❝     rikki ?!     ❞         the young mermaid yelled for the other,     the trip to mako island only taking a few seconds.     she was huffing,     her dampened hair falling in her face,     and the fish tail clinging to her hips.       although,     a sudden noise coming from the drop into the cave only caused a slight panic in her being and cleo poked her head back into the water,   hoping whomever had found the cave hadn’t seen her.
