The Last Mermaid.

{VIII} What Do You Wear to Meet The Queen Of Mermaids?

Vanessa watched as her arm turned scaly and she could see the scales going further up her arm. Every time she touches water, a little more changes about her. She slid down into the water, having her knees propped up since her tub wasn't the biggest.

She was laying under the water again and she opened her mouth, the water filling her mouth and she let it go into her lungs. Where any normal person would feel like a lot of pressure and even feel a burning feeling, she felt lighter. Her body felt lighter. Not in a bad way, a good way.

She had no reason to make her lungs move when she was in water. Her blonde hair float above the water and she looked around, wondering what to do now. She had already washed her skin and scales with dove body wash and cleaned her hair.

She didn't really want to get out though, it felt so wrong to be out of water now.

“Vanessa.”, she heard her father voice, making her rise out the water.

She pushed her hair back and bit her bottom lip, “Yeah dad?”

“I'm going to go meet Detective Hurley now, you don't mind right?”, he asked, making her smile a little. Her dad was acting like a teenager getting into his first relationship or something.

“Have fun.”, she said.

“You need anything while I'm out?”, he asked.

“No, I'm fine. Go, I'll see you later.”, she said.

“Okay. Have a good day at the party.”, he said

Once she heard her front door of her house close, she forced herself out of the water since it wasn't easy standing up anymore when your feet are flippers. She ended up on the floor of her bathroom and sighed, grabbing her towel as she dried her body. She grabbed her hair drier and dried her hair until her her feet turned back to normal and she no longer had scales.

She got up and wrapped a towel around her naked body. She went into room and looked through her draws. What do you wear to meet the queen of mermaids? She grabbed a pair of shorts and black and white flannel shirt. She guesses it'll have to do.

Once she was dress, she put on her sandals, and through her hair up in a nice ponytail. She didn't bother with makeup since—well, she looked completely fine without it. She wasn't trying to sound so full of herself, but her skin was baby soft and her lashes were thick and dark around her blue eyes.

She grabbed her house key and left her house.

It took a moment to get into town and to the cafe she was suppose to meet Adalyn and the queen at. She was nervously chewing at her nails as walked and she started notice some people staring at her as if she had something interesting on her face.

She groaned and whispered, “Shut off, please.”, she said about her enchanting powers. Adalyn may be comfortable walking around with it on, but she felt having everyone watching her. This enchanting power is what also lured those sailors to their deaths.

When she got to the cafe, she had seen Adalyn and a beautiful women next to her. Vanessa couldn't lie that the women was—she didn't have words as she stood there gawking. The women had nice smooth soft looking light brown skin. Her hair was in beautiful loose waves, the color a perfect shade of brown, and a beautiful shoulder off dress.

The women looked away from Adalyn because she must have felt Vanessa eyes on her. She gave Vanessa a warm smile and got up from the chair and Vanessa woke up from gawking and went over to the women.

“Sorry I'm late.”, she said, though Vanessa knew she was actually on time.

“Don't worry, we were early.”, the women said, showing a pair of pearly white teeth. “I'm Queen Severina.”
