Monster Academy - The Blood of Mermaids - Chapter Five

Castle of Myths
Darren didn't pay attention to the rest of class, he couldn't. He just kept flipping through the book. Every page, almost every page about nymphs had Alex. It was unbelievable....but that would mean..

Alex was a princess. She was the princess of Atlantis none the less. He couldn't believe it. And she hadn't even told him.

Darren couldn't help but feel a bit hurt, he was also overwhelmed though...he was dating first a mermaid...now he knew she was a princess.

Sure he knew Diana was one to, but it just didn't seem to work with Alex. It didn't seem right. We'll as he looked through the book, she ignored him, she didn't even look at him. But when it was time to go, she bolted for the door. Not even waiting for him.

He ran after her, "Alex! Alex wait!" He started running to the cove, when he got tere he found her on the ground with her arms wrapped around her knees.

"Alex what the hell is going on?!" He shouted at her angrily. He didn't mean to but she shouldn't had kept this from him.

"Can't you see? I'm the stupid freaking princess! I'm a princess dammit!" She screamed at him, she couldn't help it either.

Darren just stood there glaring at her. His girlfriend had lied to him..but he couldn't help but think that this was why she was acting so strange...she was worried... He looked to her.

She said softly, "I'm a princess and I don't want to be....I didn't want to tell you because I was scared of what you might think...I thought you'd be scared...because I'm a princess..." She didn't look up. Darren started to soften.

He couldn't stay mad at her....but then something started to come out of the water. It looked like a chariot...a royal chariot with a man..a man with a tail in it.
