The Mermaid and the Shark

Escaping

Grays POV

I'm not really sure how to react with Juvia now. This situation has just made it awkward.

The fish still haven't left either. We're not quite sure about the situation.

I think back at what Marty said. "The fish follow those who love each other."

Do I love Juvia. I mean she is beautiful; and kind. When she is reading or baking her eyes light up with excitement.

I love that look. I always want her to have that look.

I don't know though she seems to love the human world. I'm sure that is where she will go.

I can't follow her there though. I dislike humans. Juvia and I are to different.

We would never work out. Yeah we're not in love those fish are just reading things wrong. We aren't in love.

As I say think though a voice inside my head says liar. I'm scared of that voice.

I push it aside and follow after Juvia in awkward silence as we both process our thoughts.

Juvias POV

I can't believe this. Does this have anything to do with my dream last night. Gray was a prince and I was human. I don't know though.

I'm going to become human. Gray hates humans. It's better to just leave things the way they are now.

I mean besides he is also my body guard. Nothing could happen between us.

I look to see the fish are still following us. Or at least mine is.

I hate being a princess. Well I don't hate my people. I just hate how many things I have to do.

My scedule has been planned out for me from day one. I am always going to lunches with people.

I have to go to twenty different charity events. It's not that I don't care about that; but after going to a thousand it's lost its charm.

I quickly head out to my secret place. I am up super early.  Usually the seamstress isn't here until eight am. Then my planner will talk to me about everything we need to do.

Gray knows that I usually sleep in a little. He won't be here for a while. Now I grab my purse. It's a sky blue color; and its what I use to hold my human things.

I know I shouldn't be sneaking out; but I just need one day for me. Is that so much to ask for?

Am I being selfish? Well I don't care. I quickly write a note saying id be back for dinner.

I swam as fasted as I could to get there. Man does it feel good to be back with all my human stuff again. I honestly can't wait for my birthday.

I love to think here. I think about how badly I want to live on land.. How much I will miss the ocean. My dad, the servants, Marty.

I'm going to miss gray to. I'm sure thigh that he'll be assigned someone new.

He might also move on to someone as well. My chest hurts just thinking about it. I wonder what this feeling is? Why am I only feeling it around gray?

I wonder how everyone reacted. I'm sure the seamstress a nice lady named Hilary freaked out.

I'm sure my planner George was so mad because he had to cancel all my plans.

Gray was probably really shocked, angry. I'm hoping he was also scared, and upset. Hoping I was alright.

Wait a minute! I left a note! I'm sure that they are worried. Father will probably wait until night to search. He knows me; and I know he will forgive me.

I start to make my way back to the castle. I have love my day of; but sadly it can't continue.

I know that when I get there I will be yelled at. There will be a lot of "Juvia where have you been!" I can already predict that.

Once I'm within view of the castle Gray comes rushing out. Man does he look angry. He has this hard glint in his eyes.

His hands are clenched; and so is the jaw. His sharp teeth look dangerous.

I am scared of this gray. He is like the one I met on the first day we met. He is angry, terrifying, and just mean.

He hasn't even said anything. My heart clenches when I see his disheveled hair.

It looks like he has run his hands through it a lot. "Juvia where have you been!" He yells while swimming towards me more.

I cringe at the tone of his voice. I honestly don't want to handle this right now. I just need to see everyone else. So I say "Juvia isn't in the mood Gray sama" I judge walked away.

Gray looks completely surprised by my reaction. I walk into the castle. Immediately I'm swarmed by people as they say "Princess Jhvia where have you been!"

I walk straight to my father. He stares at me for a minute. Then says "Needed an escape?" I smile and say "Juvia just needed a day of." He nods then says "I'll take care of them you go lay down." That is exactly what I did.
