Blindfolded

"We're not going straight to Varun's demesne?" she asked, confused. She thought they were going to investigate the Pillar of Water's murder.

"We can't," Brooke stated. "Though, I suppose we should start thinking of it as Poseidon's demesne if he really took over. We're too well known there. After the events yesterday, we'll have to take another route in. That means a different portal."

"But where?" Jessica asked with a note of nervousness in her voice. "If we have to travel underwater, I won't make it."

Brooke regarded them for a couple moments. Shelly didn't like the frown that crossed her stepmom's face. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to blindfold the two of you."

"What?" Jessica spluttered and moved further up the bed, away from the mermaid. "Why? What about your…" she trailed off as she glanced at Brock before adding, "son?"

Shelly didn't like the idea of being blindfolded either, but she trusted Brooke.
