9 Mermaid Magic

CHAPTER 9

Mermaid Magic At Mermaid's Cove, the pink coral sand sparkled in the afternoon sun. Lucas and Clara kicked off their shoes and walked along the beach, looking for the perfect spot. "Here's a good place," said Clara as she got down on her knees. Lucas looked on as Clara wrote a message in the sand with a thin stick. Dear mermaids, Queen Tasha's emerald is lost in the sea off Hob's Cliff. Can you help us find it? Thank you for all the beautiful shells.

Love, Your friend Clara Lucas laughed. "You're crazy," he said. Clara laughed. "I'm also hungry. Let's have our picnic." Clara unwrapped the treats that the fairies had given them. Then she and Lucas sat by the far end of the cove. They talked and laughed and nibbled on bread, cheese, and grapes. Lucas smiled at Clara. "I may not have found my mother's emerald," he said, "but I have found one thing." "What?" asked Clara.

"A real friend," Lucas said. "Me too," said Clara. "I'm glad we can spend time together." Lucas nodded. "We'd better get going. The sun's starting to set." Lucas and Clara dipped their toes in the water as they walked down the beach. "Look at your message," said Lucas. "It's already been washed away by the tide."

"Shall I write it again?" asked Clara. "No, let's just head home," Lucas said. "We can come back tomorrow." They sat on a rock to put on their shoes, but some shells caught Clara's attention. "Wow, these are beautiful," she said.
