We were in the water which was surprisingly warm for being a billion miles beneath the surface of the ocean. This might have had to do with the super-expensive looking gizmos combined with the glowing Nordic runes and effervescent crystals embedded on my scuba suit that kept whirring and blinking with all the colors of the rainbow.

I glanced around, but couldn’t see beyond the end of the flashlight in my hand. Its beam extended only a couple feet into the distance before being swallowed by dark water, but at least it was something. Still, it left me wondering why my mother considered Stephen and Donovan to be bad guys. All things considered, it didn’t really make a lot of sense to rescue me from the rescuers.

I swallowed, still unused to breathing through my Darth Vader mouthpiece, and tried to keep calm like Esmer— my mother— had told me. The more I panicked, the more oxygen I would use. Running out of air didn’t exactly seem fun. Then again, I wasn’t even breathing air. I was breathing some kind of weird nitrogen mixture so my lungs wouldn’t explode. Man… even the air wasn’t genuine.

I glanced back toward where the submarine should have been but couldn’t see it through the inky blackness. I wished once again that my mother had brought a bigger vehicle. Why we hadn’t taken her submarine was immediately clear when we hit the water. Her ship was designed only for one person, so I wasn’t going to fit.

Also, since she’d cut a hole in Donovan’s submarine, if she detached, water would rush inside, killing both him and Stephen. Since they were alive, well as alive as a werewolf and undead vampire could be, albeit unconscious, this seemed like a particularly bad plan since they were supposed to be her colleagues. Then again, for all I knew, Stephen would be fine. He was a vampire, so maybe he didn’t need to breathe.

I suppose we could have taken them with us, but well, mom didn’t want to do that for reasons she hadn’t quite explained. This meant that now I was swimming under the ocean with my adoptive mother’s hand locked in a death grip.

Still, part of me was glad we were leaving them behind. There was something about Donovan that made him hard to trust, and well, I wasn’t sure I could trust Stephen either because, after all, I was leverage. Esmeralda, on the other hand, had come all this way just to save me. If I couldn’t trust her, I was screwed.

Already, my legs were starting to burn from the effort of kicking, which was lame because as I watched my mom and tried to mimic her perfect, mermaid-like strides… I just couldn’t. My kicks were all disjointed, and I kept swinging my flashlight around at every shadow. This made my body start to spin, and I’d have to kick again to right myself. It was getting very tiring.

“I still don’t think this is a wise way for
