Layla's POV

Who are you?
Where are you?
Why can't I describe to you what's going on in my head?

     "Layla!? Where are you going? Why is the water moving like this." He called out and the water went silent. My body stopped and freeze in the suddenness of his presence.
     "What? How did I get here?"
"You were following the water and it was moving?"
     "What are you doing here? How did you get here? How did I get here?" I tried to play dumb but I'm not sure if I'll be able to make him believe me.
     "You can't do this Henry! Please reconsider!" Jess pleaded as she flu closer and closer.
"Layla stop playing dumb. What were you doing?"
     "Henry listen to me!"
"STOP! EVERYONE STOP!"

     A bright light illuminated and my surrounding turned into the galaxy. The stars were so close to my reach that I could just snatch them up and put them in my pocket. Every one was frozen in time except for me.
     "Now -ocean- what was it that you wanted to show me?"
"It's not the ocean that's been wanting to talk with you." then water started becoming a face then the face had a body and finally a woman was formed from water.
     "Ahhhhh! You literally come out of the water! How the heck did you do that?" I wasn't curious about the woman I was curious about how I could learn to do that.
     "Layla, my dear, you must calm down. I don't have much time before you spell starts to wear away." She had a crown placed upon her loose blonde hair and she was dressed in a white flowy dress that had an ocean blue fade towards the bottom.
     "Who are you?" I questioned as I stepped closer- now only releasing that the lady before me had no name yet she know my own.
     "I'll tell you once you release Henry. I need to speak to the both of you."
"But I don't know to."
     "Think about the person whom you want to release and it'll happen."

     'Henry-David' I thought (not knowing which of his names to use) and then with a suddenness Henry fall to the floor. He looked at me, his eyes were gentle, and then he looked at the woman besides me. He got up before kneeling down on one foot and saying: "My lady."
     "Your lady?" I questioned as I looked between the two of them.
"It's been so long since we last meet, David."
     "It's has indeed."
She smiled at him with a compassionate smile for what seemed to be an eternity before speaking again,"Sorry to do this so suddenly but we must leave before the spell wears off and I'm exposed to the living world."
     "Yes, we must."

     With that my hand was grabbed gently by Henry's and I was pulled across a secret passage in the ocean. As we walked down the passage there was a protective barrier which made the water beneath our feet solid and as soon as we lifted our feet it became water once more. The barrier also stopped the water from drowning us as we walked to wherever we were walking to. The fishes swam passed us but immediately turned back as soon as they saw me though the water lady shoed them away with a swift move of her hand.

     "Where are you taking me," I questioned as I tried to caught up with the water lady but Henry's hand stopped me, "and why are you coming along?"
     "Henry is the only one who will be able to... Protect you."
"Protect me from what?"
     "From them." Miss water lady said as an opening appeared in the barrier and as I looked down I could see what she meant by needing protection.

     There were three humans but with gills as there ears and scales which ran com down there bodies. There toes and fingers were jointed by thin but strong pieces of skin to make fins for quicker swimming. In all they were the type of things people would come up with in movies but unfortunately for me this wasn't a movie.

     "We must not let them see her or else..." Henry shook his head and a new blanket of water began to cover me. Henry still held my hand though this time his grip was a lot stronger. It was a lot more comforting and it made me smile as I stared down at the sight. If only Jess could see us, how angry she would be.
     "No, don't think that way, Layla." I said to myself. The dark Layla has been wanting to come out to play for a while now but I just can't let her. I can't let Henry see that side of me.
     "Layla, did you say something?" Henry popped his head into my bubble.

     His hair was wet and some strains were in his eyes, he looked so cute I just wanted to... Suddenly something happened and we lost control of the the situation, and our footing. Ocean water came hurtling down and the fish people started to swim towards us, aggressively. Henry's grip on me tighten some more though I tried not to pay it too much attention as we had bigger fish to fry. Lady water quickly formed a staff out of water, and told us to ran (actually to swim) and it was like Henry had been in this situation before, he knew exactly where to go. He took me to a ship that too had a protective barrier around it and there was air for us to breathe.

     "Where are we!? What were those fish people!? Who was that lady!? Why are we here!? What's-" I was silenced by the warmth of Henry's embrace. My heart was beating rapidly and it was no longer by the situation that I had no understanding of, but either Henry's touch on my body which was still warm even after he moved away from me. He looked at me was a with he's beautiful pink eyes and my heart smiled joyfully on my face.

     "You don't need to worry about that right now. Queen Aqua will soon anwers your questions." Henry said brushing my wet hair out of my face once more.
     "They have settled down now but it seems as if our time has come to an end. My time with the both of you has run out and I didn't even mange to answer at least one of your questions. Nor tell you why I wanted to speak with you." Queen Aqua said as she floated towards us.

     Her dress swayed from side to side and she looked as magical as the fairies in the movies and stories. For a moment I felt like I was no longer in reality and that everything was just a dream. Queen Aqua started to disappear as the ocean water became darker and darker and my body became more relaxed.
