Chapter Fourteen

Atlantis

Planet: Earth

Ann followed Hathor through the door they found at the bottom of Lake Solitaire. Turning into a mermaid happened quickly after she’d finished eating her fish. She didn’t even have time to take off her pants, which she assumed she would have to do since her legs turned into a large fish tail.

Instead, her clothes changed into the tail along with her legs. Her natural reaction had been to hold her breath when she swam into the water. Hathor breathed in the water as soon as he went under the water, so when she realized he was breathing without any problems, she gained the courage to take in a timid breath. To her surprise, it wasn’t any different from breathing air.

Now as they swam through the door, her gaze fell on the submarine in the distance. Beyond that, she recognized a city. She wondered what the Augurs had brought them there for. Were the Augurs in the submarine?

They swam over to the submarine, and she gasped in shock when she read United States of America on the side of it.

“Are we on Earth?” Hathor asked her.

“We must be.” She shook her head in amazement. Glancing back in the direction from which they came, she replied, “It looks like we crossed through some kind of portal that made intergalactic travel easy.”

Curious, she inched closer to the submarine, examining it. It didn’t look as big as the naval submarines she had seen when she lived on this planet. What was it doing here?

She looked at the city that loomed in front of them. “I think the people here are studying that city over there.”

“Do you have people who live under the water on Earth?”

“No. Human beings on Earth don’t live in the water. We don’t have merpeople here either.” She glanced at him. “Well, at least, not that I know of.”

“I see someone,” he whispered. He swam closer to her in an instinctive reaction.

She smiled at his desire to protect her. Turning her attention to the person in the scuba gear, she pondered whether or not to introduce herself. “Does that person look like an Augur?”

He shrugged. “It’s hard to tell with that heavy outfit on him. It could be anyone.”

“Should we talk to him? The Augurs are expecting us to meet them here.”

“Hold on.”

She watched as he went over to a group of rocks and picked one up that fit nicely in his hand.

When he was next to her again, he said, “Just in case this person will try to hurt us, we can defend ourselves.” He hid the rock behind his back. “Stay close. I don’t want him near you if he’s dangerous.”

She nodded, letting him know she wouldn’t take any unnecessary risks.

They swam up to the person who was heading for the submarine. The person looked at them and dropped his camera.

Startled, Ann turned to Hathor. “Drop the rock. He’s not a threat.”

Hathor obeyed her.

They quickly swam over to him.

“We’re not going to hurt you,” Hathor assured him.
