Rarity by Haley Elizabeth (epub e ink reader txt) 📕

Vannah didn't like how suddenly they were speaking as if she weren't in the room. But Lexi was right did she want to find Leera after knowing what she did, but didnt she owe it to herself to hear the whole story. How did it end and what happend after Leera left her. Did she find her father and confront him did she get denied and live out her life regretting her poor decisions?" But how could she risk loosing Luka because reguardless of what she would find below she'd want to return to him and the society she was indebted to them they were more of a family then she could ever ask for and as far as Luka was concerned her song had bound them to one another just like Ruba's spell had bound her to dry land and nothing could keep them apart if it meant never returning to the ocean a world she'd missed out on she could live with it. But never without Luka looking over at him she knew he felt the same way and she knew he would wait for her to return and all that was ahead of them would be waiting too.

"How do I find the Lit City? Vannah asked interupting the debate about her future.

"Vannah you cant be considering going alone and what about the society,we can't protect you done there!" 

"You're apart of the U.G.I. Society?'' Dom asked.

"Yes the rest of our Unit is away on bussiness they rescued me from the mess and my imposter mother Trish!"

"Awesome I mean not the imposter part obviously but the society is so cool what unit are you in?" Dom asked.

Unit Two." Vannah said feeling agitated by all of Domina's pushing.

"I can take you to where your mother and I were all those years ago!" Lexi finnaly said

"But I am afraid only Saraphina can guide you to the city and Luka is right being that I am shunned from the sea you will have to go alone.  The Admiral sea is what mers call the sea of Saraphina. once you enter you must speak to her and she will show you the way. Understand you will never be the same and things between and Luka will be forbidden.

"So basically I have one shot to find my mother and then I may never see her again because I will choose Luka in the end there's is no doubt in my mind. Vannah thought

"This trip is simply for closure you know that right Luka?'' As Vannah asked this she relized that she was willing to choose a man over her own mother did that make them the same did that make her a hypocrit?"

"When do we leave?'' Dom asked with a clap.

"Shouldn't we wait for Arwin to get back?" Caroline asked.

"I was thinking we can call him and let him know whats going on." Vannah suggested.

"Wait Vannah this is spur of the moment are you prepared  espescially with everything thats going on out here are you sure about this?' Luka asked reasonably.

"I don't think I'll ever be prepared enough and I'll never be able to fully commit to the society as long as this is heavy on my mind I might not even find Leera its been so long that the Lit City could possibly not even exist anymore!"

"I doubt  that the Lit City is so well hidden and protected by defensive songs and not to mention the seabourne guards.

"The what?" Vannah asked feeling like her brain was near copasity for the day!"

"The totally gorgeous merman who protect the the city well atleast I imagine they are gorgeous. Dom said with an ear to ear smirk. Not that you have anything to worry about Luka!" She added

"There are defensive songs?" Luka asked ignoring the still smiling girl.

"Yes there are mer songs for just about everything!" Lexi told him.

"Can you teach them to Vannah so she can protect herself?"

"Mer songs can not be taught they simply in us and rise when nessesary."

"Like when I put my not brother Tucker to slee pthe song was just there  in mind like i'd always known it.

"Exactly the sleeping melody is a defensive song but can also be used in other ways but you already know that don't you Vannah?"

This made Vannah blush and want to change the subject.

"So basically anything I need is already within me and Saraphina will provide the rest. Vannah said this as a statement and not a question.

"Spoken like a true mer!" Lexi said sounding more up beat so if your minds made up I'll just give my husband a call and we can be on our way."

"And I'll go call Arwin, I left my phone in the car!' Caroline said standing and exciting the living room."

"I'll give you to some space Dom told them before following her mother up the open stair case that Vannah love.

"I only just got you Luka said in a voice that made Vannah feel awful."

"I know and you're not loosing me the laws mean nothing to me I belong here with you and the U.G.I.'s I'll be back and we will move on from this."

"What do you think you'll get from this wont you just be more heart what if she rejects you?"

"She already has done thet Luka I just want to hear it from her. I want her to tell me why?"

"I get it I do, I used to think about my parents all the time and if I had the chance to find them I'd take it I just wish you didn't have to enter The Sea of Saraphina without me."

They were close now a kiss forming on both of their lips.

When she kissed him she made sure he felt it all over and she made sure it didn't feel like goodbye and that no matter what he'd be waiting for more.

"Lexi and Dom both returned wearing sun glasses and carrying jackets.

"There is one more thing before we go." Lexi said while approaching Vannah.

''Whats that?" Vannah said prepared for the unexpected,

"Can I please hug you?"  Lexi asked.

"Vannah opened her arms and embraced her aunt which brought tears back to their eyes.

  "Wait Lexi the music box does it work underwater ? " Vannah had been thinking of anyway possible not be alone on this trip and the tiny box came to mind.  Of course Lexi's eyes got big that way we would still be able to communicate.  It's back at the cottage will you follow us to grab it?
