Mermaids tail (girlxgirl)

Chap number 5

Really, I'm getting sick of being forced to sleep, it quiet annoying. anyway, I awoke to see that I was in the same tank as before, but now it had decorations and things, the coral that was in it was beautifully coloured, and certain fish had been placed in the tank, but only ones that were poisonous to eat, not like I was going to eat them anyway. I swam to the surface and looked around, the room was dim, I looked outside a strange square box, there were a lot of these placed everywhere (windows), it was dark outside, but through one of the square things you could see the moon, it shone down on a part of the water.

I swam over to where the moons light was hitting, I was bathed in its light, I could feel my powers increasing, my hair started to glow a bright white light and I knew my eyes had changed from their normal green colour to that of an electric blue, this is what happens whenever I am in moonlight, don't ask me why, it just does.

The moon always seemed to calm me, so I just floated on the waters surface for a while, just listening to the sound of the water. it was relaxed, comfortable, until I felt a movement in the water, it wasn't any of the fish, it was larger, around the same size as me, I spun around looking for the source, just then I saw a head sticking out of the water, it was a girl, she had long brown hair, and blazing orange eyes, she was just like me, she had a tail like I did, this was the first time I had met another person like me.

She slowly started to swim towards me, my curiosity vanished and fear took its place, why was she here, she could hurt me, I don't like anything. I started to hiss at her, she looked shocked, I quickly diced and swam as far as I could get away from her, it seemed she didn't follow me. I took this chance to sleep, while I was protected behind some rocks.

When I awoke it was already bright. I swam to the surface and saw that the nice lady was on the platform, she looked at me and smiled, she grabbed a fish and threw it in the water a bit away from where I was, I started swimming towards it, but then saw blaze, the girl that was there last night, (she named her after her blazing eyes) she was close to the fish, I was scared again, I looked up at the nice lady who was looking at me curiously, I looked back at blaze, she had now gotten closer with the fish in her hand, I hissed at her and swam to the edge of the tank, the woman looked at me sadly while blaze looked hurt. I swam down to my hiding place behind the rocks and stayed there for a while.

I swam back up to the surface to see that blaze was no where in sight. I sighed in relief I looked to the platform and noticed the the nice lady and a man where talking, I swam close to the, it seemed they still hadn't noticed me, I got bits of their conversation. "16 years.... alone in the tank.... Rehabilitation.... the other mermaid.... needs saving.... them to get closer" just then the man noticed me, the lady saw him looking and then she smiled at me, she reached down and grabbed a fish, she threw it in the water, I quickly retrieved it and swam back to my new found place of solace, I ate and then drifted to sleep of my own choice.
