Chapter Three: A Slight Embarrassment

“Samantha Rebecca Manson! You are in so much trouble when we get our hands…on…you…” The male stopped short at the sight, his eyes going wide at the sight of his injured friend and the white-haired man with a black tail.

All three observed each other for a moment before Danny snarled out, “If either of you is Valerie I suggest you get over here and save my maid’s damn life!!”

“Wha-what?” Valerie sputtered out; her eyes grew wide at the sight. “Th-this is impossible…”

Danny gave off another snarl as he watched the two gaped openly at him while his precious maid lost more and more blood. “I said get over here and safe her life!”

The command seemed to have awoken them from their stupor before they hurried over to their fallen friend. Valerie gently picked the girl up checking her vital signs, while Tucker gaze went from the injured Sam to the growling merman. His apple-green eyes glared dangerously at Tucker, “What the hell do you think you are looking at?”

Tucker stiffened, hearing the threat in the words and tone before he looked down at Sam whose breathing was labored, “W-wha-what happened?”

Danny gave him a suspicious glare before answering, “She rescued me from some human bastards who kept me locked up in tank. They shot at us and she pushed me out of the way…She saved my life.” He unconsciously reached over and moved some hair out of her sweat and pain stricken face. His soft features then went hard once again as he gave the two a deadly glare, “So I suggest you hurry up and save her.”

Valerie bit her lip, “I need to move her onto one of the medical tables.” She gently scooped the thin woman up, struggling a bit, before she hurried to one of the larger metal tables they used for when one of the sea-creatures just needed to do a quick examination outside the water. Pulling her hair back in a pony-tail, Valerie hurried to a near-by sink and began to furiously scrub her hands. Placing on a medical mask and getting the appropriate tools she went to work. “I-I-I’m not sure how well I can do this—I’m a vet not a doctor…Shouldn’t we call some help?”

“And say what Val? That our friend was shot saving a mermaid’s life?” Tucker stated before he instantly corrected himself at Danny’s glare. “I m-mean merman’s life.”

“If you can just keep her stable I can save her if this damn collar would be taken off.” He fingered the device with scorn, just wanting to rip it off of him.

“I might be able to help you with that.” Tucker exclaimed as he reached in his pocket and pulled out his PDA, pulling out a cord before easing his way over to the white-haired man with a black-fish tail. “If I may that is…”

Danny pulled up his long hair, giving the man access to the back.

Instantly Tucker went to work, “There should be an opening for repairs around here—AHA!” He cried as he found the small door, opening it quickly and inserted the cord. His technology glowed and came to life, numbers and figures filling the screen. “Pretty heavy stuff here…”

“So you are useless.” Danny snapped, making Tucker pout.

“I resent that.” He then looked up at Valerie and the limp Sam, worry filling his being. “How is she holding out, babe?”

“I can’t—I can’t do much!” She practically sobbed out.

“Get this off of me so I can help her!” Danny hissed out.

“R-right!” Tucker cried out as he went back to work, quickly typing on the PDA. “Come on—come on!” He ushered as he tried to over-ride the system.

“Come on sweetie! I need help!” Valerie called out as she dug into one of the wounds bringing out the bullet, Sam screamed in pain—having no anesthesia to help the pain.

“I’m hurrying…Almost…THERE!” And with a click the collar fell to the ground with a solid thud.

Danny closed his eyes, feeling his magic running threw his veins—it was an amazing feeling. His body longed for so long to have his power back under his control. Not wanting to waste any magic on himself, the silver-blue aura flew over to the girl and wrapped around her, healing her almost instantly. There were two tings as the copper colored bullets fell on the tile ground.

She gave off a startled gasp before she began coughing slight, her body in shock from bleeding to death to being healed in a matter of seconds. Sam opened her eyes with a groan before she picked herself up, “Ow.” She complained as her sore limbs took their toll on her.

“Sam! Thank God!” Valerie cried as she flung her arms around the girl, near tears. “I thought you were going to die!”

“I’m fine now—really…Where’s Danny?”

“I’m here and I am slowly drying up.” Danny rasped feeling a bit weak from not having any water for so long in his mer-form.

“Tucker—get Danny in the empty shark-tank!” Sam ordered in which he complied. Heaving the male up he walked over to the empty tank and placed the male inside. The cool water felt good, especially since he was inside water without being imprisoned. With some shaky legs, Sam hurried over to the glass and gave the male a grin.

“I told you that I could save you!” She chirped as she placed her hands up against the glass.

He sighed and leaned against the glass, looking at the girl with a gentle smile, “Thanks.”

“Ok, now that everyone is all hunky-dory,” Tucker snapped sarcastically. “What the hell is going on here?!”

Sam looked back with a sheepish grin, “Guys, meet Danny! Prince of the mer-people of the city Atlantis!”

“Er…we’ve met.” Valerie stated as she flinched under the male’s suspicious glare. “But Sam, what happened? Why were you shot? And why the hell aren’t you nearly as shocked and flabbergasted as we are?”

She scratched the back of her head sheepishly, “Well you see…Danny and I met each other when we were kids…” She laughed nervously at her friend’s gaping faces. “Yeah, sorry for not mentioning this to you before…”

The two slapped their hands over their faces, “Why am I not surprise?” They groaned out simultaneously.

Sam licked her lips before she leaned against the tank, crossing her arms over her chest. “I need a few more favors from you guys.” She then looked over at Danny with a smile. “Get rid of the truck. I don’t care where, just get rid of it.”

“Why?” Tucker asked, but seeing the girl no meeting his gaze he knew what it was instantly. “Oh God—did you hot-wire this thing?” There was a pause before Tucker cursed. “Damn it, Sam! I thought we were out of this stage!”

“Heheh—sorry…But I stole the car from the guys who were holding Danny. Now they can’t really go to the cops because the cops would see that they are smuggling and that one of them is the owner of that company that was shut-down because they were caught up in the black-market. Tech Incorporation was the name. So they can’t come off and say that their merman has been stolen since it would incriminate them.”

“So why get rid of the tuck?” Valerie asked.

“Because we don’t have the means to keep and everyone will start asking questions if they see an unmarked truck in the building.”

“And how are we going to explain him?” Tucker asked as he pointed to the male who was listening in the conversation, but as soon as attention had been drawn on him he gave a threatening glare to them. Sam rolled her eyes at his behavior before she thought over about the point Tucker made.

“That is going to be extremely difficult.” She thought out loud as she bit her thumb with a thoughtful expression. She then looked back at Danny, “It’s not right to talk about you when you are present and are able to talk.”

“I think I can think of something…” And with that the stone began to glow and his magic came back wrapping around him. He disappeared in a cyclone of silver and blue, which started to move up and landed on the ground. The light began to clear and there standing on two legs was Danny—naked.

Sam blushed bright red before she slapped her hands over her face. “W-well th-that was different…”

Valerie gave a whistle as she eyed him up and down, his body was perfect in ever single aspect—it was a miracle that she wasn’t drooling at the moment at his sculpted torso, legs, and legs. Other areas were drool-worthy as well.

Tucker gaped openly at him, “Now that is not fair.” He sniffed feeling extremely jealous at the man’s perfect-ness.

“U-um…does anyone mind getting him some pants or something?” Sam sputtered out trying to keep her eyes on the ceiling.

“Why?” Valerie asked.

“Just do it!” Sam snapped with a growl as she glared at her best-friend.

“Fine-fine.” She stated with a pout as she walked over to one of the larger closets where extra equipment and clothes were. She emerged a moment later with loose grey sweat-pants. “Here…” She droned as she threw the pants to the handsome male who caught it effortlessly. “Just slip them on so Ms. Virgin here won’t have a coronary.”

He looked over at Sam for confirmation but she wasn’t looking at him. Sighing he slipped on the pants which rested on his hips, before crossing his arms over his muscular torso. “At night I can turn back to my normal form and during the day I can blend in with you humans.” He spat out.

Sam finally looked over and sighed in relief, though her face was still red at the sight of his upper-body and hips. The man was too gorgeous to be real. “Well I guess that will work—but what could he be?”

“He could be your brother, Sam.” Tucker pointed out.

Sam shook her head, “Everyone knows I’m an only child. Everyone knows that’s one reason why my parents didn’t like me—I wasn’t a boy and my birth was so difficult that my parents couldn’t have another child.”

“A cousin?”

“That would work but there are a few things wrong. All my cousins are in other places of the world—and basically everyone has seen pictures of them. No, I don’t know if that would work…”

“A fiancée.” Danny stated making everyone jump.

Sam’s face grew red again, “I-I-I do-don’t k-know ab-about that…E-everyone wo-would know something is off since I don’t have a boyfriend…”

“Boyfriend it is then.” Danny stated, ending the topic.

“W-what!? Will anyone believe that?! I only had one boyfriend and he dumped me for a girl with a prettier face and bigger boobs! Guys aren’t attracted to me! And who would believe that someone as gorgeous as him would be with,” she used her hands to motion up and down her lanky and petite body. “Well me?”

“You give yourself too little credit.” Tucker stated. “You are very pretty.”

“Coming form someone who is in a big-brother position—you’re suppose to think I’m pretty, the same with you Val.”

“I happen to find you quite attractive as well…” Danny purred out making the black-hair woman squeal.

“O-oh…th-thank you.” She bit her lip, trying to ignore his heated stare and her two friends’s knowing ones. “Um…I guess there isn’t much of a choice because we can’t very well say he is one of your siblings…”

The two chuckled as they looked between them and Danny. “I don’t know, I think he looks a bit like my dad.” Valerie joked earning a humored smirk from Danny. “Well, Tucker will get rid of the truck—you and I will clean up this mess. It will be another hour at the very most until everyone starts to show up.”

Sam nodded before she made her way over to her make-shift bed and slumped down. “Ugh…”

“Mistress!” King Coco sobbed, having left the scene when Valerie and Tucker had hurried inside, wanting to be out of the way.

Hearing the squawk, Sam looked up with a grin. “There you are!” She opened her arms and enveloped the animal in her arms. “I hope I didn’t scare you.”

“Of course you scared me! You were bleeding and you weren’t talking and I thought you DIED!!” He nuzzled himself closer into her chest.

“I guess you were, huh? But it’s ok now!” She then gave Val a grin. “Poor King Coco… Can you handle this on your own?”

“Picking and cleaning up? Yeah I can handle that. Bye Tuck!” She cheered with a wave to her fiancée who was pulling out of the garage. “I’ll get to work—you need to rest anyway.” She stated noticing the exhausted look on the girl’s face and the bags under her eyes. “You and Danny can rest here for the moment. And by the way,” She turned around and gave the girl a glare. “We are talking about you living her very soon.”

Sam winced at being caught, “Damn-it. Caught…”

--

“Oh? So she is going to be your wife?” A woman with short orange-hair and a light blue and black tail asked.

She is a beautiful woman, very well-developed, though her hips were rather big.

It is obvious that she is a royal in the gold and jewels that adored her body. At the end of her tail were three golden “anklets”, three symbolizing she is a royal woman, royal men wore four. On her left arm is the same tattoo her son had on his right, another symbol of women who were royals, and two gold bracelets on her wrist.

Around her neck is a thick gold necklace that had a perfect cut diamond in the shape of dolphin, something she has loved to swim with ever since she was a girl. Her right forearm had a golden bracelet that had diamonds surrounding the edge of it.

Her chest was covered with a black wrap, whose material is unknown to humans, which shined like the skin of a whale.

She is the queen of Atlantis, Madeline Fenton.

Maddie looked down at her son with a gleam in her eye. Her son never seemed to be interested in females other than herself and his sister.

Danny nodded his head rapidly a big grin a blush on his face. “Yep! She was nice, pretty, and wanted to be a maid! There is a way right? I heard that there is a way to do that! She will be a pretty maid!” He sounded like how he acted when he found a baby dolphin and was pleading with her to let him keep it.

“Danny, I’m not quite sure I can do that.” Maddie stated, slightly worried with how attracted and infatuated with the human girl he is. “There are many beautiful maids right here! Why, Lady Paullina would love to be yours!”

Danny took on a look as if he ate something disgusting and sour. “She’s yucky. And I don’t want her, I want Sam!” He huffed and crossed his arms over his chest, getting ready to throw a tantrum. “She’s already mine! We kissed! And only married people and the French can kiss! Sam told me so! She is very smart.” He stated with pride.

Maddie couldn’t help it. She burst into a fit of giggles. It is obvious that he is set on the human girl he hadn’t stopped talking about for the past week, and he just told her that she is his and will be his wife. His mer-blood had begun to kick in. “If you really love her, and both of you want to be married when you come of age, I will transform her into a maid.” Bringing her son in a hug she kissed a top his white head. “I promise.”

“Really? Thanks mama!” He laughed with happiness as his arms wrapped around her neck. He knows that she could get in trouble; after all turning a human into one of the mer-people took a lot of magic, most that was forbidden. And humans aren’t exactly looked on upon in a great light; they hurt the ocean and animals from the sea, leading to many hating the beings above the surface.

Danny has always been fascinated by them, wondering how they can stand on two “legs”, how the walked, danced, and ran. They lived outside the water and breathed air instead of water.

This is a reason he saved the young human girl.

“Ok, ok.” Maddie laughed as well. “Honey?”

“Hmm?”

“I have a little surprise for you that I hope you will like.” She bit her lip.

“What mom?”

“You’re father and sister already knows, I told them just this morning but I wanted to tell you by yourself.” She inhaled. “I’m pregnant. You’re going to have a baby brother or sister.”

At first Danny had no clue what to say. Why did they need a new baby? Wasn’t he and Jazz enough? He refused to look his mother in the eyes but forced a grin on his face. “Really? That sounds great!”

She looked down sadly, knowing he is lying for her sake. “Well, if you have any questions or want to talk to me about you can. I want to know how you feel about this.”

Nodding his head, Danny looked out at the wide ocean. “I’m going to go play. I’ll see you later mom.”

And he swam off.

‘Mom…’ Danny thought as he watched Sam sleep on her bed, the penguin right next to her. It wouldn't be long until she would wake up and do her job, something she promised she would explain to him after her quick nap.

His last moments with his mother were stressed—he lied to her and she knew it, and that hurt her. He winced; he didn’t want that—he never wanted that. Then again he never wanted any of this to happen to him, these humans did so many awful things to him and his family.

He will never hear his sister complain about her parents and look threw books to find logical reasons for their odd behavior.

He will never see his strong father practice and spar, teaching him all sorts of new fighting moves.

He will never feel the warmth of his mother’s arms around him and how she is the only one to handle her rambunctious husband.

He will never see the younger sibling he has never met, never see if it’s a boy or girl, or see them grow up.

He will never see his home, the freedom of the ocean.

Danny leaned over and began to stroke Sam’s hair, a twisted smile on his face as his eyes flashed red. ‘I will never hurt you precious.’ His magic slowly began to change from silver and light-blue to black and red. ‘But them…’ His face went hard with hate as his smirk grew at the memory of the humans. ‘They all will suffer.
