Her Stormy Fate

Chapter Three

Scanario : Underwater

"The story of the Beautiful Mermaid", said Kitty, a nine year old little storm.
"What is it about?", asked Alicia, bored.
"It's about this mermaid who got caught in a trap set by a fisherman."
"Sounds cruel." Said Alicia.
"Noooo'', said Kitty, "He fell in love with the mermaid at first glance and then they lived happily ever after"
"Is this what a fairy tale sounds like?", asked Alicia, confused.
"Yes. It is a true love story", said Kitty, with her eyes sparkling.

"What is love ?", asked Alicia.

She suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Jeremy?", smiled Alicia.
"Love has no existence in the life of a storm. Kitty, you should read other stories", said Jeremy.
Kitty walked away, disappointed.

"But, why?", asked Alicia.
"Because, we're born to shatter, to ruin and to kill.", said Jeremy.
"That is so..." paused Alicia, as her little eyes glittered with a tinge of tear
"I mean", hesitated Jeremy.
"Okay, wanna take a tour round the ocean? Haven't visited the baby octopus in a while", asked Jeremy.
"Sure", said Alicia with a dim smile.

They swam across the beautiful sea, plucking underwater flowers and talking.
Suddenly, a great whirlpool trapped Alicia and took her away.
"Oh no, wait-
Aliciaaaaaaaaaa", screamed Jeremy.
She followed the whirlpool at her greatest speed.
However, it was way too quick and she failed to catch up.
It swept Alicia to the surface of the sea and disappeared.

Ship scenario

"These binoculars are- rubbish", said Jan.
"Gimme instead!", said Jessie excitedly.
"Nope.", denied Jan
"Why'd you say they're rubbish anyway?", asked Jimmy.
"Well it's just Pacific everywhere. No sign of-
Wait.
What's that?"
Jan spotted something. As they drove closer, it became more prominent. It was a white-haired girl, holding on to a piece of log in mid Pacific.
"It's a girl", screamed Jan.
"Did you steal some of my wine while I was passed out?", asked Shelby, yawning.
"No. I'm serious", said Jan, throwing the binoculars at Shelby.
"Wait, lemme see, " said Jessie, snatching the binoculars.
"Yes. There's a girl", said jessie.
As they drove closer, everyone started to get a proper view of her.
"Okay, we gotta save her. Fetch me the rope", said Jan. The sailor threw a portion of the rope at the girl.
"She's unconscious", said Jimmy.
"She won't grab that'', said Jessie.
"Aight, we got no other choice, " said Jan as he dived into the Pacific,with the rope tied around his waist.

"He takes his decisions way too quick," remarked Jimmy.
"Wrong decisions as a result.", sighed Jessie.

"Watch out," said the sailor.
"What's this guy upto? He might drown than way"
"Oh no, be careful, Jan", screamed Jessie.
Jan pushed aside the waves and made his way upto her. Somehow, he managed to pick her up in his arms and carry her back to the ship. He placed her on the board. She lay there,
her eyes closed and a strand of her hair curled around her little finger. Jan gazed at her in wonder.Her drenched silvery gown shone amidst the dazzling sunlight, revealing her beautiful body. A tinge of sand glittered on her eyelids as her faint pink lips slightly parted to let out a drop of salty water. She had beautiful blonde hair, and an overall mesmerizing appearance.
"Is she alive?", asked Jessie.
"She's breathing so I can assure you she's alive," said Jan, placing a finger under her nose.
"Wait, she's drenched. I'll get her something to wear," said Shelby, rushing to her cabin.
"And I'll make her some hot milk," said Jessie, rushing to the kitchen.
"Okay then, I'm carrying her to my room", said Jan, picking her up. He took her to his room and placed her on the bed. He covered her with a blanket and sat next to her, detangling her beautiful white hair.

Just as much as he longed to see her wake up and talk, he wanted to keep staring at her innocent, sleeping face.
"Hope she doesn't turn out as another Jessie," sighed Jan.
"She's too cute to be Jessie," thought Jan as he smiled.
