CHAPTER SIX

Charlie followed the two merladies through his yard, into the woods and onto a trail, which came out just down the street from his home. He laughed in secret. If he had realized where they were taking him, he would have just brought them through the front yard and to the street.

The girls were easily sidetracked as they sauntered through the town. More than once, Charlie had to stop the girls from accosting female tourists wearing shiny jewelry that the girls wanted to look at, and touch. They also turned many heads, as it wasn't often that blue-haired, barefooted ladies walked down the streets, even on The Demon Isle.

“Remember, you are taking me to save your sister,” Charlie chided lightheartedly, after apologizing to a third woman the merladies had accosted. She’d worn exuberantly colored, oversized earrings that they would have surely pulled out of the woman's ears if Charlie had not intervened.

“Yes. Sister,” one said.

“Sorry,” spoke the other.

“Yes. Sorry. So many shiny things.”

“This way, Charlie who is a Howard.”

One of the merladies took hold of his hand, pulling him forward.

“Not far now.”

They hurried along, taking a side street, which came out on the backside of several shops. They scurried in between garbage cans and parked cars, hopping onto a trail that shortly came out to the shore. The path veered suddenly, now following alongside the water's edge. Soon, the merladies led Charlie off the pathway and onto a small stony beach.

“Not far. Not far,” one of the sisters repeated. The path was narrow, forcing them to walk single file. The sisters were cautious not to touch the salty water, to keep their human feet from turning into flippers.

Charlie stepped cautiously, following as they worked their way around a jagged, rocky corner. He was surprised when they rounded the corner that there was a cave entrance.

“This is where we change,” one of them revealed. She spoke as if this had been a long held secret.

“When we come to land,” the other finished.

It’s the perfect hiding spot for a mermaid to dry out, Charlie thought.

They had to duck to enter, but once inside, there was plenty of space to stand up straight. Once in, Charlie saw the trapped sister instantly.

“Sisters,” she cried out.

“We are here.”

“Yes, we found Howard.”

“You really got yourself into quite a mess,” Charlie noted as he took a closer look.

“Yes. Mess. Hurts.”

“Don't worry. I'm going to get you out of here.” He flashed a bright smile and winked, which seemed to calm the trapped merlady.

Charlie knelt down trying to figure out where to begin. The merlady was completely ensnared by an old fishing net, which kept her unable to walk or swim. Charlie took out a pocketknife and painstakingly cut piece after piece of the net, slowly freeing her. After about twenty minutes, he finally cut the last line and she was free.

The merlady leaned forward, planting a grateful kiss on Charlie’s lips. It only lasted a moment, but when she pulled away, he had to rub his lips together to stave off a tinge of numbness.
