Chapter 809: 809-We Watch Them Sleep Together

Helanie:

He went back to the bed and lay down while Lucy began to scream. Norman left the room, and I stood holding the pearl in my hand. I rubbed it, ignoring the entity’s screams telling me all sorts of terrifying things that would happen to Gavin if he went inside. And it made me believe what Gavin was saying, she was stopping us for a reason.

Soon, I watched the two drift into slumber. The pearl began to glow, bright like anything. I turned off all the lights and placed it on the table. If I needed to go with him, I would have to lie down and close my eyes, or at least lie down. I put the pearl on the table and walked out of the room.

Once outside, I noticed everyone standing there, watching me like a doctor walking out of an ICU.

"Now we wait," I said, some anxiety visible on my face.

"I really hoped Gavin would be able to convince her that we were all her friends, that none of us hated her or would hurt her." Jenny started praying, hugging Lamar, and sobbing. Everybody was teary-eyed.

If it all went well, we would be able to see and meet Lucy again.

While they waited, my mom gently touched my elbow to get my attention. I knew soon she would ask to talk because she had noticed me anxiously glancing at her. I realized it when I saw her try to make eye contact, but every time she looked at me for too long, I would look away.

"Come to the side," my mom said, gently holding my hand and guiding me away from everyone else.

"Yeah, what is it?" I asked, pretending I had no idea she had noticed my anxiety.

"Helanie, what is going on?" she asked, sitting upright, not sugarcoating or starting with small talk.

"I’m just anxious for Gavin and Lucy," I lied, trying to look away. That wasn’t the only reason I was anxious. I was also worried about a decision I had made and how others, especially the people of Arthendel would react.

Today, when the mermaids performed, many of them told me they would wait for me to perform with them. They looked hopeful. So once they found out that I hadn’t intended to give up on my mermaid tail, I wondered how they would react. Most of my senses would be gone. My mother only had a weakened wolf form before, which didn’t exist anymore, so she was basically human. But they were still relying on me.

"I think it will be better if you don’t try to lie, if you cannot," my mom stated, folding her arms across my chest and staring at my face.

I guess at this point I had no other option. Besides, telling her the truth wasn’t the problem. I would be happy if she found out and helped me.

"I had made up my mind to give up my tail to save Emmet from his curse," I said, watching her just keep staring at me. I expected her to be angry, to at least scold me for making that decision on my own.

But instead, she laughed a little.
