Two Mermaids and One Direction

Final Goodbyes

Cassie's POV

"Just go! Somewhere, anywhere but here! as long as you don't go near any oceans...

"Why? What's with you being so secretive? Please, cassie, babe, just tell me what's wrong."

"Fine. The damage has been done. There is nothing we can do. So I might as well tell you."

I paused before starting.

"The mermaid council is angry. Too many people know about us being mermaids. The fact that most of those people are world wide celebrities makes it even worse."

My eyes started to well up with tears.

"We can try and hide but it's no use. They will eventually get to us."

The things I was about to say were running through my head, over and over again. My mother had told me what would happen if I ever told our secret. Now it was all becoming a reality. Tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Once Brittany and I are taken, they will question us, but they are only questioning us for their sake. Playing with us. Worrying us. Everyone knows that certain lies ahead."

The tears were flowing freely now. He picked me up and sat me on my lap as I cried into his chest.

I started again.

"Once they have us, you humans will be easy. They will capture you, too. And then,"

I paused, not sure if I could go on.

"They will erase your memories- all of them. Even Lily, my best friend since I was 4, will have no idea who I am or that I ever existed. None of you will."

The thought of this was unbearable. I had no idea how long I would have to live, how much time I had with Harry.

There was one thing I hadn't told him. As a mermaid, I could only fall in love once. I was going to die soon so it didn't matter for me, but for Harry- the human, not so much. Once you love a mermaid, there is no going back. All I want for him to be happy, but I know that now that he loves me, he will never be able to love another girl again, not even after his memory has been erased. And for that, I hate myself.

These were the things that I thought about, right before I was to be publicly killed.

I would be crying if I had not been underwater.

Last night, as I drifted off to sleep hoping to find peace in my dreams, I only found nightmares that were impossible to wake up from.

Once I finally shaken awake, I found myself not in my bed, but with my arms shackled to the wall in a cell.

Then they brought us out here.

Once I found out what Louis did, I thought of a million ways to hurt him, to get revenge. He had betrayed us. I can't believe we actually trusted him.

I can't believe he would ever do something like that.

I had been zoned out when suddenly I looked next to me and saw the executioner digging a blade into Brit's arm. He blood was turning the water a sickly shade of red.

She screamed and I got the feeling I always got when I saw, smelled or tasted blood.

The judge was saying something, but the blood was clouding around me, it was coming out of her arm do quickly. I knew it was only a matter of minutes before she died.

I shook my head to try and clear the red water that was clouding my vision, that was tainting the water.

Soon I started to envy Britney. She would die soon. I would be left with no one. The people I loved would not remember me and the ones who did would be dead.

I snapped out of my thoughts and saw people screaming. it was total chaos. I was starting to get a head ache. everyone was shouting over each other and I couldn't make out a word anyone said. then all of a sudden, I blacked out.
