Misty had seen some of the things that the Russians had made, she had been chased by one of them and helped the guards kill it when it followed her all the way home to one of the mermaid safe zones. They were horrible things, it would be one thing if they were making things that would be nice, would work well with the environment. But they were making things that were killed and destroying the natural creatures when they got out. They didn't get out much, Misty knew her father had even made a team that hunted the mutations down in hopes of protecting the sea creatures. When she watched the team move in, watched them start to lose the fight she found it harder and harder to stay hidden. She wanted so desperately to go in and help save the humans that she had grown fond of!
She watched in vein as the team backed up, all but one of them, regrouped and got ready to go back in, that's when all hell really broke lose. Something exploded, the shockwave sent her back and put a halt to the team going back in to save their other member. The explosion had killed the majority of the mutations and she knew they ones that had escaped wouldn't last long once her father's team found them. But what she was more concerned with was the man that was pushed too far for his team to find him. The man that had been closest to the explosion. She took off at full speed after him, her heart dropping when she saw his limp form. She had to get him out of the water. The bubbles coming from his tank meant he wouldn't have the oxygen that he needed to survive.
She pushed faster through the water snatching the man as she swam past him towards the surface of the water. He was heavy, but she was a strong swimmer and she could breathe. Once she surfaced she yanked the gadget that was on his face off and managed to get the tank that was attached to his back off also so he wouldn't be so heavy. He still didn't stir though, she could tell he was alive, but he was unconscious. She couldn't just leave him here, he would die! She quickly swam towards a small island that the humans never went to. She couldn't risk being seen dragging him to shore, she wouldn't be able to hide what she was!
As soon as she got to the beach she pulled him up as far as she could until she had to drag herself to shore, her legs turning to human legs. She quickly grabbed his shoulders and pulled him up further on the beach making sure he was breathing. There was a small cut on his forehead and it had started to bleed a little more once he was out of the water. She ran quickly back into the ocean diving down to a deeper spot and grabbing a handful of some of the seaweed the healer used on cuts. She hurried back where she had left the man and quickly cleaned off the cut applying the seaweed the way she had been taught.
Biting her lip she looked around. She couldn't stay, couldn't risk being seen, but she wanted to make sure he was ok. She quickly ran towards the inner part of the island and hide behind some of the trees wanting to wait until he woke up before she went back out to sea. Found a way to let someone know where he was!
