Marissa and the Mermaid

Poppy Halliwell
''SLAM! ''Went the front door of the Halliwell Manor. Strangely enough, the only ones to hear it were Poppy, and the newcomer, Marissa Whyte.

"Who's there?!" screamed Poppy,

"It's me. I have a little problem" Marissa said while whacking out the water in her rain coat. Poppy walked up behind her.

"I could've just orbed to you, " she shook her head at the younger girl.

"I'm not in any serious issues...I just..uh...well...I've got a mermaid in my bathtub?" Poppy's eyes widened in shock.

"M-mermaiid...? Are you kidding me?" she started laughing.

"No, not at all. I found a mermaid while out fishing, shes unconcious and needs help." Marissa said it in a serious way, not joking at all. Poppy immediately stopped laughing.

"Wait...your telling the truth...? You've got a mermaid?" Disbelief was all that could be heard from her.

"I'm serious Poppy, come on. we need to get to her. "

"Sometimes I wish I could orb to chargers who just call me. Though, she could be my charge. I hear a voice in my head."

"Then come on, orb us to her" Marissa took her hand. and soon they were orbed to Mar's classic bathroom, the tiled floor almost making Poppy slip. "Watch it, she splashed a lot."

"Okay then," she walked up to the bathtub, inside was a mermaid, no more then 11 years old at the most. The water around her tinted a dark red, her stomach having a huge on the side of it.

Poppy took her hand, "Uh.....mom? is that...is that you?" the fish girl said weakly.

Marissa sat on the toilet seat, looking at Poppy, "You've gotta heal her. Please." She nodded her head and Poppy put her hands on the girl's stomach, her hands started to glow and so did the mermaid's abdomen. Then her eyes opened wide in fear, staring at the two girls, the ones with legs.

"Wh-who are you..." She pulled away from Poppy, but she grabbed her hand.

"Don't worry....I'm Poppy Halliwell. Now...you have to tell me what happened to you?" (WIP)
