Why Me? (A Mermaid Story)

Chapter 4

A/N I'm wearing my cowgirl boots while updating :D Besides the point, my friend was confused so I want to explain something. She can talk but just doesn't. Ever since her mother died she hasn't talked to any one. So sorry if you were confused. On to chapter 4...............................................

I already knew this was going to be hard. I could care less about that, but just when can I leave. I already packed, it didn't take long. I had little clothing in my old wardrobe. I slipped on my black and white striped bikini, ready to make a swim in the ocean if he chases me. I sat on my mattress for about two hours waiting to hear his dreadful snoring. He was like an elephant when he snores.

I stopped my thoughts long enough to realise it was quiet.......to quiet. I listened for a few minutes staying completely silent. That when I heard a loud rumbling noise coming from his room. This was my chance to leave everything behind. TO GET MY BUTT OUT OF HERE!!!!!

I swung my bag over my shoulder and tiptoed to my door. I was careful not to make any noise opening the door. I slipped out of the attic and descended down the stairs. I took one step at a time. That was until I made it to my dad's room. I got down on my hands and knees, silently crawling past his door. I cleared the "danger zone" in no time.

I was finally about five feet away from the door. I walked forwards only to hear the squeak of the floor board from under me. That's when I heard moving in my dad's room. That's also when I ran faster that ever. Even with him yelling insults, and chasing me I never looked back. I ran strait down the path to the beach. I could care less about my stuff, and figured it would buy me a little time. I dropped it in the path only to hear a thud of someone who tripped over it.

I ran faster and faster every second. I finally started to see the ocean water. I could hear my fathers foot steps behind me. One thing you should know about my father.......................................he can't swim.

I felt the cold ocean water hit my toes. I then waddled out further, taking my dive. My dad was still on land yelling at me to come out. Being the way I am, I just smiled and waved. I knew he was MAD. Before he could master the courage to get in the water I swam away. Leaving everything behind.

I finally found a cave and swam in hoping that it would have air inside. To my luck there was. It was beautiful!!!!! Every where were these blue stones. One in particular caught my eye. It was brighter and shiner. Unlike the rest it was under the water beneath me. I didn't see something when I came in. That thought just sparked my curiosity even more. After fighting with my thoughts I decided to retrieve it. What harm could a little stone do? I dove under and grabbed easily. 

When I came up I started analysing it carefully. It was the most beautiful stone I've ever seen. I was blue, but when held up to the moonlight had rainbow colors. I was even more amazed when it started to glow. I had a strange attraction to it. 

The stone then started burning my skin, making my drop it back into the water. Then all the water around me bubbled up. I was so terrified yet amazed. The water grew tentacles that swayed to an imaginary beat. The tentacles wrapped around me lifting me up. I would have screamed but you know ...............well........urr....I'm....kind.....of......you.......know. It only warped around my waist and below. 

I felt a strange feeling like my body was shifting. It felt like every bone in my legs were being snapped. Then it stopped when the tentacles put me down. Unfortunately everything went black after that..................................
