The Mermaid I Am

Chapter Two

It was six in the morning and for some reason my mom had decided to get up, which was very unlike her. She never like to get up in the morning but for some reason now she did. I didn't mind though, I was always a morning person. As I walked out my room and walk into the tan living room I smelled the most amazing smell ever. It was my moms cooking, she had be cooking a delicious meal for breakfast. Eggs, bacon, pancakes and waffles! "You may go outside Annabelle, the food is not quite ready. But be back in time to wake up your sisters" my mom told me. It was weird, my mom never called me by my full name, she always called me Anna. But I didn't mind, so I did as she said and went for a walk. It was so peaceful, even more than it was at dusk! The birds were chirping and singing a beautiful melody! I walk next to a nice little lake that was on the property. As I walked further I heard a noise. It was strange. I heard the noise get closer and closer.. I was getting a little scared. Then I saw it..what was making the strange noise! It was a..a...a person..in the lake..singing! I'm
terrified! I've have never seen anything like this in my life! He was about the same age as me and had dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. As he came closer to me I saw something I have never seen in my life... he had a tail. Not a tail of a fox or horse but of a fish. He was a merman. I had heard stories about people with the tail of a fish but never thought they were true. But now I see there are. "hello" he said to me in a sweet voice. "I didn't think he could see me" I thought to my self. "Um h-hi" I say with a hint of fear in my voice. "Why are you so Frightened?" He asked me. " Well um you see I um have never seen a merman.." I said awkwardly. "Oh..that's probably because I'm the last around" he said. "Why am I telling him this stuff??" I thought. "My names Adam by the way." He said to me. "Oh um I'm Annabelle but you can call me Anna" I say to him. "That's a very pretty name Anna" he said in a charming way. I blushed a little... " why are you blushing! He's a fish!" I thought to myself. "Annabelle!" My mom called me. "Oh there's more people!" He said in a scared tone. "I got to go!" He said quietly. "Oh um ok bye" I said back. " why is he scared of other people?? He's talking to me? Why can't he talked or be seen by anyone else??" I thought. "ANNABELLE!" My mom yelled out. "Coming mom!" I said back.

Thank you so much for reading chapter two of my book! As you've probably noticed I've changed the name. None of the story and characters I had plan to put in have changed I just thought the name went better with how the story will play out! Thank you so so much for reading and like I said before any ideas/suggestions I would love to hear! Thanks for reading! And don't forget to vote and comment!
