Bat sat down on the rock ledge.

She looked below and saw the waves crash against the rocks.

She slowly stood up and placed her toes at the very edge of the cliff.

She took a deep breath and jumped.

Before she fell to her death she opened up her wings that lay under her arms.

The were see through and grey.

They looked like the wings of a bat.

Which is how she got her name, she pulled herself up and was gliding over the big blue.

She spotted her friend Everett on shore he was just finishing his change from human to mermaid.

He jumped into the waves and followed her shadow under the water.

Bat smiled to herself, this entire time she was getting over the fact that she may never be loved, again.

Everett seemed to have been chosen just for her.

He was strong and brave and nothing stood in his way...except when there was a bad storm coming.

She swooped down close to the water and waited.

Everett jumped up in mid air and gave her a wet slippery high five. They were ready to face their death.

She was off to find her voice and he was off to find true love.

But he beat her at that.

His love now hovering over his ocean.

and he loved her for it.
