She who Treads on The Sea

A Heavy Tiara

A dark skin girl placed a cold metal tiara upon my head. My eyes found her tail. Lightning blue scales covered it, fading into her stomach. Her eyes were a lighter blue with green. Her dreads had white and light blue seashells woven into them. She's gorgeous.

"Your stunning" she laughed quietly and bowed, "thank you, your highness. As are you." She winked at me and swam out of my room. I smiled lightly, maybe I could make friends.

I felt the same agonizing pain in my temples again. My eyes squeezing shut. I felt a huge warm hand on my shoulder, Open your eyes, Princess. You control your power, not the other way around" my father looked at me through my mirror and nodded.

My eyebrows coming together as I concentrated on nothing. I noticed my veins on my neck and next to my left eye glow blue. I closed my eyes and took back my power. My forearms finding my vanity as I slumped against it, taking in a deep breath. My back hurts. I looked at my father through the mirror and he nodded. I did it.

I could feel my eyes tickle and when I looked at myself my Irises were a pale blue. I huffed and put my head down. "J just don't wanna scare anyone." My voice almost broke, but my newfound power wouldn't let me be vulnerable. Father told me that my power is leaking dominance that the others can't fight, they are the submitted. So I need to control it, or my power will try to feed off their fear and obedience.

I would never. Over my dead body. I could feel myself slowly freaking out again. Panic attack. I could feel my fins on my back go up threatening anything in my presence.

I let out a strangled sob trying to fight the pain. Fun fact everyone forgot to warn me. When forcing your power into submission, it hurts you physically to get you to submit also.

I could feel my gums stinging like needles were being pricked into them. My fangs slowly biting the inside of my cheeks. My nails slightly elongating while holding myself, stabbing my sides.

I could feel the worry from Miro, Bella, and my Father in waves. My tail becoming rigid and darkening a bit.

The water went still. I let out a breath I was holding came out as new filters air enters my gills calming me down. My eyes returning normal and my body becoming relaxed. My nails slowly taking their right form and my teeth going back. My aura calming down while everyone takes in a deep breath.

"I'm fine." I lied.
