Misty didn't believe him for a second, he may have felt fine, but if the wound got infected it would be bad. She watched him as he sat down and then turned on her heels and ran towards the cave system. She took a flying leap and dived into the water feeling her body shift back to it's normal form. She swam through cave after cave until she got back out to the ocean. Her mind raced with different things the healer used, she wasn't sure if they worked as well on humans as they did mermaids, but it was worth a shot. She collected some seaweed and was about to head back when she saw another of the mutants. She ducked behind a rock hoping it didn't see her, but her hopes were crushed when it took off towards her. 

[i]Shit[/i] She thought as she took off away from the island swimming as fast as she could weaving in and out of the rocks. The mutations looked like it was part shark part octopus. Whatever it was she didn't want anything to do with it. She swam faster twisting around a rock so that when the mutations went past the rock it passed her. She took back off the way she had come and went up the beach line holding the seaweed in her hand. She was half way up the beach when she heard her name. 

"Misty? What are you doing out here?" A familiar voice demanded. She spun on her heel and saw one of her father's top fighters. "There are mutations all over this part of the sea! You need to go back to the shimmer, it's safer there. Plus, there is a human here." 

Misty's heart was in her stomach. She felt like she was going to be sick, she was friends with Erick, but if he told her father she would never be allowed to leave again. She took a deep breath as she thought about what Erick had said. Tried to figure out what to say. 

"I know there is a human here, I brought him here." She said glancing at Erick knowing she was done for. 

"WHAT!" He demanded storming towards her and stopping a few feet away his arms crossed. "What do you mean [i]you[/i] brought him here?" 

"He was going to die, Erick! I couldn't let him die!" Misty replied looking at the seaweed in her hands. "He's hurt, a mutant attacked him, I've got to help him until the others can find him." 

"Do you know how dangerous this is? What would your father say?!" Erick growled out. 

"Please don't tell my father, listen he thinks I'm human. I'm not going to slip up, I promise. Just until his kind finds him, please Erick don't tell my father!" Misty begged as she looked back up at Erick. 

"Fine, but I want to meet this human that you're willing to risk our entire species over." Erick growled. 

"You'll need clothes." Misty replied with a thankful smile. She ran through the woods with Erick on her tail and found her small stash of clothing. She didn't have much in the way of male clothes, but she managed to find a pair of shorts and tank top for Erick. She pulled back on the bikini she had been in earlier and slipped towards where she had left Shane the seaweed in hand.
