Aquamarine

Prologue

"Help!" Tori screamed as she fell from the cruise ship and into the ocean. She tried to swim to the ship but the waves pushed her back. She continued screaming but stopped when she realized it was no use. A big wave came her way and she started to sink into the deep ocean. She tried to swim up but it was no use. Suddenly, everything became misty, she saw a aqua blue tail swimming up to her and ........... everything went black

Tori's POV

"Owww", I moaned as I woke up. I looked around and realize that I was in a cave, I was sleeping on a rock bed and seaweeds were covering my bed.  How did I get here? I  thought. Then I remembered that I fell from the cruise ship and I was drowning. Someone must have saved me,  I thought. I sat up and continued looking around.

I head suddenly popped out of the water and I jumped. "Who are you?" I asked. "Zooma. What's your name?"  "T-tori", I stuttered.

Zooma told me how I was drowning and he helped me. What shocked me was that he was a merman. His tail was the aqua blue tail I saw when I was drowning. I told him how I fell into the water and he brought me some sea apples and berries for dinner. They were delicious.

After a week in the cave, Zooma and I became great friends. He spent long hours with me and he brought me food everyday. We fell in love with each other. It was really weird kissing a half fish but who cares anyway.

When three weeks passed I got worried and thought that everyone thought I was dead. I told Zooma and he decided to bring me home.

When he carried me to shore he looked sad. I kissed him but that didn't help. "I don't want to leave you", he said sadly. Then I remembered that mermaids and mermen could turn into humans when dried. Maybe I could try. I told him about it and he paddled onto the sand. A  few seconds later two legs appeared where his tail was. I saw a shorts on the sand and he looked at him. "Put it on", I said laughing. I demonstrated to him and he put it on. He tried to walk but he fell flat on his face. I couldn't help it. I fell on the sand and laughed. I taught him to walk and he learned it quickly.

I took him to my house and gave him a t-shirt and a blue shirt. I thought a many stuffs and he learned them very quick.

It was Zooma's and I anniversary. I looked down at my daughter Aquamarine. She was very pretty. She had blue eyes, blue hair and a blue tail like her father's. Zooma was taking me to the sea today. He found a special seaweed that makes people breathe underwater and he told me that mermaids had tails they used over their natural tail for fashion or other uses. He brought one for me.

The ocean was BEAUTIFUL. It was breath taking. Life as a mermaid must be awesome. I would spend a month down here then we would all go back to land.

<<<<<<<Three weeks Later>>>>>>>>

Tori's POV

I was swimming in the town admiring the beautiful village. Everyone was busy swimming around. Suddenly, a shark came up on me. I screamed and everyone looked at me. The shark gripped my fake tail and I swam out. Everyone gasped. I was wondering why but then I realized that my two legs were showing and the shark had my tail. I saw Zooma and Aqua swimming up to the crowd. The three of us were taken to the King.

Aqua's POV

My parents were trembling with fear. "The woman will die and the man will be imprisoned", the King said angrily. "As for you", he said touching me"shall be freed for you have done nothing wrong". I saw my mom sighed.  The king told us to enjoy our few minutes before we were separated. My mom gave me a tracker and told me to follow it and go to her best friend house and lived there. She told me to tell her that she was dead and to take care of me. My dad gave a necklace and told me that it was my guardian. They both kissed me and I had to go.
