To hate is a lazy thing, but to love that takes strength everyone has but is not willing to use. -Rupi Kapur
Sitting alone in this atrocity of a cave. My mind wandered, my dad, my brother. I wonder if they're okay, if the storm affected them in any way. Is our boat okay?
I grab a dull rock that was about the size of my palm. Placed to the left of me and began to draw in the grainy sand. A heart, a mountain some clouds and even a flower to immersed in what I was doing. I hadn't even noticed the tall dark figure in the water in front of me, I began to sing. "My little flower, bloom for me. Make me sing, full of glee, you don't know how happy you make me. When you sing just for me. Over the meadow is unseen, you'll be safe when your with me."
I remember my mom singing that to me when she put me to sleep every night. I miss her, I miss my dad and yes even jack.
Troy wading quietly in the water lurking, decides to make himself known. "What was that?" He questioned I screamed startled by the sudden appearance. "Jesus Christ Troy, that is your name isn't it you can't just sneak up on a girl, there's such things called privacy. Even for captives." I glared as I stood up wrapping my arms around my thin body, that was getting thinner. After about 4 days of being in this lifeless place I hadn't seen him since his last swift appearance. He cocked his head, "I asked a question human." I scoffed at his brutal words. "I have a name. Remember you monster, it's Lemon." He showed no sign of caring about my "monster" quote nor my name.
"Fine, Lemon what is it you were singing." I gulped feeling my heart race, I played with the hem of my dress. Taking a big breath i finally said "my mother used to sing it to me." He moved his hands around in the water, making me notice the scales on his wrist leading to the gils. "Mother?" He questioned, I sighed. "Yes, my mother you know a parent that raised me. Well partly." He didn't need to know my whole life story. "You mean the woman, I used to see till one day when she didn't come back." I gasped what. He knew my mom. Wait, he knew me?
Has he been watching me what the fuck. So now I have a creepy stalker monster holding me captive. Awesome. "So you've been watching me?" I snarled "like a creep" Troy shrugged flicking some water at me, I jumped back with a little squeak he squinted his eyes at me. "No like a curious one does. I was always in the water, lurking waiting. I could have killed you any day I wanted like the monster I really am." I rolled my eyes kicking some sand at him causing him to move back with a flick of his long tail. "Watch it!" He yelled "what fishy is scared of sand."
I retorted sitting down with an umph. Troy glared at me. "Well I was gonna help you but if your gonna be like that I'm leaving. Wait, you know what I'm feeling kinda hungry maybe I should-"
I cut him off quickly not wanting to hear what he was saying and not wanting to lose the opportunity for help. "Help! You wanna help me?" Troy smirked.
"Yes help, I found a small little island it's mainly just sand, coconut trees, rocks and some greenery." He flopped his tail splashing water at me I watched the beautiful tail flop into the water, god he was hot if he hadn't kidnapped me and starved me. I might be interested in him I could get past the tail. I shake my head.
"Why can't you just take me home." I said with attitude he well deserved. Digging my feet into the sand. Troy squinted his eyes at me "well I have my reasons human, fine you want to stay, then stay I'm leaving." He turned to leave I noticed the markings on his back like tattoos of fish circling his name. Wow was he egotistical.
"No. I wanna go if it's my only choice." I looked at the deep blue waters and gulped as I watched the clean ripples come closer to me. "H-how will we get there." He stopped and turned around to face me and bolted to the edge of the sand bar pulling himself to only a few inches of my face I looked into his deep eyes wanting to get lost in them for hours. Watching the colors swim around. Troy flopped his tail splashing even more water. "How do you think."
He lifted one brow, I gasped and pushed his face away. "No way." I deadpanned. "Nuh uh, nope not happening you said there was more of you. I don't want to get fought over like a squeak toy to be torn apart and eaten."
He glared and wiped his face where I touched. Like I was dirt. "Your safe when your with me I'll protect you, you know my name and if your to dumb to remember it's Troy. If you call my name I'll come and save you. You humans are so fragile so don't over use it." I chocked on my own spit. Why would he care about me I took a deep breath "fine anything is better than here."
He grinned before I could tell what was happening he grabbed me and tore me into the water. I screamed as he held me to himself and bolted through the water I clinged onto his big shoulder as a swam ferociously through the water. Losing air as he swam I pounded on his thick chest feeling how hard it was, okay I was using this as a chance to feel him up don't judge me.
