Swimming Together

Chapter 1

~10 years old~

"Dad... Dad... Daaaad" I yelled at my father as he swam back and forth worriedly

"Oh sorry Moisha is that your mother is sick and I am just worried about her" Dad told me as he carried me and I saw his worried eyes

"What wrong with Mommy?" I asked

"Well sweetie she has been getting sea sick and she needs to rest" Dad answered calmly

I knew sea sick meant something horrible so I just told him so I want to cheer them both up "Can we cook mommy something to eat"

I raised my arms up excited as I stared at Dad with big eyes. He laughs a bit but smiles at me. See I knew he woulr laugh maybe we can finally cook here. It sounds so much fun!

"We can't cook honey you know we Royals aren't permitted to cook" Dad told me with a small smile

That got me down and I ended up swimming away from his arms. I coughed a bit but that wasn't because I wanted him to notice me but it was because I am sick. Since birth and they say I might die before even getting older than 18. I know he is telling the truth but I can't help but notice his lack of confidence in him. Maybe is because the cooks don't like to see us get our hands dirty.

I swam to my room but a wave of cold hit me making me lean to it and I followed the tempeture. It felt so nice even the coughing lowered down a bit. The fresh cold lead me towards a pack of dolphin's and I passed some kind of border and I felt myself stronger than before and I swam with so mush speed making me feel so happy. It feels so fresh so clean and its not hot.

I swam towards those dolphins when I got close I noticed their color they weren't grey or bluish grey or black and white or blue they were pink. I smiled and I swam to them they spotted me and made their own sound making me spin and they swam around me. I giggled as they swam around me.

My hair was pulled up with the small wirlpool that they made and that made me giggle. My tail made splash sounds on the surface but I jumped once above the water to look around to notice nobody the place was untouched and I felt real happy. I bent down and got into the water and another splash was heard from me I smiled and I swam with the dolphins. It was really fun I felt strong and not sick anymore. I reallt like it so much will Malcom like it here. Just the thought of him made me blush but my mood fell knowing he thinks am a freak. Like the rest of the merfolk.

I swam with them and tried to have fun but I had to go and I started to swim towards the border but the dolphins jumped and I waved good bye to them and I swam faster to the border and I felt myself slowly weak but I swam and swam more until I passed the border. I didn't want to leave I like it here so much.

I swam back to my house and when I passed the border I felt like falling to the bottom my body was weak and I started to cough making me feel confused and ask myself Why was it that I wasn't sick on river than in sea? Am I a type of mermaid with problems?

I stopped swimming and I looked at the border were I passed to play with the dolphins I felt real confused but I coughed a bit stronger and I inhaled the water by reaction and I ended up swimming away back to my home quickly and thats were I saw the sword fish swimming around looking for me.

I rolled my eyes and I started coughing uncontrolobly and I ended up touching the floor and I covered my mouth and I coughed a lot.

"Princess!" I heard one of them say

Suddenly I was helped up and taken towards my room and I lay in my bed coughing uncontrollably. Dad swam in and stopped by my bed and touched my head and felt real nerves I was coughing a lot and my throat hurted a lot and something cold was put on my head making me feel good and the coughing slowly vanished.

I heard whispers from the outside and I looked aside to see the mer-people looking at me in shock. My eyes wide I was scared of what will happen to me.

~11 years old~

I was punching the boy none stop and I wanted him dead. Completely dead I hate boys like him. I hate how they think they are better than me. I will not stand for this stuff and not from a low life like him.

"Never ever try and harass me you stupid boy" I said between punches

Students were screaming fight a lot and it only made me hit him harder only to recive a punch from him and I felt the sting in my under my eye and I got mad more and he used his legs and held me by the waist and tried to twist around which he did he held me down and I ended up looking at him but I recived his punches.

My blood felt hot and I ended up grabbing him and bending him putting his face on the grass and I started to scratch his face on the ground and when he letted me go I pushed him aside and I stood up and kicked him hard making him cough and he tried to stand up but I got on him and I punched him more and more blood was on the grass and on my hands my face was a bit bruised just like my shoulder but he looked real worse than me. 

I was quickly yanked of and people surounded the boy I shook the arms away from my shoulders and I walked away from there caring less what happens to him even if I feel guilty in hurting him but he deserved it. My dad looked mad while I was blood boiling furious and I don't need more Bs from someone like him.

I hopped in the in back and waited for him to argue with another dude and mother which I glared at and they saw me and they tried but I was just to angered to be glared back and they got the memo and disappeared dad got in the car and he knew better not to argue with me.

It was a long silent drive home which I looked out the window looking for a perfect spot to hide and think and be alone. I saw a part with a lot of grass and rocks but if I climbed them I can reach were ever it lead and I was curious were it lead anyways. I've seen it a bunch of times but I never thought about going there until I felt really curious about it.

After dad parked the car I looked at the direction of that small place and I went inside ignored my fathers voice and my mothers as well. My older sister looks at me and I really didn't care what they talk about if its me then who cares and if its them wanting to argue good I will love to watch them fight to the death but am to tired to see dumb things like that.

I entered my room and I locked the door I lay in my bed and when I knew my parents were asleep I walked towards my window and pushed them open and I jumped out. I walked straight to the grassy and rocky place. When I reached it I climbed the rocks after almost sleeping and falling in my face in a few huge rocks I finally made it down the couple of rocks.

I looked around and the grass didn't show mush I looked up and everything was trees and the trail of rocks that I went down from. I heard a splash so I followed the noise it was hard to pass threw the grass and rocks that I would step on a few times.

I fell on the grass and I looked to see a untouched river fishes jumped and the river looked like a lake it was huge. I looked back and I noticed I have walked a lot to get here and I saw no car tracks or trash or clothings everything was untouched and nobody knew about the place I looked around more and I saw nobody not even does people that build houses to stay near a river.

I saw a black horse drinking from the river while something splashed again and I looked aside to see a dolphin jumping with others while I saw a long path that leads to the ocean.

I knew it was normal the lake or river always leads to the ocean I walked over there and something shined in my eyes I looked aside and I saw a tail and I was curious to what it was and it was swimming towards the ocean I ran wanting to see what it was but the dolphins jumped making me stop and look at them I was so curious and I heard a splash and I looked back to see the tail splashing and the dolphins swam to it.

I reached the end and I couldn't see it anymore and I looked at the ocean but then I looked back to were I came and I knew I had to stay close or I would get lost in this place.

I walked back as I looked at the water and saw the dolphins play and swim I smiled I saw the horse look at me and I looked at it.
