Fight For Love<3

Marina

*dream*

"What are you?" I ask my hands trembling. My words were coming out in stutters. My heart was pounding like a drum inside of my chest causing short raspy breaths.

"You know what I am Marina, the question is can you love me?" This beautiful creature asked me.

"Yes, yes I can. I know that if I ever gave you up that my heart would never be whole again." When those words were out of my mouth he picked me up in a loving embrace while my body began to transform.

*end of dream*

I have had this same dream since I was ten years old. The beautiful man would come to me, ask me to love him, then...I would turn into a mermaid, you heard me right a mermaid. My feet would turn into this beautiful blue green aqua colored tail then my hair would become platinum blond and grow down to my belly-button. It was the most beautiful experience of my life every night I would look forward to meeting my handsome merman then despise when I had to open my eyes to find that it was just a dream.

"MARINA! You need to get down to the beach they are waiting on you, sweetie." My mother, Malinda, called up to me. I volunteered down at the beach to clean up the after math of bratty teenagers spring break every year.

"I'm up mom sheeh! Can you call Vala to tell her I'm on my way please!" I yell down to her. "Yea I will, get your lazy butt up you little brat."

I could hear the smile that was on her face when she called me a brat. Me and my mom had been on our own since my father died over seas. We lived in Cap Cod, Massachusetts for about five years, since I was thirteen. Every year after the swarm of people would leave from our little town I would go down and help clean up our little beach. Then after I would go to swim inside the crystal blue water. At times I could swear I felt like the sea called to me.The way that I was always in it my mother told me that one day I might turn into a fish.

"MARINA IF YOU DO NOT GET YOUR SCRAWNY BUTT DOWN IN THIS KITCHEN IN TWO SECONDS SO HELP ME YOU WILL BE GROUNDED!" My mom screams at me. I fly down the winding staircase and smack right into my mom.

"Was that fast enough?" I ask her with a smile on my face. She mimics my smile. "You are going to cause me to have gray hair Marina I swear child. Get going before Vala has a heart attack that her favorite person isn't there." That statement was coated with sarcasm, me and Vala did NOT get along at all.

When I arrived at the beach, at 7:30 in the morning may I add, no one had started cleaning so I was in the clear or so I thought.

"Marina where have you been?" Vala asked me.

"I over slept I'm sorry I didn't realize that today was the day to clean. Plus I don't see any of these lazy bums cleaning anyway." I tell her with an aggravated look. I was the only volunteer in the group and she wanted to be a butt to me, HA that's some mess.

"True, but you should have been here on time Marina." She tells me.

"Look, if you don't like that I showed up late one time out of the bazillion times that I have done this then this will be my last time helping all you guys, I'm not going to get walked on by you Vala I'm the best person that you have here and you know it. So after this week I'm done, finished don't ask me to "volunteer" anymore." I tell her then I storm off to start my part of the cleaning. The look on her face as I shoved by her was one of pure astonishment.

It was almost 6:00 in the evening, low and behold I was the only one who had finished my WHOLE part of the beach. This was about a mile of beach give or take and no one else had even came close to finising their part.

"Ok you guys we will finish this up tomorrow." Vala told all the workers.

I watched them walk off of the beach. When Vala and all of those lazy people were gone I decided to take a swim in the ocean. It was just now starting to get dark and the ocean look as beautiful as ever with shades ranging from dark blue to the lightest shade of blue. I striped down into my bathing suit and dived into the water. I swam and swam until I knew that the water was extremely deep. I took in a breath and dove deep down into the water. The sunlight was shimmering in the water casting rays looking like diamond shimmers. I swam under the water for what seemed like forever not needing to come up for a breath; I didn't understand but ever since my dreams started whenever I would dive under the water I wouldn't need to come up for a breath at all. As I kept swimming I saw something....was that...no that couldn't be a, holy mother of junk that was a person! I swam a little more to see if I could catch up to him. It was a failed attempt whatever it was it looked familiar to me, or was it just my imagination? I came back to the surface and collected my clothes. As I was walking to my house I couldn't shake the feeling that I knew that person that was swimming in the ocean with me.

"Good day cleaning honey?" My mom askes me.

"HA you are a funny woman. No, I told Vala to stick it up her butt in a round about words. She complained that I was thirty minutes late. To top it off no one and I repeat NO one else was cleaning their part of the beach when I got there. Then after the day was over, I was the only one who finished my part of the beach!" The last part of that sentence was forced out into a yell but I didn't care, I was pissed.

"Marina, you let her get to you so much. Why do you give her that power over you?" She askes me.

"I was blessed with a short temper from my mom. Look I'm gonna head up to bed I'm so firkin tired." I say to her. I force a smile to her giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. As I was walking up our staircase I had a flash of the person that was in the water with me when I was swimming, I knew that face from somewhere.

*dream*

"I saw you didn't I?" I ask him, I knew I had saw his face before.

"Yes you did. Don't look for me Marina. You have to wait on us a little longer my love." I looked at him confused but nod to him.

"I will wait on you Nicadimus for how ever long I have to."
