My Merman

14. Chapter

_George's POV_

I woke up in a strange, dark cave. It had no exit - the only thing I could see was a water curtain and a pool of water so deep, I wouldn't be able to see the bottom. I looked around to see a weird looking thing, lying on the floor a few feet away from me.

I tried to get up but i was struck by an incredible pain in my leg. I whined and held onto it.

"Finally up. We've got to talk." I turned my head around and saw a mermaid, leaned against the edge of the pool. She looked pissed.

"You've gotta stop fucking around, George. Come home." her eyes were filled with anger.

"I'm sorry... I don't remember you..."

"Great..." she scoffed.  "Can't remember your own sister because the pretty blonde bitch messed your mind."

"I-"

"I'm not joking. You saved a human. A FUCKING HUMAN. And you became one, too," she pointed at my legs and said: "I bet you don't even want to return back, do you?"

I just looked at her. I was kinda scared of her, honestly.

"That's what I thought. Alright, I guess Imma have to burst your bubble about your loverboy."

I eyed the waterfall. I couldn't walk, but if I yelled he could maybe hear me and...

"Do you remember the night mom was killed? When people stabbed an iron pole trough her heart?" I looked at her. Wait... I've had dreams about this before, how did she...

"Remember the name of the ship?"

Pandora's vault. That's what the dreams were about. They were... Flashbacks?

"Yea... Pandora's Vault... Right?"

"Yup." she nodded. "And you know who it belonged to?"

Long, awkward pause. "Him."

I'm going insane... I can't find him anywhere

_George's POV_

"What do you mean... him?"

"Mister lover man, Clay. It belonged to his dad who hunt down dozens of mermaids, including you and mom. He used to kill them for fun, maybe sell our tails to the black market. And you know, he used to do it too, your chosen one, you know? I met him in Tortuga, getting a crew. I can't remember his exact words when he sailed off, but they weren't nice, darling."

I slowly dragged myself further away from her.

"That's not true. Tell me, it's not true." The corners of my eyes started to get wet.

"Clay wouldn't do that. He wouldn't..."

"You're so naive, brother. HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU! He wants your tail or happiness from killing you."

Tears started to escape my eyes. There's no way. There's no way...
