Child of the sea

☆ Epilogue ☆

It's a cold windy night in the orphanage , and Lily is sadly looking from the orphanages balcony looking at the sand at Virginia Beach. Lily hates being in this orphanage since she longs to be free and run across that beach and yet she's not allowed to go, so poor Lily is stuck inside looking at the ocean seeing boats and people come and go. "Lily! It's time for dinner!!" Ms. Claire calls, as Lily knows Ms. Claire is a push over care taker of the orphans at night, but Ms. Claire does annoy the hell out of Lily since she'd rather starve then come out and eat mac-n-cheese again; So since Lily doesn't want anything to do with the food she gets in bed and pretends to sleep, as Ms. Claire comes upstairs to see the sleeping Lily as she gently shakes the girl and yet she "isn't" awake so Ms. Claire leaves the room closing the door behind her so Lily peaks an eye open so she gets up and waits for Ms. Claire's heels to stop clicking then she goes in the halls and grabs some blankets. "I'm going to that beach." Lily mumbles as she grabs the blankets and heads to her room and ties the blankets together, throws the blankets off the balcony, ties the part in her hands to the balcony, closes and locks her bedroom door, runs to the balcony, and slides down the blankets so she sprints to the beach stumbling and tripping like a duck trying to blend in with swans. Lily runs from the orphanage and to the beach and she is happy until she hears- "LILY WHY ARE YOU NOT IN BED?!" From a familiar voice..Ms. Claire. Lily keeps running until she reaches the rocks, and when she turns around to see Ms. Claire panting but still trying to get her so Lily climbs up the rocks and dives in the ocean. Lily holds her breath as she dives into ocean as she sinks fast like a rock in a puddle and she sees two mermen swimming around her but then she sees their shark tails and her only thought was: "𝐅𝐮𝐜𝐤."
