Chapter one

"Lucas, come on, wake up."

"Lucas!"

I jumped on top of my big brother.

"Hey!"

"What was that all about?"

"I was trying to sleep and you scared me to death."

"Sorry and by the way you're not dead so i didn't scare you that bad and plus you're always sleeping when I wake up."

"Mom and Dad are always asleep too."

"I really want someone to hangout with."

"Why don't you wake Mom or Dad up then and let me get back to sleep?"

"Well I would but Mom and Dad made it really clear to me that they didn't want me to wake them up any more."

"So will you get up and come watch the sunrise by the lake with me?"

"Yeah okay I will."

"Just let me get ready for the day."

I grabbed some clothes and walked to the bathroom.

"Hey are you done yet?"

"I don't want to miss the sunrise."

"Lucas?"

"I am almost done, just give me some time. I don't usually get up this early."

"Well hurry up it's almost time and I want to be on the beach before the sun rises."

"Ready, let's go and see it then."

No wonder why Mom and Dad don't want to get bugged anymore in the morning.

"Sweet lets go."

I grabbed my brother's hand.

"Sit this is going to blow your mind and when it does you will want to keep coming back to see it."

"I will believe it when I see it."

The sun began to rise and wow it was so amazing.

"Well what do you think?"

"Great right?"

"I am so speechless this is beautiful I really don't know what to say."

"I know right I told you it was going to blow your mind."

"You sure did tell me."

"I might start coming here to see the sunrise every morning now."

"Well let's go home to have breakfast."

"Oh okay."

I grabbed Lucas's hand and we started to walk back home. I watched the waves crash into the rocks looking on the shore. I saw a girl washed up on shore.

"Lucas look It's a girl who just washed up and she's not moving."

I look where my sister is pointing, she's right there is a girl washed up on shore.

"Go home, call nine one one and let Mom and Dad know what is happening."

"Okay yes I will."

I ran to the girl and WOW what I saw was unbelievable.

She's a mermaid?

I blind in amazement and then it's gone no more tail or maybe I am just losing my mind.

I tap her shoulders.

"Can you hear me?"

"Are you okay?"

"Lucas I called nine one one and the ambulance is here."

I look back and the people from the ambulance ran to the girl

"How long has she been like this?"

"A couple of minutes or so."

"We need to get her to the hospital to make sure she's okay."

I watched as they put her on a stretcher.

"Can I come with you?"

"Yea you might as well, the police are going to have to talk to you anyway about what happened and what you saw."

We got to the hospital and the police talked to me in the waiting room.

I was so relieved when the doctor walked in and the police left.

"How is she doing?"

"Can I see her?"

"She's stable and no you can't see her yet. I will come back to get you when she's awake."

"Okay"

I am so nervous.

I hope she's okay.

No one has come to tell me anymore about how she's doing.

"Lucas?"

"Yes that's me."

"You can now come with me."

"She's awake now."

"How is she?"

"Is she okay?"

"Yes she is okay."

"The weird thing is there is no sign of injury or anything, she is just tired."

"Where did you find her again?"

"My sister saw her wash up on the shore this morning and she was not responding at all."

We finally got to her room.

"Can I go see her now?"

"Yes you can."

I opened the door.

I walked into the room.

She is scared.

"Does she have a name or any records here?"

"No matter of fact she doesn't have any information anywhere."

"It's like she was never born."

"Is it okay if I stay with her?"

"Yes that will be fine I will be back to check in on her and see how her vitals are doing and hopefully send her on her way."

"Okay sounds good,"

The doctor left and the girl was starting to cry.

"What's wrong?"

"Where am I?"

"Who am I?"

"I am scared and I don't want to be here."

"It's going to be okay."

"Do you remember anything at all?"

"No!!"

"I don't remember anything."

"I am scared."

Tears ran down my face then there was a knock at the door.

"Hello, how are you today?"

"She's doing good but she remembers nothing."

"Well young lady you can leave now you are all good."

"Where will I go? I don't remember anything or anyone."

"You can stay with me and my family."

"I wouldn't want to be a hand full for you and your family."

"Oh you would be the opposite of that."

"My family loves to help people and I know they will love you too."

"Well okay that would be nice to get some help right now."

"But I will only stay until I remember everything."

"Deal?"

"Deal, let's get going then."

"Thanks for all the help, doctor."

"You're welcome and you get better young lady."

"I sure will try."

I followed Lucas out of the building.
