Kill them? Why not
We study a lot of things in school. Plants and underwater creatures. Even animals on land. We learn a great deal of humans and their culture. I hate that class though. Adults say we need to learn the ways of humans; in case we want to leave and live on land.
We use to take class trips and visit land to watch humans and try to blend in. I always hated those trips and despised every human that spoke to me. Honestly they are like bottom feeders. The sum of the earth. I told each and every one of them that spoke to me, to shut up and leave while they still can. I don't see why we put up with them... I wont ever leave the sea.
This is my home.
A class on Human nature is stupid. We don't go up to the surface anymore, its not allowed. Any mermaid that goes on land now, is punished if they come back. If... meaning if they go on land they better stay there. Some mermaids use to have beach homes up top. We don't anymore.
Not after two years of finding out about us, humans turned on us. They have been killing and kidnapping us for whatever reason for a while now. The mermaid Order had tried to send spy's up, but they had never returned.
Totally vanished. they were killed.
Most of us didn't trust humans, even then. But some over kind mermaids did: And died because of it. Mermaids are still dying and coming up missing.
Some did two days ago from Another mermaid town called Flivless. They aren't far from us either. Even before what happened to Rue I hated humans. I always will. Whenever i'm in my humans culture class i tune out to avoid getting myself angry. If i ever see a human i'd kill it.
There heartless demons.
That's what my mother and brother taught me, and that's what i've seen. I lay on the cave floor annoyed and wanting human culture class to be over with.
Lizzy glanced at me. " Whoa... chill Livy" Lizzy whispered in my mind.
"Your gonna start a storm up top" She whispered.
I am the only one in my family to inhabit the powers of the sea. Its rare amongst mermaids. Not all of us have it. There are only three with the power of the sea. It makes us guardians. It makes us the most powerful. Though no one knows of my powers but my two best friends Lizzy, Janelle, my dad and my brother.
My mother has no clue.
I picture the sky up top, dark and full of gray funnel clouds and wild winds.. I smiled. "I hope there's a tornado sweeping every human up" I tell her sweetly. Lizzy frowned.
"You sound like a tourist." She commented. Not judging, just calling it how she see's it.
Hector nodded. " Two wrongs don't make a right." His gruff voice popped into my head.
"They made two wrongs when they took those two mermaid's in Flivless... and of course to twos don't make a right! two waves don't make a tile." I say. Referring title, to a title wave.
"You do sound like a mermaid terrorist." Hector agreed with Lizzy.
Not bothering to correct her. Lizzys cheeks turn pink.
Good thing we cant go uptop to the human world. I thought humorously.
Lizzy would get her self locked up in prison.
I snorted and laughed at the expression on Hector's face. He grinned. "Your a whole different mermaid when you talk about humans."
Lizzy sighed. "This is why she's dateless..."
I glared at Lizzy, mouth open. Hector chuckled. "I told you i can set her up with Jason."
Lizzy shook her head face annoyed. "I adore you Hector.... but my best friend is not dating that lowlife." Lizzy replyed honestly. It's what i love about her. Lizzy speaks her mind. She's nothing if not honest.
"Hey! i'm hurt.." He tells her, his voice sulking in our heads.
"Why? are you Jason?" She arched and eyebrow.
"No, and I'm glad i'm not; you'd think i'm a lowlife..." Hector said gruffly.
He laughed and kissed Lizzy on the neck. Nuzzling her with his chin. Eyes staring at her lovingly. Her and Hector have been together since forever.
Our instrutor Jane glared at us in our direction and connected to our links in our minds. "Knock it off you two! pay attention and put as much distance between you as possible or i will" She threats. everyone in the classes minds linked to our connection. They can hear everything we say. we said nothing. Lizzy moved closer to me and away from Hector. Pale eyes sad. Pink lips pouting.
"Now i better not see any connection open but mine... is this clear class?" Jane said yellow eyes angry. She's passionate about human culture. I cant hate her for it. I'm just not her biggest fan.
We all nodded.
She continued on with the lesson.
