Angel:

I nodded as Atticus jumped into what I imagine is very cold water. I looked around for any signs of movement in the water and sat down on my knees in front of the water, leaning down with the bucket to fill it with water, I was about to pull the bucket out when it became too have and well right down into the water, sinking.

"Shit!" I muttered under my breath and took of my sweater, putting my whole arm under water to search around for the bucket, how deep can it be? When I thought I felt something hard, I grabbed it and pulled it out only to scream loudly at the thing staring back at me. I had grabbed the mermaid by her tail, my hands slippery.

"EWW!" I yelled, wiping it off on my pants. I hadn't noticed the girl looking at me with an amused face.

"What?" I snapped rudely. She just kept staring at me with an amused face. She reached out to touch me legs, but I flinched away fast, making her furrow her brows. She opened her mouth and let out an unrecognisable word.
