Jade POV
"So what do you exactly want to know?" I asked as I tried to sit patiently without flipping out again.
It has been over five hours since my family and the pack found out about me being a mermaid. Of course when I arrived at the beach I immediately dived in and swam for the Moon Pool. I stayed there for a few hours to cool down.
I returned back home to be met with an immediate hug from Jake. I was quite surprised by this and that he kept apologising, when in reality it should be me apologising to him. I was then led into the house and sat down on the couch with Jake on my left and Paul on my right.
"Everything," Embry said with a complete look of fascination shining in his warm brown eyes. Aww, he looks like a child on Christmas. "How did you become a mermaid?"
"On an island near Gold Coast," I answered. "It was after my swimming practice when me and my friend went on a boat trip, which led to the fuel running out so we peddled to the island. Of course there was no internet connection there whatsoever, so we had to walk up to high ground. Somewhere in the middle of the of the jungle, my friend Cleo fell into a cave, which led to me and the other girls going after her. We got stuck in the cave and basically around midnight, I'm guessing now cause my phone run out of battery, the Moon made the pool in the cave become like a jacuzzi which led to us becoming into mermaids after touching any liquid after ten seconds. Oh, and we have powers."
Once I finished, I took a deep breath and waited for the outbursts or practically anything, but to my surprise, nothing happened. I looked around and saw the looks of astonishment and wonder.

"So, there are more of you?" Jared asked making me nod. "How many more?"
"Well there is me," I said in a duh tone, "there is Rikki Chadwick, Emma Gilbert and Cleo Sertori. We also met a former mermaid from the 50s. She and her friends were mermaids but they gave it all up for normal lives."
"You can give your tail and powers up?" Sam asked making me nod. "How?"
"The Moon Pool," I replied. "It was the Moon that gave us this ability, and it is the Moon that can take it away."
"Is that why you were acting so weird during the full Moon a few nights ago?" Emily asked making me nod.
"If any of us look at a full Moon, then it's like us getting possessed. We will do everything that the Moon commands. And because I saw the a full Moon a few nights ago, it led me to finding a similar Moon Pool on an island, which gave me a new ability."
"Can we see your powers?" Paul asked with his deep voice next to me. I nodded and twisted my hand, pointing it at the glass full of water on the table, making it turn into a jelly-like substance. "Wow!"
"I can do a lot more, but not here," I said making everyone nod. "Any more questions?"
"Can you change with any liquid touching you?" Jared asked. I nodded in response.
"But not blood," I replied. "There are also a few liquids that a friend of mine tested out on me, and some didn't turn me."
Silence overtook the place as I waited for anything to happen, for someone to say something. When I remembered something. "Is there a reason why you call yourselves a pack?"

I saw everyone tense while looking at Paul. I turned to look at him and he sighed. "Do you remember the Quileute legends?" I nodded in response. "Well they are all true. Me, your brother, Jared, Embry, Sam and the Clearwater's can shapeshift into wolves."
I took in the information. I already had a feeling that they could cause I overheard their conversation about imprints, which led me to researching a lot of things. "Can you show me?"
Everyone nodded eagerly and took my outside. I watched in wonder as they all started shaking with anger and soon larger than bears, were a pack of wolves. Sam was a giant black wolf, Jared was a giant brown wolf, Embry was a giant grey wolf, Jake was a russet wolf with similar height to Sam's wolf, and Paul was a stunning silver wolf.
"Wow!" I said as I stepped closer to Paul's wolf carefully. He lowered himself down as I came closer. I slowly reached out and run my hand through his fur. "You're beautiful. All of you."
I heard Dad and Emily chuckle behind me. "Come Jade. Let's give them some privacy."
I nodded at his words, before kissing Paul's wolf snout. I then turned around and went back inside.
What a day.

Cosmic Bulldozing Team
"Welcome to the Cosmic Bulldozing Team! CBT for short... references to any other acronyms are purely coincidental." Breve has one exceptional gift: an inborn potential for Resurrection magic. The cost? Every other healing spell she casts is absolutely paltry in comparison to the rest of her race, making her family outcasts within her society. That potential alone, however, classes Breve as a Rank A Healer. By what metric? Well, by the crazy elf lady who’s about to destroy her planet. Wait, what? Here's the low-down: her planet has been targeted by the Cosmic Bulldozing Team, which, as their name suggests, operates in the apparently lucrative business of destroying planets. This comes with the unfortunate side-effect of also murdering everyone who lives there. And Breve would’ve been killed, too, if she hasn’t unintentionally passed their audition for a new healer. Unwillingly saved by the people who just annihilated everything Breve ever knew and loved, she’s dragged into a massive spaceship before, without a moment’s reprieve, being assigned missions to sally forth and commit the same atrocities on other planets. And with Breve's home lying in a pile of celestial bedrock, it seems that cooperating is the only option. And she will cooperate, or so help her, they'll send her back whence she came: into the void of space, where the smashed rubble of her planet now drifts along. "Buckle in, rookie: you've got some planetary destruction ahead of you." (Updates every 2 days.)
8 89Up In Space
New chapter every other day Iain Compton never planned to be abducted by an alien spaceship. It just… happened. And now he’s been awakened 22,000 years in the future and half a galaxy away by a pair of oddly human seeming beak nosed aliens and a space ship A.I. that seems to have more than a few screws loose. Oh, and then there's this gorgeous alien woman who he probably shouldn’t trust at all. His plan is to find a way home to Earth, even if its unlikely to be remotely the same; to find a better class of companions among an often strange and inexplicable galactic community, at least one who won’t use him or sell him out at the first opportunity; and to do something about the parasites in his brain who are supposed to connect him to a library the size of the galaxy, but seem to only be telling him that almost everyone and everything he comes across wants to kill him. But at least he can still send tweets.
