Her Merman - Her Captive.

14

I slid a phone out of my tail as I heard the soft snores of Scarlet.

I'm honestly surprised that the phone didn't get wet from the amount of water in the tub she kept me captive few weeks ago, or from me slamming it against the tub in desperation to escape the cuffs, I opened my phone and immediately typed in my passcode, after I typed in my passcode I passed the lock screen, it was kept on the lowest brightness as I clicked on messages.

56 unread texts.

128 missed calls.

I honestly wasn't surprised from how long it took for me to use my phone without being caught especially since I was in captive, they tried to call me to probably check on the mission but forgot the part of me being captive.

I clicked on the message from my father.

'Finish the mission soon.'

I hovered my fingers over the writing pad and texted back.

'Almost done.'

I pressed sent before I shut my phone and kept it back in, I needed to finish it quick and fast.

I know damn well how fucked up it would be if I didn't do the mission in time, but maybe, maybe once the mission is over I could give her a contract, chances are low unless I go in disguise maybe? I don't know.

I got out of bed and chanted some words in a low whisper as I look in the sky, reciting the spells my dad taught me.

"Night, night, hear my spell, night, night.."

I muttered and whispered as I looked at the stars shining.

Few more times as I mutter my tail turns into legs.

My muscular physique was there, I honestly thought I'd gain some weight from all the workouts I've been missing out on ever since I was her captive, but it was the same.

Genetics.

I heard a voice behind me.

"What the fuck..."

I snapped my head back to see Scarlet awake, on the bed staring at me with wide eyes.

Shit.

I immediately grabbed a blanket draped against her bed frame and wrapped it around my waist, the fabric gripping my waist as I looked at her.

"You heard the spell?"

I say as I look at her.

"Yes, yes...what was that all about...where the fuck....what the fuck....what's going on?"

She says as she looks at me.

I look at her as her eyes roam around my muscular body, fuck. This girl's going to be the death of me.

I look at her.

"Scarlet."

She looked back at my eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I need to do this."

I whispered as I walked over to the bed and gripped the necklace she was wearing before harshly pulling it back, she yelped as the necklace was on my hand, her neck was a little red from how harsh I was but I looked at the emerald on the middle before looking back at her.

"I'm so fucking sorry, Scarlet."

I held the necklace and twirled the metal around my fingers.

"No! Don't...please."

She said before adding.

"It was given by my grandmother."

I looked into her eyes.

"It is a family heirloom from my family, your grandmother took it from mine."

I say as I pulled a small, tiny jewel that opened the big one that had my family's last name written inside.

'Casper.'

She gasped and looked at it.

"My...grandmother stole it?"

She said as her voice cracked, I nodded in response.

Her heart was beating loudly as her eyes teared up.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

I sighed and looked at  her.

"Your grandmother took it from mine two decades ago, it was a valuable family heirloom she saw on shore and decided to take it, she didn't know the secret of it being very valuable, she also didn't know it was hours so when we found out it was missing we contacted everyone and even tracked her down with out connections, when we found her and demanded her to give the necklace back as its a family heirloom."

I whisper as I glance back at her, she looks shocked, I felt my stomach clench at her tears but I continued to speak.

"She didn't give it  back and said that she wouldn't give it, so we hired some spy's to get it back for us but came back saying she was dead and the necklace was gone, after that one of my siblings saw you with it and immediately told us a month before you captured me, then we made a mission to get the heirloom back, and for that I needed you to trust me, and I needed to stay in your home."

I look at her apologetically.

"You...you tricked me."

My stomach clenched more at her words.

"I didn't trick you at all, my dear. I could never do that...but this family heirloom was very important and valuable in my family, it has been passed down to generations and generations and it'd be fucked up if it were in the wrong hands."

I watched her get up and walk near me, I immediately walked back and clenched the necklace.

She made her way up as I stood.

She seemed zoned out as she stood still, tears dripped down her eyes.

SIX YEARS AGO.


"Grandma! Grandma!" I shout as I make my way into the kitchen to see her looking at me holding a box, her face immediately goes into a bright smile.

Grandma's hair was dark brown with a bunch of white hair streaks as she's getting older, her dark blue eyes became a bit lighter and her always wearing her signature night gown with a sweater around her shoulders.

"My beautiful grand daughter!" She exclaimed as she got up and went up to give me a big, cuddly bear hug.

I giggled as she broke the hug and looked down at me.

"Scarlet, you've been thirteen for a while now."

My grandmother said as she opened the box to reveal a beautiful necklace, it had a big, bright emerald in the middle, along the emeralds were pearls that highlighted the emerald.

"It's so pretty."

I say as I look at it in awe.

"You've been thirteen for a while, and I trust you to keep this safe."

She says as she removes the necklace from the box and puts it on me.

"Its so pretty! Thank you grandma!" 

I say with a big, wide smile as I hugged her again.

"Now, now, lets go have lunch."

She said as she gestured to the plate of spagetthi she placed on the table as I giggled and ran to the table.

END OF FLASHBACK.
PRESENT.

I looked at him, Aaran, standing right infront of me.

"I'm sorry." He said as he walked over and held me by my chin gently.

"I trusted you."

I whispered.

"I'm sorry....please, just give me some more time."

He spoke as he ran some fingers threw my hair.

No matter how much I hated what he did, it made me rethink.

"For what?"

I say.

"To fix things."

He said in a low voice before adding.

"I'll fix things after I return, give me some time. I promise you I'll regain your trust, I just needed to do this for a mission but after this I promise you, I promise you I'll never hurt you."

I looked into his eyes, he seemed sincere and his eyes were emotionless but I could see the corners tear up.

I stayed quiet before nodding.

His eyes immediately brightened as a few tears was shredded by him as he hugged me tightly.

"Thank you."

He said before hugging me tighter.

I hugged him back, I don't know why I did that.

Maybe I feel secure with him? He might just lie and trick me again exactly like how he did when I captured and that's what I'm afraid of, I should've never let him leave the bathroom and accept the deal he wanted, but I feel safe with him.

And I feel like he's being sincere.

I hate the fact that I fucking love him more then I intended too.
