Picture is Damarion (just imagine him with redish eyes)
"She? So this person is a woman?" I ask wanting to know more.

"Yes and a very powerful one at that." he says through clenched teeth. 

"What makes her so dangerous?" I ask

"I think it is my turn to request that we no longer continue discussing this topic." he says looking very uncomfortable. 

"Alright we can stop talking about this for now. So tell me about Ryder." I say

"What would you like to know?" he asks his eyes lighting up.

"How did the two of you meet?" I ask.

"Oh it was not anything special. I was out looking for a special kind of kelp that can be used as an anesthetic and Ryder was looking for the same and it only grows in this one kelp forest . We just kind of ran into each other and as soon as his hand touched my own I knew he was the one and we have been together ever since." he says.

"Aw that's so sweet." I say.

"It is getting late I should be going." he says standing up.

"Alright it was nice talking to you." I say.

"Same with you. I hope we get another chance to do this." he says hopefully.

"Yeah same here. Bye." I reply.

"Goodbye Princess." he says. I sat there a while longer thinking about everything Nate had said. He sounded so sincere like he really believed all this mermaid nonsense. I was getting ready to go when a man came up to me. He looked a few years older than me and was very tan with black hair and eyes that almost looked red. He just stood there staring at me.

"Can I help you?" I ask

"No you have already done enough thank you. Who would have thought that you wold be stupid enough to be so close to the water." he says with a smirk.

"Excuse me? You don't even know me, who the hell do you think you are?!" I exclaim

"Apologies for offending you. Let me start over I am Damarion." he says giving a little bow.

"Marian." I say feel skeptical.

"It's nice to meet you...Marian" he says.

"Yeah look I have to go."

"Alright I hope to see you around Ir-Marian." he says turning and leaving.

"Okay, sure."  I say.

Time Skip (2 weeks)
The past couple weeks have been pretty normal. I haven't seen Nathaniel at all and so far nothing supernatural has happened. The only slightly weird thing is that there's this buzzing noise in my ear but it's probably nothing, I'm gonna be going to the doctor later today to get it checked out. The only bad thing was that Damarion goes to my school now and he's a total creeper. He keeps staring at me and smirking at me like he knows something I don't. He's got all of the girls at school eating out of his palm even Amy which seriously pisses me off. As I was heading to my class I was cornered by, who else, Damarion who pinned me to the lockers. "Well, well, well we finally get some alone time." he says. I wondered what he was talking about until I looked around and saw that there was no one else in the hallway. Perfect.

"What the hell do you want?! Why do you keep staring at me?" I ask.

"Stop acting all innocent you know exactly what I want! You're coming with me Princess." he says sounding pissed. What how the hell did he know about what Nathaniel had been telling me?! What else did he know?

"What the hell are you talking about?" I ask freaking out internally. 

"You know exactly what I'm talking about." he says.

"Let her go Damarion." Nate says and I look over and see him standing behind Damarion. How the hell did he get here and how did he know that I was in trouble?!

"Ah look who it is, perfect little Nathaniel. You want me to let her go? Why don't you make me?!" yells Damarion.

"Fine it seems I have no choice."  Nate says grabbing one of Damarion's arms and twisted it behind his back in a painful looking angle, leaned over and whispered something in his ear. Then Nathaniel let him go and Damarion ran off.

"Thanks Nathaniel, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't shown up." I say trying to catch my breath.

"No need to thank me after all it is my duty to protect you. I apologize for not being here sooner, I did not think that Damarion would do something like this." he says sounding worried.

"How did you get to me so fast anyway?" I ask.

"I am never far and I heard your distressed thoughts and ran here as fast as I could." he says.

"Wait since when could you read minds?" I ask mystified. 

"Oh well always. We use telepathy to communicate underwater." he explains.

"Really? Cool. How did Damarion know all that stuff anyways? I haven't told anyone, not even Amy." I ask.

"Damarion knows about you because his mother told him. She obviously sent him here to check up on you. See what you knew." he says again sounding concerned.

"So you're saying Damarion is like you?" I ask 

"Like us, but yes. While I'm here how are you doing? Anything unusual happen?" he asks hopefully.

"Nope, nothing out of the ordinary's happened. I mean I've had this annoying buzz in my ear for the past week but I'm sure its nothing." I say trying to brush it off.

"What kind of buzzing? Is it constant or on and off?" he asks sounding excited.

"Constant why what's going on?" I ask confused as to why he's so interested.

"What is going on is you are starting to regain your telepathy." he says triumphantly. 

"What?! That makes no sense! I'm hearing buzzing not voices." I say

"The reason for that is your mind can not sort through all the voices so it sounds like buzzing. I can train you to separate the voices, isolate them and block them out if need be." he explains. 

"Okay um...when do we start?" I ask. 

"We can start now if you want." he suggests.

"Well I guess I mean last period is almost over so I'd be kinda pointless to go now..so yeah we can start now." I say

"Alright then follow me." he says starting to walk toward the main exit.
