Aquamarine's pov

-

The waves washed over me like I was a dead whale on the shore. The water from the sky pricked my face and the heavy wind brushed against my skin. My stomach stung, I've never felt this pain before. It felt like a heat was coursing through my body and burning ever so hot

I closed my eyes, maybe this was it. The end of my trail, Atleast I died single and not in the arms of a man

"What the hell-" a voice came from next to me. I peeked through and saw it was a human, she tripped onto the sand and her knees rested on my chest.

Oh the pain! The fucking pain! My stomach ached even more as a stinging sensation pierced into my stomach. I could physically feel the blood gushing out. I closed my eyes shut as I tried to maintain my breathing.

It's something I always did, when there is pain, it's good to control your breathing.

I could physically feel the girl's eyes on my body, she looked from my head, to my stomach

"I'll get you help" she mumbled. Oh please, I'm the Princess of Atlantis, I don't need anyone's help and certainly not a humans'

I threw my eyes open and they landed on her face. As if magically, my heart skipped a beat. She was beautiful, her short hair was soaked and slicked back giving her jawline a better frame. Her lips were slightly parted as panic shot through her eyes. I've never seen such a beautiful creature before, but now's not the time for gawking

"Yes, a mermaid, you humans are so slow" I groaned and rolled my eyes. I needed to get the hell off this sand and check whatever is going on with my stomach. Her eyes met my tail-

Annnnnddd, she went down. The girl's eyes rolled back into her head and she fell flat on her back. I rolled my eyes and propped myself on my elbows.

"You have got to be kidding me" I mumbled, I allowed her to lay there on the sand. The rain continued to pour onto us.

My eyes met my stomach, the red liquid oozed out with ease. I couldn't let this go on forever. I closed my eyes and swallowed a lump in my throat.

The cold air entered my nose and filled my lungs before escaping again. I regulated my breathing, the current flow through my veins, the energy bubbled in my blood as it flowed from my arms and trailed to my stomach. The open flesh pealed together, it looked as if it was stitching itself.

Where there was an open wound, was now nothing but skin. The waves carried away the stale blood that lingered on my waist. My wound was now healed, I felt the energy fade away and I opened my eyes

"Much better" I mumbled and smiled on my healed stomach

My eyes then went over to the girl, I rolled my eyes and propped myself on my back, my arms stretched into the air and I felt the energy course through my veins again

My palms opened like a flower lily and formed a shield over my body. The rain bounced off my palm and landed on the sand, avoiding any inch of my skin

The lack of water moisture caused my tail to sting. I groaned in pain as the scales moved around. I looked down and saw toes

"Holy shit" I gasped

"I have feet!"

The green and purple scales faded into long creamy legs, within seconds it had completely disappeared. I smiled to myself as I stood onto my feet. I was completely nude with my hair flowing over my breast, covering my nipples. Everything else was pretty much exposed

My hands were still in the air covering me from the pouring rain. I glanced down and saw the girl was still unconscious

"Ugh for fuck sakes" I rolled my eyes and kicked her awake.

What else was I supposed to kiss? Give her true love's kiss?

"What the?" she stirred awake, her eyes blinked rapidly. I covered her from the rain and hovered over her body

"Are you okay?" I questioned

"Yeah... I swore I saw a-"

"Mermaid, yes you did" I said sternly, she furrowed her brows as she looked me up and down, her cheeks suddenly turned red

"See something you like?" I questioned

"You're naked! You don't look like a merma- oh my God what are you doing with your hands!" she yelled

"Making sure you don't drown" I rolled my eyes

"What the fuck is going on! I'm dreaming, I'm definitely dreaming"

"You think mermaids look this hot in your dreams? Ptf" I scoffed

"Who are you?"

"Someone who's lost" I sighed

"Do you need help calling someone?" she asked

"What do you mean by call?"

"You know... Do you wanna get in contact with a relative to take you home?" she asked

"I don't have a home anymore" I mumbled, the girl looked at me with puzzled eyes

"How are you doing that with your hands?" she asked

"Shielding us from the rain, Obviously"

"No... No there's no way... I'm just hallucinating, yes. That's it" the girl panicked on the floor. I scoffed

"You know what, I wanted to help you. But you're just wasting my time. See you around kid" I said and started walking

The feeling wasn't all that new to me, I've seen my legs before but I've never actually went on land before to use them. I sat on iceburgs and watched my toes and that was it

I had no clue where I was heading to but I wasn't gonna stand there and talk to a dumbass

My feet moved forward and my eyes scanned frantically around the area. I noticed stairs leading into a backyard and so I marched right over

The next thing I knew, I was in a building, golden lights met my skin as I entered the kitchen area.

"What is this place" I mumbled to myself and I looked around

Wood boxes were nailed to the walls, my fingers ran over a long metal tube, it hand a handle, I pressed it and water sprouted out the tube

"What sorcery is this!" I hissed at the water

"What the fuck are you doing in here!" a familiar voice came from behind me

I spun around to see the short haired girl with her arms crossed as she looked at me

"What is this metal tube?" I asked

"It's a pipe, do you not know what a pipe is?"

"A pipe.... Interesting" I said in amusement, I pressed the handle again and the water poured it even more

"Agh! It hates me!" I screamed, the girl groaned and walked over.

She turned the handle in the opposite direction and the water stopped instantly

"You need to leave before I call the cops" she warned

"What are the ?"

"What th- did you hit your head a little too hard or something?"

"No, I washed up on shore" I smiled sweetly

"Yeah, I'm gonna go call the cops. You have two minutes to leave" she said and pulled a metal box from the rags covering her body

"What is that?"

"A phone" she said and pressed her slender fingers across the box before placing it towards her ear

"Yes, hello? I'd like to report a break in... I think? I'm not sure what happened but I found this woman on the beach. I think she escaped from a mental institution" the girl said. I drowned out her voice and turned around to the wooden boxes on the walls

"Canned sardine? What is my fiance doing here?" I mumbled to myself

I continued to ravage through the stacks of food items, there was something called corn, spaghetti sauce? And a bunch of beans

"The humans eat garbage, interesting" I said and moved away from the box with a can in my hand

"Hey! What are you doing!" she yelled and grabbed the tin from my hand, I shrugged and walked away

"At first I thought I was hallucinating and she as bleeding but she wasn't. Then She ran away and now the naked woman is in my hous-" she stopped her sentence when the can fell from her hands

My reflexes kicked in and my hands held out. I used my powers from across the room, I felt the energy course through my veins and the tan stopped in the middle on the air, it floated before her eyes and moved to the table

"What the fuc-" she dropped her metal box attached to her ear, and it fell to the hard floor

"Don't faint on me again" I said laughing, my hands dropped to my sides and the can was rested next to her. She grabbed the can and examined it back to front

"Hello, ma'am? Are you there?" a voice came from the metal box on the floor

"Fascinating, it speaks" I said in awe as I bent down towards the device

"Did you trap a human in this?" I asked. She looked at me with disbelief

"What the hell am I to do now" the girl sighed and ran her hand through her hair before grabbing the device

"Yeah, I'm so sorry. My sister tried to prank call you. I apologize again" she said before ending the call

"Who was that?"

"The police" she said

"You mean the MerPatrol?"

"The what?"

"MerPatrol, it's the mermen that keep order in our kingdom. I wanted to be like them but... My father said its no job for a woman" I sighed

"MerPatrol...youre a mermaid!" she exclaimed

"I've said so before, why wouldn't you believe me?"

"Because it's impossible! Creatures like that don't exist, and you have powers!"

"Hold up, creatures? Sweetheart you're the one with feet"

"That's normal!"

"No it isn't!" I hissed

"Yes it is!"

"No it's no-"

"Are we gonna argue about this all night? I'm tired and I need to rest. I've used my powers way too much today" I said

"You can't stay here" she said

"Then where will I go?"

"Back to where you came from"

"Oh wow, wooooowww" I gasped

"Dammit, that sounds racist"

"Damn right it's MerCist" I spat and crossed my arms

"I'm sorry okay? I've never met anyone that's not... Human" she sighed and hopped onto the desk

"And I have no idea where I am or where to go. Let me stay for the night

.. Please?" I begged

I'm a woman of class, this begging thing isn't for me. But sometimes you need to put aside your pride

"Fine. One night, but you have got to go tomorrow, my parents will be home and I don't know what to tell them" she said

"Thank you thank you" I giggled and hugged her tightly, our wet bodies pressed against each other

I pulled away and noticed a familiar bright pink colour on her cheek. She looked down and focused on her hands

"What?" I asked

"Y-you're naked..." she whispered

"Don't all humans walk around lifeless like this?" I asked

"N-no, we wear clothes" she mumbled

"Where can I find this... Clothes?" I asked

"I have some, I could lend you for the night" she said

"Thank you human" I smiled

"Stop calling me human"

"Then what should I call you?"

"My name is Beverly"

"Nice to meet you Beverley, I'm Aquamarine" I smiled and held my hands out for her to shake, she took them in hers and I felt a weird static run through my veins

"Agh, what the heck was that" I hissed as I pulled away

"You felt that too?" she asked as she clutched her hands. I nodded slowly

"It's probably just my powers acting up, I had a long day" I mumbled

"You could take a shower, follow me" she said as she hopped off the desk and walked into another section of the room

She headed up the stairway and I followed her, my eyes trailed over her body. The wet rags- I mean, clothes- hugged her figure. She was slim and had a certain amount of curves in the right places, I raised a brow as I watched her

"Shower is in there, I'll get you a towel" she mumbled. I furrowed my brows at her

"What is a shower?"
