A wing & A Prayer

Chapter 5

I won't let you take her Prince Persia stepped in front of Shell, go away.

Haha go away?! We ain't some weak ass eel servant's you can dismiss with the wave of your hand.

The Mer Mercenary grabbed Shell's arm. Coral came out grabbing her daughter back. The second Mercenary grabbed Coral by her hair.

Now what? Shell the masked mercenary asked you coming? No Shell coral begged her the mercenary put a lava knife under her merther's neck. I'm going!

Good the Mercenary tossed her a bag change. Shell changed in the room came out with fancy hair and makeup and normal clothes.

Persia demanded I'm going whatever plan you have if it goes wrong you can call my father for a ransom. The two Mercenaries looked at one another nodding yes in agreement.

The second ruffian tossed him the gardner's jumper put this on! Persia changed in the room leaving the jewlery behind.

When he exited gimme those jewels. No Persia said again. GIMME THEM! GRANNY! GET EM. Sassy gave them everything except two rings and a necklace he had his merther left him. Here it's all there. Good! He tucked the bag away.

You gimme the locket NO! Shell yelled no! Forget it the other Mercenary said she making too much noise.

Out the back! Out the back now!  Merther! Shell called, she ran back kissing her merther and Sassy. Persia hugged them both I'll bring her back I swear by the water God's. They kissed Persia hugging him Sassy begged him to come home.

Coral ran to the guard's as soon as they left the room. The mercenaries rushed the couple to the basement.

Why are we here? Shell whispered the sub level it was cut off decade's ago we are under the palace. Why?

The first man opened the hatch sea water quickly flooded the floor beneath them. Feet fused to fins ankles to a second pair of fin's. Calves and legs pulled together joining themselves as one as the water became higher.

One of the mercenaries stared at Shell lustful Persia swam in front of Shell covering her up staring the disgusting Mer down. Shell held onto Persia's shoulder's until her fuse was complete thank you Persia she whispered.

He ignored her still Ice grilling the kidnapper. What the fuck do you want with Shell? A prince using foul launguage? The mercenaries chuckled.

Guard's of the palace began to bang the steel door down that stood between them and their prince.

The kidnapper's pushed Persia and Shell into an old war human submarine. Why would they need a sub? She wondered.

When they got on the sub the Merman that stared at her with lust handed her a towel. Shell ignored him and he left it on her lap she held Persia's hand so tight she thought she'd cut his circulation. 

Persia rubbed the top of her hand staring in her eyes. Link stepped out the back of the submarine.

What is he doing here? Collateral in case the mermaid don't deliver. You dirty low down sand snake Persia cursed him with his eyes. You'll be electrocuted in a eel tank for this Link.

Link ignored Persia if you would have gone out with me I wouldn't have to resort to this Shell. What do you want Link? Beside your hand in marriage?

It's simple really I want you to take me  through the slip stream void the straight between ocean's.

HELL NO! Haha yes you will! Link grabbed Shell's hair Persia punched him in the face. Don't put your fucking hand's on her!

Link floated to him and got in his face OR WHAT! WHAT YOU GONNA DO PERSIA!?

Okay! She put her hand up between them, I'll do it but not if you hurt me or Persia and... we keep 60% of the take.

Hahah WE? YES WE! Shell what does Persia need with a dime of that money? That's not the point you're deciding to put all of our lives at risk Link so we ALL should be compensated.

That's fine pay him out of your half. If we are going through the slip stream void you're going to need some thing's.

I already have this submarine I found from the human second world war and she's solid she can stand the pressure.

It's not the pressure I'm worried about, Link why are you picking me?

You are the only Melanin Mermaid that went through the void and made it out alive. You had no boat and no ammunition yet you lived and came out unscathed how Shell?

Who say's I wasn't hurt Link? You were a thirteen year old Mermaid with the biggest score in scavenger history does your boyfriend know about that?

Shell didn't answer what happend to that diamond crown you found Shell the one belonging to King Richard the human king? Shell turned her head ignoring him.

Link walked off to charter thier course. Persia whispered to her how did you make it out alive Shell?

A wing and a prayer.
