Ocean. "OK Kai. We will try to found out some information in the sea, you find out anything you can in the dome." Said Harkin. "Thanks. I know your busy with prince work." "Its fine. Part of my work is helping other creatures." So we parted ways after that.

I went back in the dome, and saw Kaia and my brother already waiting for me. "Hey Kaia and brothers. Kaia your step dad is fine. Your mom was still unconscious. My merfriends are going to search the ocean to see if they can find out what happened here. My job was to find info here. Mom you stay with your stepdad and find info. My brothers and I will go dome to dome to find out any info we can." "Ok but be careful." Said Kaia. So me and my brothers turned and headed out. "Will you be ok on your breathing Kai?" Said Fury worried. "Yeah. I stayed underwater for at least 2 hours now. I should be fine. If not I will stay in the closest dome possible, catch my breath. Then I will go back out." "Ok don't die on us Kai. We just found you again." Said Dylan. "Yeah yeah." So we parted and went from dome to dome.

I looked around my first dome. It was just as quiet as ours. I looked around form someone who may be conscious. Then I saw someone move. I ran to that person to make sure they were ok. "Hey you ok man!" "Kai? Is that you?" "Yeah I'm Kai." "Oh thank god you're here. The merpeople betrayed us. They attacked us." Said the man. "Were they royal?" "No I don't think so. I could be wrong. They sure didn't look like it. It would be best to check it out." "I have some merfriends who are helping. They are royalty. Find out more info if you can around here. If you see anyone else conscious stay with them." "Yeah. Thanks Kai." Then I went out and turned. I went from Dome to Dome and the only thing I heard, was it was merpeople.

Once I got back to our dome where we were supposed to meet, I met up with my brothers. I told them what I found out. "The only thing I found out is that merpeople attacked them. My merfriends aren't responsible because they were royalty. The man and others didn't recognize them as royalty but he wasn't sure. We just have to wait till my merfriends come back." "Lets just hope they are right that it wasn't royals." Said Fury. "They could have been in disguise." "Yeah I'm worried about that too." I said.

Not long I saw my merfriends arrive. "Come on brothers. Their here." So they followed me outside in their forms. I of course was in mine. "Hey Scarlet and boys. So what happened? I heard from the others that is was your kind who attacked." I said. Then I saw Scarlets sad face. "What's wrong Scarlet? Are you ok?" I asked worried. She shook her head yes. Then I looked up and Harkin. "She just feels bad, because it was our kind that attacked. There was some rogues running around. Please don't blame all our kind. I'm sure they were just giving up trying to find someone to befriend. I don't blame them. It took us forever. I was thinking about becoming one of them for a long time. Thankfully I didn't." said Harkin. "Where are they now?" I said. "They are in a cell back home. Sorry again." "Oh these are my brothers. Fury Dylan and Aiden." "Nice to meet you boys." Said Ocean. Then the others introduced themselves. Harkin introduced them. "Hey I'm Harken Crowned Prince of the merpeople. This is Ocean the middle brother, and Slate the younger. This is my sister scarlet the baby." "Hey I'm not a baby anymore Harkin!" "Sorry Sorry. Haha." "Is it true that you can't go on land?" I asked curiously. "Oh. A lot of merpeople can't. Us royalty and as you know the rogues can. Us that can, are becoming extinct." Said Slate. "Ok so can you help us in the domes checking to make sure everyone is ok?" said Fury. "Yes we can." Said Ocean. So they helped us go from dome to dome to help.

Once we checked to make sure everyone was ok, we headed back to our dome. "Well Everyone your welcome to come inside, but I know you have to go back home." I said. "Your always welcome here. Thank you for your help." Said Fury. Then we all bowed. "Anytime. If you need help give a ring. Anytime you want to hang out or just talk, do the same." Said Slate. "Hehe. Oh slate. I can't believe your still trying to be like Harkin." Said Scarlet. "Hey I am not. Its my own words!" He stood up proudly. "Haha. Ok see you guys another time." I said. Then they were off.

"Ok I think we all better head up." Said Kaia. I looked at her worriedly. "How are your parent?" "Oh they are fine. Mom finally woke up but in a little pain." "A little huh?" So we swam up to the surface and I was fine.

We got onto Kaia's ship and I rested on the floor to catch my breath. After that I went to cliff and told him what happened. Then Elektra came by to see what was up. "Hey Elektra." "Hey Kai is everything ok? You were gone quite awhile." "Yeah I'm fine. Things happened but its all good now. I better get home to moms. I need to see Rin." "OK see you tomorrow." "Yeah."

"Hey mom. Dad. I'm home." Then I saw Elias run up to me. "Ow Elias. What's going on?" He ended up punching me in the shoulder. "You were gone too long idiot!" "Sorry I had to go in the ocean for some business. How are you feeling Rin?" "Oh just a little tired. I will be fine." "Has Sea and Kairi stopped by yet?" "Oh you must have missed them. They left a few minutes ago." Said Mom. "OK I will just see them again some other time." So I chilled at moms for the rest of the day.

"Hey mom? I have been having a lot of memories returning. My head hurts when they return. They said that the next time I have a headache, it will be the worst one, because my memory will come in full blast. No one knows when that could happen. It could happen when I see or hear something that may jog it." "Well if it does you will remember your past. After that, it will help you decide your future." Said mom. Then dad said, "We will be proud of you no matter what decision you make Kai." "Thanks dad. Thanks Elias. Thank you all for being my family and taking me in." I felt really strange feeling all sentimental. That was not the me I remembered it felt creepy. "Well look whose getting sentimental now Kai." Said Elias. "Haha. Yeah I feel weird being this way myself." Then Rin said, "I like this sentimental Kai." "Hey Rin. Don't get used to it. I'm not trying, it sort of happened."

After visiting for a while, my head starting hurting. "Ah." Then it got more intense. "Ah!!" "His memories are coming back full blast!" Said mom. "Lets get him to the sound proof room until it ends." Said Dad. "I will stay with him." "OK dad." Said Elias.

After awhile my headache stopped. I slowly opened my eyes and saw my dad there. "Dad?" "Yes Kai its me. How you feeling?" "Fine now. Man what a feeling damn! How long was this going on for?" "It was only 10 minutes." "Only 10 minutes? It felt like hours." "Haha. Yeah headaches will do that. So do you remember everything now?" "Yes I have to talk to you all about it."

We walked out and I saw everyone. They all looked worried. I sat down next to my brother and Rin. "I'm fine everyone. Everything is going to be ok." I said in relief. "I remember everything now. I remember what happened my kind. I remember what happened on the ship and everything. No matter what happens, you will always be my family." "What are you talking about what ever happens?" Said mom. "Oh I'm just saying if anything happens to me in the future is all." "Oh Rin and I were talking about moving down in the ocean in one of the domes. We just wanted to let you know. I will still work up at the surface like always and I will come visit. There are plenty of kids who haven't changed yet or probably never will that Rin can babysit. I will put an air bubble on her so she can. Don't worry though. We won't be doing this until after the wedding." So we visited for a bit.
