Zora an island that Aleza cursed. Causing a lot of people afraid to visit it. She is the mermaid. The mermaid doing the craziest things to every new face visiting the island. No one knows the story behind it. People around the island are afraid to come out every night knowing that by 6 o'clock Aleza would be there on the shore or transform into a man and roam around.
Don Felipe my uncle witnessed how she destroyed the houses near the beach. Cursing every man. And killing those people harming her home. It has been a long time ago, and no one knows what happened.
All of those years, she keeps doing the curses and killing and no one knows why.
I never got the chance to see her. Father won't let me go near the shore or even in the outside of our home. But everyone knows that she has an alluring face that when you got to see her you wouldn't imagine that she's the mermaid that killed a lot of men. An alluring face that cursed those people who believe in love if that's true.
I am aluza almost have the same name as her. I don't exactly know why I have that name but father wouldn't tell me the reason for it.
I am his only daughter and we only have each other. Mother died giving birth to me, but a lot of people say that it was Aleza who killed my mother. I have no idea what happened to them or what's the truth but I badly wanted to ask Aleza because father won't answer me.
It's 4 p.m. I can't find where Father is, so I got the chance to go out and take a closer look at the shore. This is the first time that he left me alone in the house and I don't exactly know why and where he is. This is gonna be my first time for all of those years that I wasn't able to see the beauty of it. I badly wanted to see those sands and the famous rock formations that everyone adores. I want to see it in my own eyes rather than just a picture on the Internet. And I am 18 years old now, and I don't exactly remember the time that I have my freedom if I have, or to do everything I want.
Walking and being fascinated by how wonderful and breathtaking the view in front of me. I can't say anything. This is amazing.
The coconut trees, the salty taste of the air, the sands, and the warm weather. This is not what I imagine.
Father has been lying all this time. He told me that the shore or anything outside has nothing but danger. And by seeing it now in front of me I can say that I wasted years believing in nothing.
How can this wonderful view be a danger?
I roam around looking at the wonderful scenery, the waves, and following the little crab. I saw a hammock between those 2 not so high trees so I walked closer. I sat down and swing feeling the warm air. The warm breeze from the ocean made my eyes tired so before I could do anything I just dozed off.
A warm touch of a hand disturbs me from napping. As I open my eyes I saw a beautiful woman standing in front of me. She has this green dress that looks good on her. She is so beautiful. She has thin almond eyes, Rich ridges lips, broad tip nose, and a perfect oval face.
I'm just staring at her for I don't know how long now. But by just seeing how perfect her physical features are already enough to make me smile. I never saw anyone this perfect my whole life.
"You are beautiful miss. I'm sorry for staring at your face for a long time. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable." I said those words without realizing it.
"Are you living here or you're a tourist." I can feel the authority of her voice that made me trembled in fear.
"I-i'm not... I live here and I was born here." I said
"You are new to me. I didn't see you roaming around. Are you sure?" Humor is not visible and probably not her thing. She was just maintaining her straight face.
I am now sitting on the hammock and just staring at her picking the shell from the sands. I don't know what I'm gonna do so I decided to stand out from the hammock and join her picking those cute shells.
