Mermaids in the lake (2)

"Are you going down there?", Talia asked when she saw that Tatiana was taking deep breaths.

"Yes." Tatiana didn't know why, but she was uneasy and she needed to check on Kalina.

"What if they are not there? What if they come out?", Talia tried to reason with Tatiana.

"If they are not there, then I'm worrying for naught. But just in case…" Tatiana's brows furrowed. "You wait here. If they come out, tell them not to go down until I come back. I want to scold Lina for being so carefree. Doesn't she know that I worry sick about her? She can try any stunt she wants when I'm not around, but in my presence, I need her safe."

"What if they are fine?", Talia asked.

"Then I will dive in for no reason.", Tatiana said. "She is my baby sister and I'm restless. I need to do this."

Talia could see Tatiana's determination. "Alright. Be careful."

After Tatiana disappeared underwater, everything became peaceful.
